I've owned Sunbeam blankets for years but on the newest model I just purchased (Velvet Plush King Size) the controls only stay lit for only about 20 seconds. That makes it difficult to know if it's on or not or what setting it's at as the night goes on without having to push a random button. Not sure why Sunbeam thinks removing that useful feature is an improvement.  Otherwise the blanket seems to work well.
