This thing is huge. I love it. To be honest: I took it to work with me and I use it to take naps. It’s very lightweight but warm—even without the heat turned on. It’s soft as a cloud as well. I can barely feel the metal tubing inside which heats the blanket. It warms up in literally 30 seconds. It also doesn’t get hot on the highest setting, but it warms you up in record time. I love the timer, so it goes off after a couple of hours. Perfect for chilly winter evenings when you come in from the cold or get out of the shower and need to warm up quickly. Love it!
