I have never been one to promote anything, yet here I am promoting this blanket. I was excited to receive it and when I opened the package, I couldn't believe it - where are the wires?! I was amazed, but then I wondered - can it really heat up? So many people complain about other blankets not getting hot enough. They often complain that we now have "warming blankets", not meant to "heat" the bed, but just to take the chill off. Well, I can tell you this much - you get into bed and the first 10 seconds you think, "Is this on?" Then, in 15 seconds, you say "hmm, I'm getting warm." Shortly thereafter you say, "A little toasty - and only on 6!" Finally, the last comment is, "Ok, turning it down now." I am impressed and I am not an easy person to impress. Frankly, if it only lasts one or two seasons, it will have paid for itself. It is lightweight, super-soft, fluffy (not cheap and thin like others), very warm, near wireless, and best of all, I don't have to pile on additional blankets during the night. Oh, and another thing... I have seen some reviewers complain about the two plug-ins for a king (which I have). NOT a big deal. No idea what the fuss is about. I ran the wires underneath the mattress and plugged in on either side of the bed. Worked out great (if you don't have enought outlets, get a 3-way adapter - it's $3! - or an extension cord). I don't think you can go wrong with this blanket.
