Overall score includes:

Heat-up (70%): Shows how quickly the blankets reached their peak temperature on their highest heat setting.

Ease of use (30%): Assessed on the user-friendliness of the controls.

Running costs are calculated from the energy consumption of the blanket during warmup, then running it for 8 hours per night over the 3 months of winter on its “All-night” setting. If there is no “All-night” setting then only the warmup consumption is taken into account.
