Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am revising my review on this item after using it for about 8 weeks. The blanket is soft and comfortable. It was originally nice and warm on setting 5 and it stayed warm for most of the night, 7 or 8 hours. Now I need to turn the dial to the maximum setting 10 to get much warmth. And it only stays warm for about 3 hours and then loses most of the heat. Also it seems that about half the heating elements are no longer working. They don't warm up at all in some places which makes the overall warmth inconsistent. There is some warmth on one edge of the blanket but not much on the other edge. And there is very little warmth in the center. I have to get up 2 or 3 times at night, turn it off for about 10 minutes, then turn it on again to get it to reheat.
