I had this on my amazon wishlist for Christmas, and intended to get a couple more as gifts. The one I received is blue, and it's almost the perfect size. A little longer by about 6 inches and it'd be absolutely perfect. I'm 5'3 and it covers from my waist down and around my toes(my feet are usually ice cubes, so I try my best to keep them warm!). It's also easy to share for two across your laps.

It's fleece, so it does seem to attract cat hair and fuzz balls. Though I will also say, your cat will become your BFF, they really love the warmth. On that particular front, I ordered my Mom the sunbeam micro plush one in mushroom color, all the same except for the fabric/color. The texture and feel of that one is a little nicer then this fleece, but at the time I wishlisted it, the fleece was 30 and the micro plush was 50 -- I found the micro plush on super sale at walmart just around christmas for 30. So that was just by chance that we had the ability to compare and see the true difference.

The dial I was concerned about because I usually have the electric blanket on our bed at 10(it goes from 1-10, 10 being the warmest) to get it really toasty, and I was thinking that out of low, medium and hi on this, that hi wouldnt be that hot. Well it is! It's wickedly hot! I usually just put it on that to warm it up and then switch it to low. I had thought I read on some reviews for this blanket that there was an auto-off for safety..I must have read wrong beause I left this on overnight by accident and it was still on and warm the next morning, the cats seemed to enjoy it though!

Easily washed, I threw it in the machine and even dried it on "warm" -- usually I let electric blankets air dry or tumble on no heat, but according to the directions on the blanket, its ok to use a warm dryer for a couple of minutes. It came out soft and super clean.

All in all, both my mom and I are overjoyed with our blankets. We're both usually cold so it's really the most wonderful solution. I'm cold because I like to keep heat down and conserve energy, so now I can be toasty without wasting away natural resources, so I feel a little greener as well!

Bought this throw as a gift, I own a similar one. Thought I was getting a deal, but when it arrived the Throw Blanket does NOT have the Auto-OFF feature. The Product Description was completely misleading. The one with Auto Off is the costlier blanket. Still warm, but I am disappointed, as that was a feature I particularly wanted.

I bought this throw for my husband for his birthday. In less than a week after he started using it, two holes appeared, which I mended, but more holes showed up soon after. We will use this until the cold weather is over (if it doesn't fall completely apart before then) and then I intend to junk it.

I bought this last year with the objective of saving on heating bills. This year, it doesn't really heat up very much. I can tell that it is generating some heat (it's not completely broken) but even on high I have to put a second blanket over it to hold the heat down, which defeats the purpose of having an electric blanket.

When it was new, it would get blazing hot really quickly, which I liked. But now, only 1 year later, the "high" setting barely warms it at all. My own body heat is putting more warmth into the blanket than the electricity.

The control is awkwardly shaped and positioned, so that it will never lay flat, and it is furthermore very sensitive to vibration. You can actually change the heat selection by tapping the control on any surface, and you don't have to hit it very hard to do this. A gentle tap of the back of the control against the floor will switch the control to the next setting. Very frustrating when you set it and put the control down, and it immediately switches to the next setting as you lay it down.

Also, there is no auto-off. It will keep going forever, and given that it will switch from "off" to "lo" with any tiny jostle of the control, it is extremely easy to accidentally leave it running if you don't unplug it.

The lack of quality in this blanket is really unbelievable.

Because it's not heating up anymore, I'm going to replace it, and you can bet that I'm not replacing it with another Sunbeam product.

The blanket is very soft, and I use it to curl up and read in the winter. My only complaint is the blanket heat settings aren't hot enough.

I purchased this throw less than a year ago. The controls are already out and it won't heat. The cord for the controls is awkwardly placed and difficult to change settings while using the throw.

Don't waste your money, it won't last and it's poorly engineered.

My circulation not being what it was when I was younger; on Black Friday 2009 I bought an electric throw like this for winter evenings. My wife was always warming her feet under the edge of it; so I ordered one for her for Christmas this year. We both love our Sunbeam electric throws! In the evenings when we are still and quiet, me watching TV and my wife reading, we cuddle up in these warm, comfy throws and remain toasty warm without having to raise the thermostat! The only real complaint I have is the size would be better if it were a few inches longer as it just makes it to my feet (I'm 6'2'') and the placement of the controller. It connects on the bottom towards my feet so I have to bend to reach the controller. Overall we both love them and definitely recommend it.

This was exactly what I wanted for my father who likes the room much warmer than I care to have. So, he is warm and we are all comfortable.

I live with a person that is ill. He has been cold all winter. The electric bill, the gas bill, they are over the top. He sleeps under an electric heated blanket at night but was cold all day. I finally got this one for him and he tends to go from bed to chair with his electric throw as his day time warmth. The only problem is that it is too short. A little longers would be better. Being six foot may be the problem. He loves it and wishes he had gotten the first one I ordered. They were out of stock. He will agree that he is warm and it is saving us money with the electric space heaters and the central heat. Buy one. It couldn't hurt.

The cord would allways need to be played with to get it to work. And when it worked it worked great. Then one night it did not want to work at all. Living in North Florida the past few winters have not been that cold. Then here comes 2009 and 2010 and it has been very cold for long periods of time and thet's when it started working bad. Yes it has a 2 year warranty on the product, But if you dont use it right away in the first 2 years then your out of luck. Works great in the box, But when you start useing it then it starts wanting not to work. Then stops working all together. I us to trust sunbeam, But there just another company that want's you to buy there product. But don't want us AMERICANS to make there product.
