As winter temperatures plunge, finding an affordable way to stay warm indoors is a top priority for many. A major sale at Debenhams offers a tempting solution: a luxurious heated throw has seen its price dramatically reduced, providing cosy comfort for a fraction of the usual cost.
A Dramatic Price Drop for Winter Warmth
The Neo Waffle Shaped Heated Throw, originally priced at £109.99, is now available for just £34.99 at Debenhams. This represents a saving of £75 on the stylish mid-grey blanket. For those seeking an alternative retailer, the same product is listed at £64.99 at Robert Dyas. The throw is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring a dual-sided construction with soft flannel on one side and fluffy sherpa on the other.
Features, Safety, and Running Costs
This electric blanket is packed with user-friendly features. It boasts nine different temperature settings, allowing users to find their perfect level of warmth. Safety is also a key consideration, as the product includes an auto shut-off timer and offers nine timer settings to prevent it from being left on accidentally. A significant selling point is its economical operation; calculations suggest it costs a mere 4p per hour to run, making it a cost-effective alternative to cranking up the central heating. Practicality is assured, as it is fully machine washable—simply remove the digital controller with its clear LED display before cleaning.
Customer Reviews: Mostly Cosy, With Some Caveats
The product holds a 4.2-star rating from 85 reviews on Debenhams' website, with many customers expressing delight. One shopper, who purchased the blanket a year ago, praised its rapid heat-up time, stating: "It’s so cosy, it’s warm within a couple of minutes and on the highest setting you are nodding off within five minutes. No heating on in the house." Another reviewer highlighted its value and quality, calling it "much better than the more expensive one I bought my mum last year" and noting its generous size.
However, the feedback is not universally positive. A small number of customers reported issues with durability, with one stating their blanket "only worked for two weeks." This suggests that while many find it an excellent bargain, product longevity may vary.
Alternative Heated Throw Options
Shoppers have other choices in the market for heated warmth. The Dreamland Intelliheat Warming Throw, priced at £46.69 at Boots, features automatic heat regulation and six temperature settings. For those on a tighter budget, the Mia&Coco Electric Heated Blanket is available on Amazon for £36.79, coming in seven colours and including a timer function.
With energy prices remaining a concern, the Debenhams heated throw deal presents a compelling option for staying warm this winter without significantly impacting household bills. The combination of a deep discount, low running costs, and positive user experiences makes it a standout offer for anyone looking to add an extra layer of comfort during the colder months.
