How does this blanket compare to the Soft Heat Luxury Micro-Fleece Low-Voltage Electric Heated Blanket without ribs that costs $99.99?

The soft heat ultra micro=plush is the worse heated blanket that I have ever owned - it takes forever to warm and never ever gets very hot - my husband hates it also - he has gotten so use to a much hotter heated blanket to keep him warm during the night that and we purchased this blanket prior to Christmas and it is raveling out terribly. So very disappointed with this purchase and will not ever purchase anything like it again.

I'm not sure how it compares but my wife and I love this blanket. I never turn it hotter than 4 and I'm perfect all night!

I have no basis of comparison to the $99.99 blanket, but we love our micro-fleece. I can't imagine why anyone would want a hotter blanket. I have never turned my side up to more than three, and usually I set it at 1 or forget to turn it on. My husband keeps his side at 4 or 5. The fabric is soft and fine to the touch. We do use a light cotton cover over the top to keep it clean, and surely that helps to keep in the heat. But we always have done this with electric blankets. This blanket is way nicer than any we have had before. /jgh

My 13 yr. old daughter runs hot at night with her fan on high but still used this blanket over her. So in not sure how to answer that. It seems like it would be similar to a soft double layer microfiber smooth cover.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.

It starts to warm immediately. I find I use it at a setting of "Lo" to "3" about 10 minutes before I intend to get into bed in order to take a chill off the sheets. Soon, I'll either leave it at that setting or turn it down later during the night ( room temp of 63 degrees). I never need it all night long, though if I ever do I will have higher settings at the turn of the control knob. This is the best blanket, low energy, soft fabric, easy to read control (lighted) and machine washable.

Near as I can tell, the only difference is price. When I bought mine, the price I paid was $60 and change-- a lot for a camping blanket I thought then, but ... great quality. Came with very strong moth-ball smell. Aired it out. Smell has abated. Heavier weight than I anticipated and that was a good thing. Went back to buy another and found price increase. Couldn't bring myself to lay out extra $30+ for camping blanket. Certainly would not pay near $120 for a camp blanket, that's for sure-- but that's me. $120 too expensive to risk in woods-- for me. For a household or cabin blanket at those prices, worth every bit of $90-$120, but too expensive now for carrying into woods IMHO. Hope this helps. Near as I can tell, the only difference is price.

The main difference is in the thickness of the fleece. The Mambe Classic is a 100 weight (light weight) printed fleece. A great picnic blanket or lightweight waterproof stadium blanket. The Mambe Essential blanket is made with Polartec 200 weight fleece. A great mid-weight fleece that is warm but can be used year round. Use it to stay warm and dry at the game or as a picnic blanket. The Mambe Extreme Blanket has a couple main differences. It has a heat reflective lining, thick 300 weight Polartec fleece and it comes with a stuff sack. This is an excellent stadium blanket to stay warm and dry in even the worst weather. All are made in the USA and are excellent quality. All have waterproof/wind proof black backing.

Don't know, we just used regular outlet. My husband did not like this electric blanket, as it seemed cheesy to him, and he didn't like the electric blanket feel. Perhaps if I had gotten a more expensive one, he would have liked it better. I like an EB as I grew up with them. You might want to price compare.

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 better buy is the "J & M Home Fashions 108-Inch by 90-Inch Fleece Blanket" sold here on Amazon for $19.99 w/free shipping.

I've never used a emergency blanket so couldn't tell you.. However I can tell you it is pretty thin.looks just like foil but no where near the feel. The sound IS annoying but it works. We use it foil size up, but there is a insert that I noticed says you can use it cloth-ish side up. Makes the same amount of noise. Sorry I didn't have the name of the material. Pretty light though.

During seasons other than winter I like to use a light weight cotton blanket. In comparison, the Soft Heat blanket is definitely warmer, even without being turned on. And this is only natural due to the inner layer of heating wires which limits the fabric's breathability. This is a fabulous blanket, but you will find it to be warmer even when turned off.

It all depends on the wattage. If the dish is also only 600W, it will cost the same. However, if the heater has higher watts or has a blower (fan), then Cozy-Heater will be cheaper to run.

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.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

Serta Low Voltage Blankets use between 14 and 18 volts. The average electric blanket uses about 120 volts.

I bought this blanket few months ago, it works good for me, it's only have 1 setting, it doesn't get really hot, but that's what I need to cover from my waist down to my leg, because I have hot flushes, so I don't need to cover the whole body. Other people said there is odor come from the blanket, mine doesn't have any smell. I got the red plaid one. So far I'm happy with it
