The details
If you tend to run cold or are dealing with a drafty home environment, an electric blanket is a way to instantly get rid of a chill in the air. This one from Sunbeam features a rich, plush texture and ten heat settings to help you find your ideal temperature.
An auto shut-off design provides added safety measures, and lets you program this blanket to stay on for ten hours before automatically timing out.
Since the blanket disconnects from its cord, you can also use it on its own without the heated settings, making it a versatile piece that can be used year-round. The blanket is also machine washable for easy care.
'Keeps toasty warm'
With a 4.3-star rating on more than 700 customer reviews, it’s safe to say that this Sunbeam blanket is a top pick among Amazon shoppers. Shoppers have been impressed by its "awesome quality" and "plush feel," noting that it's "perfect for the Canadian winter."
"Warms your bed up very nicely and keeps toasty warm," one person wrote.
It's "soft and lightweight, yet cozy," shared another.
Another top feature of this blanket is the dual temperature controls, so even if you're sharing you can still enjoy your perfect blanket settings.
"With the dual zones...there’s no fighting!" reads one review.
While this blanket has won over shoppers with its easy operation and heating that feels "like a warm hug," they do caution that the timer function does have room for improvement. As it is, the only option for automatic shutoff is after ten hours of use, and some reviewers "[hoped] it would allow a selectable time range."
To buy or not to buy?
This Sunbeam heated blanket is a great choice for staying warm this season or giving as a gift. Shoppers have been loving the "cozy" feel of it, but they caution that the automatic timer leaves something to be desired.
For that reason, if you do plan to use it while falling asleep, it's worth considering whether or not you'll want to leave this blanket plugged in the entire night.
