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.

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.

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)/

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.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

Love this cute blanket and so does my Havanese dog. She sleeps on it every night. I have washed and dried it once and it came out like new! Lucy sheds very little and the small amount of hair on the blanket came out. Hope that helps.

I put it on a guest bed and they say it works in cold or warm temps.The best is the Sheraton comforter blanket.

Yes I have. It it is heavy but my washer has never broke. I've also have but my blanket in the dryer for 20 mins and rotate the blanket put in for another 20 mins. Pull it out and air dry the blanket the rest of way.

Waged one once became a dog blanket after that. I wait till drycleanerhas special I would get a fleecy blanket for kids. These blankets are not cheap nor cheap to upkeep. D

I purchased the blanket 6 months ago and used it since and not washed it yet. There is a chemical smell when you first open the package but it disappears in about 2 days if you just air-out the blanket. I have sheets below the blanket and a comforter over the blanket, so it doesn't get dirty. I've found that these type of blankets last longest if you don't wash them too often. I wash mine 2x a year but I don't have kids, dogs, no smoking, no eating in bed, etc., so things stay pretty clean. Hope that helps!

when it works, does fine job. but, out of nowhere, the thermo switch will cut off and blanket gets cold. only way to fix it, unplug & replug it from wall and start back over. not a dependable blanket and i would not recommend this product.

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.

Nope- it is fantastic- I bought 2 and washed them a gazillion times - best blanket, ever.

I returned the blanket. I wanted a replacement for a previous electric blanket that had two wireless remotes. Apparently no one makes a king blanket with wireless remotes. The blanket I returned had wires everywhere. I suspect if you unplug your blanket for ten seconds then power it up again, the code will disappear.

I thought the blanket was very soft and seamed to stay on the bed ok. Unfortunately, after about a week, the blanket contrôlée would only work on one side of our king bed so I had to return it as defective. I have read about similar problem from others.

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.
