Heated seats. Which one to choose?

In the cold season, among motorists, the question becomes: "How to warm the car?". The most popular method of insulation is to install seat heating. There are huge amounts of heating on the market and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Next, we look at several models that have come to us in the review.

The review presents seat heatings of all types-heated capes, heated covers and recessed seat heatings.

Heated Covers

HEYNER heated covers Among the covers on the heated seat there are models of two brands-HEYNER and Milex. Heated HEYNER WarmComfort Pro covers are available in two colors-gray (505,700) and black (505,600). Heated Milex seats as opposed to give as many as 5 different colors-red, dark blue, light blue, gray and black.

The heating of the HEYNER seats differs from other heatings in this review in a positive way by the heating element. In HEYNER covers, carbon fiber is used as a heating element, which differs from a wire element by higher reliability, protection against fracture and better heating ability. In all other monitored heatings, a wire heating element is used.

Yes, and in other trifles, HEYNER found a way to excel, the power cord is thicker, the capes and covers are supplied in a better package that looks like a bag with a lock-it is convenient to store heating here in the summer when it is not in use. In addition, HEYNER added to the package of some of its devices a warming cover on the steering wheel as a gift-simple, no frills, but the company's concern is pleasant.

Heated Milex Covers Milex heated covers have several features. First, they are always sold in pairs, so paying attention to their price, do not forget that in fact it should be divided into two. And secondly, knowing that the covers come bundled in pairs, the company used the output of the power cord from different sides-a trifle, but how convenient! The fact is that if you install a cover or cape with heating on the front passenger seat, then the wire goes towards the door, and it actually has to be turned 180 degrees. Here, both from the driver’s and passenger’s heating wires go to the center console, where the cigarette lighter is usually located. Just do not forget that when pairing the use of heating is useful splitter cigarette lighter socket. By the way, it can be useful not only for connecting several devices with a cigarette lighter plug, but also for charging phones, tablets, etc. devices via USB.

Covers fit almost all types of seats, except for clearly defined sports. Although, probably ... in all sports cars are already built-in heating.

Both types of covers-HEYNER and Milex-first put on the back, closing it completely. Then the lower part is fixed on the seat with the help of various rubber straps and hooks. Headsets for head restraints are provided, while at HEYNER there is also an extra warming cover for the steering wheel. Here we also note a couple of features of HEYNER covers: firstly, they have a pocket for small things on the back of the back, and secondly, the sidewall is not solid, but large openings and rubberized straps, which is important for cars with side airbags .

I would also like to note that the power of both cases is almost equal: for Milex-up to 32 watts, for HEYNER-up to 35 watts. This power is enough to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Heated Capes

Seat heating (cover) Vitol H 19002 BK with heating control Next, consider the seat covers. Their main difference from the covers is that they cover only the front part of the seat with which the body contacts. The back part is equipped with various straps and straps, which fasten similar capes. Capes are more mobile than covers, they are easier to remove from the seat and, for example, install on another car. Important note-when choosing a cape, choose models with a high back, otherwise the cape will rest against the lower and middle part of the back, and the shoulder blades will hang in the air. Of course, it also depends on the usual posture of the driver or the seat itself-perhaps it has a fallen back, and a similar cloak of it on the contrary only aligns it. But, in any case, keep this nuance in mind.

Seat heating (cape) Elegant Plus 100 576 with heat control color black Heated Vitol caps are identical in their characteristics and differ only in colors: Vitol H 19002 GY/BK is a gray cape with black inserts, and Vitol H 19002 BK is a completely black cape. Both models have a high back and cover the front of the seat almost completely, which is an undoubted advantage. The stylish design of the cloak allows her to look harmoniously in the car. Both capes have a heating level controller, which is located on the power cable and with its help you can control the degree of heating of the capes. These capes, like any others, operate from the vehicle’s on-board network and are connected to the cigarette lighter socket with a standard plug with a connecting indicator light and a built-in fuse rated for up to 10 A. The Vitol seat heaters have a rated power for standard heating-35 W, and for intense-45 watts.

Heated seats (cape) HEYNER WarmComfort Speed ​​ The second pair of capes are Elegant heated capes in Polish, the models are 100 572 and 100576. Like the previous capes, they are identical in characteristics, but differ in design. The Elegant Plus 100 576 has a high back and the Elegant Plus 100 572 has a low back.The Elegant seat heaters are black and have a heat regulator. Their power is exactly the same as that of the Vitol.

Heated seats (cape) HEYNER WarmComfort Pro 506600 HEYNER WarmCraft Pro 506600 and HEYNER WarmCraft Pro 506700-the top models in the assortment of heated capes HEYNER. WarmCraft Pro capes differ from each other only in coloring, 506600-in black , 506700-gray. The HEYNER WarmComfort Pro heated caps are made of a pleasant to the touch breathable material. The main features of these capes are a carbon fiber heating element and a convenient heating control with indicator lights. The power of these capes in the HIGH mode reaches 35 W. Like Heated HEYNER covers approx included is to insulate the cover on the steering wheel.

The fourth pair of capes are also the capes HEYNER-WarmComfort Speed ​​504000 and WarmComfort Speed ​​504200. These capes belong to the budget segment of the heating HEYNER. They do not have a heating regulator, but differ from previous capes in the best quality of heating elements and exterior upholstery. Power capes HEYNER WarmComfort Speed ​​reaches 42 W.

Built-in Heaters

Recessed heated seats Emelya UK 2 with a heating control The built-in heating in our review represents the Russian old-timer of the market-Emelya UK2. The built-in heating requires removal of the upholstery, wiring installation, cutting out plastic on the front panel or console for the elements management. In short, most ordinary motorists will need to contact a specialized installation center.

In addition, built-in seat heaters Emelya stand out more and a number of nuances when installing. For example, it is difficult or impossible to install them normally on the seats, in the central parts of which are built-in cross-beams, which give shape in the form of stitched depressions. When installed on seats with such an arrangement of ribs in some cases they can be removed without any special "loss". But on models, where the ribs are centered, from such actions we can expect the transformation of the seat into a pillow-shaped rounded shape. Ideally, you should have solid central areas, at least about the size of a heating element or even slightly larger.

But Emelya has its advantages:

- the seats are not covered with anything, preserving the original aesthetics of the cabin (especially important for leather seats);

- the heating is connected directly to the electrical system of the car, and therefore its power is not limited by the resources of the cigarette lighter. Therefore, the power of built-in heating is often higher than that of capes and covers. In heating Emelya UK2 power reaches 70 W.;

- Smooth heating control (8 modes).

General: heating time and heating controls

The feeling of heat after turning on the seat heating depends on the thickness of the clothes and the degree of cooling of the cabin. In the first autumn frosts in autumn clothes, the warmth is felt almost immediately after switching on, and in cold winter-in one or two minutes. What does this apply to all cases and capes in this review. Built-in heaters heat up a little faster. It is not recommended to go for a long time with the heating turned on, and already after 5 minutes you want to switch the heating to “LOW” mode yourself or turn it off completely-otherwise it’s just hot.

The control unit of most of the heaters is pleased with its compactness, but it distresses the lack of a light indicator of the operating mode and a slight movement of the control slider. Against this background, the Heyner unit is much more convenient: larger, with a convenient switch key and two operation mode LEDs. Note and drum Emelya UK2-its indicator can glow in different colors, and in addition to the basic numbers 1-2-3-4 there are also intermediate positions, which in total gives 8 modes of operation of the heater.

Conclusions

Covers and capes with heating-a great universal gift for car owners! This is not some kind of trinket, but a practical gift-a constant pleasant reminder for at least six months a year and concern for the health of loved ones! Heated seats can be bought in Kharkov, Kiev, Odessa with delivery in Ukraine at 130.com.ua.

Built-in seat heaters Emelya-good in power, everything is neat and inconspicuous, in fact, comparable to factory-made. But with respect to clothing heated significantly more expensive than the product itself and its installation. In a word, this is a worthy decision, but of a completely different class-primarily used for installation on leather seats. Not suitable for all cars-before buying and installing it is necessary to consult with the installation center experts, showing your car.

The capes are a simple budget and quick solution: it has become cold today-it has become warm for two or three hundred. But against the background of good covers, it is usually a loss.

Interesting covers Milex-in pairs, the conclusion of the wiring, different colors.

Perhaps the best preheatings in this review are Heyner covers-universally, efficiently, accurately, aesthetically, and as a gift in a ready-made, presentable package.
