Rejuvopedic Electric Heated Blanket Throw Fleece Sherpa EXTRA LONG 180cms Review

This electric throw targets the 'zone heating' market, allowing users to stay warm without heating unoccupied rooms. At 180cm in length, it is significantly longer than standard 160cm throws, making it ideal for taller users or for full-body coverage on a sofa. It features a reversible design with soft fleece on one side and a Sherpa-style lining on the other, operated by a simple wired remote with 6 adjustable heat levels and an integrated safety timer.

In use, the 6 heat settings provide a good range from a gentle background warmth to a more intense heat for very cold evenings. The Sherpa lining is effective at retaining heat even when the power is switched off. However, users should be aware that like most budget heated blankets, the internal wiring can be felt through the fabric, and the controller lacks the refined premium feel of more expensive competitors.

Based on current UK energy price caps, running this blanket at a typical 60W-100W output costs roughly 2p to 3p per hour. If used as a substitute for raising a central heating thermostat by 1°C (which can add 10% to a gas bill), a household could realistically save £50-£100 over a winter season. Savings are only achieved if the primary heating system is turned down while the blanket is in use.

No installation required; simply plug into a standard UK 3-pin socket. The controller is detachable to allow for machine washing, though we recommend a gentle cycle to protect the internal elements.

Extremely low, typically costing less than 5p for an entire evening of use, compared to several pounds for gas-fired central heating covering an entire home.
