Electric blankets have become one of the most sought after items as many look to cut down on their heating bills - and there is one in particular that shoppers are recommending.
Bargain hunters have been sharing rave reviews of the £45 Dreamland Antibacterial Heated Underblanket from Argos that heats up so quickly and efficiently that they're opting for it over central heating.
As energy bills have soared over the past 12 months, many of us have been looking for ways to keep warm for less. Luckily, Argos has claimed that its energy-saving blanket heats up within just five minutes and that it costs as little as 1p per night to run.
The cosy blanket is currently available in three different sizes including a single (£45), double (£55) and king size (£65), and is made from a warm and cosy microfleece fabric that is enriched with silver for a long lasting antibacterial action.
It also comes complete with single detachable controls, four different heat settings, a five minute heat-up time and an auto shut off function that makes it suitable for all night use. Not to mention that it comes complete with a nifty feature that monitors the bedroom temperature 25 times per second and adjusts the heat accordingly.
The nifty Dreamland Antibacterial Heated Underblanket has currently received glowing five-star reviews and a 93% recommendation rate from shoppers on the Argos website. Many reviews for the single sized blanket say that it keeps the bed so toasty that shoppers "no longer need central heating."
One five-star review read: "Bought this for our son who has now turned off the heating in his room!"
A second happy review read: "I love my electric blanket and after not having one since childhood, didn’t realise what I was missing. So much cosier getting into bed on cold nights and I don’t need the heating on in the bedroom. It warms the duvet and bottom sheet after 10 mins."
While a third raved: "I do not use room heating as the heated blanket is superb at heating the bed and really saves electricity and of course is so much cheaper."
A fourth glowing review read: "I've had this for over a week now and I find it so relaxing to lie on. I've thought it's like a Turkish, hot stone massage. :) It's very easy to operate and clearly runs through a safety check at each use."
A fifth added: "I bought this just before the snow, it is great for my guest who works late and now comes home to cosy bed without me having to leave the central heating on."
