How does this blanket compare to the Soft Heat Luxury Micro-Fleece Low-Voltage Electric Heated Blanket without ribs that costs $99.99?

The soft heat ultra micro=plush is the worse heated blanket that I have ever owned - it takes forever to warm and never ever gets very hot - my husband hates it also - he has gotten so use to a much hotter heated blanket to keep him warm during the night that and we purchased this blanket prior to Christmas and it is raveling out terribly. So very disappointed with this purchase and will not ever purchase anything like it again.

I'm not sure how it compares but my wife and I love this blanket. I never turn it hotter than 4 and I'm perfect all night!

I have no basis of comparison to the $99.99 blanket, but we love our micro-fleece. I can't imagine why anyone would want a hotter blanket. I have never turned my side up to more than three, and usually I set it at 1 or forget to turn it on. My husband keeps his side at 4 or 5. The fabric is soft and fine to the touch. We do use a light cotton cover over the top to keep it clean, and surely that helps to keep in the heat. But we always have done this with electric blankets. This blanket is way nicer than any we have had before. /jgh

No. It is super soft, keeps you very warm, and nice and comfy. I highly recommend this blanket. I bought this one and a second one with a dragon on it. Love them both!

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

I honestly don't recall the package specifying the R value. I have answered couple of questions before in re:various aspects of this product and basically I am very satisfied with it My heater sits RIGHT NEXT to my basement door - and I have an old house so that area is far from being 'warm and cozy'. I am not going to tell you whether or not we "saved money" by using this blanket - with the electricity rates going up and down and what-have-you...its not worth my time figuring out that difference. What I CAN tell you is that the difference in the temperature of the hot water was IMMEDIATELY noticed by both my wife and I in the shower and the kitchen (reasonably 2 places the hot water gets used the most). It went up a good couple of degrees, so this blanket must be doing something right hope that helps

Oops! Sorry, I was mistaken. This blanket isn't electric. One that I have that I love is Biddeford which does have the three settings.

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.

You know, I'm not sure. Very sorry, I have thrown all the receipts away. My old electric blanket died, and they don't make them anymore! This works ok, but not like the "old one". I did a lot of research, I think this is the best low voltage one.

Dave this is the response I received from Mambe. I was simply impressed to get an answer. Hope this helps in your decision making process.Thank you for your note. Specific temp ratings are tricky to assign due to the many factors involved when using a blanket outdoors. However, the Super Extreme is often used down into the teens or even lower with great results.

It is soft, but has wires in it like an electric blanket. I would be uncomfortable laying one it. I am not using it because it does not get warm enough for me.

My 13 yr. old daughter runs hot at night with her fan on high but still used this blanket over her. So in not sure how to answer that. It seems like it would be similar to a soft double layer microfiber smooth cover.

The better buy is the "J & M Home Fashions 108-Inch by 90-Inch Fleece Blanket" sold here on Amazon for $19.99 w/free shipping.

No, unless you want soggy fleece. I didn't like this wrap that well because it is too thick and heavy on the neck. I have one now that is slimmer, heats in a minute and the heat lasts a very long time made by Earth Theraputics and costs around $10 plus/minus. I've had a few and eventually the microwave gets wrongly set (when you're overtired or just not being careful of the setting and the stuff inside burns and clumps. Pat p.s. have never seen a microwavable neck wrap that is immersible.

I originally bought the unheated version. I put an old baby blanket in the bottom for comfort and my semi-feral cat took to it immediately. I was hoping she would decide to come indoors as the weather got colder, but no such luck so far so I've since added the heated pad. That means I have to move it to a table on the back porch each night so I can plug it in. I also have a problem with raccoons at night so it works out for that issue too.

I've had it over a year & I love it. It's very soft & comfy.It works better than any electric blanket I've ever had!!

Well, this item is portable whereas an electric blanket is very large and bulky. I use this item at work when the office is a little colder than I like.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

Even though I didn't help you much, I can tell you this:I agree with the other two answers as well, and this for me and my wife has been a superb blanket. It is very, very soft and warms very well and evenly-no hot or cold spots. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.
