The size, fit, and color are perfect! Very warm.

I’ve purchased a total of 4 of these. 2 for my own home and 2 as gifts for others. My most recent purchase, I decided on the poncho wrap. On occasion I work from home so the wrap makes more sense when sitting at a desk. All of these blankets are very warm and the heat is evenly distributed throughout the entire blanket. I find Sherpa on any blanket makes it more appealing and it is very soft on both sides. While the wires can be felt, not annoyingly so. The controller was well thought out. It has a separate on/off switch from the heating level switch. This is important because other blankets only have one button for all these and if sat on, it turns the entire thing off. My uncle has had his blanket I purchased him for over 2 years and it is still going strong. He enjoys it nightly. As can be seen from the photo, my pup loves it too. I highly recommend this blanket and I’ll soon be ordering another one to add to our collection.

I'm in my seventies and have several ailments. And do get cold often and can't seem to get warm. I wear sweaters in the summer. I can't turn the heat up too much in the whole house as it's not fair to everyone else in the house. Regular blankets and plain cloth shawls don't work as i have no warmth in me to warm them up. This electric shawl works for me to take the chill off. I can sit in my lounge chair and drape the 'arms' of the shawl (it is split in half half way up the material) over my torso and arms and get toasty warm. The warmth lasts for hours while I'm up and about working around the house. It's a life saver for me to not be cold all the time.

This is just a great buy for me. I live in North Carolina in a 100-year-old bungalow, in the mountains, and our winter has been exceptionally cold. We our also undergoing a house project which creates many leaks. On cold days, our heat pump can only get up to 66 degress, and even with out little cast iron stove roaring and long underwear, it's still fairly cold sitting in my recliner. Every year, I usually purchase another cheap electric throw. They don't hold up to many washings, and the cheap ones make me feel restless and overheated if I leave them on for a while.So I bit the bullet and bought this slightly more expensive Beautyrest wrap throw. It's great! Very high-quality, soft, fluffy fleece. The different technology means I can leave it on during a whole evening of TV watching and never experience electric "creepy-crawlies". I never get too hot, even when I turn it up to high (although I usually find the medium setting just right.) I also like that the controls are large and easy to read. Sometimes I use this on my lap, too. The design allows me many variations of use. This has a safety device and will turn itself off. I must admit, however, that the antique age of my bungalow makes me super careful to turn off appliances, so I haven't tested that automatic turn-off yet. My spouse and I had the bad viral cough and cold going around, and I just wrapped myself in this around my head and shoulders, used a regular throw on my lap. It felt great on head and shoulders and really soothing. I realized my arthritis is much better this winter despite the intense cold. Perhaps it's this throw's soothing heat? I have not yet washed it, so cannot comment on durability. Very detailed and complicated instructions included. I will probably wash by hand in the spring and line dry. Even if it breaks, this has been entirely worth it and I will buy another. The only downside is I did get a little tintinitis from the throw when I wrapped it around my head during my cold, but I get ringing in my ears from almost any electrical or electronic device. The ringing went away after my cold. I would also suggest the company create this throw in more colors and patterns. I prefer muted, solid colors for a throw, to blend with the patterns on my stuffed furniture.
