This blanket worked for a week and then the electronics croaked. I had electric blankets that lasted for over 20 years so I had tossed the paperwork so I guess a return is outta the question. I have tried a reorder hoping I just got a fluke but will hold on to the new paperwork and get a refund for sure if this next one turns out to be a turd like the first. Most of the reviews are better than mine so I suspect a fluke, just "one of those things", so take this review with a grain of salt until I review the next one.

I have one of these, and it stops working every single night and the control starts flashing and won't stop until I reset the blanket by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Even when it works, it doesn't generate much warmth.You're better off getting a real blanket or quilt instead of this. Just do a google search on the terms "sunbeam electric blanket flashing" for a myriad of reports from similarly dissatified customers.

The sunbeam electric blanket was great...in the beginning. It stopped heating up after only four months. I can't believe this. I'm so disappointed, and I highly DON'T recommend this brand to anyone.Honest reviews on Sunbeam Royal Nights Heated Blanket, Twin, Navy
Not thrilled with the blanket. I got this as a Christmas present for my son because his bedroom is about 15* cooler than the rest of the house which is not real good when you live in Colorado. The poor kid sleeps with jeans, socks, and usually a sweatshirt on as well as 4 blankets. Dude looks like an Eskimo!So I waited and waited til Christmas, figuring it was the perfect gift...and it probably would have been had it heated up to an acceptable temperature! He's had it on for about 8 hours now on high and it isn't even warm. I thought maybe he was crazy (ok, I know he's crazy but that's neither here nor there), so I got under it and it's really disappointing. I'll be returning this one ASAP and buying him a new one. It stinks to be a kid (13) and not have a present work...then again, it stinks even more when you buy a gift and then have to ship it all over the country to get it returned. ;)
If you're looking for an electric blanket that works, keep movin' on. Isn't much to see here except a still-shivering boy.

I've been looking for a moderately-priced electric blanket for quite awhile. Finally found exactly what I was looking for in this Sunbeam product. Probably shouldn't have picked a dark color, though!I don't leave the blanket turned on all night. I use it mainly to heat the bed for 10-15 minutes before retiring. If I didn't know better, I'd swear it keeps on heating very gently anyway. This has been the year without a summer here (San Diego), so I've used the blanket almost every night since it arrived.
It would have been nice to read the care instructions before purchase. Sunbeam says to not use a commercial dryer, use a home dryer for only a few minutes, then dry the blanket on a clothesline. What if you have access only to a commercial (coin-op) dryer, and don't have a clothesline? The solution was to dry at very low temperature until almost dry, then put it on the bed. Doesn't seem to have hurt it any.
Do I recommend this product? You bet! And the best part is, it's made in the US!
