Heated Throw 'Ultimate Weapon Against British Winter' at £32.99

The Proaller Heated Blanket Electric Throw is now available for £32.99 at Amazon, reduced from £35.99, offering shoppers a way to stay warm without heating the whole house.

The reversible electric heated throw features two textures: soft flannel on one side and fluffy sherpa-style fleece on the other. Measuring 160cm by 130cm, it is designed to cover two adults, making it suitable for sharing on the sofa or as an extra layer on the bed.

Features and Safety

The blanket offers 10 adjustable heat settings, allowing users to choose their preferred temperature. A programmable timer can be set for between one and nine hours, with an automatic shut-off function. The throw also includes overheat and overcurrent protection, which cuts off power if the temperature exceeds its safety limit.

The manufacturer claims the blanket costs as little as 3p per hour to run, though actual cost depends on electricity tariff, power consumption, and heat setting used. The controller and cable can be detached, allowing the blanket to be machine-washed at 40C.

The Proaller Heated Blanket Electric Throw has a 4.3 out of five-star rating from more than 3,000 Amazon reviews. One reviewer said: "I absolutely love this heated throw and genuinely wouldn't want to be without it during the winter months. It's incredibly soft and fluffy, even before you turn the heat on, but once it's switched on it makes getting cosy on a cold evening even better."

Another added: "The ultimate weapon against the British winter. Buying this is basically conceding defeat to the winter heating bills, and it is the best decision I've made all year." A third wrote: "Does the job, extremely comfortable. As someone that is always cold, I wish I had bought this earlier."

Some reviewers noted drawbacks, including one who said the blanket "seems to have gotten cooler within the week I got it" and another who found the clips for detaching the electrics "really hard to operate."
