I would give this electric blanket a good rating. It is very soft, light and the wires are not very noticeable. The preheat setting barely warms the bed, so I have to set it on a higher setting about 20 minutes before bed so it is toasty when I go to sleep. Also, I like the dual controls, but as a result there is a cold spot down the middle. I had none of these problems with my old electric blanket - but this one serves the purpose. There might be a better one out there but this is good enough.
