first shipment had defective control unit but was replaced by manufacturer without question. since then, no problems. so long as you understand that this blanket will not provide the scorching heat of an ac only electric blanket, well worth the price imho.

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 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.

I own 3 of them , in past 10 years only 1 was sent back on warranty, free full replacement. They are awesome and sooooo much better than those junky sunbeam and other ones. It pays for itself ...

I've only had my blanket since October, but so far, I love it! No problems at all.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

You may want to stick with the blanket Idea. I have not found a great option for mine either. Sorry for the bad news.

It actually warms up quickly. I think you might want to the instructions. It took me awhile to do the settings properly. Mine works great. I wouldn't trade it for an electric blanket ever. If it is a defective unit, I would exchange it.

I called the company and they don't make them anymore. I suggest that maybe you could find someone to make one, or as I am doing, just putting a small blanket on it so it can be washed easily.

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.

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

I agree, the cord is a problem. I use my blanket daily. You need to remember that it is a "throw" not a full size blanket. Get it in position, turn to most comfortable setting and you are good to go for at least 4 hours. The benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

I've had it over a year & I love it. It's very soft & comfy.It works better than any electric blanket I've ever had!!

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.

This blanket is used in our home and in our travel trailer. We are on our second year and it is working great. We can only use setting one or two, otherwise we are too warm. I would rate this blanket five stars.

Randy I have used mine around 10 times. I've washed it about the same amount of time and it still keeps me warm and it hasn't fallen apart.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

I live in the South and do not turn my blanket on every night. I have had this blanket for about a year and still love it with no complaints. It really feels so nice to get into a warm bed at night and keeps my feet so toasty. Really love my electric blanket!

I have not - I've been using the blanket every weekend for years, and never experienced such issues. That could be related to your diet and the blanket could be reacting to that. I would keep the lower settings at your comfort level to help with that as well.

It might be if you're looking for just enough coverage for a blanket or two. But beware! I bought mine in December and it stopped working last month. Will not charge to turn on. I would recommend upping your price point $15-20 and getting a better quality product.
