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've had mine for several months now...I use it as a cover on my love seat for my dogs to lay on.I wash it every week.It just seems to get softer!

It has been wonderful. I would be the first to share a concern... I love the strong cotton feel and there is no problem will pilling. I just wish every company would catch on to the need for wider bedding for deep mattresses... They got it right in fitted sheets but not bedspreads, conforters and the like.

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

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

so far.. I haven't experienced anything like that and I've even had to wash it and so far I love it. It's very comfortable and it's keeping up well. I've had comforters like the one you mentioned and I understand how frustrating that can be. Hope this helps!

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.

To be honest I bought mine for emergencies so I have not used it yet. However, it did seem to be itchy. I think most wool is unless you are buying cashmere. I could be mistaken. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend buying this blanket regardless as they do not make them of this quality anymore.

I bought this last fall and have used it every night since. It works very well still and I am still happy with the choice. I haven't had to wash it yet because I place a sheet and thin blanket underneath. I am sorry for your experience and wish you well with the return. We had a similar experience with Edenpure heaters: we run two thar we would never be without but in the midst of that had one that ran our utility bill up to $300 and tripped a circuit breaker. Maybe you just got a bad one. My UPS driver suggests the possibilty of electronics being damaged by improper handling during shipping. I bought this last fall and have used it every night since.

The fabric does not shed and I've washed it a few times, it's super soft and I had it up near my face. It folds up into the square pouch that is made into the blanket. It took me a second to figure it out but it easily tucks back into the pouch. Maybe the size of a fanny pack when folded up. It's the best travel blanket I've owned hands down.

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it. The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

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

Bought mine Nov 2012, seems to be very durable. Washed very little couple of times no sign of pillowing don't believe fabric would. I have been very pleased with product. Dr. Mercola has some info on earthing now too might be worth looking into.
