The blanket is soft and comfy and warms up pretty quick. There are some serious problems though: First, he cord that plugs into the bottom of the blanket on one end and has the control on the other end is so short that I have to reach under the bed to use it. Second, it's hard to know if the blanket is on and if so what it's set to since the control doesn't light up. Finally, every time it's turned off it's set back to a one by default rather than retaining my preferred setting. It was a close call whether or not to keep it. I decided to because despite what I consider serious shortcomings it is a very comfortable blanket.
