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.

We have owned two of these blankets and love them. They keep you warm with the lowest settings and seem to last forever. We finally replaced the first one we bought after four years of regular use. We have a queen-sized bed that bends into a lounge chair. I am sure our blanket got more wear and tear than one on a regular mattress.

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

I own 3 of them , in past 10 years only 1 was sent back on warranty, free full replacement. They are awesome and sooooo much better than those junky sunbeam and other ones. It pays for itself ...

I've only had my blanket since October, but so far, I love it! No problems at all.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I've had mine for about 8 years, and that was a replacement for a warranty issue for the one I had years prior. The trick is this!!! First, put it above your flat sheet so you don't soil it from your body... means rare need for washing. Second, place a duvet ABOVE it, then your blanket if you use one as well. I've been doing this, and it gets HOT! Keeps the heat down. I preheat the bed in advance when I remember, and another trick is when I turn it on to preheat, I spread my pillows over the top of the duvet where I sleep, or want extra heat (feet)... big bonus.

Mine is king size, so there are two controls, one for each side. You might need to fiddle with which one goes where because I found the directions a little confusing, not much because I managed to attach the cords in the right place and once I pushed the "on/off" button, I adjusted the temperature (1-19 and H for high) and felt which side was affected (I had it backwards at first), and then I discovered the rest of the settings, including whether you want "Auto Off" or "Stay On". Auto Off turns it off after your specified number of hours up to 10 hours. I set it for Stay On. I turn the blanket on while getting ready for bed and it's warm as toast when I climb into bed. When I get up in the morning I turn it off, no rocket science needed. It will take a few nights to find your ideal setting. I have no central heating and use "14" as the ideal setting so I neither sweat nor get chilled. Keep other blankets handy in case your power goes out. Those two tear drop areas under the labelled buttons are - + for changing your setting, e.g. if it's really cold, I might raise the 14 temperature setting by pushing the + teardrop button. You'll end with kids and dogs piled in with you because this is true comfort.

To be honest, I don't know. I do know that it keeps me very warm. I live in the north and it has been a bitter cold winter, but I am as they say snug as a bug in a rug in this blanket. Very soft and comforting. I would highly recommend this blanket.

Hi, i have purchased the same table warmer back in August and it still working. Manual says safety feature that will prevent heating in an unsafe condition and will read "F" when in that mode. Turn control off and check the engagement of the cord to the pad. If "F" still appears when you turn it back on then a failure has occurred and the pad should not be used.

It actually warms up quickly. I think you might want to the instructions. It took me awhile to do the settings properly. Mine works great. I wouldn't trade it for an electric blanket ever. If it is a defective unit, I would exchange it.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!

All modern elect. blankets, by law, have automatic shut-off. I believe it's after 10 hours. And I don't think it was programmable, just the default 10 hours.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

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 has a five year manufacture's warranty. I bought it in December 2014 and have all of the receipts to pass onto you if you purchase this product. If you wish to view the formal warranty form (in a pdf version) please search for the word "warranty" on the following amazon website...: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Fleece-Low-Voltage-Electric-Blanket-Natural/dp/B001L1R3SO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428014708&sr=8-1&keywords=Soft+Heat+Luxury+Micro-Fleece+Low-Voltage+Electric+Heated+Queen+Size+Blanket Please feel free to contact me with any other questions. I almost don't want to let this go but am loving my King sized blanket at the moment.

I have owned 2 of these blankets and they both have stopped working after just a couple of times of usage! Don't bother with the purchase waste of money!

Randy I have used mine around 10 times. I've washed it about the same amount of time and it still keeps me warm and it hasn't fallen apart.

Yes, I have it between 2 blankets and it has held up well over the year. It did come with some loose threads but I just trimmed them back and I have not had any other issues with the blanket.

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

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.

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this
