If you buy your blanket from a reputable UK retailer, as we did for our tests, then it should be safe.

Advanced Safety Features: Each throw is tested to meet the highest safety and quality settings. With both overheat and overcurrent protection, you can buy with complete peace of mindI found level five to be warm enough, but the heat was concentrated in the middle and didn’t really spread across the entire blanket. These GlamHaus electric blanket throws have been designed with your safety in mind. They have overheat protection and overcurrent protection so that you can use your throw with complete peace of mind, year after year

This blanket would be ideal for an older person, such as my 86-year-old dad, as it’s not heavy to lift or when it’s lying on your legs, you don’t need a degree in engineering to operate it and it has a large, clean LCD display. Heat without the faff. Whether you’re searching for an electric blanket for yourself, our single electric blankets are ideal.

I found level one more than warm enough and I was impressed at the heat generated. I wore the throw while working at the computer and I noticed it slipped off my shoulders often, however, I suspect most people will wear this while relaxing watching TV or reading, so I don’t think that will be an issue generally. Glamhaus blankets are made to meet the highest safety standards in the world. Each one comes with overheating and overcurrent protection, so you can buy with complete peace of mind. Machine Washable There are nine heat levels, including preheat: L, 1 – 7, and H (preheat). There’s also a timer that you can adjust for one to nine hours before the throw automatically switches itself off.

All in all, this is great, really warm and snug; however, the cable connection is at the top of the throw, on the left side, which creates a drag on your shoulder so is rather heavy. I wonder why it wasn’t positioned at the bottom of the throw so you don’t have to carry the weight. It may be to do with better heat distribution, but it is a bit of a pain. The control is easy to operate – it has an on/off button, clear LCD display, a temperature control and a time control, both with plus and minus buttons to increase and decrease. There are nine heat levels and nine time settings (1 – 9 hours). The heat automatically shuts off after the stipulated time period. The handset has a very clear display – nothing but the heat level – and there are only two buttons: an on/off switch and a button to scroll through the heat settings from 1 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest). I found level five perfectly warm enough.Find the perfect temperature setting that’s perfect for you thanks to the 9 temperature settings available. Just take the edge off on milder nights with a lower setting or really warm yourself as the temperature plummets with a higher setting – the choice is yours!

How To Return A Product Set the timer for one, three or a maximum of nine hours and it automatically switches off when the time’s up. The controller can also be fully detached to allow for machine washing, so you can keep your blanket feeling fresh and clean. We recommend washing at 30 degrees. Durability After testing, each electric blanket and heated throw is washed and dried five times to simulate wear and tear. We then conduct a full electrical safety test on each one. None showed significant wear and tear, and all passed the test.
