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.

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 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!

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.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

Hi Diana, I don't recall any problems with shedding with the 3 we own. I would suggest keeping them for the 30 day money back period and evaluate then. Ours were purchased many years ago and are still like new. I have never had any complains about the quality as other reviewers of most recent time seem to have reported. I wonder if the quality has decreased? One thing to know thought is that the ones we have are the Snuggfleece Original, not the more economy version.

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.

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 have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!

No, mine has never shed. And I have used it almost daily during the winter.

I haven't washed the blanket. We rarely use it it's more of a family heirloom

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

No I doesn't shed, it's a 103 degrees where I live, and it's still as good as it was new! Had mine for over a year now.

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.

Well your probably wondering why I would describe as nice and soft, well it is, and this is why. When I first got it I wanted to make it a little fluffier and I have done this several times with all wool blankets I have gotten, besides some wool blankets like the Italian and pretty much all surplus ones will have an odor to it like moth balls,. So you want to freshen them up. Anyway what I do is wash them in a gentle cycle and add a fabric softener, you'll notice what seems to be a lot of fibers come loose and it will seem as if the blanket is falling apart, but it is not,, trust me! Anyway if there seems to be an odor still,, wash it again,( this blanket does not have an odor) and you'll notice there will be a lot less fiber in the washer this time. From there put it dryer but at a setting of less dry and throw in one of those fabric softener towelets and dry about 80% to 90% and then let dry at room temperature, it will be ready to use that night with no distortion of material at all! Oh one more thing check your lint collector frequently about every 10 to 15 minutes till there seems to be no more fiber coming loose, this is what I used as a gauge when to take out of dryer,, it came out perfect! Enjoy P.S. it weights about 3.5 lbs. when said and done.

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.

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!
