Why we love this deal

Some of us thought the worst of the winter weather was already in the rearview mirror, but Mother Nature had other ideas. Right now, much of the country has slowed to a crawl as snow, ice, and biting winds turn the roads to frigid, dangerous wastes. Schools are calling for cancellations, package deliveries are getting delayed, and you might even be wondering how you're going to make it back out to the grocery store to stock up on comfort foods and hot caffeinated beverages to get you through this cold spell. Fortunately, Amazon has your back with all kinds of must-have grocery items and winter essentials.

If you've got a space heater and plenty of coffee but still can't seem to keep warm, you might consider investing in something like the JKMax Heated Blanket. Normally priced at $60, it can be yours for just $34 thanks to a limited-time deal. That's a 43% discount, or a savings of $26. And hundreds of reviewers absolutely adore it.

Why do shoppers love it?

This 3D-textured sherpa blanket has a fabric weight of 220 grams per square meter, though its heating wire is a mere 2.2 millimeters in diameter, making this an unbelievably comfortable option. With 10 temperature settings, you can adjust the heating element from 86 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on how much extra warmth you need to stay comfortable. The blanket also has a timer and automatic shutdown, so it's also very safe and energy-efficient for regular use in even the coldest of winters.

It has passed UL 964 safety tests for quality construction, flame resistance, insulation, and electrical standards, as well, so you have several great reasons to feel peace of mind when you opt for this particular blanket over one of the many comparable options out there. The JKMax comes in plenty of colors and sizes to suit your needs, and you can easily clean it by removing the corded controller and putting the rest of the blanket in the washing machine. The manufacturer recommends air drying it.

"I looked at a large number of electric blankets before deciding on this one, which was a gift for my wife, and we both love it," said one shopper. "It heats up very quickly, and having dual controls is great; she can set her side to be warmer. Having the timer is also a nice feature, and the blanket itself has an extremely soft, fluffy texture to it. We have this on top of our top sheet and beneath a quilt, but I often remove the quilt at night because I get too warm. So far, this is a great product."
