Review of Sunbeam Royal Nights Electric Heated Warming Heating Blanket

Customer Ratings:

I have had electric blankets since I was a little kid (going on 40 years of Electric blanket use). They use to last 5-10 years. I remember having ones that I'd have year after year! In the last 10 years or so the time they last has gotten less and less. I've always bought Sunbeam blankets, and now, I am in search of a new brand! In the last 5 years I have bought a new blanket EVERY year! It wasn't so bad when I could find them on the clearance rack for $12. But, this last 2 years, that hasn't been the case. The cheapest one I can find is around $44. A blanket needs to last longer than ONE year for that amount of money! Not to mention the landfill waste all these blankets are adding to the environment!!!

This blanket didn't even make it a day! It wouldn't work at all. I tried everything I could think of. The only thing that seemed to work was covering the whole bed with a down blanket to "assist" the Sunbeam blanket in heating up! Only without the assistance, it simply did not warm all over... Near the plug it warm up, and that is about it.

EDIT: I wanted to add that I returned this in all the original packaging to Amazon 3 days after purchase since trying to get it to work wasn't happening. I got my refund! I think if everyone started to return these blankets if they conk out in the first month a message might get through to the Sunbeam Company. I'm off to purchase a Sealy Diamond Electric Blanket to try!

This is my first electric blanket that I have ever purchased. The unit heats up pretty fast. The feet and head areas seem to stay the warmest which I find very beneficial, others may not like this. The unit seems to cycle between on and off but this I assume is standard for electric heating elements. The only aspect of this unit that I do not like was that the material seems to fall apart. I sat on this blanket with a hoodie on and it looked like I had large bunches of lint all over me. For this reason I would suggest going with a more expensive blanket that has either microsuede or something along those lines. I have placed this under a blanket so that I do not get clumps of lint on me. Once I put sheets over the blanket I found this to be a very nice blanket.

Sunbeam Royal Nights Twin Heated Blanket, Seashell

This blanket started to pill immediately. Within two nights, it looked ragged, as though it had been used for years, and I am forever picking up the resulting lint. As well, while the warming coils do a half-decent job, they are bulky and the heat does not seem to distribute evenly. I contacted the manufacturer, and though my message was acknowledged as received, I never got a response. I guess you get what you pay for, as the price was relatively low.

On the flip side, it does enable me to to lower my thermostat at night, decreasing my heating bills. One other positive is that the control is easy to use, silent, and offers 10 heat settings that are easy to change.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Royal Nights Electric Heated Warming Heating Blanket

This electric blanket is working good so far. I like to get my bed warm before I lie down in the wintertime and I shut it off before I fall asleep. When I'm lying in bed reading it keeps me toasty.

I like this heated blanket because it does what I wanted it to do....make my bed warm. The only thing down fault to this blanket is it doesn't have a auto shut off as a safety feature. Otherwise works great!
