What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's 59 x 43 inch size and 58.98"L x 42.99"W dimensions are consistent rounded and precise descriptions. The materials field says "Upgrade Model," while a feature claim describes 200gsm flannel on one side and 180gsm Shu velveteen on the other. Customer feedback reports mixed heating speed and power consumption, including a 54 Watts figure, and durability concerns, but the listing does not provide a wattage specification or reconcile those reports. Confirm the material and electrical details if they are important to your purchase.
