I originally purchased this to have it on my bed to warm it up before I crawled into bed at night. However when I received it I realized it would be better for my lazy boy chair while I’m watching TV to keep me warm instead of using my gas fireplace which seems to make my gas bill go through the roof in the winter time. It’s lightweight.  I haven’t turned it on yet but am looking forward to a warm blankie and two snuggling doggies at the same time. And a hot chocolate.
