Argos shoppers praise £55 'low energy' electric blanket as 'cosy solution' for winter nights

Argos shoppers have been praising a £55 electric blanket calling it ‘excellent value’ for cold winter nights.

According to the manufacturers, the ‘low energy consumption’ Silentnight blanket is said to cost ‘as little as 1p’ to pre-heat your bed for two hours on a low heat setting. The ‘Yours & Mine Dual Control Electric Blanket’ is designed so you can control the heat from both sides of the bed, having each side on whatever setting you prefer.

As seen on the product description on the Argos website, the Silentnight blanket is ‘ideal for compromising couples’ and ‘helps to keep both of you cosy and warm over the colder months’. The description continues: ‘The Electric Blanket is an energy efficient and affordable way to stay warm for less.’

Made from polyester, the blanket has ‘easy fit’ straps and you can buy it for £55 on the Argos website. Many people who have already bought the blanket have given it five star reviews.

One person said: “Followed Martin Lewis’s advice to heat the bed not the whole bedroom. This has been a lovely cosy solution.”

A second added: “Purchased this electric blanket a month ago, very good value for the money.” A third said: “My old blanket ‘died’ so I upgraded to dual control and WOW - I LOVE IT!!! We can both have desired temperature separately - considered an essential purchase and the elastic straps are great - winner all around.”

A third person said: “Bought this to replace an older one which had stopped working. It fits our bed snuggly and as yet has not moved about like the old one did. The dual controls are excellent feature. Get's hot enough on second heat setting after just 10 minutes. Great purchase.”

And the glowing reviews continued. One shopper said: “Didn’t realise how much we needed this, getting into a nicely warmed bed is brilliant!”

A second said: “Excellent product. Invaluable on a cold night. So enjoying being toasty. Particularly like the elasticated attachments instead of strings like my last electric blanket. Would recommend Silentnight to anyone.”

And a third said: “Excellent value! Just what you need on a cold winter night! Would recommend”. You can buy the Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Underblanket - Double here.
