Durability After testing, each electric blanket and heated throw is washed and dried five times to simulate wear and tear. While testing, we found big differences in how quickly and evenly electric blankets and heated throws heat up, how much energy they use and how quickly they change temperature when you make an adjustment.

The courier is not responsible for unpacking or setting up items unless the service has been separately purchased.In many adverts for electric blankets or heated throws, manufacturers claim that blankets cost 'pennies to run', but what does this actually mean? This is especially applicable to Scottish Offshore (KW15-17, ZE, HS, PA20, 41-49, 60-75, 77-78, KA27-28, PH40, 42-44), Scilly Isles (TR21-25), Northern Ireland (BT), Channel Islands (GY, JE), IOM (IM), Eire and BFPO addresses. A built-in 9-hour timer, auto off and overheat function make it perfect for using on the sofa or when falling asleep. On their highest settings, we found that electric blankets cost anywhere between 2p and 7p an hour to run.

Energy use We attach each electric blanket and heated throw to an energy monitor and record how much money it costs to run on its highest setting. There is quite a big difference in how snuggly each one is and underwires are more noticeable in some of them. Also, be aware that the running cost claims on the box are often based on the blanket's lowest power setting, which our testing revealed hardly heats the blankets up at all.This could provide insufficient protection when considering the fluctuations in the UK power supply. Anyone found to be using this content without our express permission will be asked to remove it and could be prosecuted. You confirm that the PayPal account, Credit or Debit card being used is yours and/or you are authorised to use it. If you want to keep warm in bed without shelling out for an electric blanket, a cheaper option is a hot water bottle. We loved this underblanket not just for the warmth factor, but also because you couldn’t feel the wires at all under the sherpa fabric.

Once the fault is confirmed, we will arrange to collect the item for replacement or repair within 14-21 working days. During testing, we didn’t notice any cold patches and our co-tester appreciated that they didn’t need to have their side switched on, as the dual controls allow each side of the blanket to be adjusted independently. A built-in 10-hour timer, auto and overheat function make it perfect for use on the sofa or when falling asleep. If there is no lift, the courier will charge for labour depending on access, item and number of floors.

The throw features 10 fully adjustable temperature settings giving you complete heating flexibility. When using it overnight, we were quite glad it switched itself off, so we didn’t wake up a hot, sweaty mess. See how the running costs of an electric blanket compare to the cost of boiling your kettle for a hot water bottle in: Hot water bottle or electric blanket, what's best and cheapest for keeping you warm in bed. To test electric blankets and heated throws, we've designed a test that captures how quickly and evenly each blanket heats up.

Testing was carried out by a couple who are famously hard to please, and prefer different temperatures when it comes to drifting off to sleep. We do the same for each one on its lowest setting, but this results in such low temperature increases that we don't think it's a realistic setting for keeping warm. Machine Washable: Just pop your blanket into the washing machine at a low temperature to make it look new again.
