Was my best friend until it stopped working
When I bought this electric blanket I was in love. I looked forward to jumping into bed, being all snuggled up in winter. It kept me warm and cosy. Loved the heating options and the quick heating setting took the chill out of the bed very quickly, especially living in regional NSW where it drops to -6 overnight.
I look forward to plugging in my blanket every winter. Being able to feel that warmth again as it cools down outside... however this year it was different. I plugged in the controller for my side of the bed, was greeted by the lights c...Read more

Quick heating with lots of options
While this electric blanket can feel cumbersome to use at first due to the double controls for temperature and time, it is just perfect once you find the settings that you like. I love the quick heat function that will heat the bed in the time in takes to brush your teeth!
The subtle blue light that glows to the floor when the power button is on is helpful for that bit of light should you wish to adjust the settings.
An all round winner from my point of view.

Sunbeam used to mean a quality product.
We have had this blanket for probably 18 months now. The controller on my side failed a few months ago. It works occasionally but mostly not. I wouldn’t buy another.

Hello Geoff,
So sorry to her of this experience but All Sunbeam Blankets have a 3 year replacement warranty. You can return the blanket to your retailer for a new replacement.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am unable to find the receipt so that rather precludes that option...

Love the quilted part but low on functions
Bought this after my last wool electric blanket which had so many variable settings from 1, 3, 6, 9 hours and upper and bottom body heat options plus 1 to 10 heat dial kicked it in after 3 years of almost daily use. I like a warm bed no matter what time of the year.
This very expensive one has very little functionality. No separate function for upper body and feet and only has 1 or 9 hours for timer and 6 heat settings.
The turbo 5 mins to warm up is good but it's definitely too hot to be in bed while that happens.
Overall other than it being quilted and I can't feel the wires, i can't say I'll buy it again.
Purchased in August 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$237.00.

too short a life for the price!!
I really loved it while it worked ..thought it was best I've ever come across. Well fitted and more comfortable with good features.. except didnt last more than a few of years.. For the high price it needs to be more durable please. I've since bought a Breville ... not nearly as neat re wires on the controls but hoping it lasts. Really preferred the Sunbeam design but it went bung! ...and I'm losing confidence in the brand.!

i am so annoyed with the new Breville with ridiculous cumbersome
wires...but the different heat zones are good... wish Sunbeam would fix theirs?

My wife loves it
Its very comfortable, heats up gently from top to toe. Would thoroughly recommend it to any one looking to replace on older style electric blanket. Fits mattress well and does not slip all over the place . Purchased at Harvey Norman Postcode 3121

Can't wait for winter
I have used this last winter and early spring and have found that the electric blanket has been a blessing to me and my two kids. They climb into bed with me and and pa, and find the bed so nice and warm. Love my kids and my electric blanky.

I FREEZE EVERY NIGHT
This controller only has 1 hour or 9 hour settings, there is no ON!!
This means YOU CANT TURN IT ON LONGER THAN 9 HOURS!!!!
I HATE IT and cursed it several times till I threw it out and bought a real blanket.

Nothing special
After lots if research I decided on this as the specs say its has an extra warm zone for your feet. It also says you can sleep with it in if you set it to a low setting. Both are a gimic. The feet area are no hotter. And on a low setting it doesnt heat at all!!! You need it on 6 the highest just to really warm the bed up. Total gimic. Don't waste your money. Just go with a cheap electric blanket. It will do thr same job.

Great quality and worth the price
I purchased this electric blanket on sale for $175. It heats up fast and has a couple different heat settings as well as a timer to auto turn off. This was the main draw card for me as I usually find once the bed is nice and warm I fall asleep quickly and don't want the blanket on the whole night. Overall it's been a great investment.

Very nice quilting so you can't feel the wires
This blanket had the features I was after: a timer so I didn't accidentally leave it on and also thicker padding than other electric blankets as my old blankets wires felt uncomfortable. The control panel is very easy to use too. It gets very hot on the max temp of 6, so I only need it on about 2 each night.

Saving grace this winter!
I purchased this electric blanket in sales towards the end of winter last year and completely forgot I had put it in the cupboard until only recently! I am SO glad I found it as it has proven to be excellent in making the bed toasty warm before it's time to go to sleep. There's a few heat settings and a timer to auto turn off. Apparently there is an auto body temp sensor but we tend not to sleep with the blanket still on for safety so I can't really comment on this feature. Fit our very deep mattress well and the quilting makes the wires feel less noticeable compared to older styles of electric blankets. Would purchase again but I probably wouldn't pay the full price which I think might be over $200 for a king size bed!

So far so good. I like this product
I purchased this product recently and have found it really good. This is the first electric blanket I purchased and I like it. The only annoying issue is when the blanket turns off it has a strong blue light. This can be negated by simply turning off the unit. I love the dual operation which allows different temperature on each side of the bed. I have found that overall this is a good product that has kept me toasty and warm on cold winter nights.

Perfect!
I love this product! I have been using this for almost 1 year now, and never regretted my purchase, albeit a bit costly. I always turn it on 10 minutes before going to bed and come to a warm snuggly bed, soooo awesome! :D

Keeps me warm, not warm enough.
Love this blanket but aside from just being a normal blanket takes a bit to warm up and can't say it provides that much heat. Body heat generally will work better over time and so the electronic component is useful but not amazing. Don't know how much electricity cost will be overnight.

Never have we had such a comfortable electric blanket. The quilting is amazing, cannot feel any wires. The controls are in the right place. The large fitted skirt is fabulous!

Sunbeam Safe & Sound Quilted Elec Blanket
Our old electric Sunbeam blanket suddenly died after many years of good service. As we missed the mid year sales we had to pay full price in September. Our son had purchased a new electric blanket 2 years prior and as his was working well we decided to buy a similar type. The new model has many new features such as 9 heat settings and a timer control (the previous one only had 3 heat settings and had to be turned off manually), detachable and dual controls, cosy feet heating and a fitted design. No problems as of this date.

HI Rose J,
Thank you for contacting Sunbeam. The heated doonas are no longer made. You may be lucky to find cotrol parts available on www.bigwarehouse.com.au The Sunbeam Quilted Electric Blanket only fits over the mattress.
Kind Regards, Sunbeam.
Disappointedasked
We have just received replacement controllers as the 9 hour heating kept either going to either 1 hour or turned off completely with just the blue light glowing. I have just attached the new controllers ... Set them on 4 for 9 hours and they just moved to 1 hour after only two hours. Can you advise please. We paid around $250 for this product. We love the pillow top...
Many Thanks, Glenda.

Can you feel the heating elements/wire through the material? My wife is like the princess and the pea?
2 answers
You can't really feel them I reckon. I think cheaper ones are worse.
yes definitely!, the 2018 model is the same as well, you can easily feel the heating wires through the entire blanket.
