Cuz he’s hot and I’m cold, I’m in and his out
My feet are always cold and my guy doesn’t want to be my feet warmer. **roll eyes** but with this dual heated blanket, my feet are warm. My guy doesn’t have to feel like I’m an ice queen. It’s a soft, fluffy blanket, it doesn’t shed after washing, great value, works wonderfully. Color is nice too

Excellent plush heated blanket
This is a purchased product, not a Vine review.Let’s start with the so-so. As others have mentioned, the blanket’s controls are awkwardly designed. The connector placement is an odd choice. You either have to place the connector on the floor at your feet on your left or near your face on the right. I don’t have an outlet on my right, so that placement would be awkward having the control cable draped across my chest. Yeah, that’s a no. That means having the connector at my feet near the floor. It would have been better to have the connector placed in the center of the blanket which would work correctly for left or right placement.I can’t speak to the longevity of the Westinghouse model KTHT-CHDX-Q controller included because I just received this blanket, but I had previously bought a similar throw blanket using the older KTHT-HDX-1 Westinghouse controller a couple years past from HSN. That older controller lasted a little over 2 years before failing. That blanket was nearly twice the price and not as plush.This blanket is quite warm even without the heat. The added heat makes it toasty and nice, but I really wish throw blanket manufacturers would add more heating coils inside the blanket near the feet area.As the black Friday deal, it’s worth the price (~$36). If you’re paying full price (not black Friday), then you might want to shop around a little. While this is a very nice heated throw, it’s not perfect.As for its usability, there are some things that make heated throws not very handy. These blankets are great until you need to wash them. Washing them using the label’s instructions is very tedious. Instead, these manufacturers need to settle on requiring the use of the FULL delicate wash cycle (which I do) rather than relying all of these manual gyrations of stopping and starting the washer, washing it for 1 minute, letting it soak, forcing it to drain, then spinning it for a minute or two, rinsing, then spinning it again. The instructions are cumbersome and silly… and it may not even be possible on some washers with electronic controls. Who wants to stand around screwing with the washer for about 15-20 minutes just to wash a blanket?The blanket also places a HUGE care tag of instructions on the front side of the blanket. These care instructions need to be placed on the INSIDE of the blanket, not on the outside. This huge label also needs to be removable. It’s not easily removed as it sewn into place, but it can be removed with some effort.Having owned a similar heated throw for 2 years, I have a number of tips. It is best to unplug the blanket from the controller when using the blanket only as a blanket. If you don’t plan on using the heat, always unplug the blanket connector from the controller. Better, find another blanket to use instead. Reserve using this throw blanket solely when you want heat.You should also avoid stepping on the blanket’s connector. This can be difficult when you situate the blanket so that the connector is sitting on the floor. You’ll need to be careful as the heating element inside of the blanket is fairly fragile, which is likely why many controllers are failing on so many of these 1 star reviews. Frequently washing the blanket, then drying it in a dryer can also cause the controller connector to begin to have problems after the connector has banged around in the dryer.To keep the blanket cleaner longer, place another throw blanket underneath this one to avoid the need to wash this heated throw often. If you have a separate non-heated blanket under it, you should only need to separate and wash that one often. The point is, you’ll want to keep this heated throw as clean as possible to prevent washing it often. You do that by placing another throw under this one and avoid eating food around or on top of it.Finally, I don’t recommend running this blanket on max heat. Even though the blanket is rated to have 7 heat settings, the controller seems unable to handle the highest heat settings for long duration. I believe it is this problem that is a major contributing factor for burning out so many controllers. I’ve found that the low setting is warm enough for most situations and that it is THIS setting the controller is fully rated to handle for long periods. Using the lowest settings may also extend the longevity of the controller, but there are many factors that contribute to a controller’s failure. It’s too bad that Westinghouse doesn’t sell controller replacements separately.Overall, I like the build quality of this Westinghouse blanket. The faux sherpa interior is quite soft. Unlike my previous blanket which also claimed to have faux sherpa, this blanket’s sherpa doesn’t get caught on every skin burr it comes across. Fabric types that get caught on skin burrs really, really irritate me. This throw actually truly soft on both sides. The controller is awkward, but it seems to work just fine. Again, try and run it on the lowest setting possible, preferably on L. Even though the blanket has a max setting, the controller doesn’t seem rated to handle this high heat setting for long. Thus, I don’t recommend running this blanket on max (7) as this setting seems sure to burn the controller out fast(er). It’s also what seems to have burned out my older blanket’s controller.

Works wonderfully
Color, quality, softness and heat functions are all perfect

Heated blanket connoisseur’s review
I have many heated blankets around my house. I keep one in my car for travelling. I have one at the office. I know heated blankets. Not a single one gets 5 stars, but this one comes close.Cons:- The wiring doesn’t cover the entire blanket. There are about 16 inches on all sides that are not heated. Not a huge deal, but I ordered a twin to not have it draping down the sides of my full sized bed, only to find that the entire bed isn’t covered now.- It gets toasty, but not as warm as some other blankets I’ve dealt with.Pros:This blanket covers two of my biggest gripes with other heated blankets.- First, it has an adjustable timer that goes up on 30 minute increments (until 10 hours, then it goes up by the hour to 12)- Second, the power connector on the blanket snaps into place. Other blankets don’t have this and it makes me feel like I’m going to accidentally pull the connector out every time I move. As someone who sleeps with it and runs marathons in my sleep, having it securely connected is vital. It makes it more durable and functional for frequent users.- This material is soft. It is average thickness for a heated blanket but very soft!

I can’t say enough good things about this blanket. I use this thing almost daily, I’ve washed it several times and it works just like the day it came. Good size, even heat distribution.
