Therefore, if you want heat at 6 am, you have to be up at 6 am am on one day to push the button to program it. It also does not have an alphanumeric display for time and temp, just some led's. It can only be set for even temps in F. The Sears can be either F or C in single degree increments. Set times in the Sears only go in 15 min. increments, however. Re: electric blankets. These have the thermostat sown into the blanket fabric. Some of the good ones have more than one. I prefer a down comforter. No danger of shock or fire, and just as light.
