4.0 out of 5 stars The Term "Luxury" is Used Loosely... Snuggie vs. Slanket, January 6, 2010

Ok, we all know that Snuggies reign supreme in their cheesy infomercial glory, but those that laugh have obviously never tried them. What's not to enjoy about snuggling up on your couch, all warm and comfy, whilst still retaining full use of your arms? Being the proud owner of a generation 1 slanket, I thought I'd give the snuggie a try, and went for the microplush, since I'm not a fan of faux fleece. Despite the upgrade, the material was still cheap and required an immediate wash to remedy the explosive shedding upon first snuggle. But all in all, it is an improvement to the slanket. The useless pockets make me smile and the length is perfect compared to slanket's not-quite-long-enough-for-an-average-adult dimensions. I could have done without the giant, scratchy Snuggie label on the wrist, but hey, its a compromise.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Improvment Over the Original, But Still Cheap Quality!, January 10, 2011

My wife is absolutely crazy for sleeved blankets and I admit that there are nights where even I am fond of them. They make you look a little strange but you quickly learn to not care what you look like as they really can be a savior during really cold nights especially if your up at a cottage or out camping, basically places where you wish for normal heated rooms. Anyways we have been on the sleeved blanket bandwagon since the very first year the Slanket was released and we have over the years tried just about every brand of sleeved blankets that exists. We were given 2 regular Snuggies as gifts last year and we absolutely hated them. The quality of the fleece is atrocious and it literally starts pilling after just 1 or 2 washes. Its really the cheapest quality fleece I have ever seen. What some people don't understand is that pretty much every fleece in the world is soft and cozy to begin with, it isn't until they are used a little bit that a fleeces true quality comes out and again the original Snuggie is without a doubt one of the cheapest quality fleeces I have ever seen. We ended up giving our Snuggies to the Salvation Army and purchased more Slankets.

Anyways given the fondness that my wife has for these kinds of blankets, anytime I stumble across a new version or a new company producing them, I always buy one for her to try out. I stumbled across the microplush Snuggie a few months back and swiped one up. Even tho the price was basically double the original version's price, I had serious doubts whether or not this would be anything more than a simple upgrade from the original. Unfortunately my suspicions were well founded as this blanket is practically just as bad as the original. The difference is instead of it being the cheapest fleece I had ever seen, the new version is the cheapest microplush I have ever seen.

I knew right off the bat that we were in trouble because as soon as we pulled the blanket out of the package, it littered our floor with a ton of little piles of microplush. I then proceeded to shake it and a ton more fell off. We immediately tossed it in the dryer for 30 minutes on low to try and get all the loose microplush off the blanket. It succeeded yet each and every time we have washed and dried the blanket, the lint basket is absolutely overflowing with more microplush. Don't get me wrong this is a definite improvement over the original Snuggie then again that isn't really saying much as the original was absolutely horrid and your paying double the price so shouldn't higher in quality be a given? Basically this Snuggie suffers from the same problem that the original Snuggie suffers from, that being the use of cheap fabric. Basically what this blanket teaches you is that super cheap quality microplush is better than and preferable to super cheap quality fleece.

Bottom line - Buying an original Snuggie was one thing as at least then you were saving 15-20 bucks over buying a Slanket. What makes this Snuggie so bad is that you could have gone out and purchased a Slanket for the same price and I can tell you with 100% certainty that while super cheap microplush is better than super cheap fleece, its not better than high quality fleece. Slanket still wins in our book. In fact, its still not even close. Its the difference between something cheap and something high in quality. Buy a Slanket if you want a sleeved blanket as is still the best option on the market.

Sorry Snuggie, better luck next time.

2 stars.

The MicroPlush snuggie costs a bit more than the original fleece version, but it is worth it. The MicroPlush is softer, extremely warm, and does not create the enormous amounts of static electricity that fleece does. Hopefully the MicroPlush will have a greater variety in colors in the future.
