This review is from: Sunbeam Full Herringbone Camelot Dreams Heated Electric Warming Heating Blanket, Seashell Off-White

I was looking for an electric blanket on the web and decided to get this one after doing some research. The majority of blankets I saw were sunbeam and I didn't want to pay too much for one, so I decided to go with that brand. The winter has been cold this year and sometimes the heat in my apartment is sporadic. So instead of potentially blowing out my electric socket with a space heater I decided to get an electric blanket instead.

All I can say is that so far this is blanket is a keeper. I've been using it since late december and I'm very pleased. I have the single control but want to dry the dual eventually. I love climbing into a warm bed before I sleep and not I don't need to wear socks anymore either. I was kind of weary of buying one at first, but all I can say now is that its a good value for the price. Two words to sum it up, "Affordable and Warm"

My husband and I bought this blanket to keep by our sofa and use on cold winter nights while watching movies, so that we're not as tempted to turn the house thermostat up.

When it arrived I opened it and plugged it in to make sure the heating elements were working correctly. I was impressed that the blanket control has 10 different heating settings in addition to the on/off switch. The only thing I dislike about the blanket is that the fabric is really very thin which makes you notice the big wires running throughout the blanket. To remedy this I decided to slip the entire blanket into a cotton duvet cover (the wire connection simply emerges from the semi-open closure at the end of the cover). This small addition makes the blanket much more comfortable and stylish in my opinion, if you are using it in this way as opposed to traditional use on a bed where presumably you would have a layer of sheet between body and blanket. I am thinking a flannel duvet cover might be an ideal solution, and I will try that in the future. The price of the blanket was wonderful, we paid around $60, on Amazon. When we started looking at blankets, most of the models were $100 plus! That would have been definitely too much for a blanket this thin, but around the $60 range seems just about right.

Usage of the blanket is a breeze, simply plug in, set dial and relax. The blanket heats up quickly and evenly. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed blocking the chill out of the night air as we enjoyed scary movie night, and our circa 1910 home didn't have to have it's furnace gobbling up extra fuel.

I do like the top fabric on this blanket as opposed to the typical fuzzy material that balls up over time.
This is a thin covering material however as I read in another review but it doesn't bother me or my husband. Warms the bed before we get in and has auto shut off after 10 hrs for people who forget to turn it off when they get up in the morning.
