Product Description

Is your office cold in the morning? Or worse, all day long? Well the USB Heated Shawl is your answer. Just plug it into your USB port on your laptop or desktop computer and place it around your shoulders. It even has a button to hold it in place around your shoulders while you work. It can also be draped over your legs to keep them warm or warm them up. Please note that the blanket is powered via USB and does not have an insulating layer for safety purposes. If you just plug it in and lay it on the desk expecting a radiating blanket of warmth you will be disappointed. The blanket is designed to work in conjunction with the body to retain and radiate heat from the heating pad. Once you plug the blanket it in lay it across your lap, across your shoulders, against your back or even sit on the blanket and you'll feel the warmth of the blanket in just a few minutes. Of course we take no responsibility for the fact that you won't want to leave your desk all day because once you've gotten all toasty and when you take your blanket off you immediately feel the temperature difference...

5.0 out of 5 stars Toasty Buns November 10, 2010

By Pecos Bill TOP 1000 REVIEWER

So far so good on this thing. It is always cold in my office and we can't have space heaters so I went looking for something heat related and found this.

It's like a very small, heated blanket. You can wear it as a shawl if you really want to, but you will look terribly silly. Personally, I sit on it and it makes the office temperatures moderately more tolerable. It's just the right size to cover your lap or line the back of your chair so don't expect anything big. The temperature definitely isn't up to specs with a full electric blanket that you'd plug into a wall socket but it's noticeable -- I'd say this thing on "high" is about like the heated seats in my car on "low". It's warm enough to notice and make a difference.

2.0 out of 5 stars Heat was disappointing... January 7, 2010

By Brit

To be honest this was for a gift and I was very excited for the person that was receiving it... they are always chilly and this was to be the perfect gift... well they were excited but even with the 2 USB plugs in for the higher heat...it didn't put out the heat like I thought and she thought it would so I was a tad embarrassed and disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high but I figured it would be similar to a heating pad... it is not. The shawl is soft and in it's own merit will give some warmth to the user but the heating portion doesn't heat very well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough power October 20, 2011

I admit I read the reviews and bought this anyway since some people said it did heat a little bit. My main concern was the ice cold air blowing down on me all year at work and we are not allowed to plug anything into the outlets at work except our computers and approved lamps. After receiving the product I have discovered that the ONLY way this heats is if you are putting pressure on top of the shawl. So you must be either sitting on it or have it between your back and the back of the chair in order for the heat to penetrate the shawl - then it works wonderfully. I expect if you put it under your feet it would work as well but it's so pretty and soft I refuse to put it on the floor. So I still have to wear my coat and a blanket on my legs...but I now lay the shawl across the back and seat of my chair, it then warms up really well and takes the chill out of my bones.

You may want to consider that the item is not very large and can only be used with your computer. I love the fact that I could wrap it around my shoulders like a small shawl or wrap it around my legs to keep them warm when working on my pc at home. It met my expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a cold office May 17, 2013

I am ALWAYS cold in my office, and this little lap blanket is perfect to warm me up. It's small enough that it's not that noticeable on my lap, which is nice. It doesn't get super hot like a heating pad, but it gets warm with both USB's plugged in, enough to keep me from having to put my jacket on. Great idea!

2.0 out of 5 stars Yea, doesn't really heat up March 11, 2013

Bought the product since my office is always cold, I normally just sit on it to put pressure to get heat it's like sitting on a normal blanket it will eventually get warmer because of your body heat. Not worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Product stopped working March 8, 2013

I was very excited to get this item, however, I have only had it a month, and it doesn't work. While it is plugged in, the heat will stop working for over an hour, and then magically come back on for just 5 minutes. Then stop working again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would like it more if it provided more warmth March 1, 2013

I work in an office where I have to don an extra 40 pounds or so of clothing in order to be comfortable, so I ordered one of these as we can't use portable heaters at our desks. I really liked the fact that you could plug it into your computer instead of a wall socket.

It provides a little bit of warmth, but nothing like an electric blanket or heater or even a heating pad. I find it most effective as a lap blanket. It would be nice if the cord was just a little bit longer and there was an on/off switch. When I need to leave my desk for a few minutes, I have to unplug it and then plug it back in when I come return.
