Title: Just perfect!
Review: This blanket is so comfortable, the color is just what I wanted, the chords are long enough to run under the bed to the outlets on the wall behind the bed and the blanket warms up quickly. Add the timer and it’s perfect!

Title: Very warm, easy to use and clean
Review: Love these blankets! We have several and they are durable - I’ve washed many times as we have had them almost two years. They are lightweight and soft. Easy to use!!! And they work every time - automatically turning off when we want them to!

Title: A thin, effective electric blanket!
Review: If you want a thick electric blanket, look elsewhere. But if you need a thinner blanket fabric, read on!I've had several electric blankets over the years, all of them a thick, plush fabric, and that seems to be the standard across the products offered. All have been too thick, heavy and warm for my use except on the coldest nights. I have been searching for a thinner electric blanket to make my sleep more comfortable in my West Texas climate.I finally found it with this Sunbeam blanket. It is Much thinner than the typical plush blanket, so be aware of this fact if you order it. The heating function works well, the blanket is not heavy on top and gives me adequate warmth and comfort without heating, until the night temps drop enough to make heating necessary.This might not be your 'cup of tea' in blankets, but it certainly is mine! I'm very pleased with its construction and performance.

Title: It Works, Not Terribly Expensive, Needs an Extra Layer for Best Performance
Review: There are a lot of terrible reviews for a variety of reasons, but I've been overall satisfied with this blanket. We've been using this in a rather chilly and poorly insulated basement when watching television, listening to music, or reading.Pros: Decent price (I bought twin size for $69), quite soft, versatile temperature control, long cord, and looks decent.Cons: Somewhat uneven heat distribution, not great insulationPro and Con: Thin, explained belowBy far the absolute best "tweak" to increase performance is to throw another layer on top of this. It is a thin and light blanket so the insulation is rather poor and the heat quickly dissipates. Even a very thin layer on top will boost the performance from "maybe okay" to very good. However, I would not do this when sleeping because it could be a safety risk in my opinion.The heat distribution is definitely uneven. It's warmer towards the bottom near the cord "input," but I think that's just unavoidable due to the thin insulation and how heated blankets physically work. The thinness is welcome when I'm moving, folding, and storing it, but it impacts consistency of heat. Again, with an extra layer, it evens out and contains the heat, which lets you reduce the heat level by many levels.The heating wires are easily felt due to how thin it is, but the fabric itself is soft. The generous cord length is nice (over 15 ft overall, about 6 ft from plug to control). The 10 heat settings seem excessively exact. You realistically only need maybe 5 intervals. What the preheat setting does is unclear in the manual, but in my experience it seems to quickly heat up the blanket for 30 minutes before changing to whatever setting you picked.Overall, it's not a terrible price, and I bet you will be satisfied with this if you incorporate another layer on top. If you don't follow that tip, then there's a decent chance you'll be disappointed.

Title: Gets very warm & toasty
Review: I'm a Sunbeam fan. This is a (very) small throw that I bought and it heats up very nicely. Almost too hot but wow, does it feel good. I was using it on my queen bed but just too small, so I bought another to fit the bed.This one can live on the couch now.

Title: Unpaid, honest review! Updated 1/22/21
Review: I’ve had this same style throw that I’ve been using for the past 5-6 years. I love it! Even in the winter, it’s the only blanket I use besides a sheet on my bed. (I’m 100 lbs, 4’11.) Most of the time, I keep it on low. If I click it to high, I soon wake up sweating. I personally like that it automatically turns off after 3 hours for this reason and because I don’t have to worry about whether I left it on. This is a great feature for kids whom forget everything. I wish the controller wasn’t so prone to accidentally changing levels of heat. It doesn’t take much but the gentlest tap to change the setting. It’s not a big deal because the controller usually isn’t kept where I’d accidentally hit it but this issue should be remedied. I have sat on my bed and heard the click from accidentally turning it on. My only issues are that the cord connects towards the bottom of the throw but not ALL the way at the bottom which would’ve made it lie flat a bit more, and that the cords both come out of one side of the controller. This also makes it lay funny with one end toward the wall, and the other toward the connector on the throw. But this is how most heated throws are made with the exception of a few brands that didn’t have great reviews. I did thorough research and tried to think cost, quality, etc. I also prefer micro plush as fleece will eventually pill after repeated washings. Sherpa also collects pilled balls & lint of other fabric and tends to look yellow and dingy after awhile. Micro plush looks newer longer if taken care of. Make sure not to pull the blanket because the wires are sewn between the layers of plush. These might be the small “holes” people have complained. I noticed them when the blanket was brand new but assumed that’s exactly what they were. I had an electric blanket as a child and remembered I’d seen holes like that on it. So be mildly gentle.I’ve been so very pleased with my throw the past 5-6 years I decided to buy 9 more as Christmas gifts. It’s so hard to figure out what to buy people sometimes especially if you don’t know them well. Or even if you do, it’s still a wonderful AND USEFUL gift. They really are the perfect gift everyone can use. I keep one extra on hand each Christmas as an emergency gift.I wouldn’t let toddlers use the throw without supervision but a child that can use anything plugged in should be fine. (As long as they know and are responsible with sockets and such.)I’m writing this review based on this exact throw but probably an older version. The box looks the exact same but the controller in the picture looks different. Some people commented that they received a different looking controller but unless I open the boxes, I cannot see what it looks like to compare in any way. I will update according to the responses of the recipients after the holidays.If you find this helpful, please hit the thumbs up button. I hear by doing this, companies may choose to send customers free products for detailed reviews. Since honest reviews are a huge part of our decision making process, let’s help each other out so we don’t waste our hard earned $ on junk. Thanks.Update: I ended up giving 12 of these throws of various colors to my family for Christmas. I bought the Cabernet (burgundy), navy blue & walnut (brown). I like the darkness of the navy but all are nice colors. I did notice the boxes used different wording (plush, microfiber & velveteen) though the throws were all the same fabric when examined closely. Again, stay away from fleece as it will eventually pill, collect lint (often in those pilled balls which you have to pull out w your fingernails) and will grow thin after repeated washings. You can just lightly brush w hand/shake this throw and any lint will easily come off. The boxes were packaged in various ways depending on whom was working at the time I placed the orders. I was unhappy w 1 shipment because it was sent with no packing box, or even some sort of plastic over the original box to keep it from dirt/oil that would no doubt be collected during transit on the delivery trucks, in the warehouse, etc. The employee literally slapped a shipping label on the outside of the original box. Because 2 sides of the box are open so the customer can feel the throw, this means it’s susceptible to getting dirty & dingy. Anyone with common sense would’ve packaged inside another box to keep it from the elements which most did, although a few came w plastic protecting the throw. People passing by my home could easily see that an electric throw was sitting on my front porch too. The second issue I had with another throw was that the person whom glued the box the throw is packaged inside did not pay attention and glue was stuck to the throw after unboxing. (Or maybe it was a machine? Who knows?!??) I removed most but was unable to get it all off. Had I tried, I would’ve made a hole in the fabric. I noticed that while all the boxes were closed using glue, only a couple came with a clear plastic bag protecting the throw. This plastic should be mandatory to protect from both glue and grime. I ended up having to return it and purchased another so the recipient was unable to use the Christmas gift until Jan 8th. I did receive feedback from every person gifted one and they ALL absolutely love them. These make wonderful gifts. No one else had a glue problem either although upon looking at my own older throw that gave me the idea for the gifts, I noticed it had a tiny spot of glue on it. Then I vaguely remembered that mine also had glue when I opened it (years ago) but I didn’t want to tell the person whom gave me the gift because they’d have to go through a lot of trouble to return it and I didn’t want them to feel bad for giving me a defective throw. It hasn’t made a hole but I don’t clean this throw in a regular washing machine. It is machine washable but use delicate cycle. I prefer to soak in light detergent for 15 min then rinse and spin. After that, I lay it out to dry overnight. READ THIS: If your throw doesn’t work or fails to get warm, unplug it from the wall and disconnect the connector. Wait a few minutes. Then connect the controller to the throw FIRST, then plug into the wall outlet. Then turn it on and wait until it gets warm. This resets the blanket in case of issues. I read this in another review and think it’s VERY important to pass along. Why it’s not included in the directions?…I don’t know? (Maybe I missed it or maybe it’s better for consumers to think it’s broken and buy another?) Also tell those you’re gifting in case they think it’s broken and inadvertently throw it out. Most people won’t tell someone if their gift broke. I have used this “reset” method once when it wouldn’t heat and it restored it to normal. That was over 2 years ago and no problems since. I’ll continue to update if they’re any issues!12/2021: All throws are doing fine and holding up well including the one I initially got. Not one issue. 12 purchased. Zero problems. Very happy customer. Also, there are 2 different controllers, one being round and the other rectangular. The original rectangular version has a metal wire type clip on the back that I found very useful. The newer version does not. I’d also recommend (as does the company) to not use it between other blankets. Either put it on top or on the bottom. For best results (and perhaps safety), the heat must be able to escape a little.12/2022: Unfortunately I’ve probably given as many throws as I can but it’s still my go to gift for those that I haven’t gifted one. I just pulled mine out after the hot summer and it works as good as day 1. The people whom received them lived all over CA and found them very useful even in SoCal so don’t think someone may not find it beneficial.

Review: I have this on my twin bed. After struggling last winter with a throw sized blanket, this is a real treat! I like the soft grey colour. I haven’t had to wash the blanket yet so cannot comment on that. Other electric blankets shed big tufts of fleece. This one does not nor does it pill.I highly recommend this electric blanket.Pay attention to the warning to NOT use on invalids or those who cannot use the control. This is to prevent skin burns and electrical fires. Very important !

Review: This is a light weight blanket meant to go over your top sheet. Not on the mattress directly.The single control is lit and easy to use - even for a 94 year young mother-in-law. It heats fast. Twelve levels make it easy to pick what is right for you. It even has a self-set timer to shut off automatically. She loves it. Sunbeam is still a reliable product. Thx.
