I love my blanket!! It is SO soft and just the right size to cuddle up in a recliner or sofa. There are 2 things that Sunbeam could work on, tho. 1) The one button temperature control is very close to the plug-in on the blanket, so I have to flip the blanket upside-down to have the control up near my hands. 2) I have noticed that if the control drops on the floor during adjusting or what-have-you, the temperature will change. The control is so sensitive that you have to get comfortable and then adjust the control carefully and not make any sudden moves to bump the control out of the temperature you had selected. Just what I needed--a blanket with an attitude...LOL All in all, I like the blanket enough to deal with it--and the savings ($30 and free shipping) pays for the aggrivation...

I was very pleased with the weight and size of the blanket. I have had one for years but this one is far superior to the one I have. Usually the newer products aren't as good as the older ones but not in this case.

I have a pinched nerve in my back and am awaiting surgery. In the meantime, I spend much time on this marvelous throw. Heating pads are the thing of the past for me. This product is great.

This is a great throw. The color is a pretty soft pink. What I love most about this throw, is that, one could throw it on the couch, without people realizing that it is an electric blanket. It looks just like a normal blanket. It is not hard and ugly like my older electric blanket. As for the heat setting, well let's just say I'm always cold. Yes, I live in California, but I am still always cold. With this throw, there is a low/medium/and high setting. The high setting is too hot for me. I usually leave it on low, and in the winter some nights I'll go to medium. I know at least one other reviewer said that they could barely feel the heat. The only thing I can say to that, is that they must have gotten a defective blanket, because this things gets plenty hot enough. My two biggest gripes about this product are that 1) like others have said, it is way too easy to accidentally bump the control, and have it change the heat setting. All it takes is for one's leg to barely touch the control, and it will change. Sometimes I would put it on low, then suddenly find that it is now on medium or high cause I accidentally touched it. They should not have made the control so sensitive. And 2) again, like others have commented, the cord is put in a bad place. They only have one place to plug in the electrical cord into the blanket and it is in the middle of the bottom of the blanket. They should have attached it to the side of the blanket, so that it wasn't constantly getting in the way of people's feet. I am always moving it around because it is constantly hitting my feet. And also, they should have made the cord longer. Overall, I would recommend the throw, though they could have made it better.

I love this blanket. The only thing that would make it better is if were bigger. It puts me to sleep every time.
