In tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this electric blanket proved best by virtue of its soft, plush fabric, and its precise, even heating. Unlike competing blankets that felt stiff and scratchy, panelists praised The Best Electric Blanket's 100% polyester micro plush fabric as, "Very soft and cuddly, not itchy at all." While lesser blankets felt hotter or cooler than expected at low, medium and high settings, The Best blanket has 20 temperature levels--the most of any tested--that enable you to choose the selected temperature with precision. Its oversized control with LCD panel (Queen and King have dual controls) includes a pre-heat function that quickly warms the blanket to the desired temperature, and an automatic shutoff that cuts power after 10 hours. A patented safety system monitors the blanket 120 times per second to guard against electrical shorts and overheating. Scoring highest in tests for durability, the blanket showed no signs of pilling or shrinkage after multiple machine launderings. 6' detachable cord plugs into AC. Imported.
