Verified52 reviews
Poor quality – Didn’t even last a single day! worked for a few hours the first night then the next morning turned it on and it worked for an hour or so before going completely dead and will not switch back on! Show details
Awesome blanket – Wife and I used ours for ages. Left it off over summer. Switched it on during some cold nights but only had a "P0" on control unit display. Any explanation. Otherwise this is an awesome blanket!!! Show details
Wasted money – Turned on 2 hours before going to bed, did not heat up at all. What a total waste of money, I require the heat to assist with a chronic back problem, this was a bad choice

So far so good – Bought this few days ago while looking for decent price electric blankets found this on kogan, quick to ship and to the door. It heats up nice n even so I am satisfied with the product. Show details
Keeps us WARM at night! – We searched around for electric blankets and suddenly received an email from Kogan/Dick Smith advertising the Ovela electric blanket. We've bought items from Kogan/Dick Smith in the past and have always been satisfied with the product specifically the price (usually always cheaper than other suppliers). So we chose this one and have not look back since. Show details
Great value for money and does the job well – Works well, is as described and very good value for money. Have bought another one for our guest bed as so happy with product and price. Heats quickly and thoroughly. Love the dual switches, which are really easy to use. Show details

Crap! Wouldnt buy – I got the blanket gifted to me as I had my previous one for over 5 years and thought it probably was risky to not replace it. I chucked my last out and put the Kogan one on..... first night I feel like it worked. After that it just doesnt heat at all! So disappointed Spewing I threw out my other one! Show details

Don't buy it – Bought king size on June 2018, faulty just 4 months of used, Kogan replaced new one under warranty, failed again after this winter (4 months of operates). Totally waste of money and time. Show details

Don't buy it - 3 broken in less than 12 months – The two queen size blankets did not make it through the first winter. The king size made it one month into the second winter. The electricals failed on all of them, unable to turn on, and flashing lights on the controllers. Throwing all three out within 12 months, absolute crap, don't waste your money Show details

Poor quality junk – Bought a three pack of these for the kids. Two of them failed after about 12 months. Waste of money. I am very dubous about kogan products (failed remote controls on three previous home theatre products) and this confirms my concerns regarding quality control. Show details

Cheap junk – I purchased my Ovela electric blanket last August. It has only been in use since late autumn. Now it has failed just one month after the warranty elapsed. Although Kogan customer support disagree, I do not consider 13 months a reasonable period of time for a product like this to stop working. I have made multiple purchases from Kogan in recent years; I won't be making any more. Show details

Very good budget electric blanket – Our previous electric blanket only lasted 4 years, which is a tad short in my opinion. I went looking for a new one and nearly ended up spending well over $100 on a king size one before I stumbled on the reviews for this. Kogan is the store I love to hate, but I have to admit that this is one of the better things I've bought off them. It has… Read more
9 heat levels (no idea why, you'll never tell the difference between two adjacent heat settings - 3-5 settings are plenty imho), plus a boost setting which takes you up to heat level 9 for 30 minutes before dropping you back to the previous setting - very handy! It could only be improved if it was a bit quicker, and if it automatically went to boost every time you turn it on (why would you NOT want to boost a cold bed every time?).
The blanket is comfortable, we have it under a thin mattress protector and I haven't felt any wires yet. Auto off timer is handy also: defaults to 12 hours but you can change it to 1.5 or 3 hours (not 1, 3, 5 and 12 as Kogan's website claims).
If it were $89 I'd say it was about on par with other blankets in the price range, but when I discovered I could get it for $59 delivered, I was sold. Very happy.
Pros:
- Warm enough
- Boost mode
- Comfortable
- Easy to use, detachable controllers
- Machine washable
- Unbeatable price, free delivery
Cons:
- A little slow to warm up, even with the boost

Actually it was a wrap around personal blanket excellent ,also great for saving lots of electricty r – Not much more to say but the electric wrap around personal blanket is so great. So friends do buy one they are great. You will wish you had not thought of it before I am 86 this year so out it will come winter not far away. June 6th 2018 Update: My second blanket got one for the spare room excellent I just love the quick heating up of the… Read more
wrap around electric blanket, I got this one lucky me they were on special. Cheap to run help the electricity account.
This is saving my life over the winter – I have purchased a queen size, but using only one side to keep me warm Very comfortable and heat up quickly. Control panel has light and easy to see at night Worth for the price and great investment for winter time Definitely recommend it Show details
Worth for the price – Good blanket for the price. It has 9 heat settings but takes time to heat up. After it heats up the blanket is very comfy. I would suggest turning on the blanket at least 30 minutes before going to bed. Show details
Great value – Fits well,variety of heating options great value very happy with purchase has removable controls and can be machine washed no discomfort when on bed snug fit and doesn't come right up under your head. Show details
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect – This electric blanket is a life saver in the cold Tassie winter. Bought it online through Kogan, fast delivery and too easy to put on. The settings on this electric blanket range from 1 to 9. Also, there is a setting to speed up/boost the heating. I usually set it on level 3 - 5 and its toasty hot for those cold winter nights. Has 3 timer… Read more
settings( 3hrs, 6hrs, 12 hrs) included and it will switch off by itself. The only cons is that the position of cord for the fitted blanket is awkward. Otherwise, highly recommended.
A must have – This electric blanket saved me during the freezing winter nights this year. I never owned one before in my life and I can easily say it's one of the best buys I have ever bought. It has 9 heat settings! and a timer. Fitted to my bed well and washable ( which is a huge plus) Would highly recommend. Show details
Recommended – I bought one for my single bed in mancave . Perfectly explained. Very well working and also long lasting . Heats up nice and fast . Also multifunctional and washable. Confortable while sleeping not itchy . Show details
Don't know why I didn't buy one earlier – Just finishing up with my second winter using this blanket. It makes me wonder why I didn't purchase one earlier. I do agree with some of the other reviews. The cord connection is at about shoulder height (when laying down) on the upper surface of the bed. If you sleep close to the edge, this can be a little uncomfortable. The heating coils… Read more
themselves though you don't even notice, except for the nice warmth.
It has a 1-9 hour timer on it which is handy. I normally select boost before bed, then let it automatically drop back to it's lowest setting over night.
It's a great item – It's a great product, has all the appropriate functions that I require to heat the bed. It is a fitted type electric blanket which makes it easy to apply without the messy tangled tabs. It is also machine washable; therefore easy for refreshing - when the time comes for storage for next season. The auto switch off is a plus. Show details

Happy with it – I have had the blanket now for about 11 months and it has worked very well. The feel of the cord up near the pillow is a little annoying sometimes, but other than that, which can be fixed by adjusting the pillows, there is no real issue. I haven't had to remove the cords to wash the blanket, so can't really comment on that aspect. Can't really complain for a King size EB under $47! Fantastic value I say. Show details
Not too bad – I bought it for winter. It keeps us warm in winter. However, I don't like the cord, when we lay down, we can feel the cord. Anw, it's worth for its price. Show details
Easy to use – This blanket has some great features. The cords are removable so that it can be washed.. Also, there is a timer on this blanket so once you get into bed, you don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off or wake up in a sweat. Highly recommended! Show details
Love it! – It works as it should. Sits nice and firm on mattress. Has 3 timer settings & then switches itself off. You cannot feel the wires. Makes going to bed in winter easy. Show details
Worth a shot – For the price you pay for it on Kogan it is a wonderful product. I got this along with my king size 1000tc sheets and it works wonders. It does take a little while to heat up and its a shame that the timer settings don't go up in 1h interviels otherwise it is a great bargain. Show details
At last a blanket that hasn't failed! – I had 3 previous blankets become defective inside the first 3 months after purchase, and this was my final hope! Pleased to say it's still functioning well 6 months later, and is very warm. I love the bonus heat feature which warms the bed up very quickly, and the fact that the temperature selected stays held for about 12 hours. Found the size… Read more
of the blanket (double) a bit big for my double bed for some reason - perhaps it's meant to fit Queen sized mattresses as well, but it is a bit annoying when the wires get too near to the bed edges. I have to watch they don't go over the mattress sides and bend. Other than that, an okay blanket!
Love it – My partner and I bought two of these recently and I can't live without it in winter now. Our heater use has diminished since getting these. It's lovely to sleep on top of it underneath blankets in winter and, the heat helps to relieve muscle pain/tension. The only one flaw I could note about it is that it takes a while to heat up sometimes, though, when you put it on "boost", it does get faster. Show details
This is really amazing – This is great, it has 9 heat settings and sits around the bed perfectly! It doesn't over heat and the timer is great as it turns itself off meaning that there is no danger. Show details
It's a budget product that performs like a budget product – Firstly - it works. Neither poorly or perfectly. Positives: - It works and its warm enough (With a few catches) - Cheap - Fits deep mattresses fairly well - Arrived quickly Negatives: - Its a tad lumpy and the wiring is cumbersome - Electrical inserts are too far inside the blanket and are chunky! - Takes an age to warm up - You… Read more
have to run it on flat out to get any sort of heat into the bed
Admittedly having mentioned the above. I dont use it often (only for a cold partner) and it was cheap! Worth a look if budget conscious.
Finally - a good one!! – After experiencing great disappointment with Sunbeam brands, another electric blanket has been purchased for my elderly mother and, after a months use, all seems to be just perfect. She is able to easily read the controller screen/s and best of all the heating is top to toe. She is very pleased with this "Ovela" blanket and all its features -… Read more
albeit it's still just early days. The order process through Kogan.com was very, very easy (can thoroughly recommend this site) and delivery was super fast. So far, an overall really good shopping experience.
A very good electric blanket – This electric blanket is much better than the one it replaced. We bought the king size bed one. It has two separate controllers which are detachable if and when you don't need to use them. The controllers are easy to operate. The heat level and timer are easy and can be set up quickly. Highly recommended. Show details
convinced hot water bottle user now converted – Have never used one before, thought they r bad for health, now totally converted. Kogan Ovela has 9 settings & nightly I leave it on setting 3. Just perfect, not hot or cold, just normal spring temperature. Show details
Workedwell for a little while – It worked well for 6 weeks then the controller stopped working, so unable to use Show details
