Sunbeam Electric Throw, Soft, Warm, Flannel Heated Blanket, 4 Heat Settings, 4-Hour Auto Shut-Off, Fast Heating, Comfy and Cozy, Grey Color, 50″ x 60″

Saved my 96-year-old Gran
My grandmother had a favorite Sunbeam electric throw that she had used EVERYday all winter long on HIGH! Needless to say it finally wore out after multiple washings.I was worried she wouldn’t like a new blanket, but oh my goodness, she loves it! She comments on how soft and beautiful it is! She shows it to all the hospice nurses. It is definitely her comfort and continued warmth. Thank you!

Warm and works well, but a few disappointments
The blanket is soft and warm, heats up quickly, and the heat settings seem to work well. It has four levels of heat, I have only had it up to level 2 and I have been comfy on the couch with it watching TV, which is what I wanted it for. I like the color and the sherpa lining is soft and comfy. The blanket is warm even with the heat off.However, there are a few things I am disappointed with. The area of heat is not very large and doesn’t go all the way to the edges of the blanket. You can see in the pictures where the stitching ends is where the heating element ends, leaving about 7-8 inches on either side where there is no heat. The cord placement is in an inconvenient spot down at the bottom left corner, so if you don’t have an outlet to plug it in on that side the cord gets in the way. Also, there’s a massive tag with the washing instructions sewn right on to the front of the blanket, which is a bit ugly. I may end up just cutting it off and saving it for when it needs washing.Overall the blanket is nice and it works for what I needed it for, but I dropped a star due to the issues pointed out above.

Quit working after 3 months
Initially I loved this throw. It worked perfectly and was warm and cozy. Performed perfectly. Size was great, it looked nice and wasn’t that gross cheap fleece material.That lasted about 3 months.Fabric Quality/durability:The Sherpa side of it over a couple weeks started to pill and look dirty. I used this blanket on my lap at work in a chilly office, so it did not see any rough kind of use at all. No kids, no pets on it. It barely moved besides when I would get up from my desk I would move it aside and it would stay on the side of my chair.The Sherpa I believe is just a polyester that’s made in a way that it almost behaves like a soft Velcro, if that makes sense. It grabs whatever fabric you have on with friction, and it stores it. I was wearing red cotton pants one day and noticed red fibers like almost intertwined in the sherpa. Annoying, and a fabric shaver really wouldn’t help. I just picked at it and was like oh well.Then I decided to take it home and wash it. I followed the instructions, delicate, and it didn’t improve anything. It just looked the same. Pilled and intertwined with other fabrics.The fluffy Sherpa eventually turns into smooshed, pilled dirtly looking Sherpa.At this point I was just glad it was at my office and not on my couch looking like that.I will note though that the green pretty velvet side stayed super vibrant, and didn’t dull or pill. It still looks very nice even now.I continued to use this from when I bought it at the beginning of Dec, and washed it I’d say end of January? Once. Then about March it just wasn’t has hot as it used to. I thought maybe it just wasn’t connected all the way or something, but no. Heating element or whatever was going out.Just barely gets hot. I kept using it, and it was just feeble warmth.Spring came and I brought it home to wash again and I put it in a closet to forget about it until now. It’s chilly again so I brought it out.Investigated it more closely. Did a cord fray or get stepped on? No. Cords look brand new. Blanket just is shot.I’m buying another $40-$50 bs blanket right now, and thought I’d leave a review for others to stay away from this one.Disappointing and Shoddy.I refuse to put this in a box, stand in line at ups, and pay return shipping for $15-$20 to use my “warranty” that probably doesn’t mean anything and get a “refund” I’d rather be out the $40 and live and learn.Bought a sunbeam one bc I thought they were supposed to be good.Read all the reviews everyone, not just the ppl who bought it plugged it in and used it a week and wrote a review that it’s the best thing ever. Don’t buy this.

Comfortable
My wife loves this blanket. The material is very cozy and comfortable.

J’ai longtemps hésité à acheter ce genre de couverture. On a tous tellement entendu d’histoires de combustion spontanées, ou d’autres problèmes de couvertures chauffantes… mais, à un moment donné, faut faire sa propre opinion ! Donc, j’ai acheté cette couverture d’une marque tout de même reconnue.POURS :- Ça chauffe TRÈS bien ! Même au plus bas, on sent la chaleurs en moins d’une minute. Bref, cela fait ce pour quoi on l’achète.- Taille parfaite. Je peux couvrir une bonne moitié de mon lit double et le faire chauffer avant de me coucher… malgré les épaisseurs de duvet, cela chauffe le lit sans problème.- Le fil électrique est assez long, cela devrait convenir à la plupart.CONTRES :- Rien, pour le moment.Conclusion :Lors de nos hivers rigoureux, plutôt que de monter le chauffage, cette couverture chauffante suffira à vous tenir bien au chaud.

This blanket has 4 heat settings, but a 2 or 3 is already nice and toasty. Very useful in frigid nights!

I need a heated blanket but my past history is not great. However, I usually get about 3 to 6 months out of a sunbeam blanket. I use them every day so it can get expensive. I need a “heated blankst of the month club”. Treat it carefully!
