Sunbeam Sleep Perfect

It has a beautiful luxury feel as in mattress topper quality. . I have had really good sleep all night as the temp control is excellent and just warm. I am really thrilled with this blanket as have only ever used the old plain Kmart ones ! This is totally different and perfect. It has been amazing balm for my restless legs at night and body aches.… Read more ·  1

Totally recommend. Some reviews say it has a life of 12-18 months and I am even happy with that as it has a warranty.

Awesome until it stops working – Had this blanket since May 2020 so just over 2 years. It’s comfy and heats up fast. Love the heat settings and timer on this product. We have had to do a reset on the controllers only once after flashing. All good. Now however - reset not working on one side of the bed so we are left with a product that no longer works as it should. We still have… Read more

original receipt from Harvey Norman and have contacted sunbeam via email to see what our options are as they promote a 36 month warranty on this particular product.

*Update* Stella from Sunbeam was quick to reply to my email regarding the 36 month replacement warranty. Provided a case number (which Harvey Norman didn’t need to validate) and I returned the blanket today for a full refund. Amazing service from both companies!

Absolutely woeful – Bought this about 6 months ago. Turn it on an hour or so before going to bed. Get into bed and it's stone cold. Have to turn it on and off several times to get it to work. When it does work, the heat on it isn't up to par. Cheaper, non-micro controlled blankets warm up much better without any complications. Temperature control is a load of rubbish… Read more

with the thing. I would return it, but I cannot find my purchase receipt. If you want to waste your money, then by all means buy one... You have been warned...

Sunbeam Satisfied – One side broke within 4mths, then other side broke! Then covid happened and my 88yr old mum Couldn't return it where purchased Now out of warranty tried to Return it to JB Hi Fi They would not honour it I just want to say Sunbeam have honoured their product and a refund was given to mum! Also mum did purchase a new electric blanket from Sunbeam Show details ·  1

A big thumbs-up to Sunbeam! – This product is well designed with good features and functionality. I have had good use of mine for almost 8 years, but then the controller failed. (Maybe a rare case. A premium-priced product should last for 20+ years.) I called Sunbeam customer service and they arranged to send me a replacement controller free of charge! A big thumbs-up to Sunbeam. Show details

Does what it says it will – I’ve only had this electric blanket for a short time but very happy already. It’s easy to fit on the bed and warms it up really well on a cold night. Show details

Very uncomfortable – Terrible!!! This 'blanket' has thick wires that are impossible to sleep on and no padding whatsoever. I expected better for the price. Save yourself some angst and buy a quilted model. Show details

Some features aren’t great – The feature for it turning off when you get warm is good in theory but sucks. I’m hot way before it turns off and even though it says it’s temperature sensing, it doesn’t turn back on so I wake up freezing, turn it back on, get hot within a few minutes and suffer with the heat while I try and get back to sleep. Good idea, doesn’t work great that’s the only downfall. Other than that it heats up quick, is very hot.

4 BLANKETS ALL WITH THE SAME FAULT – Bought 3 of these electric blankets and one stopped working (right side) just out of warranty. Thinking that since most of the reviews were good I figured I was just unlucky, stupid me! The 2nd blanket has stopped working just inside the warranty period, exact same fault, even same side. Lots of other reviewers have had exactly the same issue,… Read more

it's a disgrace that Sumbeam continues to sell these blankets with a known fault. I guess that's just how it is now with everything being CCR [Content Removed] UPDATE : Other 2 blankets faiked with the same faults, replaced with Breville which is a far better blanket

Electric blanket just stopped working for no reason. Not happy – Have always looked after this electric blanket. Worked well for four winters, always packed away after 4 months (only) use during the winter months. Never washed it, but well aired in the sunshine, always folded the blanket away, back the way it was packed with the same folds. Took very good care of it. Suddenly stopped working only on one side.… Read more

Not the control, but the blanket itself. It a large $ purchase and very disappointing to have to spend the $ to replace with another brand. Only just out of the warranty period and not able to be replaced.

Bad quality – So far we've gone through 3 of these blankets in the last year. They get warm very quickly but if you forget to turn it off within 12 hrs it WILL BREAK immediately. This is extremely frustrating especially in winter it's cold and we want to watch TV in bed a little earlier in the evening than usual. By the time we wake up the next day the light… Read more

is flashing because the blanket had been turned on for more than 12 hrs and that's it. It's broken we have to bring it back to get another one under warranty. EDIT: I will say that I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that this happens because of safety reasons but it's ridiculous that the product becomes faulty even on the FIRST time that you forget to turn it off. I've bought a new electric blanket from Woolworths And have been using it for about 3 months now. No problems at all and it was much cheaper than the Sunbeam one.

Absolute rubbish don’t waste your money – Im giving this 2 stars because when it did work it worked well. We bought this blanket June last year from Goodguys. 2 months later it stopped working. Got it replaced. Took it out for use this winter. Worked for 2 weeks and its stopped working again. Hit and miss quality product. Don’t waste your money. For the amount the blanket cost and its reliability you are better off going and buying some cheaper online alternatives.  Show details

Replacement of a faulty blanket – I am having a same issue as Sam’s comments. Still waiting for my replacement blanket. They offered me downgraded blanket, when I send my address they said that was out of stock. It’s extremely disappointing as I have mentioned that winter is in full swing and we need our blanket replaced. Thanks

Waiting 11 months for a replacement faulty blanket – 11 months and still waiting for a replacement I had the previous model of this electric blanket and had several of them- they all stopped working before the warranty period and I replaced them myself because they are so comfortable. And at the time I didn’t realize they had a 3 year warranty. The last one I had that failed, I made a warranty… Read more

claim, was approved and am still waiting for it- 11 months later.

Someone called [Name Removed] always replies and says that my electric blanket is not made now and the new model is out of stock but I can have the downgrade as a replacement if I want it. She has offered me this downgrade twice now. She also tells me that it will be another month or 2- every time I email. But when I email again to check the status - it’s still out of stock and I can still have the downgrade. I don’t like to feel the wires in an electric blanket which is why I chose the quilted queen. I was emailing monthly to make sure I received it then was happy to wait for stock, but it’s at a ridiculous point now and after this experience I will be looking for another brand. It’s been a very disappointing experience.

Very poor quality product – Bought this electric blanket from Appliances Direct for $154 in November 2014. Worked well initially but over the first three years we had one controller and then the other fail before the blanket itself also failed. All replaced under warranty but had to return the failed blanket with receipt to the selling retailer which was on the other side of… Read more

the city. Very inconvenient! Replacement controllers also both eventually failed but were not covered under warranty so had to buy further replacement units. Very poor quality product.

We bought 7! All stopped working very quick! – Hi all, if you are thinking of buying this electric blanket from Sunbeam, i am here to tell you do not! I bought one for myself, my Mum and my Sister and not even within 2 months time of us all using it, one side stopped working (the remote flashes and stops working)... and this is mine, my Mums and my Sisters - all 3 blankets! So i took them all… Read more

back to Myers and they replaced all 3 blankets for us - Which was very nice (Due to covid19 they extended their policy on returns) So we all got 3 new electric blankets. Well guess what?? All 3 stopped working once again on one side after not even 3 weeks of using them!!

Ridiculous if you ask me!!! Yet again, i returned all 3 to Myers, this time i got a refund on 2 them and silly me exchanged 1 and got a new one just for myself, because Mum and Sis didn't want this brand again.

Hahahaha well guess what? My new one stopped working last night on one side yet again!!! This is why I am writing this review!

7 electric blankets later....that's just ridiculous!!

What do you have to say about this Sunbeam? For an item to continuously stop working , you must obviously be doing something wrong!

Work well as described – Work well as described. Heated up fast with timer but the connector is too obvious when sleep on it, that makes sleeping not quite comfortable. Moreover, quite expensive compared to other brands.

Expensive blanket – Blanket worked perfectly fine so far but one side of the blanket has stopped working. Controllers are ok as I swapped them and they were working fine. So the fault is in the actual blanket. Unfortunately, warranty expired by just one week so unable to get replacement. Quite disappointed. I did call Sunbeam on 8/06/20 and sent email as well from pushpa.nand@hotmail.com. Pls check your records Show details

Expensive for what is a fairly standard sort of blanket – I have had poor luck with electric blankets over the past years. The last one was a fitted Jason brand which didn't even fit properly, prior to that was Goldair which had a failed controller within 4 months. So, I decided to bite the bullet and go for Sunbeam although it was 3 times the price of the Jason brand. The blanket does what it should -… Read more

it heats up the bed. That's about it. There's no bells or whistles, it won't make you breakfast in the morning or make the bed for you. Is the price justified? Not in my opinion but if it lasts a few winters then I'll consider it a worthwhile purchase.

Control stopped working – One controller stoped working. Only had the blanket for 14 days. Should have known better than to purchase as my parents have had the same trouble with there's and then the replacement one too. Show details

Doesn’t work like cheaper brands. Dials hard to read being red light even with my reading glasses – Very disappointed with this Sumbeam electric blanket, I never spend this much on a blanket as the ones I buy usually only last about two years before I throw out. I decided to buy myself a good brand this year and after reading up about how it heats your feet I was hooked, so when it arrived I couldn’t wait for the weather to change first time… Read more

felt cool in top half and warmer down towards the bottom anyway it still hasn’t improved wish I hadn’t bought now as 4 cheaper brands to just 1 of these. Also the dial is hard to read being red light that is so bright you can’t see the numbers for heating.

Toasty night sleep – Easy to put on bed as it is fitted takes no time to warm up, and nice and toasty when you get in. Good value for a quality electric blanket. Show details ·  1

An Excellent Electric Blanket – I have been kept fabulously warm during a very cold winter by my purchase of a Sunbeam Electric blanket. Its control hangs conveniently by my bed and has a blue light to make the control visible in a darkened room. Show reply

This is Blanket 5 in this series - I thought the fault had been fixed.. not so!! – After buying 4 of these Sleep Perfect blankets over the years and having every single one of them develop the same fault - one controller flashed and would not be set, so useless - I relented and bought another in April 2018 from Good Guys Mandurah WA. A couple of weeks ago - same fault - my husbands side of the bed would not heat, the light just… Read more

flashed indicating the controller was turning off. I did, as always have, perform the troubleshooting actions - checking that the blanket was connected to the controller properly, taking the plug from the wall and turning the point on and off and trying again - no go. Today I phoned the Customer Care number on the User Guide - and I got Jeffrey in the Philippines. Jeffrey has repeatedly asked for the receipt, my name, where I live, the fault, and for a photo of the controller - all of which I have supplied repeatedly. I note the User Guide states replacment guarantee for 3 years. Well, still waiting. Come on Jeffrey!!! It is winter here and we could do with a functioning blanket replacement NOW. So Sunbeam writing any reply stating "contract our service centre" thus far to me, has been absolutely useless.

Expensive blanket, poor quality controllers – One controller stopped working during the first winter, so have been using the other for 3 years. This one failed last week. I now find that I can replace one controller for $47.50 on ebay, but the 758 sold already from just one seller tells me not to waste my money. For the price of 2 controllers I can buy another blanket. This time I'll do some research. Meanwhile I'm using my Jason $25 blanket from Big W. Show details

Excellent in every way but only lasted 3 seasons – My partner and I have enjoyed our blanket for three seasons but now one sides handset is now longer working. It warms the bed in 10 mins saving on our power bill and even quicker - like one minute if you are in bed. There are no cold patches. The attachment to the bed is not in the way and it fits our bed well - even with a memory foam topping.… Read more

You can set it for 75min - which is all we usually need - as we are sufficiently warm. Of the 9 settings we only use number 7. There is an option to set for 12 hrs. An option I’ve only used once when I had the flu.

We will buy another given the poor reviews on the Breville option.

Blanket is good, Control is questionable – I purchaced the blanket in July 2014,In May 2015 one of the controllers ceased to operate, I spoke with Peter at Customer Care and a replacement was sent to me straight away. Yesterday one of the controllers ceased to function, whether it was the original or the replacement I do not know. There was no flashing light just stopped functioning. The… Read more

first fault in 2015 was most likely a loose contact in the timer as it would work if turned upside down. The blanket is now well out of warranty and a new controller is in the vicinity of $65, so what is the choice, a new controller for a five year old blanket or a new blanket? if the latter what brand.

Warranty – I was told that my King fitted electric blanket BL5174 by Sunbeam Customer Service was out of warranty (response no.00694568).I used for the first time in 2018 and now the element was faulty. I am very disappointed with the product and felt that it was unfair for me. It was supplied to the shop in 2015 but it was sold to me in 2017. As I do not have my receipt I can’t get replacement for that reason. Show details

Absolute Rubbish – Would give 0 if I could. Have now purchased 2 of these blankets and both stopped working due to faulty controllers. Controls just flash and don't turn on, happened on both sides of the bed and one of them didnt even make it halfway through first winter of use!! This is an extremely common problem with these products which the manufacturer has clearly not tried to improve. Save your money - these are rubbish. Show details

Not Happy – I bought two electric blankets and both of the switches on both blankets are gone dead. I don’t know how to fix the problem. What does that say for the safety Show details

Worked perfectly for 2 years – Have never had any issues with this for just over 2 years but now it is dead on both sides, no lights no nothing and David Jones says “out of warranty” which is a shame I mean I don’t know many people who use it in summer so it could have broken months ago! I’d expect much better warranty for a higher end product like this! Show details

Good warranty period – First bought this electric blanket in 2017 and it worked a treat. Went to turn it on in winter of 2018 and it didn't work. Customer service at Sunbeam was fantastic and blanket was replaced at Harvey Norman where it was purchased. There is a three year warranty on these electric blankets and you can get the remote and/or blanket replaced if there are any issues. Show details ·  1
