Works very well; exactly as pictured
Since Amazon tends to combine reviews from different products, this review is for "Sunbeam Microplush Heated Blanket with ComfortTech Controller." In the "most helpful" reviews there seems to be conflicting information, so as of December 2015 anyway the product is exactly as pictured with the LED box controller (I purchased the Full size, so only one controller). There are 10, not 20, heat settings on the version I got, which matches the description. Complete instructions were included, including how to troubleshoot the 'F' error code. There is a Preheat button (as pictured) which heats the blanket for 30 minutes (on high heat I think) and then it reverts to your selected heat level. The blanket has a 10-hour shut-off which cannot be changed or disabled.
In our short test (66F indoors), the blanket is plenty warm on a setting of "4". We bought this for RV camping in sub-freezing temperatures, when the interior of the RV might be 60-65F. Maybe we'd have to push it to "5" in that case. I can't imagine using it on a setting of "H" (high; the lowest level is "L").
The fabric is soft, but not what I would call "plush" really. Like all electric blankets, it's fairly thin so the heating element doesn't have to work through 1/4" of fabric or filler. The wires are plainly felt, but not obtrusive, and the blanket is very flexible. Placed on a bed over a thin normal blanket you wouldn't even notice the wires.
