My husband loves this blanket as it works very well in keeping him warm. He enjoys several settings in order to find the temperature that will do the job. I like it because it washes quite nicely....just follow the easy directions. Drying is easy as I've laid it out over deck railing this summer and it's dry in less than two hours. It also has dried in dryer on low heat in less time than any other blankets preceeding this purchase.
