Useless Electric Blanket

I'm getting really tired of ****py appliances that come with a lot of promises, a good name, and ultimately a product that falls apart. Bennet Read seems to have joined this club. Bought a pricey electric blanket for a family member with muscle issues (the warmth helps) but the blanket broke after 12 days of use. This is unacceptable. My advice is to take your money and buy traditional blankets instead--at least they don't break.
