I bought two (one for my old mum and one for me) from Aldi over 5 years ago. Both are still working fine. I love it and it's so much easier than lighting the fire. It's big enough to cover your whole body, and has multiple heat settings and timer so you can't accidentally leave it on. Great value at about $30.

I used this few years ago and its working absolutely safe and sound. We bought queen size bed heater and it has dual, control. I like to keep the heating low and my wife likes on high temperature so it works perfect for us

Hardly used my Lumina Heated Throw Rug, now it is dead. Tried everything, just won't heat. Pity, will have to throw it out. No good for the planet. Had it for 3 years but only used it around 6 times.

I agree with the other comments that the Aldi throw works fine, but it doesn't have the longevity of a Sunbeam. My Aldi heated throw stopped functioning after 13 months (just outside the warranty period) whereas my Sunbeam throw was still going strong more than four years after purchase (I think it might actually be more than five years but I can't find the receipt to confirm). The Sunbeam also has a 3-year warranty compared to Aldi's 12-month warranty.

Ive had my throw since April 2013, so that's 3 and a half months and although the connection overheats when left on extended time frame, I've had no other problems....doesn't need to stay on for long as it heats nicely...hope to have many years with use and will be looking to purchase one for my mum before next winter
inexpensive, efficient use
connection overheats, cleaning instructions not attached to throw
