I've had multiple Sunbeam electric blankets-I go thru about 1/year (used year round),  The newest is a microplush (burgandy/garnet/whatever the "red" is for this model) Admittedly it may not be as warm as the 20 setting blankets I've had before, but more curiously, it is shedding small tufts of itself-finding them all over the house now--LOTS of them! (and first glance, looks like blood drops...) Photo wouldn't cooperate...
