Great! Just a few questions (if I can pick your brains;) )

Do you find it "uncomfortable"? Apparently the dial is in a difficult place.

Did you find the price you paid was very different to what you see them priced as now? (ie, is it worth the wait when it comes to saving money to wait until the summer).

Is it easy to wash/keep clean?

Hi,
I don't find it uncomfortable at all. I positioned the dial on my husband's side down near the bottom of the bed and he has never complained. As for the price, I actually paid £6.00 in the sale for the king size but as I said in my previous post I walked back home carrying an electric blanket when the weather was about 70 degrees. Hope this helps.
Having only used it for a short time I haven't felt the need to wash it yet. I just make sure it is still straight and fastened in place when I change the bed.

Hi
An update (this is my first electric blanket so bear with )
In Tesco there are 2 packs - blue and orange, both with the same name, and details on the outside.

The control on hte blanket is up near the pillow, so may be a hard spot under the sheet - not sure if Ive put this in the right place - is this normal?![/QUOTE]


This is one of the main complaints other reviewers had when I checked a few days ago, I had looked through the littlewoods website at their reviews as they had a few more to sift through. (Not an easy website to use though!)

£6? wow! I'd walk down the road wearing it in the summer for a price like that! Have seen them for around £50 everywhere else at the moment- I'm going to wait because I think that's my only option! Can no way afford £50+ and don't want to waste money on something that doesn't work very well.

I'm currently using a hot water bottle and sleeping under a 15 tog duvet with a thick fleecy dressing gown over the top. After the initial 15 mins of getting used to ice cold sheets, I am soon warm enough.

Click track this product then enter the desired price, I tend to look for the lowest price, add a bit for inflation and then set the price a few pounds above that, enter your e-mail and it will notifiy you when it gets to the selected price, which saves a bit of checking the same item.
