For any person who has owned this blacket for some time, do you notice any issue with pilling/shedding (like many other electric blankets do )?

I've seen no shedding or pulling and I've owned a few for about 3 years now.

I have not noticed any pilling/shedding thus far. We've had it over 2 mos. only.

I have had no problems with any piling and shedding as of yet. We have used the blanket for about 2 months now. I have a sheet between us and the blanket and a light blanket on top. I do not regret buying it at this time.

We've had it 6 months and it's been fantastic and still looks great. However, I believe it's only been through the wash once since we use a sheet between us and the blanket.

No, it looks great after 2 months (more or less) on my bed. I haven't washed it yet but 5 cats love to play and paw it and it looks great. A real quality blanket.

absolutely not. My sunbeam's all did, this has shown no sign of anything like that. It is just as soft and smooth as the day we put it on the bed. Hope this helps.

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

To be honest I bought mine for emergencies so I have not used it yet. However, it did seem to be itchy. I think most wool is unless you are buying cashmere. I could be mistaken. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend buying this blanket regardless as they do not make them of this quality anymore.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

We have not had any problem with ours. We bought it for our daughter and she is messy. We have had it for months and wash it once a week...it stays nice. Does not rip or ball up.

I wash them every week along with the sheets and it's been several years, no pilling, no wear, no fraying of any kind. This blanket holds up extremely well.

first shipment had defective control unit but was replaced by manufacturer without question. since then, no problems. so long as you understand that this blanket will not provide the scorching heat of an ac only electric blanket, well worth the price imho.

Mine does shed some. Its not as bad as others said, so they may have addressed it somewhat.

I bought this last fall and have used it every night since. It works very well still and I am still happy with the choice. I haven't had to wash it yet because I place a sheet and thin blanket underneath. I am sorry for your experience and wish you well with the return. We had a similar experience with Edenpure heaters: we run two thar we would never be without but in the midst of that had one that ran our utility bill up to $300 and tripped a circuit breaker. Maybe you just got a bad one. My UPS driver suggests the possibilty of electronics being damaged by improper handling during shipping. I bought this last fall and have used it every night since.

I've had mine for over 3 years, many many washings, and not one pill. I do get dryer lint, but it doesn't seem to affect the wonderful quality. Maybe they are a bit thinner; I'm going to order another set and compare!

I know it is thicker of most that I have seen. moving it around it doesn't seem to crinkle. I love it ,it is one of my favorite blankets for the winter time. I hope this helps.

No, mine has never shed. And I have used it almost daily during the winter.

I've had my Earthing products for 3 years now with no problems. I wash the sheet with Tide -- it didn't occur to me to use anything else. I don't overload the washing machine because I don't want any pulling on the sheet's "wiring."

I have had mine professionally washed. It did not pull or shed. Perhaps that is due to the larger washer capacity.

It looses fiber, sheds a great deal. I asked for a refund. I don't know what others found, but it was excessive. They refunded my money, but never wanted the blanket back. I still have it, and just checked again. It sheds.

IMO you don't. Washing will substantially reduce or end the service life of any electric blanket. But, if you must, I'd say spot wash only by hand. The label says delicate cycle in the washer is ok and line dry. Well maybe, but when I've tried that with other electric blankets they ceased to function. I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi Diana, I don't recall any problems with shedding with the 3 we own. I would suggest keeping them for the 30 day money back period and evaluate then. Ours were purchased many years ago and are still like new. I have never had any complains about the quality as other reviewers of most recent time seem to have reported. I wonder if the quality has decreased? One thing to know thought is that the ones we have are the Snuggfleece Original, not the more economy version.

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.
