The Pros are that the throw is a nice size for one person to get under. I am 5'10" and there is plenty of room. It is also made of nice plush material. It is soft and flexible even with the heating wires running through it. The controls are easy to use and there is a 3 hour cut off timer in case you fall asleep with it on. The cord is a nice length at close to 9 feet long.
The Cons are that I purchased two and one didn't work at all. The second one (that I had given my mom) stopped working within the first month. I offered to return it to Amazon for a refund but my Mom had fallen in love with how comfortable it was and said it was the perfect size. She is going to call Sunbeam for a replacement.
I was planning on purchasing more for Christmas presents when the price dropped back down to the $20 I had orginally purchased them for. I decided not to risk it because I am concerned with the reliability of these. I do not want to buy them early and have their warranty running while they rest in their box.
I am giving them three stars for their comfort and practical size. I am leaving two stars off because they are not as reliable as I had hoped for. I may try to buy them later in the year to see if their quality control has improved. They would make excellent gifts.
UPDATE:
It has been 6 months since I returned the first throws I purchased. I wanted to try it again. The new throw stopped working within the first month. I was disappointed and returned it. I stumbled over another Sunbeam heated throw Sunbeam Royal Elegance Microplush Throw, Eggplant and ordered that one. I purchased the Royal Elegance Microplush Throw for $15.00 from Amazon which is $5.00 cheaper than I purchased the Sunbeam Camelot Cuddler Microplush Throw.
I received the Sunbeam Royal Elegance Microplush Throw, Eggplant and compared it to Sunbeam Camelot Cuddler Microplush Throw, Walnut. The blankets are exactly the same. The controllers are different. The Sunbeam Royal Elegance Microplush Throw, Eggplant controller has the cords coming and going out of the bottom which shortens the overall length of the cord by about 9 inches. The controller fits in my hand better and doesn't slip like the long grey controller of Sunbeam Camelot Cuddler Microplush Throw, Walnut. The big difference is that the Sunbeam Royal Elegance Microplush Throw, Eggplant actually works. I assume the controller was the weak link. If you don't mind loosing about 9 inches of cord length, paying $5 less, having a comfortable controller and having a heated throw that works then I would go with the Sunbeam Royal Elegance Microplush Throw, Eggplant instead of theSunbeam Camelot Cuddler Microplush Throw, Walnut.
Another thing to note is the prices of both throws go up and down through out the year. I have seen them as low as $15 and as high as $55 for the same items.

This heated throw is absolutely perfect for cold Minnesota nights. It is warm and snuggly just as it is, and when it is turned on, it is nothing short of heavenly! I had one of these years ago, but it wasn't nearly as plush or soft as this one is. It isn't intended to be used as a heating pad. It is a warming throw blanket for burrowing in to keep you warm and toasty, lessening the impulse to crank up the furnace. This easily takes the chill out of a winter night with even warmth surrounding you in luxurious, plush, softness. It's one of my favorite things!Best Deals on Sunbeam Camelot Cuddler Microplush Throw
This is a nice warm throw .. just right to keep you toasty warm while watching TV or reading the latest Book. The low temp is more then enough to keep you comfortable. The blanket is soft and fluffy.. and the product is washable . It is Long enough to more then cover all your vital parts. and still be able to lay down.I got this as I live in Florida and after the temps drop to the mid 30's our heat pumps no longer put out HEAT and it gets mighty cold without any warm heat. This is just right.. I don't' have to heat a huge house just to keep me warm. A nice savings for me and my electric bill for sure.
It has a 3 hr timer so you won't over cook your self.. and as I said the low temp is more then enough to keep you very comfortable.
Pleased and WARM.¢¾!¢¾.
