Purchased for $110 from Myer Southland on 29 March, 2021. Stopped working on 4 September 2021. Didn’t last long. Myer do not have any Queen Sleep Express in stock. How do I get a refund? Stores closed because of lockdown in Melbourne.
Do I have to buy another electric blanket online from Myer and get a refund when lockdown is over? Think I will give Sunbeam electric blankets a miss. Just poor quality from China. Why aren’t we manufacturing small appliances in Australia?

Purchased June 2016. Yes it is out of the 3 year warranty period. Used around 20 times. one side stopped working last year, the other side this year.
I am amazed that such a simple electrical product fails after such little use. Given the number of similar complaints about malfunctioning electric blankets, you'd have to believe that there is an incredible failure rate and that Sunbeam have real issues in manufacturing a lasting product consistently.
I would love to know of a reliable brand as a replacement.

I'm reviewing the queen size Sleep Express with three heat settings. On the highest setting (3) the blanket heats up in about 10 minutes and if you leave it on that setting for half-an-hour you'll have a very hot bed. It's fitted, so there's no fiddling around with annoying ties.
In terms of reliability, I've had this for three-and-a-half years and haven't had any problems with it so far, a big contrast to the Sunbeam Sleep Perfect which I owned previously. The controllers on that model failed after several years. The replacement controllers f...
Read moreailed after another year or so, and then the replacement for the replacement also failed after another year. Avoid the Sleep Perfect: it costs 50% more than the Sleep Express and is a DUD. In terms of features, since this is the budget model you miss out on more heat settings and any sort of timer. Heat setting 1 seems entirely useless to me as it barely heats up the bed at all. Because of this, there are effectively only two heat levels: 2 which gives a good medium level of heat, close to body temperature, and 3 which is full power. Because there's no timer, if you accidentally leave the blanket on, it will stay on forever. My biggest complaint is that the heat pad (the area covered by the heating elements) is too small. A queen size bed is 203cm long (head to foot), but the heat pad on this model is only 123cm long, which leaves 80cm not covered by heating elements. Half of that is under the pillow, but that still leaves 40cm unheated: 20cm at the feet and 20cm at the shoulders. That's the part you'll feel when you get into bed - from your scapula downwards will be warm, but your shoulders and upper back will be cold! Why, Sunbeam?Purchased in at Myer.

My Wife & I just love our Sunbeam electric blanket. We couldn't get thru our very cold winters [was 1c degree this morning and usually around 6c degrees when We go to bed. I love the digital readout too. One look and you know what heat setting and how long it is on for... It also just fits our queen sized bed perfectly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .... BUGBUYER

This blanket is easy to fit soft texture, it heats up fairly quickly, my previous blanket was also a Sunbeam, had it for 10 years never a problem. The only thing I can say about this one is that the controls have a blue light when turned on and it lights up the room

We got this for winter and it's been really good. Individual controls on each side allow us to have it at the temperature my partner and I are comfortable with. I'm very happy with it.

This is the second Sunbeam blanket I have purchased in 2 years. First purchase I lost the receipt when, after one winter, one side stopped heating. With some caution I purchased another Sunbeam as it was on sale at the time. I kept the receipt and returned faulty blanket today. There is no replacement available (until next winter), but at least I got a refund. I won’t buy another Sunbeam electric blanket.

I bought this electric blanket just over a year ago. It was working perfectly and then about 3 months ago one side stopped working whilst the other side kept working. Now the other side has stopped working. I would not recommend buying this product.

Really great quality compared to most lower costing electric blankets! Would highly recommend to anyone, works as described, reputable brand, and feels comfortable, easy to use premium controller. No problems from start to finish, and heats very well.

The blanket fits perfectly with my bed. Keeps my bed warm, and feel comfortable too. The electric cables in the blanket blend in well enough that I couldn't feel a thing when we are lying on it.

It definitely heats up very quickly, which is exactly what I need. The highest setting is a bit too hot to sleep with, I use it just to warm up the bed quickly before hopping in, then I turn it off. If it's a particularly cold night, I put it on the lowest setting and let it run all night. It would be better if it had a timer, and extra warm zones like in the foot area, but for the price I can't complain. My only complaint is the blue light on the remote when it's turned on, it can be very bright and lights up the room, which can annoy some light sensitive sleepers.
