I want a heated/electric blanket, but they can be expensive, so I want a really good one that will last. But when I look on Amazon or Walmart I can’t find any really good ones. All the reviews are like 4.5 stars or less, and the ones with 5 stars have like only 5 reviews. And a lot of the reviews say the quality is bad because the blanket died within a month or two, it doesn’t heat evenly, the controller died within a month, etc.

So does anyone know of any really good heated/electric blankets that last?

Today, winter lay its last breath upon my skin, my ears

​

It danced atop the highest hills and mountains, its frost only reaching so far.

​

Symbolic, how it inevitably recedes in anticipation of the cycle

​

It adorned its coat upon the trees and where man's machines did not touch, where once it held sway over all of it

​

But still, its grace and peace sat upon the land, upon my skin. It whispered quietly into my ear, mournfully.

​

I knew, and so did winter, that it was time for it to leave. I reveled in its light embrace, one last time, before the sway of the warmer air would settle.

​

I mourned with it, for winter brings me peace. The calm from the cold reminds all to be still, and I with it.

​

Despite its discomfort, I let its wind touch my bare face, my ears. It ran its fingers through my hair, and let me know of its retreat

​

"I leave, but I shall return," it said. "I will always return, and I expect you to stand to greet me when I do."

​

I was silent at the request, as the cold had commanded me be. But I smiled, mournfully. Of course I would, and when it arrives I will dance in the chaos it brings, happy to feel its embrace once more.

​

For now, I sit, watching its last efforts fall from the sky. I memorize it the best I can, to hold onto it when the heat comes that spurs life on.

​

For now, I will remember. I will relish in the feeling mournfully.

​

Until winter returns.

I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this. It turns out that my hygrometer is showing a different temperature than the thermostat in my room. I have included pictures. It also takes a long time to heat up the room and never goes above 14 degrees celcius. The heater is a long horizontal bar that runs through my room.
