Recommended View more details.

We recommend electric blankets with a score of 85% and above.

CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score comprises ease of use (40%), durability (20%) and the performance of an electric blanket's heat up time (40%).

Performance score View more details.

We measure how long it takes the blanket to pre-heat to its maximum temperature. The shorter the time, the better the score. We also collect general data, measure energy use, check for correct labelling, and take thermal images to see how well the blankets distribute heat. We then run the blankets through our electric blanket rig, which simulates 2000 turns of the blanket, and examine them for breakages in the wiring. They are also moistened and have 3000 volts passed through them to test for moisture resistance.

Ease of use score View more details.

We assess whether the control's connector may cause discomfort when lying on the blanket, ease of using controls, ease of fitting the blanket to the bed, how easy it is to clean and whether the blanket can be washed and dried in a dryer.

Durability score View more details.

We put the controllers and cabling through two durability tests. Passing both tests earns a perfect 100, passing one earns 50 and failing both earns a zero.

Energy consumption per winter (kWh) View more details.

Kilowatt hours, based on a 92-day period for winter.

Temperature at all night (lowest) use level (°C) View more details.

The temperature recorded is that of the blanket's heating element. The temperature of the material, say, on the corner of the blanket, could be lower. We don't recommend sleeping with the blanket on all night.

$180
Running cost per winter View more details.

This is calculated based on a 92-day period for winter. We include the manufacturer recommended pre-heat period (if there isn't one, we pre-heat for 60 mins), then set the blanket to its lowest setting for eight hours. We calculate the energy result by 40c/kWh. As some heat fluctuations may occur, this is the maximum cost.

Some blankets aren't recommended for night use, so running cost is calculated on the recommended maximum usage scenario, which is why these are significantly lower than other blankets on test.
