Now, after 2 winters we can connect us fully the experience of our predecessor AndreasB. However, we placed from the outset the blanket across the bed, and so is this bescholtene connection box anyway very outside. We have a relatively high mattress and the plug thus drawn all over the mattress edge on the side and have nothing disturbs the sweet, toasty-warm slumber. Only those who really know the difference from cheap products, appreciate the high quality of workmanship and the safety standard of this blanket. Who likes to sleep even at low temperatures with open windows or a cold want to recuperate, is the individually selectable settings for Chill and heating time have been thrilled and knows his money well spent. For us a very clear recommendation !!!
