Discount supermarket chain Lidl is adding a Silentnight Double Electric Blanket to its middle aisle next Thursday (October 22), priced at £19.99. The product is described by the supermarket as a way to "stay warm and cosy at night with this winter warmer electric blanket from Silentnight."
Features and Running Costs
The blanket operates at an estimated running cost of just 1p per hour, offering an inexpensive alternative to central heating. It includes innovative pinsonic channels to keep wires in place, ensuring even heat distribution, plus easy-fit elasticated straps, a single control, and a machine-washable design with a detachable cable. It measures 190 x 135cm and comes with a three-year warranty.
The electric blanket features three adjustable heat settings and an 'ultra-fast' heat-up function. It also has a built-in automatic shut-off safety feature for extended overnight use.
Comparison and Customer Feedback
The same blanket is available at Boots for £35, meaning customers can save £15 by purchasing it at Lidl. The Boots product description notes the blanket is "crafted from wonderfully soft microfleece, adding an extra layer of comfort to your mattress."
On the Boots website, the blanket holds an average customer rating of 4.1 stars out of five. One reviewer wrote: "I look forward to getting in a toasty warm bed at night! Enjoying the warmth." Another said: "Never had an electric blanket before, but won't do another winter without one." A third commented: "A first-class product. Just the thing for a cold winter's night." However, one customer claimed: "I returned electric blankets controls were very stiff I couldn't slide them."
