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.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

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 haven't had any problems with mine, Im not sure how you could fix it. I did find at one time mine was not heating, I checked and the cord was not plugged in completely to the blanket. I plugged it up and it works fine.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

I'm not sure about anti-pilling (not sure what that means), but it was fine when I put it in the washer. I try to not dry my blankets as I feel like not doing so helps them stay soft, but I is put it in the dryer on the no heat setting and it was fine. I'm not sure my answer helps, but I hope it at least answered something.

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 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.

Yes. Even after several washings, so far no pilling on the outside and fleece inside is still soft.

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.

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.

Hi, So far I have not seen any shedding- the flocking is attached pretty securely. I was concerned about the colorfastness of the brighter colors and black, so I opted for the ivory color. My closet has never looked better and I was even able to organize by category with the nice rack dividers Amazon sells. I found stuff I didn't even know I had and the same clothes fit back in my closet with room to spare!

I wash mine weekly, and it's come out just beautiful every time. This is a really great blanket!

I haven't had that problem. It washes really well. It isn't the super fuzzy fleece that sticks to everything.

I have washed my twice ( I have dogs) and I have not had any problems with it balling up but I do dry with wool balls in my dryer. I think it looks fine not faded or anything.

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.
