It's only the second week of November but it feels like basically all of this year's Black Friday deals are in full swing. Retailers didn't wait around to kick off this year's sale, with the likes of Argos, Currys, John Lewis and Very all launching offers at the start of the month - and others have followed suit.

I've searched through these sales and hand-picked all of the best early Black Friday deals worth buying right now – check them out below.

You'll find my recommended deals from the ongoing sales at Currys and Argos, as well as a handful of early offers from Amazon. Some of the standout offers from these events include big savings on TVs, appliances, phones, laptops, toys, health and beauty products, and vacuums.

But that's not everything as many other retailers and manufacturers have sales live right now, such as John Lewis, Very, Boots, Ebay, Dell and Samsung. There really is something for everyone.

I've picked out the top offers from those events, too, using my experience as TechRadar's deals editor and the vast expertise of the wider team from testing thousands of products – from air fryers to smartwatches – to ensure you get only the best bargains.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the month as I surface more of the best deals available this Black Friday.

Today's best early Black Friday deals

Tefal Easy Fry Air Fryer
Tefal Easy Fry Air Fryer: was £179.99 now £99 at Amazon UK

One of my favourite budget air fryer deals ahead of Black Friday can be found at Amazon right now. This heavily reduced Tefal Easy Fry is a decently sized 8.3L model that's almost at the same price as the 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 I've seen all year.

Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar
Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar: was £29.99 now £19.99 at Amazon UK

Mix up your advent calendar this year so that instead of a daily chocolate you get a new mini Lego set to build or a character to assemble. This is the cheapest price we've seen for the Star Wars-themed version of the popular holiday treat. As well as five character minifigs, it also has several mini-builds of iconic Star Wars vehicles that are sure to please any fans of adventures in a galaxy far, far away.

Shark IZ300UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Shark IZ300UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: was £399.99 now £229 at Currys

I've been harping on about the brilliance of my Shark vacuum for over a year now so I'm definitely going to shout out this over £150 discount on a capable and affordable model from the manufacturer. The Anti Hair Wrap tech has saved me countless hours unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum, which has been an absolute lifesaver. It's also a good option for reaching under furniture thanks to its Flexology design, it has impressive suction and comes with several handy accessories.

Oral-B Pro 3
Oral-B Pro 3: was £100 now £35 at Amazon UK

This entry-level electric toothbrush is a solid pickup while it's less than half price in Amazon's early Black Friday deals. It doesn't boast many impressive 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 handy carry case included for free.

Samsung Galaxy Fit3
Samsung Galaxy Fit3: was £69 now £39 at Amazon UK

At just £39, now is a great time to buy Samsung's budget smartwatch. 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.

LG C4 55-inch OLED TV
LG C4 55-inch OLED TV: was £1,599 now £1,199 at Currys

The C4 is the latest mid-range OLED TV from LG and it's now available at a record-low price of £1,199 at Currys. The 55-inch display features exceptional brightness, rich blacks, premium sound, and impressive gaming features – including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support. Well-placed in our best TV buying guide, the C4 is a top buy if you need a versatile all-rounder for movies, shows and games.

Amazon Echo Dot (2 Pack) + Sengled Smart Plug
Amazon Echo Dot (2 Pack) + Sengled Smart Plug: was £124.97 now £48.98 at Amazon UK

What's better than one of Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot smart speakers for cheap? How about two – and a bonus smart plug thrown in for free too? Amazon's latest model got four stars in our Echo Dot (5th Gen) review for its improved audio experience, new temperature sensor and all the handy Alexa features like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. Meanwhile, the smart plug has a suite of features to control your devices. You can use it with any existing socket and connect an assortment of devices such as chargers, lights, TVs, appliances and more.

Ninja AF300UK Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer
Ninja AF300UK Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer: was £149.99 now £119 at Argos

This extremely popular and number one best-selling air fryer that we awarded five stars in our Ninja AF300UK review is £40 off at Argos. This is still an excellent price for a large dual-basket air fryer that can prepare multiple foods at once faster and arguably healthier than other conventional cooking methods.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: £49.99 at Tesco Mobile

Everything about this mobile phone is big. The size, the specs, the performance, and especially the camera. All of these made it our pick for one of the best phones you can buy right now. It now also helps that the cost is dramatically reduced thanks to this Black Friday deal at Tesco Mobile. You pay nothing upfront and £49.99 per month for unlimited data over a 36-month contract. You do have to have a Tesco Clubcard to get the offer, but that's free to sign up for if you aren't already a member.

Philips OneBlade 360
Philips OneBlade 360: at Amazon UK

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. It's now back down to the cheapest price I've ever seen. This bundle includes the handle as well as three spare blades, multiple combs, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.

Duracell Plus AA Batteries (24 Pack)
Duracell Plus AA Batteries (24 Pack): was £18.99 now £14.99 at Amazon UK

It's not the most glamorous deal but this is a good price for a set of 24 batteries at Amazon from big-name brand Duracell. These are always a handy buy for a variety of tech items and gadgets, especially for any new toys that need the juice on Christmas Day.

Nothing Ear (a)
Nothing Ear (a): was £99 now £69 at Amazon UK

These have been some of the surprise earbuds of the year, 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 £130, the fact that these boast massively superior sound and great active noise cancellation for far less than Apple's offering makes them a no-brainer.

Google Pixel 9 Pro
Google Pixel 9 Pro: was £1,099 now £999 at Amazon UK

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is the latest high-end phone from the manufacturer with an improved Tensor chip so you’ll get speedier performance than before. It also has better cameras with a triple-lens camera system including wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses, and it has more AI-powered features than its predecessors. As you’d expect from a Google Pixel phone, it looks great too and offers the cleanest Android experience. All of that is now available for a record-low price in the early Black Friday deals at Amazon

Microsoft Surface Pro 11
Microsoft Surface Pro 11: was £1,449 now £1,049 at Amazon UK

Display - 13-inch OLED
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - Windows 11

This is one of the best discounts I've seen on the new Surface Pro models and it's a tempting buy after we were super-impressed in our Surface Pro 11 review. This version boasts a gorgeous 13-inch PixelSense Flow OLED display at 2880 x 1920 resolution so it looks sharp and crisp with some vibrant colors and deep blacks. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon X Plus processor ensures excellent battery life and combines well with its many AI features to simplify your life. There’s also 16GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage which will ensure speedy performance and enough storage space for your essential files and applications.

DJI Mini 4K
DJI Mini 4K: was £269 now £209 at Amazon UK

DJI's latest entry-level drone builds on the Mini 2 SE by bringing 4K video to the table, whereas the Mini 2 SE only shoots in 2.7K. With this early Black Friday deal you get over 20% off what we think is hands-down the best 4K drone for the money. This standard combo includes DJI's basic remote controller and a single battery for a 31-minute flight time. If you're looking for your first drone equipped with a camera, the Mini 4K is a great starting point.

Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer
Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer: was £269.99 now £229 at Currys

I've seen Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer for £20 less in the past, but this is still a good price for the popular and well-rated appliance – especially if you want it in a striking and slightly risky white. We loved it at TechRadar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even putting it 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 9.5L capacity is ideal for medium to big families.

Hisense A6N 55-inch 4K TV
Hisense A6N 55-inch 4K TV: was £359 now £309 at Amazon UK

If you're looking for a good-sized budget display, you can't get much better than this Hisesne 55-inch 4K TV that's on sale for just over £300 at Amazon. The Hisense A6N sports 4K Ultra HD resolution support, a direct-lit LED array for excellent brightness and contrast, and Dolby Vision and HDR for superior colours. Access to all of your favourite streaming apps is just a button press away, too. All of this for so close to £300? Bargain.

Dyson V10
Dyson V10: was £449 now £299 at Currys

The Dyson V10 is one of the manufacturer's more affordable cordless vacuum cleaners and it's an exceptional product that's more than capable of excellent performance. Not only is it extremely easy to use but it also provides decent suction even at the lowest of settings and it can last up to an hour on a single charge. It's not our favourite Dyson model (the latest versions are greatly improved), but the V10 is great value with this Black Friday deal at Currys.

De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155.MB: was £529 now £349 at Currys

Our De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB review called this 'an easy-to-use espresso machine that creates smooth, rich coffee with a thick crema'. It's obviously not the cheapest machine on the market right now but it is one that we highly recommend if you're serious about your home brews. Just note that this is a traditional espresso machine that takes grounds rather than pods.

Samsung Q80D 50-inch OLED TV
Samsung Q80D 50-inch OLED TV: was £999 now £729 at Currys

We rated the Samsung Q80D as the best mid-range TV you can buy currently and the Currys Black Friday sale has superb discounts across the whole range of available sizes. The Q80D offers premium-level features and performance at a more affordable price, including a high-quality and vibrant picture, excellent contrast and fantastic gaming support.

Acer 514 Chromebook Plus: was £349 now £249 at Currys

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel i3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB
OS - ChromeOS

This Acer 514 Chromebook Plus offers an impressive amount of power for the price. It includes 8GB of RAM and an Intel i3 processor, dramatically boosting performance, boot times and load times. There's also a decent 128GB of storage and battery life is excellent at up to 10 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough to last a full working day. At £250, it's a bargain for school or college, or just as a home laptop that you use for light use and everyday tasks.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i: was £549 now £399 at Currys

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel i3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB
OS - ChromeOS

Want a laptop but also think you'd appreciate the flexibility of a tablet? Why not both? This Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i offers a lot of versatility and decent overall performance for light use and everyday tasks thanks to the Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM. Plus, you have the option to flip it to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. Battery life is good, too with up to 9 hours available on a single charge.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 6
Lenovo Yoga Slim 6: was £799 now £499 at Currys

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel i5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11

Currys has taken a whopping £300 off this mid-range laptop that boasts a slick 14-inch IPS screen, Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a decent up to 14-hour battery life. These components ensure solid overall performance for most day-to-day tasks including browsing, working and streaming videos. I'm particularly impressed with the large and fast storage at this price, which is more than enough room for your files, applications, photos, videos and more.

Samsung Galaxy Book4
Samsung Galaxy Book4: was £749 now £499 at very.co.uk

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Core 5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - Windows 11

If you’ve been looking to invest in a device that looks great and offers excellent performance here's a good deal on the latest Samsung Galaxy Book4. It's powered by one of the latest mid-range Intel Core 5 processors, plus there's 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for decent overall performance. You pay more for the lovely display and sleek design of these machines, so you can get more power for a similar price if you prefer. However, it's hard to find much that competes with this Samsung Galaxy Book4 in terms of style, especially when you consider it boasts a great battery life, too.

Nintendo Switch OLED + Super Mario Bros. Wonder + 12-Months Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch OLED + Super Mario Bros. Wonder + 12-Months Nintendo Switch Online: was £309 now £298 at very.co.uk

Even though the console is older now, Nintendo Switch bundles are still big items during the Black Friday sales. This bundle includes the improved Nintendo Switch OLED console, a copy of the joyful platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a year of Switch Online membership for access to online multiplayer, free games and other perks. It's good value for all these items at once for around the same price as the console by itself.

Dyson Supersonic
Dyson Supersonic: was £329 now £279.99 at Currys

Our Dyson Supersonic review called this the 'best hair dryer on the market' for its quirky design and impressive performance. The main issue? The price - which makes this nifty £50 discount in the Curry's Black Friday sale so compelling. It's still a little on the pricey side, sure, but Dyson builds its products to last - and you'll almost certainly get great results here.

Sennheiser Momentum 4
Sennheiser Momentum 4: was £219.99 now £199.99 at John Lewis

Away from the big names like Sony, Bose and Beats, Sennheiser is out here quietly making some of its own excellent over-ear headphones. Just how good are they? We scored them these full five stars in our Sennheiser Momentum 4 review for their terrific sound quality, noise cancellation and impressive battery life. In terms of nailing all of these features for the price they can't be beaten.

Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon: was £735 now £525 at Argos

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.

LG S80QR 5.1.3ch Soundbar:
LG S80QR 5.1.3ch Soundbar: was £1,099 now £499 at Currys

This LG soundbar system is now down to its lowest-ever price – and it's a huge £200 cheaper than last year. Of course, it's another year older now, but it's still a strong offer for a 5.1.3-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. We've tested a more basic model in our LG S80QY review, which praised its impeccable dialogue clarity. And with this S80QR model, you get the same performance but with a full surround experience. It also supports HDMI passthrough of VRR for gaming on the latest consoles.

Garmin Instinct 2s
Garmin Instinct 2s: was £219 now £169 at Argos

The Garmin Instinct 2s is an incredible fitness-focused smartwatch for those who would prefer something a little more rugged than the usual options. Alongside advanced training tools and excellent GPS tracking, the Instinct 2s features class-leading battery life and a design that will hold up under even the most intensive punishment. We gave this one a full five stars in our Garmin Instinct 2s review so it's well worth picking up at this record-low price.

Black Friday 2024: Key Information

A selection of key tech items expected to be popular over Black Friday

(Image credit: Future)

When is Black Friday 2024?

This year's Black Friday falls on November 29. It always lands on the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the US.

While that is a key date to remember, Black Friday deals are available much earlier than that. As we've already seen, retailers have launched sales from the start of November. Basically, from this point, sales will run all the way through until mid-December to capture any last-minute Christmas shopping.

Retailers have moved to an extended sales period in the last couple of years to stretch out the shopping season and allow you to spread your purchases rather than cramming them into a single 24-hour window. Plus, many include a promise that prices won't get cheaper throughout November – and if they do, you can get a refund for the difference.

It's been a nice change as it means less frantic scrubbing to find deals, more time to find the best bargains and peace of mind that when you shop you won't be punished for buying at the wrong time.

When do Black Friday deals start?

Black Friday deals start well before the day itself. The sales period has got longer and longer over the years with many offers now live from October. The majority, however, will be live from early November.

Amazon led the way with its second Amazon Prime Day event on October 8 - 9. This sale served as an early preview of the retailer's Black Friday deals for this year but you needed to be an Amazon Prime member to purchase the majority of them.

A couple of other retailers such as Currys and Argos followed suit during that week with their own events, but they definitely weren't as big as they will be for Black Friday.

Now that we've reached November that's when the sales have seriously ramped up following the launch of the Black Friday sales at Argos, Currys, John Lewis, Very, and more. Places such as Amazon are likely to follow suit in the coming days, though nothing has been announced yet.

After that, pay close attention to exactly one week before Black Friday on November 22 as that's when retailers unleash the full extent of their sales. This is the time to buy if you've been holding out for weeks as prices are very unlikely to drop any further from this point onward.

Where to find the best Black Friday deals

With so many retailers to choose from over Black Friday, it's not always easy to find the best deals. We've found the stores below often feature some of the top offers during the sales period in specific areas. We'll search through them and share the best ones when Black Friday starts but you can also take a look yourself if you just want to browse.

Amazon: often cheapest for almost everything
Argos: great for tech, furniture and toys
AO: best offers on major appliances
Currys: big savings on TVs, laptops and appliances
John Lewis: deals on furniture, fashion and tech
Smyths Toys: vast selection of toys, electronics & gadgets
Very: fashion, furniture and tech offers

What deals to expect in Black Friday 2024

We've got a good idea of what to expect from Black Friday as we've covered the sales for over ten years here at TechRadar. Ultimately, it doesn't change too much each time, with the same types of products on offer and all the usual retailer sales to choose from if you're looking to shop.

Dropping back into the Adobe Analytics data shows that electronics, apparel and toys all received their biggest discounts of the year during Black Friday.

So, it's still one of the best times to make that big-ticket purchase you've been waiting on for the whole year. Whether it's a brand-new TV, a popular kitchen appliance, a powerful laptop, a handy tablet or a slick smartwatch, then Black Friday generally has some of the lowest prices we've seen all year.

Pay particularly close attention to some of last year's best-selling items as you should be able to get them for their cheapest prices over Black Friday as retailers clear space for new and upcoming models. Just because they're slightly older doesn't mean you should pass them up, especially if it's a big discount on some of our best-reviewed products.

Black Friday is also an important time for smaller purchases and subscription offers. Lots of great smart home tech such as video doorbells, cameras and streaming sticks all fall to new low prices during the end-of-year sales. You can pair them with discounted subscription fees where needed (often for new and returning members).

And that's not counting all the other product categories that are featured and independent retailers that get involved for Black Friday. Practically everyone and everything is involved. That can make it hard to separate the good deals from all the noise, but you can stick with us as we share all the best offers right here when the time comes.

How big is Black Friday?

Black Friday is a massive sales event – the biggest of the entire year. This November's one is bound to be a massive event again, with Adobe Analytics reporting that £24.4 billion was spent last year over the Black Friday period from October to the end of December – an increase of 3.7% compared to last year.

Even with multiple other sales events and regular discounts throughout the year, it's clearly still the year's biggest shopping period. I'm here to help you make the most of it, point you towards the best Black Friday deals and save you some cash on your shopping list.

Why to trust TechRadar this Black Friday

As mentioned up top, I've personally been covering Black Friday for almost a decade here at TechRadar as well as other gaming and technology sites. I also monitor sales throughout the year and track the lowest prices of dozens of the most popular products as TechRadar's senior deals editor so I know a bargain when I see it.

I also combine that experience with the impressive knowledge of the full TechRadar team, who share their tech expertise from testing and reviewing dozens of products in their areas of specialisation.

Combined, we'll bring you the best Black Friday deals on all the top-rated and well-reviewed products available to buy right now so you come away with an excellent bit of tech at a great price.
