'It's very cheap to use'

Shoppers are praising this cheap and effective way to stay warm during the winter months that's become a bestseller on Amazon.

As temperatures drop across the country many of us will be tempted to turn up the central heating at home.

But with energy costs continuing to soar, you might be looking for other ways to keep warm without hiking your bills.

This heated blanket has been described as 'totally worth the money' by shoppers as it costs just pennies to run.

A 50-watt heated blanket, operated for eight hours, will cost just 10 cents daily, amounting to €3.15 monthly, as reported by the Mirror.

This Keplin heated blanket has also been given a Black Friday discount on Amazon, slashing the price by 15%.

Usually priced at €39.71 you can bag the popular blanket for €33.75, and stay warm during winter.

The deal is available on colours including navy, cream, green, lilac and an earthy neutral colour, but you can get it in pink, grey and black at its usual price.

It's a double-sided heated blanket with cozy flannel on one side and plush sherpa on the other.

It's extra large to cover your whole body, and has nine different heating options, with a maximum temperature of 55 degrees celsius, as well as a timer so it will shut off automatically.

Shoppers who have tried and tested the Keplin heated blanket have given it an average rating of 4.3 stars on Amazon.

It's quickly become the number one bestseller in Amazon's home section, with one customer writing: "Really warm and great running costs when checked with energy meter. I really like the fact it's extra large compared to others I looked at. Lovely & soft and easy to use heat & timer functions with clear LED display."

Another said: "Prepare to fall asleep as it's super cosy, really warm and a huge blanket! Nice bright grey so will compliment any room colour. For the money it's totally worth it offering great value."

While a third wrote: "Brilliant. I feel cold all the time but this heated throw is great. It really keeps me cosy without ramping the central heating up to high. Another bonus is that it's very cheap to use."
