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.

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.

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.

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 wash mine weekly, and it's come out just beautiful every time. This is a really great blanket!

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.

Boy, that is cold. It is a tough question since I did not buy the blanket for my bed which has a quilt and a plush throw and I keep my thermostat at 62 degrees at night. My area can get down to freezing in Nov, Dec and Jan. So, I would say if your house gets colder than mine, it might take two of these blankets or blanket and quilt (or maybe a comforter). Sorry, I could not give a definite answer.

The warranty period my be five years but I have yet to find out who or where I should contact regarding a faulty blanket. I had it replaced one and two days the return date it stopped working...again. I am fed up with this whole process and I can't get anyone to answer e-mails or phone calls. DO NOT BY THIS BLANKET!!!!!!!

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.

Just wash it with cold water and then you can tumble dry it. It is better than new after that. The blanket is awesome :))

All modern elect. blankets, by law, have automatic shut-off. I believe it's after 10 hours. And I don't think it was programmable, just the default 10 hours.

Joshua, the manufacturer strongly advises this collection to be dry cleaned to maintain the look and feel and your investment. If you have children or animals I would suggest using a top sheet or a soft blanket for them to lay on instead of your beautiful comforter. I dry clean my comforter twice a year and we sleep using a top sheet between us and the comforter and I have 4 little dogs that know they need to stay on the blanket across the bottom half of our bed. The comforter is 100% cotton with polyester fill and washing it could cause it to shrink and I would hate to have that happen. Just some suggestions and tips for you. Good luck.

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.

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 put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

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.
