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.

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.

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've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

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've had some of mine for 3+ years. They're not rough and scratchy but they are a little pilly. I actually don't mind, I feel like it gives me more "grab".

I haven't seen any pilling. I had a set of these sheets for our old bed and liked them so much I ordered two more sets when we got our new bed. I can't imagine what's different between my sheets and those that reported how awful they were, but I love them!

I would compare it to a very soft fleece. It washes well and remains just as soft without 'pilling'.

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.

I use this pad for my Grandmother, I have to wash it daily or at least every other day. I haven't had any issues with it pilling. It's nice and large. This product is well worth the price, at least in my opinion.

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.

Yes I have. It it is heavy but my washer has never broke. I've also have but my blanket in the dryer for 20 mins and rotate the blanket put in for another 20 mins. Pull it out and air dry the blanket the rest of way.

Yes I have washed it several times and it washes and dries well in the dryer. This is mostly due to the fact that it is very thin - more of a summer blanket than a winter one. I had to use a second comforter to deal with the colder weather this winter.

I don't. I have lots of these blankets - they feel so nice when they're new. But they are garbage. They all ball and put off LOTS of lint. I have a couple of white ones that drive me crazy! I think after lots and lots of washes it gets better - but I dont' use the white ones all of the time, so they may never get to the point where they don't give off lint. I keep buying them thinking maybe they'll perfect the technique - but I just think this particular kind of blanket is always going to be linty - which is too bad - because as I said, they are super soft and nice when they are new.

Honestly, it's not great. I washed it when I first got it, as you'd normally do with any new bedding etc. and it pilled immediately. I've only washed it that one time and the pilling has definitely gotten worse. Meh.

We bought it for my son for xmas last year and have washed it a couple times without any issues. No shedding yet. We all love it. It is soft and beautiful, without the shedding.
