This year’s Black Friday deals have been underway for most of the month already, but we’re about to hit the peak of the end-of-year sales season. The Amazon sale starts on Thursday, while countless other retailers such as Argos, AO, Currys, and Very are set to drop even more early deals from Wednesday, so this is the week to pull the trigger on any purchases you’ve been thinking about.

I’m here to help you find all of the best Black Friday deals, bringing my decade of experience hunting for bargains and covering all the biggest sales events of the year. I’ve looked through the top shopping destinations to bring you my top picks of the offers across TVs, laptops, appliances, phones, gaming, smartwatches, headphones, and more.

Dozens of major brands all feature in the Black Friday sales, too, such as Ninja, Shark, Dyson, Samsung, Nintendo, Apple, Lego, and more. So, I’ve also picked out some deals on their products that are recommended by myself and the expert TechRadar team as amazing value for money and quality items.

It’s also worth pointing out that many stores offer a price match guarantee for the Black Friday sales, meaning if a product you’ve bought goes cheaper, you can get a refund for the difference. I’ve highlighted that where it’s available. Extended returns are also available – where advertised – to give even further peace of mind to early shoppers.

Now you know that, do have a browse through all the best Black Friday deals below. I’ll spotlight more standouts in my live coverage throughout the week and share any hidden offers I spot that are worth your attention.

The 10 best Black Friday deals

Display – 15.6 inches
Processor – AMD Ryzen 5
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 512GB

Here’s what I think is the best cheap laptop deal in the Black Friday sales so far. It’s an older machine, but there’s no denying it’s packed with some excellent performance components for the price, including a Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. It’s rare to see anything like this at this price point, so it’s a great buy if you want a solid laptop with decent battery life for everyday use, work or school.View Deal

Ninja’s space-saving air fryer has already got an excellent discount ahead of Black Friday. We love the popular and well-rated appliance at TechRadar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even giving it a place in our best air fryer buying guide. Well-built and great-looking on any countertop, it offers five cooking levels across two drawers and two racks, while the large 9.5L capacity is ideal for large families.View Deal

Kindle’s first-ever colour ereader is a perfect fit for anyone who loves a good graphic novel or comic. Obviously, it’s fine for a traditional book, too. As well as a brilliant display, the ereader lasts up to eight weeks on a single charge. That means even though this bundle comes with an adaptor, you won’t need to reach for it very often. The plant-based cover is another great reason to go with this bundle deal.View Deal

As the successor to the excellent LG B4, the B5 is one of the best cheap OLED TVs you can buy. This 55-inch model sits in the ideal middle ground between size and affordability, offering a good option for most spaces and room sizes. Picture quality is excellent, with impressive brightness, strong contrast, and rich blacks for general viewing, while the gaming features are top-tier for a smooth and responsive experience on PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox consoles.View Deal

These have been some of the most surprising earbuds we’ve ever tested, scoring a sweet five stars in our Nothing Ear (a) review – and now you can get them for their lowest price ever. Considering the latest AirPods are still around £100, the fact that these offer massively superior sound and great active noise cancellation for far less than AirPods makes them a no-brainer.View Deal

Shark’s best-selling steam mop is down to a fantastic low price at Amazon for Black Friday. This lightweight and easy-to-use steam mop cleans hard floors with ease, ensuring they remain bacteria-free without the need for harsh chemicals and clear of tough stains without the need for harsh scrubbing.View Deal

The Philips OneBlade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that’s suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. This best-selling bundle contains the handle, as well as two spare blades, three stubble combs, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable for a great low price.View Deal

The G50 is very budget-friendly even at full price, but now it’s even more so thanks to this early Black Friday deal, which takes it under £100. A maximum suction of 4,000Pa is extremely good for the price, and the onboard bin is surprisingly generously sized at 600ml. For this price, expect basic navigation and a design suited to general whole-home cleans rather than anything more specific. Although we haven’t reviewed this specific model yet, we generally rate Eufy highly as a brand, and the value for money is impressive.View Deal

The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B’s range of electric toothbrushes, but this is a decent deal on the entry-level option that’s also bundled with a few handy extras. It doesn’t boast many high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get a second brush head, a refill holder, a charger pouch, and a travel case included for free.View Deal

If you know someone who is crafty and doesn’t already own a Cricut machine, then here’s an excellent price for a Cricut Joy Xtra bundle. Whether it’s making stickers, labels, T-shirts, cards or more, you can get perfect, professional-looking results from a machine that’s about the size of a loaf of bread. Fellow TR writer Philip Berne is a huge fan of his, so this is a great time to pick one up at a discount. AO members can also get an extra £20 off.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Appliances

Another sales event, another chance for me to shout out an offer on an excellent and affordable vacuum cleaner that we awarded 4.5 stars out of five in our Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner review. I can’t praise these vacuums enough for the Anti-Hair Wrap tech that has saved me so much time unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum. Flexology tech makes it a good option for reaching under furniture and this upgraded Stratos version boasts anti-odour tech and CleanSense IQ that automatically adjusts suction power to tackle tougher areas of dirt. On top of all that, battery life is an impressive 50 minutes.View Deal

There’s a slightly cheaper Dyson V8 available at Amazon, but for an extra £10 I’d go for this Absolute version that comes with all the attachments you could need to keep your home clean. Not only is this one of the top cheap vacuums, but it’s also one of the best Dyson vacuums – period. It’s a little older now, but this is still a more-than-capable vacuum and comes with a couple of essential attachments for cleaning around the home. Given its age and basic features, it’s a struggle to recommend it at its full price, but now that it’s discounted so heavily at Very, it’s an easy recommendation.View Deal

Shark’s best-selling steam mop is down to a fantastic low price at Amazon for Black Friday. This lightweight and easy-to-use steam mop cleans hard floors with ease, ensuring they remain bacteria-free without the need for harsh chemicals and clear of tough stains without the need for harsh scrubbing.View Deal

For homes where small spills and stains are a regular problem, this Vax SpotWash Duo could be a smart buy while it’s £60 off at Amazon. You get a handful of useful attachments included to tackle different types of problems and pet messes, as well as a small bottle of cleaning solution to get you started.View Deal

The G50 is very budget-friendly even at full price, but now it’s even more so thanks to this early Black Friday deal, which takes it under £100. A maximum suction of 4,000Pa is extremely good for the price, and the onboard bin is surprisingly generously sized at 600ml. For this price, expect basic navigation and a design suited to general whole-home cleans rather than anything more specific. Although we haven’t reviewed this specific model yet, we generally rate Eufy highly as a brand, and the value for money is impressive.View Deal

Ninja’s space-saving air fryer has already got an excellent discount ahead of Black Friday. We love the popular and well-rated appliance at TechRadar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even giving it a place in our best air fryer buying guide. Well-built and great-looking on any countertop, it offers five cooking levels across two drawers and two racks, while the large 9.5L capacity is ideal for large families.View Deal

Currys has this best-selling Ninja appliance down to its record-low price as an early Black Friday deal. This extremely popular and best-selling air fryer is essentially a larger version of one we awarded five stars in our Ninja AF300UK review. It has six easy-to-use cooking functions and a large 9.5L capacity dual drawer setup, which can cook separate foods and sync timers to finish simultaneously.View Deal

The Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Air Fryer offers everything you need for family or batch cooking – and it’s currently down to a great price on Very. It has an extra-large 10.4L drawer (or MegaZone, as Ninja likes to call it), which can be turned into two independent cooking zones. You can fit a 2kg chicken or 1.5kg of fries in each zone with a choice of seven cooking functions, so it’s ideal for everyday cooking to dinner party dining.View Deal

One of the best budget air fryer deals available at Amazon right now is this heavily reduced Tefal Easy Fry. It’s a decent-sized 8.3L model that’s almost at the same price as smaller 5-litre options I’ve seen at other retailers. We haven’t personally reviewed this model at TechRadar but it’s from a trusted brand and down to the lowest price ever for Black Friday.View Deal

Promising simplicity of use, the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo has a straightforward touch control panel that allows you to brew your favourite cup of coffee with the minimum amount of effort. It also has a silent integrated grinder with 13 settings, plus a handy milk frother, so it’s a good all-in-one solution for those who love a cup of joe but want to skip all the faff of making the drink. We liked it enough in our De’Longhi Magnifica Evo review, in which we awarded it four stars out of five.View Deal

This fabulous bean-to-cup coffee machine received 4.5 stars in our review because we loved the way it gives you total control over the brewing process. It’s much more transparent than most similar machines, letting you easily tweak the grind size, temperature, and extraction time. With over £100 off, this is one of the best prices I’ve seen for the excellent coffee maker, though AO members can also get an extra £25 saving to bring it down to a record-low price.View Deal

I’m a little tempted by the £20 price reduction on this well-scoring blender. While it can’t chop ice, it creates velvety smoothies out of fresh and frozen fruits hassle-free. On top of this, the build quality and performance impressed us, and the fact that it’s even cheaper than it was on Black Friday makes this an even sweeter deal.View Deal

The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is Ninja’s best-selling personal-sized blender for smoothies, slushies, and shakes. It comes with a USB-rechargeable base, so you don’t need to swap batteries every few months, and a leakproof lid with a carrying handle. Its convenient, grab-and-go design stood out to our reviewer, who gave it four out of five stars. This handy kitchen gadget has been a little cheaper than this in the past, but today’s offer is still decent if you don’t want to wait for potential further price cuts later this month.View Deal

The unique Ninja Slushi just got its biggest discount yet in Amazon’s early Black Friday deals. This kitchen appliance makes all sorts of chilled and frozen drinks, including juices, cocktails, milkshakes, and more. We loved it in our Ninja Slushi review, praising its ability to make quick and delicious drinks easily in a fun and entertaining package.View Deal

KitchenAid is a mainstay in the Bake Off tent and still the leader when it comes to high-quality stand mixers – but they do come with a hefty upfront cost. This small discount on the premium Artisan model takes the sting out a little, though. It comes with a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for mixing, kneading and beating – everything the amateur or intermediate baker needs for the kitchen.View Deal

If you’re after an affordable entry-level pressure washer, then you should check out this £79 saving on the Karcher K2 at Argos. This bundle also includes a home kit with an extra surface cleaner attachment and some detergent for use on your patio or deck.View Deal

You can save £25 on the Karcher WV2 in the Currys Black Friday, bringing down the basic window vac to under £45. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery boasts a 35-minute run time, which equals about 105m² on a single charge. That’s more than enough to do a small home or flat multiple times over.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Televisions

Obviously, this Toshiba TV isn’t the most powerful or highest quality display out there. However, it is incredibly cheap. So, if you need a very basic TV for the bedroom, kitchen or a kid’s room for streaming shows and movies, then this is up to the job and doesn’t cost much at all. Just don’t expect a fantastic image or super-fast performance.View Deal

If you’re looking for a small-sized budget display, you can’t get much better than this Hisense 43-inch 4K TV that’s on sale for £219 at Currys. The Hisense A6Q sports 4K Ultra HD resolution support, a direct-lit LED array for respectable brightness and contrast, and Dolby Vision HDR for superior colours. Access to all of your favourite streaming apps is just a button press away, too. All of this for a little over £200? Bargain.View Deal

Another good low price for a basic TV here. This time, it’s a 50-inch display from LG, which offers 4K resolution support and an easy-to-use interface for accessing all the major streaming apps. You can expect competent yet not exceptional image quality and performance, but that may be all you need for general everyday viewing – especially at this price of under £300.View Deal

TCL is a top budget TV manufacturer and this V6C is a solid set for the price if you want a good all-around mid-range display that supports the high-end 4K resolution for super-sharp picture quality. It has the excellent Google TV interface built in as well, for smooth and easy access to all of the top streaming apps.View Deal

Here’s a quality and good value big screen TV from Hisense. The QLED displays ensure vibrant colours and excellent brightness, even in a brighter room, while 4K resolution support gives you top-tier picture quality. As far as large TVs go, this is one of the better options I’ve spotted in the early Black Friday sales that balances price and features really well if you’re on a tighter budget.View Deal

This deal knocks a solid £300 off the Hisense U7Q Mini-LED TV, which brings the TV with a lot to offer down to a record-low price. The U7Q supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus formats for more vivid colours and a sharper image, while 4K 144Hz and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro are available for smooth and responsive gaming. There aren’t many TVs on the market that come with these features at this kind of price point, so this is a deal worth checking out. View Deal

If you want your TV to blend into the environment when it’s not in use, then you’ll want to check out this deal on the latest version of Samsung’s The Frame display. With a stylish design and bezel, it disguises itself well as any other picture, and can even display your own chosen art or photos. It’s solid as a TV, too, with a bright and colourful picture that’s best suited to shows and movies. For a gaming TV, though, I’d look elsewhere.View Deal

As the successor to the excellent LG B4, the B5 is one of the best cheap OLED TVs you can buy. This 55-inch model sits in the ideal middle ground between size and affordability, offering a good option for most spaces and room sizes. Picture quality is excellent, with impressive brightness, strong contrast, and rich blacks for general viewing, while the gaming features are top-tier for a smooth and responsive experience on PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox consoles.View Deal

LG has been crushing it in the world of TVs over the last few years, and its latest C5 is another strong contender for one of the best OLED TVs you can buy right now. This latest version boasts the same fantastic contrast, rich blacks, impressive brightness and vivid colours of previous models in the range, making it ideal for all sorts of viewing. It’s also a top TV for PS5 and Xbox Series X, with support for a 120Hz refresh rates and minimal input lag to get the smoothest and most responsive gaming experience.View Deal

For one of the very best OLED TVs you can buy right now, consider this £900 saving on the Samsung S90F 65-inch OLED TV. A recipient of a five-star rating in our Samsung S90F review, we praised this display’s outstanding picture quality, handy gaming features, and terrific value for money. Altogether, it’s a brilliant TV to buy if you’ve still got some cash to splash on a big and brilliant brand-new display.View Deal

The latest version of Sony’s Bravia 8 is an incredible OLED TV that boasts some of the best picture quality to date, according to our review. The display was only released this year and this is the biggest discount yet. Sure, it’s still quite the investment, but you do get a picture quality that’s bright, vivid, and detailed, with strong in-built sound as well. It’s perhaps not the best pick for gamers, though, given it lacks some features compared to the competition.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Laptops

Display: 14 inches
Processor: Intel Celeron N4500
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 64GB

I want to be clear that this is far from the best laptop you can buy, but I can’t deny that it’s incredibly cheap. The spec is incredibly low-end, with an entry-level processor, only 4GB of RAM and a small 64GB hard drive. At least it’s a Chromebook, which can get more from weaker components, but this is only a good buy if you want to spend very little money on a very basic machine for infrequent, light use.View Deal

This version of the Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook offers an impressive amount of power for the price. It includes a very basic Intel Celeron processor, but you do get 8GB of RAM to boost performance, boot times and load times. There’s also 128GB of storage and battery life is a solid 10 hours on a single charge. That’s more than enough to last a full working day. At under £200, it’s a bargain for school or college, or just as a home laptop that you use for light use and everyday tasks.

Display – 14 inches
Processor Intel Celeron
RAM – 8GB
Storage – 128GBView Deal

This Asus CM14 Flip Chromebook isn’t incredibly powerful, but it’s fine for light use. You also get the added versatility to flip the 14-inch display around to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. There’s an impressive 14 hours of battery life, too.View Deal

Display – 15.6 inches
Processor – Intel Core i3
RAM – 8GB
Storage – 512GB

If you want a good value Windows laptop, then this configuration of the Asus Vivobook Go is a solid buy. It features an entry-level Intel i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and a large 512GB SSD to ensure good performance for general use and a surprisingly large amount of speedy storage for the price. It’s a top buy right now if you’re on a budget and need a basic laptop for everyday use, admin tasks and light work.View Deal

Display – 15.6 inches
Processor – AMD Ryzen 5
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 512GB

Here’s what I think is the best cheap laptop deal in the Black Friday sales so far. It’s an older machine, but there’s no denying it’s packed with some excellent performance components for the price, including a Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. It’s rare to see anything like this at this price point, so it’s a great buy if you want a solid laptop with decent battery life for everyday use, work or school.View Deal

Display – 14 inches
Processor – Snapdragon X
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 512GB

This is a good price for a powerful configuration of the Acer Aspire 14. It comes with a 14-inch HD display and one of the latest Snapdragon X processors that boasts strong all-around performance and an excellent battery life of up to a whopping 28 hours. This is still a solid mid-range laptop if you need speed, performance, and responsiveness for everyday use at an unbeatable price following the £300 saving.View Deal

Display – 15.6 inches
Processor – Snapdragon X
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 256GB

This is a good price for a powerful configuration of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. It comes with a 15.6-inch HD display and one of the latest Snapdragon X processors that boasts strong all-around performance and an excellent battery life of over 24 hours. We called these out as the main positives in our Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge review, along with the sleek and thin overall design. An AMOLED display and more storage would have been nice, but this is still a solid mid-range laptop if you need speed, performance, and responsiveness for everyday use.View Deal

Display: 16 inches
Processor: Intel Core i5
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

There’s a terrific combination of specs for the price in this older Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, including an Intel i5 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. These can make work and everyday tasks a breeze. You also benefit from a larger 16-inch display, making this ideal if you prefer a bigger screen and don’t need an easily portable option.View Deal

Display – 14 inches
Processor – Intel Core Ultra 5
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 512GB

This is a great price for a powerful and flexible mid-range laptop with some surprisingly high-end features. The Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD ensure speedy and responsive performance for everyday use. It’s the 14-inch OLED screen that’s a real highlight, though, giving you a sharper and brighter image that’s great for just general tasks or when watching shows and movies.View Deal

Display – 13 inches
Processor – Apple M2
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 256GB

This version of the older MacBook Air M2 with 16GB of RAM is down to a new low price at Argos. Even though we’re up to the MacBook M4 now, this version with the M2 chip remains an excellent all-rounder, especially for day-to-day tasks such as browsing the internet and word processing, and it also has the power for more demanding creative and productivity tasks. Ultimately, you’ll struggle to find a better value Apple laptop than this right now.View Deal

Display – 14 inches
Processor – Intel Core Ultra 7
RAM – 16GB
Storage – 1TB

For a premium option, I recommend this Asus Zenbook 14 OLED at AO. This is a powerful machine that boasts a high-end Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. You also get a slick 14-inch OLED display that ensures a bright and sharp picture for regular use or for when you want to streaming your favorite shows at the end of the day.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Gaming

OK, it’s not a huge discount, but it’s still one of the first price cuts I’ve seen on the Nintendo Switch 2. Given that the console usually costs around £395 by itself, you’re effectively getting a copy of Mario Kart World bundled in for just £14 – that’s a huge steal. I don’t anticipate the deals will be any better than this as we get into the depths of Black Friday, and there could be stock issues come November, so I think this is a great time to buy ahead of the mad rush.View Deal

Black Friday usually brings a discount on the most recent EA Sports FC – and here it is. The latest version of the eternally popular football sim scored impressively in our review, thanks to its authenticity and improved gameplay experience. This offer is a record-low price.View Deal

I could take or leave the Hot Wheels game, but this bundle with a Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza is incredible value for money at Very. That gets you the console and two of its biggest and best games for only a little more than the price of the console by itself. It’s the best Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday bundle I’ve seen so far – and the one to beat.View Deal

The PS5 is the console I use the most and this Digital Edition bundle at Very is excellent value for money if you’re looking to pick up one as well. As well as a copy of EA FC 26, this bundle has everything you need to get started, including a controller and all cables. Just know that it doesn’t come with a disc drive, so you won’t be able to play physical copies of games (unless you buy the separate disc drive attachment).View Deal

The Meta Quest 3S is one of the best value VR headsets you can buy, and this Black Friday deal makes it even better value for money. Design and image quality do take a small hit to reach this lower price, but this is still a capable entry-level headset for playing some of the best VR games on the platform.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Headphones & Audio

These have been some of the most surprising earbuds we’ve ever tested, scoring a sweet five stars in our Nothing Ear (a) review – and now you can get them for their lowest price ever. Considering the latest AirPods are still around £100, the fact that these offer massively superior sound and great active noise cancellation for far less than AirPods makes them a no-brainer.View Deal

The AirPods Pro 2 are always a Black Friday best seller and Amazon has already discounted the last generation model down to a record-low price in the early sales. Even though they’re older, these are still rated highly in our AirPods Pro 2 review as some of the best earbuds you can buy. You get active noise cancellation to block out unwanted sounds, solid audio quality and a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life.View Deal

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro are down to a record-low price at Very. We awarded them four stars in our Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro review, praising the refinement over the previous model with AirPods-like ear sticks, active noise cancellation, a powerful 11mm driver, and AI-powered features like a voice-call booster and a translation tool – provided you have a modern Samsung phone. They look and feel good in your ears, too, with up to five hours of battery life with ANC on, so they’re good for your commute or workout.View Deal

Sony’s flagship wireless earbuds are down to a record-low price for Black Friday. These offer the excellent audio quality you’d expect from Sony earbuds, with rich and detailed sound, according to our four-star review. The active noise cancellation underwhelmed a little, and rivals are catching up a little, but these are still a leading pair of excellent earbuds for a fantastic price.View Deal

These may no longer be the latest and greatest in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup, now that the XM6s are available, but these are still some of the best noise-cancelling headphones money can buy from a trusted manufacturer. They’re much more affordable at this price, too, especially when compared to the older but excellent XM4s, which could be an even better buy if they get a big price cut on Black Friday.View Deal

The five-star Sony WH-1000MX4 may be older now, but they are still some of the best over-ear headphones you can buy. These wireless Sony cans boast top-tier audio quality, a comfortable fit, and effective noise cancellation – all at a reasonable price point that’s £250 less than the newest Sony XM6. We still rate these as the best headphones for the budget-conscious buyer, especially at this record-low price for Black Friday.View Deal

We were very impressed by these headphones in our review, where we praised the noise cancellation, lightweight build and battery life. With a huge price cut for Black Friday, they’re even better value – and are surely the best way of stopping outside noise at this price. Given it’s such a huge discount, I’d be surprised if they get any cheaper later this month.View Deal

The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 are the older version of the manufacturer’s mid-range noise-cancelling headphones. However, the PX7 S2 still hold up today and cost significantly less at this discounted price. They boast decent noise cancellation at a significantly lower price compared to Sony or Bose and offer ways to swap between noise-cancelling modes and other settings via the B&W app. The 30-hour battery life, quick-charging, sleek design, and enhanced clarity during voice calls only add to the package.View Deal

The JBL Go 4 is a budget portable speaker and it’s down to a super-low price on Amazon. As we found in our four-star review, it packs plenty of value into its 3.7×3-inch body and can withstand outdoor activities in rain or shine thanks to its IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It can also last up to seven hours on a single charge. While that isn’t much compared to JBL’s other speakers, it’s enough for a decent day trip. The built-in loop makes it easy to attach to bags with a carabiner, too. View Deal

We awarded the JBL Charge 6 five stars, and it currently sits atop our list of the best speakers, so I definitely want to shout out this deal you can nab right now at Very. With booming sound and an easy-to-carry design, you really can’t go wrong with this one.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Phones

The Pixel 9a delivers with its bold design, impressive performance, and useful AI features, meaning it has all the makings of a solid budget phone from the manufacturer. This £150 saving brings the handset down to a record-low price. It’s older now, but this is still a good time to upgrade if you’ve had your eye on a budget-friendly handset.View Deal

The four-star iPhone 16e is a mixed bag of hardware power, but it’s an excellent choice if you’re after a powerful, unfussy device that’ll see you through the next few years – especially at this record-low price. It features the A18 chipset, which is the most powerful chipset available at this price point, as well as Apple Intelligence support. You’ll have to make do with a 60Hz notched display and only a single camera, but the latter is the only real downgrade versus the full-fat iPhone 16.View Deal

The Galaxy S25 Ultra takes everything that the Galaxy S24 Ultra has to offer and amplifies it to make one of the best Android phones we’ve ever tried. Through Galaxy AI, Google Gemini, and Bixby, this phone embeds AI deeply into the experience of every user. Right now, the 256GB version is down to a record-low price, though you can also save £250 on the 512GB model if you want more storage.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Smartwatches

Samsung’s four-star budget smartwatch is down to a record-low price for Black Friday. As well as all the basic fitness, health and sleep tracking features, the Galaxy Fit3 is an excellent extension to your smartphone that lets you check your messages, control your music and navigate easily with simple gestures. Everything centres around the impressive 1.6-inch AMOLED display and battery life is also not a problem with 13 days on a single charge.View Deal

Fitbit’s dedicated fitness tracker has dropped to its cheapest price for Black Friday. It’s a small but welcome saving on a device we found lighter, prettier and smarter compared to the previous version in our Fitbit Charge 6 review. Even though it’s getting older now, it still offers all the key features you’d need, including a seven-day battery life, onboard GPS and GLONASS, sleep tracking, smart wake, heart rate monitoring, exercise tracking, and SpO2 blood oxygen tracking.View Deal

The Fitbit Versa 4 is also down to its lowest-ever price in the Black Friday sale at Amazon. This older but still capable smartwatch is water resistant up to 50m, with built-in GPS, six days of battery life, loads of workout profiles and advanced sleep tracking. Six months of Fitbit Premium is included in the price, so, as we wrote in our Fitbit Versa 4 review, it’s a great buy for fitness and sleep tracking enthusiasts.View Deal

Here’s a small discount on Fitbit’s cheapest fitness tracker. It’s inexpensive but still Fitbit’s best-value proposition: all a fitness beginner needs to get started. The battery lasts for ten days and the device comes with six months of Fitbit Premium, which is an outstanding fitness app packed with features and content – especially at this price.View Deal

Trade in any smartwatch in any condition and you can get at least £100 off the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 when you buy direct from the manufacturer. The Galaxy Watch 8 is a triumph, according to our review, boasting a slick new design, an on-wrist Gemini AI assistant, and some improvements to the all-important health and fitness tracking features that can help you exercise more efficiently.View Deal

The Apple Watch 10 is the manufacturer’s previous generation flagship smartwatch, but this is a fantastic low price if you’re happy with slightly older tech that still boasts a thin and comfortable design. You get advanced health features like ECG for monitoring heart irregularities, overnight metrics to identify issues like sleep apnea, and more. Like past models, it remains an ideal fitness partner that can track activity level and health metrics and push you toward your fitness goals.View Deal

We think this is one of Garmin’s best budget running watches, especially if you’re a beginner. As we found in our 4.5-star review, it boasts fantastic performance and a slew of features to track your exercises and encourage you to keep going out and about. The AMOLED touchscreen provides bright and crisp visuals, ideal when running on a sunny day. At this record-low price, there’s no better time to pick up your first wearable.View Deal

The GT5 is Huawei’s latest and greatest smartwatch. They might be a little behind some of their competitors when it comes to this style of watch, but at this price, there are many reasons to consider buying one if you want a stylish and capable fitness tracker that we scored an impressive 4.5 stars in our Huawei Watch GT 5 review.View Deal

Black Friday deals – Beauty

The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B’s range of electric toothbrushes, but this is a decent deal on the entry-level option that’s also bundled with a few handy extras. It doesn’t boast many high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get a second brush head, a refill holder, a charger pouch, and a travel case included for free.View Deal

The Philips OneBlade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that’s suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. This best-selling bundle contains the handle, as well as two spare blades, three stubble combs, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable for a great low price.View Deal

The Dyson Supersonic is now down to a new record-low price at Amazon. This cheaper version doesn’t include any attachments (that version is £229 at AO with everything you need to dry and style your hair at home). However, at this terrific low price, there’s no better offer if you want to buy ahead of the Black Friday sales season. View Deal

There’s a solid £150 off the Dyson Airwrap i.d at Very, which brings it to the lowest-ever price for this game-changing styling gadget. This bundle boasts a tapering and parallel auto-wrap barrel, for different curl looks, and includes a button to launch an automated curl sequence that takes all the effort out of styling.View Deal

Black Friday Deals – Tablets & ereaders

Kindle’s first-ever colour ereader is a perfect fit for anyone who loves a good graphic novel or comic. Obviously, it’s fine for a traditional book, too. As well as a brilliant display, the ereader lasts up to eight weeks on a single charge. That means even though this bundle comes with an adaptor, you won’t need to reach for it very often. The plant-based cover is another great reason to go with this bundle deal.View Deal

The latest version of the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is down to a record-low price for Black Friday. While not the most powerful tablet out there, the Fire HD 8 has what you need to cover the essentials, such as web browsing, sending emails, watching videos and a little light gaming. Battery life is impressive at up to 13 hours, so it’s good to take on the go or if you’re just chilling on the couch.View Deal

Black Friday Deals – Toys

As someone who grew up playing one of these on family holidays, I can’t help but be incredibly tempted to pick up the super-cool Lego Game Boy as a display piece while it’s £10 off at Amazon. And I’m sure many other retro gamers out there would love it as a gift this Christmas.View Deal

Swap a daily chocolate treat for a Harry Potter-themed build or minifigure with this discount on the Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar. As well as the main cast of witches and wizards, this set includes various other creatures and creations from the Wizarding World to build and collect.View Deal

If you want one of the biggest building challenges Lego can provide, then this 7,542-piece Millennium Falcon from the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series is the one for you. And with £210 sliced off its original price tag, the force is strong with this deal in the Argos Black Friday sale.View Deal

Welcome to my live coverage of the Black Friday sales

Good afternoon and thanks for joining me once again as I take on the role of your guide to this year’s Black Friday sales in the UK. It’s going to be a busy week, with multiple retailers dropping new offers on Wednesday and Amazon’s mega-sale starting on Thursdays, so you can expect a flurry of deals over the coming days.

I’m here to pick out the gems from all the trash, bringing you the price cuts on the products that matter and the bargains myself and the TechRadar team fully recommend. For now, I’ll be highlighting some of the best early Black Friday deals so far, so let’s take a look at what’s available already.

My top deal so far? This laptop right here

I’m still quite shocked by the price of this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 at Amazon. Yep, it’s an older machine, but from all the laptop deals I’ve seen so far (as well as all the offers I track throughout the year), I think it represents some incredible value for money. Inside, there’s an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 16GB of RAM and a respectable 512GB SSD for storage, which all ensure solid performance if you want a capable everyday laptop for general use, work and school.

Lenovo IdeaPad 1: was £549 now £298.98 at Amazon

Are the Kindle deals here yet?

Kindles are always popular during the Black Friday sales so I’m anticipating a lot of interest this year. The early sales have been pretty quiet when it comes to offers on Amazon’s ereaders, though. I’m not too surprised, as it’s likely that they’re being saved for the start of the Amazon sale on November 20, so I’d wait until then to find the best offers. For now, though, there is a single Kindle Colorsoft bundle up for grabs that’s decent value for money if you want to buy right now.

Another chance to shout out the best vacuum I’ve ever bought

Once again, I’m shouting out what I think is one of the best early Black Friday deals I’ve seen – both in terms of the price and quality of the product on offer. I can’t sing the praises of the Shark Stratos enough. After picking one up a few years ago, it’s made cleaning around my home so much easier, mostly thanks to the good battery life and time-saving anti-hair wrap brush roll. The highly-rated vac is now at a fantastic low price at Amazon.

Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum: was £399.99 now £179.10 at Amazon

Anyone bought anything so far? I’ve usually picked up at least a Christmas present or two at this point in the Black Friday sales, but I’ve actually not got anything yet – not even a little treat for myself. I’m on the hunt for a good RAM deal, but that’s bound to be incredibly unlikely this year. Anyway, feel free to let me know any awesome bargains you’ve secured, or particular deals you’re on the hunt for and I’ll keep and eye out.

Some awesome five-star earbuds for cheap

It’s easy to default to the likes of Apple, Samsung, Sony or Bose when looking for a new pair of earbuds. However, I want to draw your attention to the Nothing Ear (a) while they’re down to £59 at Amazon. We gave them an incredible five-star rating in our review as they boast incredible audio quality and excellent battery life at a fraction of the cost of buds from the major brands.

Nothing Ear (a): was £89 now £59 at Amazon

There are some strong Black Friday TV deals already

Black Friday is always one of the best times of the year to shop for a new TV – and retailers are already offering several excellent deals if you’re looking to upgrade you display. My to pick right now? Well, I’d have to go with the LG B5 at Currys. As the successor to the excellent B4, this is one of the best OLED TVs you can buy if you want value for money. Sure, it’s still quite pricey, but you get a lot for the price and a TV that excels at movies, shows, sports, and gaming.

LG B5 55-inch OLED TV: was £1,299.99 now £899 at Currys

A record-low price on the MacBook Air

Another excellent deal if you’re looking to splash some cash in this year’s Black Friday sales is this offer on the MacBook Air (M2). Granted, this laptop is a couple of generations old now (the M4 models are now available), but the value for money is undeniable if you’re happy with a slightly older but still incredibly powerful Apple laptop.

MacBook Air 13-inch (M2): was £999 now £699 at Argos

What is a price match guarantee?

Understandably, you might be concerned about making any purchases this early, given we’re still a month away from the official date for Black Friday. While it’s true that the sales event has gone from a day to a week to whatever random length of time retailers have decided they want it to be in recent years, buying a “Black Friday deal” in October does seem ridiculous.

That said, several stores are doing their best to assure the doubters among us that the deals we see now are genuinely good and the best they’ll be over the next couple of months. That’s where a price match guarantee comes in.

Where advertised, at the likes of Currys, it applies to any purchase made in the designated time period. If you see the product you bought for less, then you can apply for a refund for the difference. It’s a great way to ensure that you can score a great deal now, with the reassurance that if it does go cheaper in the weeks ahead, you don’t miss out on the extra saving.

A record-low price for some top Sony headphones

We’ve been huge fans of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones for years at TechRadar, simply because they offered incredible audio quality and active noise cancellation for the price. Now, the more recent XM5s just got a bit discount at Amazon for Black Friday, which makes them just as good a buy in our eyes if you want premium cans at an affordable price – and much less than the even newer XM6s

Sony WH-1000XM5SA: was £259 now £199.99 at Amazon

Google Black Friday Deals

The Google Store has just kicked off its Black Friday sale, featuring discounts on the latest lineup of Pixel phones, Pixel Buds and Fitbit smartwatches. You can hop through the link below to view the full sale, but the standout offer is a total saving of up to £975 on the Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL when you trade in your existing smartphone.
