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.

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.

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.

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.

i have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!

Hey Bart, sorry to hear about the tragic end to your cord but there are two options. It sounds like it wasnt a warranty issue so you have two options. Contact the manufacturer who's info should be listed with the manual. But I would contact amazon because their customer service has always been outstanding when ever I've had to deal with them. See if they have any returns that may have had problems with the blanket but not the cord. Since its a return or "used" item you might be able to purchase it.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

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.

gave one to my mother-in-law 23 months ago that just this past week stopped working. She used it 3-4 times a week and had nothing but praise for it. She's often commented it's the best heating pad she's ever had. I just ordered her another one. She primarily uses hers on the neck/shoulder area and has never mentioned any problem with the fit.

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!

I would recommend giving it a try. Try it on a small area in the corner at first and set it to the highest setting. I cannot guarantee it won't damage your blanket, but if you're careful, I would think not.

I never had this issue.... It has literally been the best blanket we have ever purchased!! I only by aden and anais products now, they are our favorite and our childrens favorite!!

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 did have one blanket that after about 6 or 7 months of use a couple zones went out but the manufacturer sent me a new one and to date have had no problems. Plug the blanket into control unit make sure all three are secure then plug unit into wall outlet turn power on in the back of control unit press power button on the front of control unit adjust time and temperatures make sure to press the button beside the temperature and that there is a little red dot indicating that each zone is on then press start button on the front of the unit. Hope this works for you cause these sauna beds are assume! If not try contacting the seller or manufacturer. Also, always make sure to unplug the control unit from the wall outlet after use.

Joshua, the manufacturer strongly advises this collection to be dry cleaned to maintain the look and feel and your investment. If you have children or animals I would suggest using a top sheet or a soft blanket for them to lay on instead of your beautiful comforter. I dry clean my comforter twice a year and we sleep using a top sheet between us and the comforter and I have 4 little dogs that know they need to stay on the blanket across the bottom half of our bed. The comforter is 100% cotton with polyester fill and washing it could cause it to shrink and I would hate to have that happen. Just some suggestions and tips for you. Good luck.

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.

Just wash it with cold water and then you can tumble dry it. It is better than new after that. The blanket is awesome :))
