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 )?

We've had ours since December and haven't had any issues with it at all. My wife loves it.

I have had mine fore several years and it has never shed anything. It is really put together well.

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.

I have not had too much of a tangling problem. I have noticed the last couple of times that it tangled a little bit. I had to untwist it and lay it out straight before I could roll it back up and pit it away. The last time I used it I layed it out flat again and stayed with it for a few minutes to make sure it was feeding out ok and not twisting at its longest run. good luck with it. Hope this helps.

We've had ours for around 2 months. It's still plush and no bunching at all. Every once in a while, I throw ours in on air fluff in the dryer, and it's pretty much the same as it came out of the package. I'm very impressed with it.

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!

Yes and no. It's a little loose around the edges but otherwise works just fine. I love my set, even after a dozen washes, they're still super soft and look great. No fading or loose threads either!

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 have not - I've been using the blanket every weekend for years, and never experienced such issues. That could be related to your diet and the blanket could be reacting to that. I would keep the lower settings at your comfort level to help with that as well.

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.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.

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.

I really like mine, it's not like the original electric blankets, where you could really heat up the bed, but they don't make those kind anymore! But this blanket is pretty good, not great, but good.

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

We've washed it several times, and have had no issues. But that said, with any comforter you run the risk of the filling going into the pockets / ends when you wash it. We use gentle cycle, cold, and try not to wash it with anything else.

I've experienced little shedding. My problem was that it lost shape after a while.
