Would love the product if it didn't keep failing.

published

Truly, this is the 5th electric blanket I have had that has failed within a season. The controller suddenly stops working. Every year it is back to Farmers to get it replaced under warranty. Originally I thought it was my fault because I had washed it, however, the last two didn't get washed and still failed. Love the blanket but won't be purchasing it again or any other Sunbeam product. They know there is an issue, yet still keep producing these products. This says a lot about the company.

Can't get the glue smell out

published

Our blanket has developed a very strong aroma of, what I suspect is, glue used in the padding. We air the blanket outside regularly but just cannot get rid of the smell. Otherwise, it works fine.

Wool electric blanket - Poor product

published

Only lasted 2 months and the controller failed, tried the other controller and still failed with the fault is one side of the extricate blanket. Also found the edging spits in several places and moves on the mattress.

I would not recommend at all and buy another brand.

Second time failure!!

published

Bought first blanket in March this year, one side stopped working within two months. Myer has replaced now with second blanket again after 2-3 months it has failed again. Such a fire risk I will NOT continue to use with just one side heating!! Will pursue a refund, but will opt for cheaper brand as this has been such a waste of time & money. Being the end of winter though I am having trouble sourcing a new one anywhere.

Purchased in at Myer Online Store for $440.

Waste of money

published

When you pay over $700 it disheartening to have one side control break after a year. I called Sunbeam and 1 replacement control would be almost $200. I declined so only half the blanket worked. Then after 3 years it has stopped heating completely. Was told unable to repair so bought a cheap no name brand at $130.

All through winter. You're supposed to take it off your bed for summer but I forgot to last year

published

Excellent product, really love it. I was scared of electric blankets previously but after visiting relatives in Tasmania who all have them I realized that my fear is unfounded. The main thing is to keep them from being folded and compressed so you don't damage the wires an cause hotspots. They do say replace every 3 or 5 years but I'm going on 4 years and quite happy. I hope to get another say 4 or 5 years out of it.

Purchased at Myer for $220.

4th fleecy electric blanket has failed

published

As reading the below comments I would like to add we have had the same problem our 5th Sunbeam Electric Blanket wool fleece which is a nice blanket to sleep on but the problem being each time the controller has stopped working we bought them all at Harvey Norman who has replaced the blankets each time as they have still been under warranty. I think this is us for us we will try another brand now, very disappointing!

Very soft and easy to operate.

I bought this heat blanket for my parents last week and they love it so much. It is very soft and thick. Very easy to operate and warm up fast. The design of mode is quite useful.

Do not buy!!!

published

The controllers do not last. Google the flashing blue light. If you buy these products you will just forking out for controllers. Not worth the excessive cost. This is not a quality product.
