Heated Overblankets..Are They Worth It?

Rosa_Damascena

I too love mine and have it running all night. It's not too pricey to run and I struggle to get out of bed with all this delicious heat coming through.

Am a bit concerned about long-term exposure to the magnetic field but will take my chances.

I’m thinking of buying one to use while working from home.  If it saves on the heating will be cost effective. Not that I can ever have the central heating on for too long anyway as it just drys out my eyes. 

Well the new price rises for energy will make you weep

I was given one for Christmas and I love it.

I’ve just ordered one for all of us on the back of this thread, in an attempt to be able to not use the heating much next year. Cannot wait for delivery!

I've been looking for one too but does any0one know if you can get a 'double' throw with only one controller/plug?

it would be great to be able to snuggle on the sofa together but the house doesn't have many plug sockets.

I ordered mine a couple days ago and got next day delivery. 

I've not needed to plug it in yet as so warm and snuggly without the heat!

Mine was a genuine question if anyone is able to comment. Would 25kg of bull terrier plonked on top knacker the the electrics?

I don't see why 25kg of dog on top of a blanket would do any more damage than more than 25kg of person but i guess it might depend on if your dog is a digger or if their the type of dog to circle and lie down without digging. i know someone who has a cat who loves the blanket no problem but the cat needing at the blanket is up and down and doesnt bend the wires iyswim

He’s a fidgetter. I was pondering whether as they’re called over blankets, they’re designed to stand much of any sort of weight on top. I wasn’t thinking people would be sitting on them.

I'd reach out to a manufacturer, my concern would be more from chewing. is it low voltage?
