I got this blanket for Christmas 2020. It worked great for about 6 weeks. Then the control that works for the left side of this blanket quit working altogether. I turned the dual control for the other side of the blanket on, and again it worked for about 7 weeks or so, and it is starting to fade heat wise. I love how soft the blanket is, but not so much for the heating wires. I will have to buy another brand because I have to be warm when I sleep at night. My mom paid far too much money for the blanket to fail inside of 4 months!
