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

Maybe not quite as hot as a heating pad but I think it's darn close. I haven't used a lot of heating pads, but the blanket gets quite toasty. It feels a bit less intense than a pad because the heat is spread out so much farther, too. The blanket heats fast, too. Just a few moments after turning it on, you can feel the heating elements/cords inside start to get warm. One thing I like about this blanket much more than a heating pad is it's safety feature. Our last heating pad shut off after 20 minutes -- pretty much just as it was getting to a good, hot temperature. Unplugging and replugging it in got old really fast. This blanket turns itself off after 2 hours. That was much better for my needs. Plus, I've never found a heating pad as soft as this. You just want to snuggle up in it's cozy, soft warmth.

My last electric blanket had a preheat setting that allowed a quick heat-up and that was my biggest concern when purchasing this blanket. Don't worry....it warms up beautifully! I turn it on when I am getting ready for bed and it is so toasty when I get in! I love it so much I just ordered another one for my guest room. I hope this helps!

There is no difference. It's the same blanket. MP Surplus in Pinkard, Alabama has this blanket for $24. I bought two of them. Trust me. It's the same blanket. mosur plus.com

REI has the same blanket. Their website says 5X7 feet. From my observation in actual use, that sounds right. Remember that there is no fleece on this thing, despite the picture.

I've never used a emergency blanket so couldn't tell you.. However I can tell you it is pretty thin.looks just like foil but no where near the feel. The sound IS annoying but it works. We use it foil size up, but there is a insert that I noticed says you can use it cloth-ish side up. Makes the same amount of noise. Sorry I didn't have the name of the material. Pretty light though.

It would cost much less than an electric blanket for your bed. I noticed no difference in my electric charges.

this is not an elect blanket but a super warm light weight one. I have 3 now. perfect for our -20 weather we have been having. No fuzz bunnys but the edge seam is starting to give out after a year of constant washing

Hello, I am happy to respond ... The electric spa wrap is smaller than an electric blanket. I love mine as I use it all the time. It is way better than a heating pad as it many ways to place it on the body and wrap your body in it. I hope this helps answer your question.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

I bought this as a gift for my mother. She likes using the unit for extra warmth but I'm not sure about the cost of the extra electricity because it is her unit at her home.

I have used both and had the more expensive one first. It did not heat the lotion as well and if you used more than a few pumps it was cold. It quit working about a year after purchase which prompted me to purchase the lower priced model when I replaced. The lower priced one seems to be much better and keeps all the lotion nice and warm. It is easier to clean and overall I like it better. I use mine in my massage therapy practice so it gets a good workout each day. Overall I am happier with the less expensive model.

Their blankets use between 14 and 18 volts depending upon the model. It has a converter that changes the 120 volts to a safer voltage. All others are 120 volt. It is almost impossible to receive an electrical shock from this low-voltage blanket. That is why I purchased it. When I got it I was amazed at the quality of the fabric. Never any pilling as the old electric blankets. The power consumed is approximately 1 watt - far less than a typical nite lite.

I agree with a prior answer that the primary difference is the fabric itself. The Ultra Micro Plush is knitted with a triple rib pattern that is more attractive and the Luxury microfleece is 'plush' and smooth. I bought the Ultra with the ribbed pattern as a gift for a relative. I felt it looked more expensive and would probably retain its looks longer than the smooth 'plush'.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.

Hey Boni - this elect blanket is the most unique I've ever used! I'm a aged Vermonter who now can't stand the cold... so first time I plugged it in I expected a warmed bed when I got in. That wasn't the case. What really happened was - almost immediately I was warmed by a combination of my own body heat & the blanket's heating system. Now, during cold nights my setting is not much higher than 2... and I'm comfy & cozy. The blanket holds your heat better than any I've ever used. Enjoy!
