Shopper Reviews and Reactions
Many buyers have shared enthusiastic feedback, particularly highlighting its benefits for working from home or relaxing on the sofa. One satisfied customer explained, "I work from home a lot and I’m always cold, so I decided to try this heated blanket and I’m so glad I did." They praised its energy efficiency, noting it uses only 100 watts, making it a cost-effective solution during the current cost of living increases.
Another reviewer raved about the throw's comfort, stating, "This blanket is an absolute game-changer for chilly evenings. The teddy fleece is incredibly soft and cosy — it feels like being wrapped in a cloud." They also valued the automatic shut-off feature for safety.

Even feline family members seem to approve, with one customer noting their cat purred its approval after joining them under the warm throw. While most reviews are glowing, one customer did mention they wished the blanket provided more warmth for a particularly cold house.
