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.

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.

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.com Best of luck resolving your problem. Roy

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.

Hey Bart, sorry to hear about the tragic end to your cord but there are two options. It sounds like it wasnt a warranty issue so you have two options. Contact the manufacturer who's info should be listed with the manual. But I would contact amazon because their customer service has always been outstanding when ever I've had to deal with them. See if they have any returns that may have had problems with the blanket but not the cord. Since its a return or "used" item you might be able to purchase it.

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!

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

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 have no basis of comparison to the $99.99 blanket, but we love our micro-fleece. I can't imagine why anyone would want a hotter blanket. I have never turned my side up to more than three, and usually I set it at 1 or forget to turn it on. My husband keeps his side at 4 or 5. The fabric is soft and fine to the touch. We do use a light cotton cover over the top to keep it clean, and surely that helps to keep in the heat. But we always have done this with electric blankets. This blanket is way nicer than any we have had before. /jgh

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.

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.

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.

It's very expensive and only lasted me a year and a half at the most. I believe it has auto shut off, but it will remain in for hours before shutting off. I'm guessing the few times I left it on is the reason why it no longer works.

When I received the blanket and opened it up I was taken back by the smell. But I managed to make it go away by washing it in wool lite like 2 times. As of to date I have not put it away for any amount of time. Hope that answers your question. Sorry for taking soooooo long to get back at you. Life gets in the way sometimes.

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this

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 trow away all paper that came together with that blanket . Only thing I remember that this company in CA. I'll look for the name of the company and I'll let you know. One more thing about that duvet it is nice , but the wool indide shifts from edges to the center after a while use.
