I purchased this blanket as I realized I no longer have a heating pad that was passed down to me by my mom. I would periodically use heating pad for injuries but mainly just to have a center or warmth under my blanket in the colder months. Since weather is getting colder, I figured it would be better to have a whole blanket to keep me warm. This blanket was supposed to just be on hand in my closet however days after it came I opened and used it. Turns out I encountered a heating issue in my apartment which my landlord is still trying to fix. When the temp dipped to high 40's during the night I whipped out this beauty and it kept me nice and cozy. Not that I don't want my heat fixed however having this blanket has made the last 2 days seem fine. I will likely request an additional as blanket as a gift or buy an additional blanket for my son.This was a purchase to replace a heated blanket that died on me after having it for about 4 years. This blanket is thin and lightweight... but super super soft both on the sherpa side and the top side. It's smaller than I imagined it would be... but truly that is because of my own calculations - the dimensions are right on the listing. I wish there would be more heat distribution... while I am kept warm - I noticed the heat is more on one side of the blanket. Not necessarily a problem since it allows me to move if it's too warm to the other side of the blanket... and still remain warm without having to turn the unit off. Overall - great buy!I live in OH and I like the change of seasons. I keep the house temp around 67 which is fine when moving around, however, when seated I get a little chilly. I had been using a space heater but have always been concerned about safety so when the latest one died, I switched to the heated blanket. I really like it and wished I'd make the switch sooner. The blanket seems to be good quality and can get very warm. The controls are easy to operate and the heating level easy to see. Hopefully it will last, but so far, it's great.Love this electric blanket. Very light weight and comfy. Purchased the king size and it fits bed well and covers all. Super soft and warm. Love the preheat cycle. I usually warm up the bed on high and turn down to 1 or 2 for sleeping. Will make great Christmas presents!this is a very nice, soft blanket. A little more "electric" blue than I anticipated, but not bad. The only thing I can criticize about it is that a usage tag is sewn/glued onto the outside of the blanket and the connection for the control/power cord is on to outside/top of the blanket. Generally, I've been used to those things being on the underside of the blanket, so they're not visible. And, there is no tag or connection visible in the product listing photos.I bought it for him because he was losing so much weight and so cold all the time. This kept him warm and cozy. His only complaint was that the one I bought was too small for him.Very happy that Amazon is offering so many items, never have to look anywhere else. All the things I have bought are of great quality & not ever a lack of anythingPerfect size for use in a chair or recliner. Soft and warm. I had to reach out to their customer service about a small issue. They responded within 1 day and resolved the issue. Very pleased with this product. Highly recommend.any heated blanket is kinda a risk no matter what because of how they are built.Bought Feb 8th 2022 - Last Review Update March 5th 2022.50 x 60 Inch Navy is a good size for 1 person and helps with chills from anything like a cold room to the chills.The heat is ever so slightly more on 1 side but does not play a huge role.the cord is long but in all likelihood you will need an extension cord. even with a plug behind my bed, I need one because of the placement of the controller.Personaly i dont notice much with settings 1-3 unless i was already asleep and woke up with just s little heat needed. 4-5 are my go too settings.-1 star due to the very slight unevenness of heat, and the similarity of heat between settings (would have liked some more noticable settings seeing as its either 3 or 5 for me).Still a good product I hope it lasts the year at a minimum.Was dead on arrival. Bought that brand over a cheap Chinese one. Should have stuck with the chap China one. Returned it won’t but again.
