This product sounds so tempting, but are they efficient to run?

Both the Lidl and Aldi regular throws (usually sold at £8.99) do a good enough job, I always feel reluctant to give electric blankets a go for fear of waking up dead

good question...i dont know how much it costs to run but has a timer so could be set to turn off it is very pleasant and i thought if we are ever waiting for our heating to be fixed it would be fab xx

Wow, that's highly unusual for Aldi. I buy their lamb leg steaks all the time, although admittedly not in the last couple of months, and they've always been solid meat with very little fat and certainly no skin.

I would definitely take them back to complain as I wonder whether Aldi even know about this as it's entirely possible their supplier could be scamming them too!

They responded today to my Facebook message, they've given me a code to take to the store for a refund. I did say to them in my complaint that they were being ripped off by the supplier, they said they were looking into it. Wonder if they've changed suppliers ?

I'm impressed with their quick responses to my messages though.

And is it washable? (She says as she loads he Lidl throw into the washing machine - it sustained a toddler-related spillage earlier this evening ).

says you can wash the throw but may not be too good with direct hits from little ones....think snuggled up on your own or with another nice adult with a bottle of wine and some kettle chips xxxx

For the price, I’d rather buy 3 of the usual throws. Would offer me more heat when layered, and are easy to maintain against life’s unexpected toddler tantrums

Pups, chips, throws & lives - if it has a plug on I really hesitate to wash the blighter so I'd be going for the layering myself too.
