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.

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it.The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

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.

I have owned 2 of these blankets and they both have stopped working after just a couple of times of usage! Don't bother with the purchase waste of money!

That problem hasn't occurred yet. I am stuck with this blanket for the rest of the winter and have nothing good to say about it. It isn't something you can't cuddle with as it's stiff, material resembles felt and and tends to tear. If my cats walk on it it tearsNo auto shut off. Irregular heating on chosen temp. I hate it!! I will be sure to check reviews more carefully.

it generates enough heat that it has to be turned down or it will make you too hot! My wife has never had a blanket that has heated as well as this one. This is about our 5th electric blanket and it is the only one that she has had to turn down.

I absolutely love this blanket. It is by far my best beach blanket. It is very light weight and while we usuallu use it under a tent canopy for kids, the material is thin and isn't too hot to the touch from what I've noticed. We also tend to use beach towels to keep it from becoming too wet on sand. The plus is it is easily washable and has stakes which hold it in pace even in windy conditions. I highly recommend this blanket! Hope this helps out!!

Hi Kathleen, I just replied that I didn't know about a warranty for our blanket. I did a quick search about the blanket and found one review that had the following text - "The product is backed by a five-year warranty, and several users report the customer service department was at least friendly, though perhaps not always helpful." Digging a little further found this note - "5 year guarantee from the manufacturer, Perfect Fit Industries (since 1932)."Finally, here is the contact information regarding the manufacturer:Perfect Fit 8501 Tower Point Dr.Charlotte, NC 28227 800-864-7618 custserv@pfisleep.comBest of luck resolving your problem.

I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool. I also turn them off as soon as I am out of the bed. So I don't know if the controllers of your son in law were faulty initially or if they got that way with constant use. It could be an issue to consult with the manufacturer through the internet. Gadgets that convert household current to low voltage to charge say cell phones or rechargable cell batteries do get hot if left plugged in for very long periods of time after charging. They usually recommend to unplug them after use. I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool.

when it works, does fine job. but, out of nowhere, the thermo switch will cut off and blanket gets cold. only way to fix it, unplug & replug it from wall and start back over. not a dependable blanket and i would not recommend this product.

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.

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.

have you covered your blanket with a another blanket? That will cause it to flash an error message and shut off

I live in the Pacific Northwest where it doesn't stay too warm in the evening. For me it works perfectly. In the dead of winter I often add an additional blanket. I hope this helps you.
