  • I was looking for info on the running cost of electric under blanket and googled my way to this forum. I joined up and this is my first post. I've only just realised that this thread is ancient (oops!) Anyway, I bought a single under blanket which is 60w on high setting (3) settings are = (0-1-2-3-0)
    It only cost £12.45, free postage! What a buy! I'm delighted with it. It's so warm and cosy. I used to put my single radiator on to warm up the room but it was fairly inadequate and I always woke up cold.
    If what I've read on here about the running cost is true, then it's the best buy I've ever made. I wish I'd bought one years ago :-)

    Any comments welcome
    Cheers

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
