Worst electric blanket I’ve ever had

published

Being in a cold are we always have an electric blanket. After our last breville one wore out we looked no further than another breville and paid a bit more too. BIG mistake. It might have multiple heat settings but any higher than 1 and you are being cooked alive (and I feel the cold and love to be toasty but not that hot). 1.2m cord dangling off the bed means you have to fish for the controller and have a mass of cables beside the bed. And the connection is right near your head and very uncomfortable. I didn’t think it possible to get an electric blanket so very wrong.

Purchased in July 2021 at David Jones Retail Stores for A$200.00.

Flashing F

published

First blanket had t.o be returned when controls failed now second blanket flashing F after just 5 minutes. Tired of having to return whole item so will not be purchasing this brand again. Previous reviewer is correct, no mention of Fflashing in directions!

Awesome never get hot feet again

published

This is one of my best purchases.
Have you ever had the trouble of hot feet at night? This solves it ... you are able to just have the top half of your bed warm or bottom half.
very nice heat too

Bad choice

published

We bought this blanket because it has dual zone heating. It was not the cheapest one, but I love to have my feet a little longer heated than the rest of my body. Well, so far ... it worked. But the heating is so weak. Compared with my old heating blanket it is probably 30% of what I'm used to. I rejected my old blanket because the wires started to stain through the fabric, but I happily took it back from the attic. Even with his patchy looks, it heats way better than the Breville Body Zone BZB537WHT.

This is perfect

published

I like this blanket. For me, its little bit too hot to use as the blanket. So I just use as the quilt cover on my body. It can be warm very quickly after I turn it on. The only problem is if the blanket get wet, it will have a bad smell.

Only worked for 1 day.

published

Bought this at myer with the recommendation of staff. It only worked for 1 day, then one of the controller didnt work anymore. I took that overseas, so end up having to bring it back to Australia. Took the controller back, hopping they can swap it. Then advised by myer they can only swap the entire blanket. Had to take the whole thing back, and end up just returning it. My target electric blanket works much better and i had it for 3 years.

Defected

published

Left side works perfectly, right side only half of it heats up. Will take it back after winter is over.

Other than that, heats up quickly, 6 levels of heat is a bit overkill for me — Can't really distinguish the difference between 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6 to be honest.

Ok

published

I purchased the Breville Bodyzone recently after my Kambrook electric blanket was loyal to me for nine years. This blanket was more expensive. It displayed an F error when I only had it for a week. It is also harder to use.

Was awesome until it stopped working

published

Loved the 2 zones and the flexibility of the hourly timer. Then started to get the F fault on one of the controllers meaning it would shop heating. Turned off unplugged etc. sometimes this would work but other nights it repeatedly faulted. Ended up returning and getting a sunbeam as it seems this a common fault for the product. Very disappointed for the price.

Fantastic Electric Blanket - Many useful features!

published

We previously had a Sunbeam which we had endless problem with the controls needing constant replacing. This Breville is excellent and the features on the easy to use control are great. Very happy with this purchase.

Sadly this review is no longer true. We have had endless problems with F (fault) on the dual controllers which renders it useless.

Breville blanket: controller flashes "F" and no heating happens. Quite a new blanket. No mention of this in the manual. The flashing has happened at earlier times but seemed to have fixed itself. This time it is remaining cold. Any help? e-mail [email address removed]
