Xiaomi has continued to rack up its winter products. The tech giant has announced the PMA electric blanket under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. This is coming not too long after the company launched the Smartmi Electric Heater 1S with app control, Chanitex smart temperature-controlled mattress. The Chinese tech giant has also launched several heated jackets, including the 3-in-1 Cottonsmith heated goose down jacket.
The electric blanket keeps up with the minimalist design for which Xiaomi’s products are known. It comes in two versions a graphene version and an electric heating wire version. It uses very low voltage power output of 24V, making it safe for use. The voltage rating is lower than 36V which the human body can still absolve.

Further, the smart electric blanket features a smart sleep mode which keeps the temperature at a dynamic level in sync with the body temperature. This ensures the user is kept warm all through the winter. It is available in two sizes; 80 x 150cm referred to as Single model and 150x170cm, referred to as Double model.
The electric blanket can be controlled via the XiaoAI voice assistant but also via the MIJIA app. Thus, you can remotely turn on the heated blanket while still on your way back home.
Pricing starts at 199 yuan ($28) for the electric wire pad with a single 80cm x 150cm size. The graphene pad version goes for 399 yuan ($56). The bigger pad gets a slightly higher price tag. The product is expected to start shipping in China on November 29. We doubt if it will be launched outside China.
