stuck for somethings to buy mrs ex-p for christmas, and as the house is freezing i thought this might be a good option.
there seem to be a plethora of similar items littered all over the internet, so has anyone here got any recommendations?
ideally one with a battery that could be charged at work and then brought home to heat throughout the evening while shes snuggled up reading or watching tv, dont know if they do that? if not, just something lovely and warm.....
in addition to that, recommendations for heated socks too maybe?
thanks
Link, 'cus don't know what you are on about
Well they look like a bit of waste of time.
The 1st one on the link is 5v at 2 amps = 10 watts. Hardly any heat at all.
Good news it would only cost a couple of pence to run each night.
You would be better off with something like this. Heated throw
I think they run at about 100 - 150w, cost more to run but will produce some meaningful heat.
I’ve got one of these. It’s pretty damn snuggly.
A quick google shows that it has maximum 150w, so I guess it will be rather warm.
Just ordered one of these Cosi Home Heated Fleece
A quick google shows that it has maximum 150w, so I guess it will be rather warm
It's got 6 heat settings but it defaults to 6 when switched on which can be a bit much unless you're just after a quick burst of warmth. I typically have it on 3 and there's a timer with 1, 2 and 3 hours selectable. More sensibly, that setting defaults to one hour.
We have a heated throw from Lakeland as my wife has circulation problems. It’s got several heat settings and a timer, and, the best thing is that it’s big enough for two, and two dogs! We’ve had it about a year and been totally reliable. I think it’s expensive but you don’t want to wrap yourself in something electrical that isn’t!!
I've not put the heating on yet but sat on the sofa under two pretty thin type fleece throws I'm fine, I think i'd be too hot under anything heated - realise everyones different body temp wise, was just thinking a nice good quality thick throw would do the job instead.
I'd really like a Melin Tregwynt one but it's about a full months heatings worth!
ideally one with a battery that could be charged at work and then brought home to heat throughout the evening
The cost of a the battery will be more than the electric used on an electric blanket / throw / hoody. They are so efficient., better to get a plug in one.
After seeing this thread I have just ordered a Dreamland herringbone heated throw from Lakeland . 2 reasons I chose that one if anyone is interested. It got a best buy at Which reviews and has 3 yr warranty including the ability to return at any time within that period if faulty or just dissatisfied for any reason ( remarkable )
Lots of stuff like this does go wrong and if bought through Amazon it seems after service once a few months has passed is often rather lacking or simply very arduous and sellers often ignore such requests anyhow.
