The directions state that it will NOT feel hot to the touch - it warms the bed and you have to get in the bed to appreciate the heat. I LOVE this blanket, as it does not overheat, I never become uncomfortably hot and the softness is lovely.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

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.

Did you try turning it up on the dial? I don't know, mine gets really really hot on like 5. Maybe yours is broken?

I believe it gets to about 120 degrees when first heated, and then it tapers off to maintain a warmth of about 90 to 100 degrees for many hours. So it is very hot to start out, and needs to be in it's cover for sure. When using it in my cat beds, I also put it in one of those baby receiving blankets to make sure it doesn't burn them, and always make sure they have part of their bed or nest to move away from it if they get too hot.

It does get pretty hot. My 4 year old burnt his hand on it. Also, I wouldn't waste my money on it. We had it for a month and it quit working. This heater is junk.

It does get very warm. My boyfriend is unable to sleep with this blanket on the bed, he ends up sleeping on top of it.

I don't find that it get's overly hot at all. Overall, it's a great beach blanket and the size is great for my family of 4!

Mine is king size, so there are two controls, one for each side. You might need to fiddle with which one goes where because I found the directions a little confusing, not much because I managed to attach the cords in the right place and once I pushed the "on/off" button, I adjusted the temperature (1-19 and H for high) and felt which side was affected (I had it backwards at first), and then I discovered the rest of the settings, including whether you want "Auto Off" or "Stay On". Auto Off turns it off after your specified number of hours up to 10 hours. I set it for Stay On. I turn the blanket on while getting ready for bed and it's warm as toast when I climb into bed. When I get up in the morning I turn it off, no rocket science needed. It will take a few nights to find your ideal setting. I have no central heating and use "14" as the ideal setting so I neither sweat nor get chilled. Keep other blankets handy in case your power goes out. Those two tear drop areas under the labelled buttons are - + for changing your setting, e.g. if it's really cold, I might raise the 14 temperature setting by pushing the + teardrop button. You'll end with kids and dogs piled in with you because this is true comfort.

We have 3 heaters and the cords get warm but not hot. We found the cords on the newer heaters we bought this fall don't get as warm as the one we bought last year.

After you fill the unit with lighter fluid put the small cap back on. Then hold a flame to that part for about 1 min. Replace the lid and put in bag. It should stay warm for many hours. I hope this was of help. It took me a bit to understand how to work 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.

It doesn't get hot. Mine doesn't charge very well though. The cord needs to be in a certain position once plugged in or it won't charge. Hope that helps.

I put heat on mine but i did it fast. I would not recommend keeping it on for a long time. And don't even try to curl it because the curl will not stay i tried multiple times.

Mine only gets warm enough to melt the snow which only has to be above 32 F, it does not get very warm but it does work.

Just fill it with water and turn it to keep warm or boil. It gets the water hot and and it actually stays hot on the keep warm setting. This is a very poweful appliance. I use it all the time and I love the way it works.

Place the silver towards the hot side. In my engine you had to tape the blanket down or use some type of heat resistant fastener.

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.

It doesn't get hot just warm. It's the same temperature as the low/medium setting on a heating pad. If you put your hand on it it feels like a spot your pet has been laying in for a few hours. It won't burn them or damage any surface it's on, just wrap a towel around it.

It gets warm but not hot. I have pushed it back(out of the way) on the counter shortly after use and it was definitely not too hot to touch.
