About Westinghouse Heated Throw Blanket
Overall Feedback:
67% positive
66% praised the design, but 34% found it bland
I have to feel around to find the electric throw and then feel around for the button to change the heat level as it is not lit up.
I am disappointed with the design of the electric throw. The settings cannot be seen in the dark unless the button is touched, and the LCD flickers. I would have preferred a better design for the control.
69% found it easy to operate, but 31% faced troubles
I had an awesome Sunbeam electric blanket before with remote controls and no wires connected to the blanket. It was accessible, easy to use, and could be placed anywhere comfortably.
When I turn on the remote, it lights up and goes off after selecting the temperature.
67% appreciated the heat output, though 33% found it inconsistent
I am unable to handle the highest heat settings for long duration.
The electric throw only heats the center strip and the maximum heat level (10) is barely warm.
The blanket does not heat evenly throughout and even at high heat, the temperature is only 3 or 4 at best.
66% appreciated the quiet operation, but 34% found it noisy
I dislike the remote control as it has no light that stays on in the dark.
62% praised the safety features, but 38% found them inadequate
I noticed that the blanket has a locking feature on both plugs so when you move the blanket, the plug does not pull apart. This safety feature is a great addition to prevent frustration of re-plugging all the time like many other brands.
The blanket has a locking feature on both plugs to prevent them from pulling apart when moved, which is a great addition to prevent frustration of re-plugging all the time like many other brands.
I noticed that the electric throw has no safety designs and resulted in electrical fumes due to capacitor overcharge.
I warn that the heating element in the blanket is fragile, which may be the reason for many controller failures in the 1-star reviews.
