Bought this last year and used it a few times, seemed fine, kept me warm.  
This year plugged it in and it stayed warm for about 2 hours then just turned cold.  Lights were still on, but no heat.  I checked the connection from the cord to the blanket and it looks fine. I also tried turning it off, unplugging it and waiting, then plugged back in and turned it on, but it did not work. I am so disappointed. I bought this to save some $$ on heating bill.
