I am on my second Sunbeam electric blanket this Winter and it is doing
the same thing as the first one I had-- starts off for a couple of weeks
working correctly, then spends a week getting weaker and weaker where I
have to turn up the controller all the way and even then the heating is
uneven and weak. I was going to return this one too, but before I do, I
wanted to ask if anyone knew of a solution to repair this? Almost seems
like there is a circuit issue somewhere, maybe in the controller, but
who knows. If it were a cheap repair, I'd just keep the blanket after
the low cost repeatable fix. Thank you.

PS: I can't think that they're making that much money on these. I read
the reviews and *many* folks are having similar issues. If a solution
isn't found for the above, I'd appreciate recommendations for a brand/
model that will last. This definitely isn't like the blanket I had
while growing up 25 years ago; that one lasted for 15 years with no
issues.
