Toasty warm and cute plaid too!

The main reason that I am writing a review on this item is because it only had 3 stars because some yahoo decided to write the only review - and he hadn't even purchased the item!! I almost overlooked this blanket because it had only scored three stars. At any rate, let me just assure you that you can buy this blanket with confidence. I was looking for a heated travel blanket, but absolutely could not find one in stores this winter. I took a chance on this blanket, and am very happy with it. The blanket is a lovely, soft, snuggly fleece material. It is a cute black and red plaid. It is a larger size than some of the other electric travel blankets. The plug has a green light that shows you when it is plugged in and on. It is nice because it has an automatic shut off timer on the on/off switch. It does not instantly heat up, but most full sized electric blankets do not do this anyhow either. When the blanket gets going, it provides a wonderful noticeable heat. The only downside is that it is not machine washable - only spot clean. I did not find any of the travel electric blankets that were machine washable though, so this is pretty much par for the course. I think that you may be able to hand wash the blanket as long as the 12 volt plug is covered and kept out of the water (my opinion only of course). The only reason I think this is from my prior experience with traditional electric blankets. You can machine wash those blankets, but it is because the electric plug disconnects. These travel blankets don't have a plug that disconnects... therefore the direction to spot clean only.

Was really nice, but failed after 2 days of use.

I bought this for a 4x4 camping trip in Death Valley this winter, to keep the other half warm and happy in our camping van. I have ample battery capacity to run the blanket all night, and a battery disconnect so that the starter battery wouldn't be drained by the blanket. It worked great for the first two nights, but halfway through the second night, it suddenly stopped working in the middle of the night. It never did start working again. The red light on the cigarette lighter lights up, and when pressing the button on the control box, you can hear the relay click on, but the blanket just does not generate any heat. A real disappointment. Also, as a side note, the blanket is designed with an auto off timer. It turns itself off automatically every 30 or 45 minutes, depending on how you set a switch. My plan had been to set the other half up with the blanket, and if she woke up cold in the middle of the night, she could bump the blanket for a bit of heat. When it did work, it worked really nicely, though. The power cord is nice and long; it was able to (just barely) reach the bed at the back of my standard length ford cargo van. The blanket has a nice texture, didn't feel cheap, and also the electronic part of it didn't feel too obtrusive. If the blanket had worked out, I was intending to put in a new cigarette lighter in the sleeping area for it.
