Ordered this one for a friend but im basing this review on a previous sauna blanket I purchased from the same manufacturer. It worked amazingly for about 6 months only then it had no power after that so i thought it died and left it there without use for about 2 months I eventually did my research and figured it was just a burnt out fuse at the power supply. Changed it out and worked like new. See pictures!We purchased this product after ordering Higher Logic's Infrared Sauna Bag, which at the time was backordered and took a number of months to receive. This bag as great at first, but has not held up well. After just over 90 days of having the item the stitching connecting the bag to the zipper has come undone and now the item is no longer safe to be used. We had told a number of people to buy this item, and several did as we told them it was a much more affordable version of the Higher Logic bag. However, after a few months of use I can say that the Higher Logic bag is much hotter, holds temp much better, and despite being more difficult to open/clean, is made much better than this bag. Maybe we got a defective one, but only time will tell. I hope those who have purchased on account of us do not have the same issue. In the event they do I will try and come back to update this review.I like the sweat I get out of this blanket (but it is a bit claustrophobia-inducing) . I can sit in a normal dry sauna for only 15 minutes, my skin gets hot and I feel dehydrated and tired. With the IR blanket, I can stay 35 minutes and I sweat so much more, but I don't feel like I'm going to get a heat injury and I'm still hydrated. You do get hot ... but not like being in the sauna.Good quality . The blankets zip up well and are good Quality. It took a little bit for me to understand instructions.Great to use for detoxing and promoting weight loss. It's important to use regularly s couple times a week and be well hydrated for optimal results. It does get hot as H E double hockey sticks.I go to the infrared sauna regularly so this was a no brainer. I love this blanket...I did not receive a remote with mine, but nevertheless it does what it is meant to do. I feel amazing about my using my blanket. I will read, meditate, listen to audio book, or watch tv while in mine. When I was sick in March I used it everyday & it helped me heal faster. I highly recommend.Just used for the first time. I’m an avid sauna user so I was a little skeptical as to whether or not I would be satisfied, but it’s awesome! It heats very very fast!wow feeling totally taken advantage of by this product. I initially wrote a 5 star review but that is No Longer the case. Im at zero stars now.Bought the end of November and as of tonight on January 15th the product no longer works. It started shutting itself off about a week in when I tired to turn it up above a certain temp. As of last night (Jan 15th) the on off switch is frozen and dead. If I try to pry it on it short circuits. I am beyond disappointed that I spent over $130 on something that only worked properly for less than 2 months.Save your money, this is a scam!!!I read a bunch of reviews stating that this product stops working a few months after purchase but i wasn’t smart enough to listen.Beyond upset right now as I was using it 7 nights a week for pain relief and bragging to all of my friends that they should get one. I even convinced one of my friends to buy this exact one one for her husband for Christmas.I look like an idiot.Currently going through the process of having to send a 14lb item back to amazon via UPS for a refund.
