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.

No I have never had a problem. I have 3 charged cotton love them all. And always wash in cool to cold . They have maintained there softness as well as size consistency.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

I took this blanket straight out of the package and gave it to a guest and there was zero shedding. I then put it on my bed and still, no shedding.

I use this pad for my Grandmother, I have to wash it daily or at least every other day. I haven't had any issues with it pilling. It's nice and large. This product is well worth the price, at least in my opinion.

I have had mine professionally washed. It did not pull or shed. Perhaps that is due to the larger washer capacity.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

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

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.

I've had some of mine for 3+ years. They're not rough and scratchy but they are a little pilly. I actually don't mind, I feel like it gives me more "grab".

Love this cute blanket and so does my Havanese dog. She sleeps on it every night. I have washed and dried it once and it came out like new! Lucy sheds very little and the small amount of hair on the blanket came out. Hope that helps.

We have not had any problem with ours. We bought it for our daughter and she is messy. We have had it for months and wash it once a week...it stays nice. Does not rip or ball up.

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.

I've experienced little shedding. My problem was that it lost shape after a while.

I've had my Earthing products for 3 years now with no problems. I wash the sheet with Tide -- it didn't occur to me to use anything else. I don't overload the washing machine because I don't want any pulling on the sheet's "wiring."

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.
