Electric blanket pre set timer?

yomagsy

I have an electric blanket (double with dual controls) that I set to come on at 9pm every night and go off at 11. I want to replace it with a similar one that has that same function but I can't see it offered in any of the adverts. They all have Timers but as the say 1hr/3 hr/5 hrs etc I presume that after they are tuned on manually, they turn off automatically. after those times. Can any suggest a manufacturer who still does this or am I not searching with the correct term to fnd one that I can set to come on and that I don't have to remember to do that  every evening ? Thanks

You could plug it into a timer switch that is plugged into a socket and set the on and off schedule.

Yes a timer switch as Devongardener suggested or a smart plug would be good too so just set it off an app so if you're away from home you can stop it coming on.

If you use a timer switch, make sure to get a blanket which warms when the electricity is switched on. Some will require an extra button press

I have mine on a Tapo smart plug - I put it to come on, but not off, so I just switch it off manually using the Tapo app as I get into bed.  If I'm away, I simply switch it to off instead of scheduled and unplug the Tapo anyway.

As @kimwp said, ensure it's the right sort of physical switch - I have a dehumidifier that won't come on using a timer or smart plug as it's a membrane type switch that you have to press.  If you have it on and running and unplug it, it has to be switched on again after you re-plug it in.

Thanks everyone. A simple solution that I had not thought about. 🙂
