An Excellent Electric Blanket

published

I have been kept fabulously warm during a very cold winter by my purchase of a Sunbeam Electric blanket. Its control hangs conveniently by my bed and has a blue light to make the control visible in a darkened room.

Good warranty period

published

First bought this electric blanket in 2017 and it worked a treat. Went to turn it on in winter of 2018 and it didn't work. Customer service at Sunbeam was fantastic and blanket was replaced at Harvey Norman where it was purchased. There is a three year warranty on these electric blankets and you can get the remote and/or blanket replaced if there are any issues.



Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman.

Hi Kat1968, not sure why this would be happening, they are usually reliable. Good news is of course it is still under warranty so you will be able to receive your replacement.

Does the job

published

The blanket heats up quickly and is light. I put it on my sofa and it is comfortable as a blanket itself even when I don't turn it on. The controller is also quite sensitive which I'm pleased with.

Saved me through winter!

published

I got my first one through my dad's friend as she purchased the wrong size. I'd never tried one before that but honestly could not live without now. Easy to put on bed and it can also be washed easily. If anything happens to it now i would definitely re-purchase no matter the price, it's definitely worth it! Good settings and so easy to use, i definitely prefer my electric blanket to heaters now. Has helped me so much through autumn in winter, and when summer comes around I just take it off my bed to wash and put it back on when it gets cold :)
When on my bed, can't even tell it's there, feels fine!

Good value for money.

We bought two of these for our kids' beds. We live in Tasmania. Really like the feature on the controller that has a timer - it will automatically turn itself off after 75 minutes or 12 hours.

Great for Winter.

published

Purchased this to help me get through the cold winter nights. This blanket is fantastic, it's fairly quick to warm up & I love how energy efficient it is compared to running one of those oil/gas heaters. I usually heat the blanket up until its nice and toasty and then turn it off as I'm usually fast a sleep within a couple of minutes of snuggling in.

Definitely not the cheapest around but worth it's price for a well known brand and for a warm nights sleep in the freezing winter nights.

Perfect for those cold nights

published

Great for our oldest child. Pop it on an hour or so before bed and it's warm and cosy when bedtime comes. Don't need it on a high setting either and love the timer function so they can fall asleep nice and warm and it will turn off after a set time frame.

Rubbish - 3 failed, each after a few weeks of use.

published

Yes I have had 3 of these fail, each after only a few weeks of use. The manual mentions the many levels of protection from electrical failure but the blanket is obviously over-engineered as the protection mechanisms prevent the stupid things from working for more than a few weeks. Once they start blinking non-stop, they cannot be fixed and you have to battle with Sunbeam to get a replacement because they may tell you that they have no replacement stock.
TIP: If Sunbeam send you a courier bag in which to return the faulty blanket - record the reference number on the courier label so you can quote it later in case they forget to send a replacement.
They have a 3 year warranty so you'd think they'd be decent products!!
