I'd actually like to give a 4.5, as everything is really good apart from minor blemishes:
My experience is based on owning for 2 years, 2 of the more expensive throws = the herringbone.
They are excellent:
The 6 different heat settings and 3 auto shut of timer settings (1, 3, or 9 hours) work extremely well.
They can indeed be washed. I put them on the (gentle) wool setting in the washing machine. I have had no problems with this at all.
I live on my own for most of the time. These throws are so good that I don't have the heating on...(until I have visitors). Saves massively in heating bills!
The not so good ( = the blemishes):
My puppy chewed though the controller cable.
1) You cannot call Dreamland; you have to email them.
2) You cannot buy a spare cable, and they are also basically not available elsewhere.
So, I thought of buying a refurbished, cheaper model throw, just to get the cable.
The saving graces!
Dreamland was properly responsive to emails. They confirmed that the controller was same for the herringbone and the cheaper model. (But warned about potential safety issues with 2nd hand controllers etc)
SO.... On reflection, I think I'll buy a new herringbone throw as they currently on offer. I will then have a spare for as and when one of my throws fails.
Frankly, I love these throws. Thank you, Dreamland.
