Sunbeam Electric Heated Throw Blanket Oversize Washed Stone Microplush 4 Heat Settings

I'm going to preface my comments by saying that I'm not really using it as the manufacturer intended, so my review is colored by that. I like this blanket. The material is soft and warm, the coils get nice and warm, even on the lowest setting, and the button is easy to find and access. The two downsides are: 1. The control button is on one side of the blanket, not on the extension so it sticks out (and, for that matter, sits right on top of you) . This makes the blanket a little less comfortable because you always have the control block right there. I'm also using it as a heat source to warm my bed prior to going to sleep. I don't really need it overnight, just to get the bed toasty at the start. The side controller makes this a little less convenient because I have to unplug the cord to make it easy to get in and out of bed when the blanket is placed there. I could potentially solve this problem by putting the controller toward the middle of the bed, but this brings up problem number 2: 2. The control button is easy to push--perhaps a bit too much so. When the blanket is on the bed and the cat steps on it or lies on it, that is enough to change the setting by a notch. I have woken up more than once with the control set to 3 or 4--way too hot to sleep with. All criticism aside, if you use it for its intended purpose--as a throw, not an overnight blanket, I think you'll be satisfied by it. Just be sure to keep an eye on the temperature control. It is definitely easy to turn up.

I bought this product based on reviews. I bought 2. One works well. The second one does NOT heat all over the throw. It's a small portion that heats up. It's random about whether it heats at all. I would have returned it, had my husband not thrown out the box. Check carefully to determine effectiveness and condition before you throw out box. Keep your options open.
