    Thank you so much! I get so nervous when it comes to washing these types of things. For extra security I’m using rubber bands and plastic wrap to make sure NO water gets near the cord plug in. from experience, you sometimes don’t know something is loose or cracked till you do something like this.

    Thanks. To be honest, whilst electric blankets are a fantastic invention for cold weather when it comes to cleaning them, this has probably been the biggest manufacturing oversight in them and if someone could come up with something as a standard for all of them that would make washing them it a piece of cake, they would make a fortune because as you said yourself, water and electricity don't mix so one would have thought that the makers would have come up with a much better way of allowing users to wash them safely without having to employ too much thought behind it.
    I mean, yes, with a bit of common sense, it will be fine but really, something like this ought to be made idiot-proof due to the health and safety element of them, we are talking about an electrical product here all said and done. They shouldn't presume that everyone in the population is smart enough to work these things out and it's not even just about being smart, even someone intelligent could make the understandable mistake of thinking that this has already been factored in by the makers and they might just go ahead and wash it without thinking they need to take any precautions. Best wishes.

I explained to her that you have to have a 3rd hand to try and hold the long side clips and another to try and pull... I asked her if SUNBEAN have a video that would SHOW ME how to disconnect it. She insisted on reading off a piece of paper in her presence. I asked her again..she would not answer the question. NOW I understand, by reading alot of reviews that it Really has to be hand washed.

      @@loveu8910 Hm... I think you might be onto something. A lot of human nature is people like to take shortcuts. And sometimes people don't care to wait. They know they take risks and still do knowing it can have consequences. I can only hypothesize that this might be why some people can get them to last a long time, but some others only get a month or 2 out of them.
