But I really liked the look of the set and decided to take the plunge after reviewing the seller's return policy. I purchased the blue set in queen. <br /><br />PROS:<br />1. Everything except the sheets and pillowcases are reversable, so the combinations are endless!<br />2. The product is as described. In my room, it looks like it did in the picture.<br />3. The sheets are soft; feels nice to the touch.<br />4. The comforter is a large sized queen, allowing it to drape the bed nicely as opposed to other comforters I've owned that just look too short on the bed. It is also thick and fluffy, which I like in my comforters.<br />5. I was skeptical of the tuck-under bedskirt as I have never owned one before. But it has been on my bed for 2 weeks and I haven't felt the need to adjust it yet. And upon further reflection, adjustments to this will be much simpler than the traditional bedskirt where the whole mattress would need to be lifted.<br />6. The price!!! Sometimes the "sale" price on Amazon is similar to regular prices you find elsewhere online. But I really did see this exact same set on other websites for $199. <br />7. My experience with this seller exceeded my expectations.<br /><br />CONS:<br />1. The comforter will not fit into my large capacity washing machine. <br />2. Inclusion of an extra set of sheets would be nice.<br /><br />My ideal rating would be 4.5 stars, but I went with 5. I feel like the cons are easily outweighed by the pros and do not justify a full star reduction. I can make alternate arrangements to wash the comforter, and baby blue sheets shouldn't be too difficult to find. And with the stripes and wide array of colors, I imagine that I can easily find a different color of sheets that would also match and make even more combinations out of the set!

The absence of the bulky, lumpy wires is wonderful. The blanket itself is very warm and I have not been able to get past the low setting because of the efficiency of heating. For me anything above the low setting makes me sweat. My wife, who with past electric blankets would crank it up to the highest setting has not needed to go above the "4" setting on this blanket. Without a doubt, this is an excellent choice and well worth the money! Having owned this blanket for approximately 2 months I can say that it is by far the best warming blanket I have owned.

Very pleased with the softness and easy funtion control. It washed up nicely after a new kitty found it to be her favorite blanket too. This is the best heating blanket I have ever owned.

I was excited to receive it and when I opened the package, I couldn't believe it - where are the wires?! I was amazed, but then I wondered - can it really heat up? So many people complain about other blankets not getting hot enough. They often complain that we now have "warming blankets", not meant to "heat" the bed, but just to take the chill off. Well, I can tell you this much - you get into bed and the first 10 seconds you think, "Is this on?" Then, in 15 seconds, you say "hmm, I'm getting warm." Shortly thereafter you say, "A little toasty - and only on 6!" Finally, the last comment is, "Ok, turning it down now." I am impressed and I am not an easy person to impress. Frankly, if it only lasts one or two seasons, it will have paid for itself. It is lightweight, super-soft, fluffy (not cheap and thin like others), very warm, near wireless, and best of all, I don't have to pile on additional blankets during the night. Oh, and another thing... I have seen some reviewers complain about the two plug-ins for a king (which I have). NOT a big deal. No idea what the fuss is about. I ran the wires underneath the mattress and plugged in on either side of the bed. Worked out great (if you don't have enought outlets, get a 3-way adapter - it's $3! - or an extension cord).
