Thank you for the video! Also your video is more important than you realize. Many places in Canada, Europe, US etc having energy problems, high utility costs and problems. This means they are turning to electric blankets. Also electric blankets are the CHEAPEST power usage heat of anything, often 50 to 70 watts. Space heaters and other devices don't even come close on terms of cheap power cost. Space heaters start at typically at least 300 watts and even then cannot keep a room warm by comparison. So this means many people can benefit by your effort to help people.
Not to fold it - meaning not to fold it and sleep on top of it to bent the heating elements that would induce split and cracks in the wires. The more you folds it and keep doing it over a year and the elements could crack, it’s like repeating to bend a solid metal wire for hundreds of time, the wire that is 3mm thick.
Thanks for explaining the use of electric blankets safely. I read a few comments below regarding these blankets coming folded. In that case what to do? This video does not specify about under or over-blanket
Yah that's just tedious at best "hey can you check on my $30 electric blanket?" Electrician literally does what you would have done "Ok, that'll be $500"
My problem is rooms today come with ONE socket. So, what does he mean it should be alone in the socket? We have phones to charge and stuff. The average bedroom these days use an extension cord which you can use to plug in multiple things.
We have more information on electrical safety on our website www.notts-fire.gov.uk/community/safety-in-your-home/electrical-safety/ there are also links to an overloaded socket calculator.

I have a double bed with both sides of electric blanket that heat up and have switches on each side but the side i sleep on, the cord is damaged. Can i flip the electric blanket over to the working side? the cord is at my feet. If i flip it will the heating element still work? hope this makes sense
As Graham says, we ask people to use separate plugs for appliances that use a lot of electricity and get hot. Overloading extension leads can and does cause fires.
