Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The "rate features" on this blanket were "softness," "light weight," and "comfort." On those features I would give it 5 stars, but I refuse to do so officially, because it would make you look good. This is because there is one major flaw in this blanket, an issue I've not seen anyone else address. Since it's dual control, one control heats up one side, and the other control obviously heats up the other side, just like my old electric blanket. The problem is that the heating coils inside this blanket come nowhere close to each other in the middle. What this means is that there is a strip of blanket, maybe 8 inches wide, right down the middle that does not heat up at all. So you have both sides of the bed heated up right where you want it, but that strip down the middle leaves that part of the bed ice cold. As long as you don't turn over and hit the cold spot, no problem. But a strip of cold down the middle THAT wide? Whose retarded engineering idea was that?? I still would have given the blanket a higher rating had it not been for the company's response to my issue. They gave me the same old standard instructions that come with the blanket, a generic answer they'd give anyone about any problem. I am seeing this A LOT on Amazon products - the seller often responds to poor reviews with the same old trite message they give everyone else without so much as even acknowledging your particular beef with the product. SELLERS: Please do us all a favor: It would be better if you did NOT respond to customer complaints if you're only going to give the same standard, generic instructions to everyone. When all you do is copy/paste the same junk for a bunch of complaints covering a wide degree of issues, it just makes you look stupid and we are not at all inclined to buy your junk ever again. If I had it to do over, I would have gone elsewhere. But since I'm out the money, I'll be sure to leave negative feedback and hopefully I'll influence at least one person NOT to buy this weird blanket. Thanks!
