I presently own five Sunbeam electric blankets and one Sunbeam electric mattress pad.I have owned Sunbeam electric blankets for over thirty five years.All have preformed well and lasted many years.This recently purchased blanket is soft,plush ,looks beautiful and heats well.But the controller is terrible.To adjust the temperature you have to hold the controller firmly in one hand while you apply significant force with the other hand to rotate the dial.Other models have dials or push pads that allow for easy adjustment of the heat settings during the night.Changing the settings of this blanket is no easy task.It is not convenient or user friendly.I can't believe Sunbeam would market a product with such a poorly designed control.I am not enjoying this blanket.
