People have been sharing reviews of the handy gadget on Facebook for years.

You can always call your nearest store before heading out to see if they've got the blankets in stock and avoid a wasted journey.
Remember, it's always worth shopping around when looking to buy any product.
Before you head into the store to grab one of these make sure you check to see if you can get one for free first.
Some energy companies are giving away electric blankets for free the year to customers who need them most.
Reach out to your energy supplier to see if you are eligible.
Keeping warm this winter
There are a few other things you can do to keep warm this winter without breaking the bank.
Get yourself a hot water bottle, they are always great for a cost-free way of keeping warm.
Don't forget about preventative measures, draught-proof your home and seal your windows to stop air coming in.
Prices for draught excluders start from a fiver in most stores but a thick blanket rolled up will work just as well.
Loft insulation is also very important as it can stop heat escaping, therefore slashing your heating bill.
You can buy insulation from all local builder merchants or retailers such as B&Q and Wickes.
