【SOFT DURABLE MATERIAL】 “Soft and durable”? More like “scratchy and shedding like a shedding husky in a blizzard.” Apparently, 200 GSM Flannel and Sherpa will keep you “warm in the cold winter” – unless you’re actually in the Arctic Circle, then you might need a few more layers.
【ADJUSTABLE WARMTH】 “Adjustable warmth” is a fancy way of saying “you can choose between scorching hot and lukewarm.” And don’t even get me started on the “2-10 hour time setting” – who needs a heated blanket for 10 hours straight? Maybe they’re trying to simulate a sauna experience?
【SAFER & MORE RELIABLE】 “Safer and more reliable” – oh, so you’re telling me I won’t spontaneously combust if I wear this thing? Thanks for the reassurance! And “ETL and FCC certified” – that’s reassuring, I guess, but doesn’t mean it’s actually any good.
【OPTIONAL USE SCENARIOS】 “Perfect present for anyone who loves to stay warm and cozy” – yes, because who doesn’t want to look like a giant, overstuffed teddy bear while they’re lounging on the couch?
【CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR HER】 “The perfect present” – apparently, the only thing women want for Christmas is a giant, itchy, electric blanket.
【EASY MAINTENANCE】 “Simply toss it in the washing machine” – and hope it doesn’t shrink, unravel, or spontaneously combust.
In summary: This product description is about as convincing as a politician’s promises.

Nice size, and it warms well. The poncho is soft and warm, with various levels to set temperature. Since it’s a poncho, there isn’t any restrictiveness on the arms. With the hat down, if you have all the snaps up, it does pull a bit at the neck. Unsnapping the top snap helps that. My husband’s office is in our newly finished basement, which stays pretty cool, even in summer. This is perfect for him!

As a woman, at some point of your life you will exceed ‘hot flashes’ and enter the constantly cold old lady point in life. As I’m entering this final chapter I’m finding myself using a lot of heated blankets during the winter especially as my house only has space heaters for warmth. I was intrigued by the idea of a wearable heated throw and wanted to give this a try.
Manufactured from basically a throw blanket, the neck hole has been placed at the center and a hood added. Easy to use snaps are found down the front allowing ease in putting it on. The neckline can be snapped very tight or opened as needed. Two deep pockets can be found on the hooded throw front to keep your hands warm as well.
Pros:
Really soft nice velour on the outside and a faux fleece lined inside. This is very soft, thick and fluffy.
Warm. Just by itself this is super warm. It has an additional 6 levels of electric heat.
It’s nice this has a timer. You can set the timer up to 10 hours.
Good instructions in English are provided with this throw.
Cons:
The stitching. The seams on this are a mess. They are rather chunky and look almost unfinished like the rough portion of the seams have been placed on the outside rather than hidden inside giving this a rather inside out look. There are multiple areas of long hanging threads where they ran the seam off the fabric and left those threads loose. For such an expensive throw, I’d have expected better quality. I ended up going over the entire blanket and removed all the loose lint and strings and then cut the hanging ones off.
I wish this was easier to clean. It comes with pretty specific care instructions which require either hand washing or a delicate regiment of machine washing. I understand it’s electric, but wish this was just easier to care for.
This is not very long. I found when wearing it the blanket hit my waist making it about the size of a waist coat. I’d have loved this to at least cover my lap and butt.
Wires in this feel pretty thin so I do question it’s life before the heating ability fails.
Overall this isn’t a bad product. It’s soft, fluffy and warm. Assembly could use a bit more care to make those seams less rough and chunky. At the present price of $65.99, this appears to be with in fair market value for this style of hooded throw. You are paying for the wrap style convince as a basic heated throw this size can be found for about half this cost. I have to say however, that it’s rather nice being able to wear a more fitted throw than a haphazard small blanket.

She loved it so much she took it with her on a couple trips on a plane. She loves using it at home plugged in, but she loves travelling with it even if she can’t use the heated part while on a plane. She did carry the plug and used it when sitting at the gate for the plane to board. Haha. See our Pic!

Listen, this is going to sound weird, but it is July and I am still able to review this and tell you that it’s amazing. I am someone who is perpetually cold. My husband does not seem to care and keeps the air conditioning way lower than I would prefer. So I often find myself freezing while working from home. This comfy little thing allows me to wear it turned on or off, while looking only minimally crazy. I’m 5’4”, 128 pounds and I’d say the fit is oversized on me, so one size fits most is probably accurate. It’s a blanket, so does have some bulk to it but not overly heavy at all. It does heat up relatively quickly, but not super speedy. Overall, this is a nice heated blanket, especially for this price point. I would say if you have anyone like me in your life that’s always cold… They would absolutely love this as a gift. 🙂

I got this for my 90 year old grandma, she’s always cold even in the summer, she usually has a heat pad on her lap.
This throw is super cozy and soft and has easy to use heat settings. The pockets and hood are a great addition and the color is lovely. It’s been great for her and I’m sure it will get even more use this fall and winter.

This is very very soft. It’s like a fluffy sherpa material. It has a hood and 3 snaps. The top snap had to be unsnapped to put it on, so it closes way up around my neck. It has 6 temperature modes. It also has 2, 4, 8, and 10 hour timer settings. I had it turned all the way up tp the 6th temperature mode and immediately I could feel it getting warm. It got so warm and swaddled me like a baby. It’s so soothing and comfortable.

I sit a a computer and often am cold during the winter months. I have a heating pad that helps but it is inconsistent. The area it is on is warm but the rest of me is cold. A lopsided predicament. Electric blankets are too big for what I need so I was amazed when I saw this. It’s perfect. The blanket is soft and the color very pretty. I swear someone got into my head and designed this thing. Bring on the winter!
