The blanket comes in a practical pouch with handle. I put the electric blanket at Level 2 1 hours vor'm go to bed between sheets and duvet and the top piece on the pillow. The ca 2,35m cable length are perfectly adequate for my circumstances. After 1 hour, I take out the blanket and put it to cool at side. The bed has then just the right temperature and the rest is done so then eh body heat. The next morning, simply fold in the foil bag and put in the closet. CONCLUSION: The above 60 watts are sufficient completely and also are more energy efficient than a ceiling with 100 watts at 1 hour running time. I also do not need a shutdown because the bed is warm when I take the blanket out. I am very pleased with the blanket and it can only recommend.
