The directions state that it will NOT feel hot to the touch - it warms the bed and you have to get in the bed to appreciate the heat. I LOVE this blanket, as it does not overheat, I never become uncomfortably hot and the softness is lovely.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

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.

Did you try turning it up on the dial? I don't know, mine gets really really hot on like 5. Maybe yours is broken?

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

Depends on which part of the country you live in. Mine is fluffy and warm, but if you live in cold climates you might need another blanket

Mine seems to keep warm forever. After the whole 24 hours it didn't shut off. Maybe this is defective?? (though I am happy it does not shut off.)

Mine does get hot..not really hot hot. It sounds like yours might be defective..perhaps you'll have to return it.

It doesn't seem to get warm at all, but it does work. If there is snow/ice on it when you turn it on, it takes quite a while to melt it. But once it's clear it stays that way, even in a heavy snow.

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

When mine hits the temp I've set it at it has no warmth to it at all, but when heating up, it does have a noticeable warmth.

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

Attach Plugs to the blanket into the back of the box, plug in box to outlet. You have to push power button, the set each temperature, there is a set button by each temp push that after u set temp. Then push start. The temperature shown should gradually go up by each one until its desired temp. Hope that helps!

Sorry for taking so long to answer this, but I really don't know. I don't know of any blanket that will keep you warm in 15 degrees, but this will do nicely for temperatures a bit warmer than that - 35 degrees?

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.

1. Is it plugged in to a functioning outlet? 2. Is it turned on (light on after pushing top left button on control)? 3) Have you selected a temperature (bottom right button on control)? If the answer to all three is positive, your blanket may be defective (mine works when all answers are affirmative)/

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine.Morrison

It doesn't get way hot but gets nice and warm. I turn mine on an hour before bed. My sheets are warm and the blankets on top of the sheets are also warm. I have back issues and I have found it to be therapeutic.

There are controls. One for each side of the blanket. Heat settings go from 1 to 20. There is also a preheat button.
