This blanket could not have come at a better time! Midwest temperatures fluctuate and I was not ready to turn my heat on. This blanket keeps me nice and warm during the colder nights. It has 20 heat setting controller that is easy to use, and an auto shut off just in case I forget. It is a really nice quality ivory color, one side is plush and the other is berber. I typically like the berber side but the plush side has a nice touch. It is also machine washable, which is great. I look forward to this blanket with more fall and winter nights to come to keep me warm. I would definitely buy this as a gift and also recommend to my friends.
