“I purchased the Heated Dual Control Poncho Blanket based on its claim to include 2 Mini 5K Batteries. Instead, I received 2 B22A Batteries (2000 mAh), which are significantly cheaper and less powerful. This is deceptive and disappointing.
Additionally, the heating performance is lackluster. It doesn’t warm nearly as effectively as other heated products I own, including a less expensive poncho that uses only one battery. The blanket struggles to provide sufficient warmth even when using fully charged batteries on the highest setting.
Customer service suggested that my sensitivity to temperature might be the issue, but I find that explanation unsatisfactory, especially given the stark contrast in performance compared to other Ororo products like their Maverick Jacket.
This item fails to deliver on its advertised promises and is not worth the premium price. I cannot recommend this product.”

“My mom ended up staying with us for longer than expected in Alaska (secondary to fall/injury). I got her the heated poncho blanket for her birthday and she said that was the first time she felt truly warm in our damp cold winter weather. She was also able to wear it over her shoulder sling which was a plus. Overall great gift for someone that is cold all the time.”
“Perfect for my needs (use at beach or for passengers in our golf cart on a cold day/night).
PROS: Amazing heat insulation (even without heat turned on). Well made in engineering and in build quality. Easily wearable as a poncho - provides coverage while still allowing mobility.
CONS:
Didn't realize that it required 2 batteries to power the entire thing. (I only purchased one battery)
The battery connector is non USB-C so you have to use a compatible battery. To make this a perfect review, I would have wished the power connector was USB-C so I had option to connect via USB-C power directly (as I can with other cordless heated blankets.)
Other than the battery/power setup, this is a great poncho. love it.”
