A Comfytemp 12 inch by 24 inch heated pad that plugs into a car's 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket, sized for the lower back, abdomen, neck, or shoulders rather than for covering a whole body. It offers 4 heat settings and 11 auto-off timers, so you can set it to shut down after a short commute instead of running unattended. The cord is extra long to reach back-seat passengers. It fits most 12V and 24V vehicles including sedans, SUVs, and trucks. The controller detaches so the blanket goes in the washing machine. Best fit: cold-climate commuters, anyone whose car takes 15 minutes to warm up, road trips, and people who use heat for back or abdominal discomfort.
Pros
- Heats immediately off the 12V socket instead of waiting for the engine to warm the cabin
- 11 auto-off timers mean it will not run unattended after you park
- 4 heat settings so it works as gentle warmth or as targeted heat for back discomfort
- Controller detaches so the blanket itself goes in the washing machine
Cons
- At 12 by 24 inches it is a targeted heating pad, not a full-size blanket that covers your lap and legs
Frequently asked questions
How big is it really?
12 by 24 inches. That is sized to cover your lower back, abdomen, neck, or shoulders. It is not a full lap blanket, so if you want whole-body coverage in the car this is not the right product.
Will it drain my car battery?
It runs off the 12V or 24V socket, which in most vehicles only has power when the ignition is on or in accessory mode. The 11 auto-off timer options add a second layer of protection against leaving it running.
Can I wash it?
Yes. Detach the controller first, then machine wash the blanket. Never put the controller or cord in water.
Does it work in a truck or an RV with a 24V system?
Yes, it is listed as compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles including cars, SUVs, and trucks, as long as it plugs into a standard cigarette lighter socket.
