Sunbeam Electric Heated Fleece Channeled Blanket, Full, Garnet

I was looking for a less expensive heated blanket for a guest bed that is seldom used. A friend, not used to Minnesota weather, said it was wonderful to crawl into a cozy, warm bed. I was also impressed by how attractive the blanket was. It will be a welcome addition for years, I'm sure.

I love this blanket, it's super soft, and its light weight so I put it between the cover sheet and top blanket and it warms the bed perfectly !! Has the auto shut off after 10 hours which I love, just incase I would forget to turn it off. Also it looks very nice, I have the darker blue. I'm very happy with this blanket, and you can't beat the price. I always depend on reviews for my purchases, so... I hope this helps you decide and I definitely highly recommend this product!

I use this on Lo setting in conjunction with a heated mattress pad(also Lo setting) and I have warmth all the way around. No cold spots. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I have to turn the heat off on the blanket because it's too warm. Second purchase this year because the price was too awesome to pass up.

I love that this blanket is both soft and thin, rather than thicker, woolen. Yes, you can feel the wires through the fabric, but no more than my previous blanket, which Was thicker. The wiring is thin and pliable, not stiff or bothersome in any way. I've used quite a few different blankets over many years, most of them Sunbeam brand. So far, I am enjoying this one more, or just as much...And, this one is quite a bit cheaper than any I've ever bought. It warms quickly and evenly...loving it so far.

Thick, comfy, and VERY soft. I can't live without it in the winter. Helps people like me that suffer from severe arthritis. My joints and bones stay nice and toasty warm and I don't wake up hurting in the winter. Can't live without it, and it was a decent price. Very thick and durable.

I bought 5 blankets- all the same brand and style. 1 king, 1 full, and 3 twin. They do work well and the controller looks just like the one in the photo, however after reading the description of the "Thermofine warming system senses and adjusts temperature to deliver consistent warmth all night", it led me to believe it has a thermostat of some sort. It doesn't. You set it at whatever level you want for the night and it stays there all night. No change up and down to automatically adjust the temp. as it says. Also, it says there is a "preheat mode". Not true. The book says some models have this, but these do not. Neither of these issues really make it a bad electric blanket though. I just thought I was getting a fancier blanket than they turned out to be. So far it has gotten down into the 30's where we live and we set the thermostat in our house 68 at night. I turn the blanket on the lowest setting to warm up before bed and usually have to turn the blanket off completely a short time after we get in bed or its too warm. The added weight of the blanket alone makes our bed so much warmer we really don't need the higher settings at all. maybe later in winter that will change. We do like the blanket and I would buy it again. The auto shut off is really nice since I don't have to make rounds every day turning them off in our kids' rooms. Great blanket, just not quite what I expected by reading the product description.

Our old blanket was 16 years old and not heating like it used to, so I needed to shop for a new one. This one was not exactly what I was looking for but the price was right. We have had probably four episodes where the blanket stopped heating and the controllers started flashing, but unplugging the blanket both at the wall and at the blanket and then plugging it back in, first the blanket and then the wall, restored normal operation. This has not happened every night but about once a week. Not sure yet if there is a problem, but when it is working it is wonderfully warm.

We have purchased several Sunbeam blankets over the last few years. They work very well for about a year, then they stop working. Most of them had a 5-year warranty and we sent some back to Sunbeam for repair - and they were still not working when Sunbeam sent them back to us. It costs about $ 10 in shipping to send a twin blanket back to Sunbeam, so now we just throw them out and buy one each winter. Wish they could make a product that lasts. We followed all the instructions and are very careful with the blankets, but they just don't last very long.

I selected this brand after a unsatistactory experience with a KMart brand and because Sunbeam has a popular reputation on the market in this area. I read the instructions, installed the item appropriately...and it did not work. No heat, and the lights on the controller were flickering indicating a malfunction (according to the manual). Took it back to Customer Service, they confirmed the malfunction and allowed me to get an exchange. I asked that we tested the replacement blanket in the store while I shopped around. Customer Service was very friendly and plugged in the new blanket. About 40 minutes later two surprised-looking Customer Service reps said: ''We don't know what is wrong with your blanket but this one is not heating up either!''. I got a refund. My advice, test your purchase in-store first before taking it home and then having to return it. If anything, it's a hassle.

I thought this was a great price and a good looking blanket when I ordered it. When I got the blanket, again, thought it looked great! Plugged it in and the lights on the controls began blinking. According to the booklet with the blanket, blinking lights on the control means that the blanket is defective and should be returned. Now I've got to go through the hassle of boxing it back up and returning. Very disappointed with this product and would not recommend to anyone.
