This blanket's controller is junk.....Why did they change from the standard little box controller with the clear dial on top to this? Its too tough to turn it if you have a hard time gripping....if you can't open a jar of preserves or something you got from the store....You will have trouble....Of course the biggest issue for me is the fact the controller goes blinking in about 60 seconds which means there is a malfunction somewhere...So there wont be any heat other than your own bodyheat....So they should have stayed with their original designs.....They would last forever.....The old style were indestructable....this new design though....its built.cheap.....junk.....Its hard to even give this product 1 star....Its been a pretty long time since I had one of their electric blankets....Their quality sure has long since disappeared this thing is the biggest waste of money ever when it comes to a blanket...Especially an electric blanket....Their heating pads have also gotten cheesy-er in terms of design and materials and they don't last as long as they used to....But they work well enough....I thought this electric blanket would have been in that same field but the blanket not only is not built to the standards they used to....the dang blanket most of the time only has one small section near where the chord plugs in at the bottom end of the blanket and it has to be cranked up on high to get it to do that much.....I'm stunned that a well branded company like Sunbeam would build and distribute such poorly built products....and not because they are new companies or new to the product types...But a company that once put out some items which once were top of the line in the industry....They've spiralled backwards...Too often companies take a perfectly good product and then they seem to feel its time to state from square one....Why not keep making the perfectly good products? Thumbs down on this one Sunbeam....
