Review on Degrees Of Comfort Advanced Micro Plush Electric Blanket - Full Size Single Control, Auto Shut Off, Machine Washable - UL Certified - Grey, 80x84 by Timothy Schroeder

Revainrating 1 out of 5

So many 5 star reviews for my 1 star rating

This blanket's "ratings" were "softness", "light weight" and "comfort". For those features I would give it 5 stars but I refuse to make it official because it makes you look good. This is because there is one major flaw in this blanket, an issue I have not seen in anyone else. Since it's a dual controller, one controller heats one side and the other controller obviously heats the other side, like my electric blanket. The problem is that the heating coils in this blanket do not fit in the center. That is, in the middle there is a strip of ceiling about 20 cm wide, which does not get hot at all. So you have both sides of the bed heated exactly where you want it, but that strip down the middle leaves that part of the bed icy. As long as you don't turn around and end up in a cold place, no problem. But the cold band in the middle is THAT wide? Whose stupid technical idea is this? I would still give the blanket a higher rating if it weren't for the company's answer to my question. They gave me the same old standard instructions that come with a blanket, the generic answer they would give anyone about any problem. I see this a lot with Revain products - the seller often responds to bad reviews with the same old cheesy message they give everyone else, without even acknowledging your special beef with the product. SELLER: Please do us all a favor: you would be better off NOT responding to customer complaints if you gave everyone the same general standard instructions. Just copying and pasting the same junk for a bunch of complaints covering a variety of topics just makes you look stupid, and we're not at all inclined to ever buy your junk again. I would go somewhere else. But since I don't have the money I will definitely leave a negative review and hopefully influence at least one person NOT to buy this weird blanket. Thanks very much!
