Does the Yakee heated blanket shut off automatically?

No. It has no auto-off timer, so you have to switch it off yourself. Rivals such as Sunbeam include automatic shutoff.

Can I wash it in a machine?

Yes, the blanket is machine washable. Detach the controller and cord first and follow the care label for water temperature and drying.

What sizes does it come in?

It is sold in Twin, Full and King. Check the size chart, since the heated area may be smaller than the blanket's overall dimensions.

Does it have dual controls for two sleepers?

No. It uses a single controller, so both sides get the same setting. Couples who want separate temperatures should look at dual-zone blankets.

How many heat settings does it have?

It offers a small number of heat levels through a dial or button controller. There is no separate preheat mode.

Is it worth choosing over a Sunbeam blanket?

Pick the Yakee if you want a soft fleece blanket at a low cost. Choose Sunbeam if you need a timer, dual zones or a longer warranty.

Our take on the Yakee Electric Heated Blanket

The Yakee Electric Heated Blanket is a fleece electric blanket sold in Twin, Full and King sizes, with machine-washable fabric. It competes with Sunbeam and Beautyrest blankets on warmth and price rather than on features: it has no auto-off timer or dual-zone controls that better-known rivals offer. Owners like the soft fleece and quick warmth, but ratings sit at 3.7 out of 5, with complaints about uneven heat and short lifespan. It suits budget-minded shoppers who want a simple warm blanket for a bed or sofa.
