I’m anemic and always run cold and therefore use heated blankets year-round. My main complaints usually are that the blankets only have 3 settings, are overall too small, have short cords, and usually time out after 3-4 hours. This blanket is probably near perfect in those regards. Not only is it the softest thing I’ve felt in a long time, the size is enormous! I can actually lie down and cover my whole body without bunching up in a ball. There are 6 heat levels and a timer that goes up to 10 hours. I made it to level 3 and was sweating. It heated up quickly and the cord is more reminiscent of true heated blankets (for beds) than a heated throw. So far, I have no complaints. Being as I use one every day, if I can get a year out of it, I’ll be happy.
