Hi. How long have you had this blanket? Is it still working? Pros &amp; cons please. I have seen several reviews that it only lasted days or a few weeks. It is too expensive to be disposable. Thank you

Bought and put into use in October 2013. So far really good. We love the feel and it heats up quickly. We have had many Sunbeam blankets over the years and each last about a year before becoming totally useless and put out little or no heat. This is the best one we have had to date. I thought maybe if I spent a little more it might be better. Also besides the electric blanket part it is a very nice blanket. Can't even feel the wires in the thing and they claim it is washable although we are leery about that. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I bought mine in November of 2013, and used it nightly right up to April. I put it back on this year in late September and have used it every night since. I have never had any issues, and it's been washed in the machine twice so far. I can honestly say this is the best bedding related purchase I have ever made. Living in the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY, we have some seriously cold nights, and this thing has been a Godsend!

90 days , I think ? The best I can remember. But it is a very good blanket. Hope this helps?

I did not find that it lasted that long. From what I remember, I think that it lasted about a week at three meals a day, maybe a little less. That was cooking somewhat involved meals as well as boiling water for hot drinks. It's much nicer than having those small disposable ones.

It seems like a lot of money to spend to use as a tarp. I do not think it would survive if used that way. It works great as a blanket at outdoor events when it is raining, but those events are usually only a few hours long. It is more of a blanket, which happens to be waterproof, than a tarp. Just my opinion.

I agree, the cord is a problem. I use my blanket daily. You need to remember that it is a "throw" not a full size blanket. Get it in position, turn to most comfortable setting and you are good to go for at least 4 hours. The benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

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.

Well I have had 2 of them the first one only last about 6 months the sun and cold destroyed it, the one I have now has lasted longer, I will not buy another, my suggestion buy a regular cloth tarp not the plastic ones the the ones you can treat and they will last

That problem hasn't occurred yet. I am stuck with this blanket for the rest of the winter and have nothing good to say about it. It isn't something you can't cuddle with as it's stiff, material resembles felt and and tends to tear. If my cats walk on it it tearsNo auto shut off. Irregular heating on chosen temp. I hate it!! I will be sure to check reviews more carefully.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I've had the flu. This blanket is made of 90 % Acrylic and 10 % Polyester Fibers. It was made in Mexico. Wash in cold water, I put it in our dryer on the lowest heat, air dry setting and it's fine. Here is a website that maybe helpful. www ramatexinternalional.com. It is very warm but does "shed" leaving some fuzzies on black clothing. This would work well on a twin bed. We use it over the back of our couch. It is too small for a full-size or larger bed. Hope this helps you out!!!!

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it. The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

I trow away all paper that came together with that blanket . Only thing I remember that this company in CA. I'll look for the name of the company and I'll let you know. One more thing about that duvet it is nice , but the wool indide shifts from edges to the center after a while use.

Hi Chihung, It's a good product, but, I don't think I would, myself, use it outdoors. First, I think water would be likely to get inside through all the small thread-stitching holes. My guess is getting a lot of water trapped inside would be undesirable. Second, I don't know if the vinyl and thread is rated to withstand prolonged exposure to UV light. The sunlight might degrade the materials causing the blanket to fall apart. At the very least, you should check with the manufacturer to see if the materials they used are suitable for that.

It says not to do that in the manual... but I do. Have had mine for several years and so far no problem. Just have to adjust the temp setting down a bit so as not to burn yourself. I never expect more then several years out of a blanket because of how hard I use it.

Hi Kathleen, I just replied that I didn't know about a warranty for our blanket. I did a quick search about the blanket and found one review that had the following text - "The product is backed by a five-year warranty, and several users report the customer service department was at least friendly, though perhaps not always helpful." Digging a little further found this note - "5 year guarantee from the manufacturer, Perfect Fit Industries (since 1932)."Finally, here is the contact information regarding the manufacturer:Perfect Fit 8501 Tower Point Dr.Charlotte, NC 28227 800-864-7618 custserv@pfisleep.comBest of luck resolving your problem.

I called the company and they don't make them anymore. I suggest that maybe you could find someone to make one, or as I am doing, just putting a small blanket on it so it can be washed easily.
