The best Black Friday deals 2024: this weekend's top offers at Amazon, Currys, Argos, John Lewis and more
I've rounded up the best deals from this year's Black Friday sales
Black Friday deals are already here so I've searched through this weekend's sales to bring you all the best offers. Retailers didn't wait around this year to get sales started – and many have been live since the start of November – so it's already been a busy month of hunting down the best Black Friday deals.
I've spent almost a decade covering Black Friday at TechRadar and other technology sites so I've used that experience to uncover the good deals and bargains on the tech you actually want this year. Dozens of retailers such as Amazon, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, Very and more have sales live now so you can check out my top picks from all of these and more below.
Some of the standout Black Friday deals I've spotted this year include big savings on headphones, games consoles and vacuums, as well as lots of cheap air fryers, smart home tech, and health and beauty products.
I've combined my deals-hunting nose with the vast expertise of the wider team who have tested thousands of products – from air fryers to vacuums and everything in between. I'm here to ensure you see only the products worth spending your money on to get a high-quality item at a great price – or a cheeky treat for yourself.
With most sales now live, the offers should remain fairly static this weekend, but I'll still be here with further updates as I uncover more of the best Black Friday deals available this year.

Black Friday Deals 2024 - My Top Picks
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.
Amazon's all-new Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for the first time since launch this Black Friday. Previous versions have been reduced to under £100 in the past, but it's unlikely we'll ever see an offer like that again on this upgraded version. We found in our Kindle Paperwhite review that it's packed with features to suit all avid readers, including an improved 12-week battery life, a larger glare-free 7-inch screen, adjustable warm light and storage space for thousands of books.
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.
Amazon has this wireless outdoor security camera down to a new record-low price for all as part of its Black Friday deals. You get 1080p HD video, motion detection, and the option of two-way talk through the Blink app. A two-year battery life also means you can have the camera set up and running for a good amount of time. Of course, there's Alexa compatibility too, so you can see through cameras using your Echo Show or other displays. You can also add up to three extra cameras to get an impressive bundle for the price if you want to get started with an easy-to-use home security system.
Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer is down to a record-low price, which is a steal for the popular and well-rated appliance. 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.
The PS5 is the console I use the most, and while I'm not the biggest Fortnite fan, I can appreciate the considerable saving on this bundle that includes a PlayStation 5 console and a Fortnite Starter Pack featuring cosmetics and V-Bucks. If you're not interested in the Fortnite goodies then you can also get the PS5 console by itself for £399.99 and save a tenner.
The Sony WH-1000MX4 are older now but they are still some of the best over-ear headphones ever. These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's about £70 less than the newer Sony XM5 that are only a minor upgrade. We still rate these as the best headphones for most people because you can find them at a price like this during major sales such as Black Friday.
Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel i5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
OS - Windows 11
Argos has a great offer on this mid-range laptop that boasts a 15.6-inch screen, an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a decent 8-hour battery life. These components ensure solid overall performance for most day-to-day tasks including browsing, working and streaming videos. On top of that, you get a bundle of handy software included. There's a one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal, which contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Plus a one-year McAfee LiveSafe subscription for all your antivirus and VPN needs.
If you're looking for a small and cheap TV in this year's Black Friday sale then you likely won't find much better than this 40-inch Hisense A4N for £159. With support for full HD resolution and access to all the popular streaming apps such as Netflix and Disney Plus, it has all you need for your general everyday TV viewing, or if you want a second screen in the kitchen or bedroom.
Here's a return to the record-low price for this impressive bundle featuring the appliance 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's saved me so much time unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum. Flexology 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 60 minutes.
The latest wireless Ring Doorbell has been discounted for only the second time this year, with Amazon slashing £40 from its starting price. We've tested more advanced versions and have been impressed with the video quality and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is usable exclusively with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it'll be worth the cost.
I've got one of those AnySharp knife sharpeners to keep my kitchen knives up to scratch but if you want to go all the way with a convenient knife block with a build-in sharpener then this is a great price for a premium set from Ninja that matches the previous record-low. You'll never suffer from dull knives again with this extremely handy kitchen gadget, with its five-piece set of stainless knives and included paring scissors.
The G50 is very budget-friendly even at full price, but even more so with this 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 the navigation to be basic, and geared towards whole-home cleans rather than anything more specific. Because there's no central raised puck, it'll be able to sneak under low furniture. We generally rate Eufy highly as a brand, although we haven't reviewed this specific model yet.
You can save a good amount on the impressive Karcher WV5 Plus right now at Amazon, bringing it down to the lowest price I've seen this year. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery boasts a 35-minute run time, which equals about 105m² on a single charge – or up to 75 windows. That’s more than enough to do a small flat several times over or a couple of trips around a whole home.
Black Friday deals - Televisions
If you're looking for a small and cheap TV in this year's Black Friday sale then you likely won't find much better than this 40-inch Hisense A4N for £159. With support for full HD resolution and access to all the popular streaming apps such as Netflix and Disney Plus, it has all you need for your general everyday TV viewing, or if you want a second screen in the kitchen or bedroom.
This Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is a strong buy after this over £200 discount if you've got a small budget and need a more modern option for your everyday TV viewing. The mid-sized 4K display supports HDR 10 to offer a sharp, clear, and vibrant image for TV shows, movies, and sports. All major streaming apps are ready to go, too, plus there's voice control support through Alexa. It's an all-around solid TV for the price that I'd buy if I needed an affordable and capable display.
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.
Samsung's entry-level QLED TV, the Samsung Q60D, delivers contrast-rich and bright, colourful picture quality thanks to its combination of QLED panel and 'Dual LED' tech. It also comes in a sleek, light and trim frame that's rare on sets at this price. It also has a great range of smart features including Samsung's Tizen smart TV interface and SmartThings platform. This deal takes the 50-inch model to a record-low of under £450 – a great offer for a QLED TV in a 55-inch size.
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.
The LG B4 may be the entry level OLED in LG's 2024 TV lineup, but it delivers spectacular picture quality with rich contrast and fine details, along with a wealth of gaming features including 4K, 120Hz, Dolby Vision gaming, VRR and more. Available for the first time 48-inches, this deal takes the newest size down to a record low of under £800 -- easily the cheapest way to get a 2024 OLED TV!
The Hisense U7N is one of the best value TVs of 2024, delivering excellent picture quality with rich contrast and vivid colors, a good suite of gaming features including 4K, 120Hz, VRR and Dolby Vision gaming and doing it all for an affordable price. This deal takes the 65-inch model down to £899 - a steal for a 65-inch set of this quality and easily the lowest price we've seen. Hurry though, it's a limited time deal!
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.
The Samsung 55-inch S95D OLED TV is the TV everyone wants to own. It has an incredibly detailed QD-OLED picture with anti-reflection technology, spectacular gaming features, and even a great-looking design. Colours look dynamic and natural, and there are deep blacks, too. It's easily one of 2024's best TVs and it's now down to a record-low price.
Delivering excellent picture quality with crisp textures, bold and natural colors, and rich contrast, the Bravia 8 is one of the best OLED TVs around. It also comes with a good selection of gaming features, including 'Perfect for PS5' ones, but it's the Bravia 8's built-in sound that impresses most. Immersive, expansive, and accurate, not many rival mid-range OLEDs can deliver sonically as well as the Bravia 8. It's still a premium-priced OLED, but this £500 discount should not be taken lightly, dropping the Bravia 8 65-inch below £2,000 for the first time.
Black Friday Deals - Soundbars
Amazon's budget 2.1-channel soundbar is getting a £20 discount in this Amazon Black Friday deal. In our Amazon Fire TV Soundbar review, we commented on its good build and sound quality for the price, along with its sound-expanding DTS Virtual:X processing. If you're looking for a cheap, basic solution to improve your TV's sound, Amazon's soundbar gets a solid recommendation from us, and it's now even better with this deal.
This deal on Sony's entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar drops its price a full £100. That's great news for anyone looking for a soundbar with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, along with a dedicated center-channel speaker to deliver clear dialogue. This deep price cut is likely to remain in place through the Black Friday season, and possibly after, so there's no reason not to grab this Currys deal now.
This second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar is a few years old but this discount drops it back to a record-low price. For the money, you get a compact and stylish soundbar with excellent integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem and Dolby Atmos support for a more immersive experience when watching movies. We also found it's great at playing music in our Sonos Beam (Gen 2) review so it's a good choice if you need one for multiple uses.
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.
This is the biggest discount I've ever seen on the excellent Sonos Arc – and it's by some margin. This is a sensational five-star soundbar according to our Sonos Arc review, with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus for immersive and precise sound. At over £150 off, now's the time to buy this premium soundbar if you want a high-quality audio performance without the need for extra speakers or a subwoofer.
Samsung's top soundbar system is back to nearly its lowest-ever price in this Amazon pre-Black Friday deal. The Samsung HW-Q990D is easily one of the best soundbar systems we've ever reviewed, delivering 11.1.4 channels across four units. As an added bonus, it also has HDMI 2.1 inputs with 4K 120Hz support for gaming. Amazon's stock on the HW-Q990D is currently limited, so this is one deal worth jumping on in advance of Black Friday.
Sony's flagship soundbar for 2024 is back to its lowest-ever price in this trending deal at John Lewis. The Bravia Theater Bar 9 goes all out with 13 total speakers in a single bar solution with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support and also features the company's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping for even more immersive sound. We don't expect Theater Bar 9 prices to go any lower during Black Friday, so this is a deal worth looking into now.

If you like a proper laptop setup, but would also appreciate the flexibility of a tablet, you don't have to choose between the two. Instead, you can pick up this cheap Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 that offers the best of both worlds. It's a relatively basic machine but fine for light use and everyday tasks thanks to a solid amount of RAM and the simplistic ChromeOS. You also get the added versatility to flip the 15-inch display around to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. Storage is good at 128GB and there's also a solid 12-hour battery life – both very good at this price.

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.

It's a bit older now but I'd highly rate this Asus Vivobook 15 when it comes to value. For £400 you're getting not just a powerful 12th gen Intel Core i5 chipset but also an OLED display - something you usually only see on higher-end machines. Generally speaking, the specs here are more than adequate for the basics and this lightweight machine is perfect for consuming content thanks to its decent display.

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.

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.
Display - 15.6 inches

A laptop with this amount of power and at this sort of price with an OLED screen is a rare find, so if you desire top-tier image quality for photo/video editing or watching TV/movies then this device is one to consider. With a reasonably modern Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD it has all the power you need to keep up with more demanding jobs and all of your computing needs.

For the price, it's hard to imagine getting a laptop with better specs than this highly discounted Asus Zenbook in the Currys Black Friday sale. Not only does this one have a Core i9 chipset and 1TB SSD, but it also features a high-end OLED display that's perfect for both every-day work and watching content. Overall, this is a very premium machine for a mid-range price so you simply can't go wrong here if your budget fits.

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.
Black Friday deals - Appliances
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.
At £90 off, this Black Friday deal on the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone air fryer is no joke. It's a return to the best price on this super-popular model so don't miss it if you're serious about your air fryers. Our Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer review praised this model's ability to cook two foods at once, how easy it was to clean, and the superb results. Note, however, that this is a bulky appliance and best suited to kitchens with plenty of countertop space.
Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer is down to a record-low price, which is a steal for the popular and well-rated appliance. 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.
I've got one of those AnySharp knife sharpeners to keep my kitchen knives up to scratch but if you want to go all the way with a convenient knife block with a build-in sharpener then this is a great price for a premium set from Ninja that matches the previous record-low. You'll never suffer from dull knives again with this extremely handy kitchen gadget, with its five-piece set of stainless knives and included paring scissors.
This single-serve Nespresso machine comes in various fun colours and can brew a large variety of caffeinated beverages. Your order will also come with 30 free capsules, so you can start enjoying delicious coffee right away. Not bad for a cheap and easy-to-use machine for the infrequent or less-fussy coffee drinker.
This excellent manual unit earned a place in our roundup of the best espresso machines thanks to its compact design, and ability to take either coffee grounds or pods. Unlike most budget espresso machines, it also has a steam wand for milk frothing. It was reduced to £179 earlier in the week, but has now received a second price cut.
The Nespresso Creatista Plus is slick and sophisticated. It promises a three-second heat-up time and there's a steam arm for milk frothing (and getting creative with latte art). The touchscreen will guide you through a selection of coffee recipes, and they can all be personalised to your own preferences, too. It's very rare for this machine to drop below £300, so this Black Friday deal is well worth snapping up.
Marks Electrical has beaten Amazon's best price on this compact bean-to-cup coffee machine, which our reviewer gave four and a half stars out of five. It's much smaller and more affordable than a typical fully automatic espresso maker, and includes an auto milk frother for lattes and cappuccinos.
With £700 off, this is easily the most exciting coffee maker deal I've seen this Black Friday. The PrimaDonna Elite is a fully automatic machine that puts 13 drink options at your fingertips, creates hot or cold smooth foamed milk automatically, and lets you create personal profiles and tailor your drinks via the Coffee Link mobile app.
Looking outside isn't making for inspiring ice cream weather but this Ninja Creami is still a tempting buy if you want a quick and convenient way to make all of your favourite frozen treats, milkshakes and sorbets at the touch of a button. This Black Friday deal is strong, as it's the first discount we've seen since July and reduced the popular appliance down to its lowest price yet.
Black Friday deals - vacuums
This Samsung stick vac promises strong suction, up to an impressive 60 minutes of cleaning on a single charge, and an extra pet tool for getting your upholstery fluff-free. As a budget-friendly option it's a strong recommendation, and this £30 off deal makes it even more affordable. You can also claim an extra 3 years on your 2-year guarantee as part of this deal.
Here's a solid £50 saving on the powerful and nimble Dyson Big Ball Corded Vacuum. The unique engineering means it can keep both hard floors and carpets clean, while the ball design makes it easy to navigate around the house. When we tested a previous version for our Dyson Cinetic Big Ball review we came away super-impressed with the suction power and easy of use.
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.
The V8 is an older Dyson, but still extremely capable, and ridiculously good value with this early Black Friday deal. We're not sure what the 'Advanced' bit refers to, because it looks identical to the regular V8, which you can read all about in our Dyson V8 review. This deal is also the cheapest V8, of any configuration, we've found.
Dyson price: £229.99
Currys price: £229.99
Here's a return to the record-low price for this impressive bundle featuring the appliance 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's saved me so much time unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum. Flexology 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 60 minutes.
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.
This seems to be an alternative version of the very highly rated Detect Pro vacuum, with very similar features, and it's had a £100 price cut for Black Friday. It can detect dirt of the floor and adjust suction in response, as well as showing you when the floor is clean via color-change lights on the motor section. There's a charge base that'll also automatically empty the dust cup when the vacuum is docked, saving effort and meaning there's less chance for the dirt and allergens to escape back into the air.
This is a more streamlined, lightweight alternative to Dyson's flagship models. While it's a little less powerful than the very newest flagships (but still plenty good enough for most people's needs), otherwise it packs most of the same tech, including auto-adjustment of suction based on how dirty the floor is. With £150 off, it's great value this Black Friday.
There's £150 off the top-of-the-range Gen5detect cordless vacuum for Black Friday. This vacuum is ultra powerful and boasts the longest battery life you'll find anywhere, with up to 70 minutes on a single charge. You'll also get automatic suction adjustment based on dirt levels, and a bright laser than means you'll never miss a spot on your hard floors.
The G50 is very budget-friendly even at full price, but even more so with this 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 the navigation to be basic, and geared towards whole-home cleans rather than anything more specific. Because there's no central raised puck, it'll be able to sneak under low furniture. We generally rate Eufy highly as a brand, although we haven't reviewed this specific model yet.
The J7 is a little older, which means deals crop up fairly regularly, but this is lowest price we've ever seen. It's a straightforward but effective option, with object identification and avoidance, as well as the dual rubber rollers that are so good at agitating dirt and gripping hair. This model just comes with a regular charge dock. If you want a dock that empties the bin, look for the J7 Plus. And for a version that also mops, it's the Combo J7.
The Combo J9 is one of iRobot's newest, most advanced models, and the discount just increased to £450 off. It offers double the suction power and double the scrubbing power of most of the rest of the range. It can be set to clean the dirtiest rooms in the house first, and the retractible mop pad shifts to sit on top of the bot when not in use. This version has a self-empty base, which not only empties the dust cup when it's full, but automatically dispenses cleaning solution for mopping.
Under £300 is an outstanding price for this hybrid Eufy robot vacuum and mop. It delivers a very good 5,000Pa of suction, comes with a dock into which the bot will auto-empty dust, and it recognises when it's moving from hard floor to carpet and bumps up suction in response. If you have a smaller home, you could consider the version without a base.
This is the vacuum-only version of Shark's new robot vacuum line, and it's had a decent £100 price cut for Black Friday. It includes some cool (and useful) detection features, including the ability to tell how dirty the floor is, what kind of floor it is, and whether it's near the edge of a room, and adjust suction accordingly. It'll also bump itself up over particularly tall thresholds as required.
Black Friday deals - Smart home
Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? The Amazon Black Friday sale includes the Echo Pop for just £18.99. This is the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now and one that we found was a fun, if somewhat basic, option in our Echo Pop review. For the money, however, you get a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free. Note that this one briefly fell to £17.99 earlier but we'd still say it's a decent buy at £19.
Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot is down to £23 for Black Friday and that's just £1 more than the previous record-low price. The Echo Dot offers an improved audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor and all the handy features from Alexa, like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. As far as a cheap and cheerful smart speaker goes, it's one of the better options out there.
Amazon brought back a brand-new version of its Echo Spot smart clock earlier this year and it's slashed £30 off the price for the Black Friday, matching the price that was available to Prime members back in July. As well as a time display and wake-up alerts, this compact bit of kit can play music, check the weather and control other smart devices throughout your home.
The latest wireless Ring Doorbell has been discounted for only the second time this year, with Amazon slashing £40 from its starting price. We've tested more advanced versions and have been impressed with the video quality and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is usable exclusively with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it'll be worth the cost.
This half-price offer gets you an easy-to-install Ring Indoor Camera for a new low price. The Alexa-enabled plug-in security camera features motion-activated notifications, 1080p HD video support, a privacy cover and two-way talk to allow you to see, hear and communicate throughout your home.
With this Black Friday deal, you can get the Ring Stick Up Cam on sale for £49.99 – that's a return to the cheapest price I've ever seen. The Alexa-enabled security camera features motion-activated notifications, two-way talk, and can be placed outdoors thanks to the weather-resistant design and a battery life of six to twelve months.
Amazon's Black Friday sale has the top-rated Blink Video Doorbell on sale for £29.99 – which matches the record-low price. The Blink Video Doorbell is a cheap and easy way to get alerts to your phone when motion is detected or when guests are at your door. It features infrared night video, long-lasting battery life, compatibility with other smart devices and displays, and two-way audio to speak to visitors.
The new Blink Mini 2 has a couple of nice upgrades compared to the previous model, including an in-built spotlight, night view in colour support and the option to use it outdoors with the weather-resistant adaptor. Aside from that it offers the same raft of security features such as motion detection, two-way audio and smartphone app integration. This offer is a new record-low price that beats the price available for Prime members back in July.
Amazon has this wireless outdoor security camera down to a new record-low price for all as part of its Black Friday deals. You get 1080p HD video, motion detection, and the option of two-way talk through the Blink app. A two-year battery life also means you can have the camera set up and running for a good amount of time. Of course, there's Alexa compatibility too, so you can see through cameras using your Echo Show or other displays. You can also add up to three extra cameras to get an impressive bundle for the price if you want to get started with an easy-to-use home security system.
Amazon's new version of the standard Fire TV Stick is now the cheapest it's ever been making this is an affordable way to add or upgrade the essential smart features in your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls and the ability to control other smart home devices. As we said in our Fire TV Stick review, this is a decent option if you're looking to upgrade your streaming setup on the cheap.
As the name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high 4K resolution. It's a good offer for a solid streaming stick that comes with access to all the major apps and supports voice controls through Alexa. Be aware, though, that the previous generation version has been as low as £22.99 before - but that was almost three years ago. Chances of seeing that price again are slim as this discount seems to be the new normal for the upgrade streaming stick and the old version has been discontinued from sale.
If you're looking for a deal on a smart home display, then the cheapest offer at Amazon is the latest generation Echo Show 5 on sale for £44.99. That's a return to the record low price so it's a strong deal for a straightforward smart home display that's packed with features and includes the Amazon Alexa assistant for easy voice controls to get alerts, weather updates, play music, watch videos, and more.
If you're looking for a slightly bigger smart home display, Amazon has the latest Echo Show 8 on sale for £94.99 - another record-low price. The eight-inch display allows you to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices completely hands-free thanks to Alexa compatibility. The addition of room-filling spatial audio gives a big boost to all of these features to improve sound quality.
Here's a fantastic low price for a four-pack of smart plugs that offer a suite of handy features to control your devices around the home. You can use them with any existing socket and connect an assortment of devices such as chargers, lights, small appliances, and more – and monitor energy use. Remote controls, schedules, and more are all handled in the free smartphone app, plus they are compatible with Google Home and Alexa for voice control. We've highly praised previous TP-Link smart plugs here at TechRadar, so it's a brand we trust.
Black Friday deals - Kindles
The newest version of the standard Kindle is now on sale for the first time ever as part of the Black Friday sale at Amazon. It's a basic ereader, but it still boasts a six-week battery life and space for thousands of books. Given it's £45 cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader after a more budget-friendly option. It's still a solid option, though, with a 6-inch glare-free display, fast page turns and an adjustable front light to help you read in all environments.
Amazon's all-new Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for the first time since launch this Black Friday. Previous versions have been reduced to under £100 in the past, but it's unlikely we'll ever see an offer like that again on this upgraded version. We found in our Kindle Paperwhite review that it's packed with features to suit all avid readers, including an improved 12-week battery life, a larger glare-free 7-inch screen, adjustable warm light and storage space for thousands of books.
The Kindle Scribe has been discounted a handful of times now since its release and this is the cheapest price I've seen so far. It combines some of the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite, such as the glare-free and auto-adjusting display, along with the option to take notes, comment on documents, and doodle using the included stylus pen. Our Kindle Scribe review was down on some missing features that have been added in recent updates, so now this is good value for a multi-functional device.
Black Friday deals - Headphones
Even when they're at their standard price of £45, the Sony WH-CH520 are a bargain. Now, with an extra £10 off for Black Friday they are unbeatable value for money. These cans supply super-long-lasting battery life, impressive audio quality and companion app support for customizing EQ. Sure, you're not going to get fancy features like active noise cancellation here, but that's to be expected at a price like this.
If you want more affordable over-ears that don't compromise on quality then consider these Bose QuietComfort Headphones while they are down to a record-low price at Amazon for Black Friday. As with the Ultra version, you get impressive noise cancellation, top-tier audio quality and 24 hours of battery life but in a much more affordable package.
The Sony WH-1000MX4 are older now but they are still some of the best over-ear headphones ever. These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's about £70 less than the newer Sony XM5 that are only a minor upgrade. We still rate these as the best headphones for most people because you can find them at a price like this during major sales such as Black Friday.
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.
The XM5 are still the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 are outstanding, so it'll come as little surprise to know that these are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a £130 discount. They don't fold up like the XM4, but they're still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that are highly effective at blocking outside noise. Saving the extra £70 and getting the XM4 is still a viable option, though, if you aren't fussed about the latest tech and want to save some cash.
This is a new low price for the fantastic Bose QuestComfort Ultra Headphones and it's a great deal considering that there's a clear step up in sound compared to other premium cans. Superbly detailed and energetic sound meets the best noise cancellation you can get right now, in a light and comfortable design.
We already called the new version of these popular cheap earbuds 'great value for money' in our Sony WF-C510 review – and that was at the full asking price. At this new record-low price, I think they're an absolute steal and then some. Yes, 20 hours of battery can be bettered – but 10 hours from the buds alone certainly can't at this new price point. They're also light and comfortable, providing an exciting, musical sound that also beats the latest AirPods.
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.
An excellent price for earbuds with active noise cancellation, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 offer 24-bit studio-quality sound with adaptive EQ controlled by Galaxy AI. The battery life could be a little better at five hours – or an extra 19 hours through the charging case – but its useful features right down to being able to translate languages in real-time prove super useful.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the latest earbuds from the manufacturer and you can now get them for a record-low price for Black Friday. 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, an 11mm driver, and AI-powered features like a voice-call booster and a translation tool – providing 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.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are some of the manufacturer's best in terms of audio quality and noise cancellation – and they're not down to a record-low price for Black Friday. This latest model lasts up to 24 hours between both the buds and the case and features new CustomTune technology that adjusts the audio based on your ear shape. The Spatial Audio also makes the listening experience more immersive than ever with the option to swap between listening modes, depending on if you want to lose yourself in audio or stay alert.
Black Friday deals - Speakers
This is a really good value speaker, delivering solid and far-reaching audio from a small body, and it's now down to the lowest price I've ever seen for Black Friday. Anker's Soundcore range is always reliable, and this model is waterproof, features 24 hours of battery life, and is a convenient, compact size.
This updated Sonos Era 100 recently knocked the classic Sonos One off the top spot to become our favourite wireless speaker. It offers terrific audio quality for its small size with a rich soundscape and strong bass. It's also versatile so you can connect to it via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or an aux cable and fire music to it from multiple streaming services. The hefty starting price was the only off-putting factor in our Sonos Era 100 review, but this record-low makes it a great buy as an all-around home speaker.
This is the best discount yet on the imposing Sonos Era 300 speaker – and a considerable one too. It's the company's first speaker to support wide and expansive full-room audio through Dolby Atmos, which is only necessary for the most enthusiastic audiophiles. Still, it offers an impressive soundscape, as we found in our Sonos Era 300 review, so it's worth the investment at this deal price if that's you. However, most will be happy with the cheaper and greater value Era 100.
If portability is an important aspect of your speaker then Amazon has taken over £100 off the Sonos Move 2 for Black Friday. We awarded this four stars in our Sonos Move 2 review, praising the energic sound and punchy bass. Even though it's designed to be taken on the go, it is quite bulky so not easy to slip into a bag or backpack like most portable speakers, but it trumps those cheaper and smaller options when it comes to sound quality and battery life.
Black Friday deals - Tablets
A new version of the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet was only recently released and this latest budget-friendly slate has now got a huge 50% discount at Amazon 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.
A little bigger in size, the Amazon Fire HD 10 also sports a better screen thanks to its full HD panel. Content looks nicer, plus it has a convenient 5MP front-facing camera for taking calls as you move. It all comes together to provide a slightly faster and more appealing way to use a tablet, while still keeping costs down and providing that all-important Alexa support. This one is at a record-low price for Black Friday so it's well worth jumping on.
The Fire Max 11 is a bold play by Amazon to muscle in on the iPad's more premium turf, with a 2.2GHz octa-core chip (paired to 4GB RAM) which the company claims makes it almost 50% faster than its next-fastest tablet. A sharp 11-inch 1200 x 2000 display, Dolby Atmos audio and up to 14 hours of battery life round out a promising spec sheet. Today's offer is the best yet as it beats the previous record-low price by £5.
Here's a super-cheap Lenovo tablet deal in the Black Friday sales at Amazon. It's getting older now and the spec is lightweight but if you just need an affordable device for everyday jobs, watching videos and light use this will be up to the task.
This version from Samsung's budget tablet line-up has a less powerful processor compared to the Tab S range, a smaller 8.6-inch screen and only 64GB of storage. So, expect slightly slower performance and struggles with games or multitasking. However, if you only need a very basic tablet for light use – including general browsing, emails and watching videos – then it's up to the task and very affordable.
This Honor Pad 9 is an affordable and versatile 12.1-inch tablet that does it all. It'll serve you well as a device for watching videos and browsing the web, while also comfortably handling light work and admin tasks. Expect reasonable overall performance, an impressive 13-hour battery life, a smooth display and decent storage at 256GB. Overall, there isn't a better budget tablet deal out there right now – and you get a handy Bluetooth keyboard cover bundled in too.
A whole £80 off a budget-centric tablet isn't to be sniffed at, particularly as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE has 128GB of storage and a sizeable 10.9-inch screen with a resolution of 2304 x 1440 so it looks great for streaming shows on the move or simply sketching out some fun designs via the S Pen stylus which is included. Speedy and lightweight too, it’s an easy one to recommend if you like the Samsung way of doing things.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has been cut by £300 making it a bit of an Android tablet bargain. It features Samsung's most powerful tablet processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with AI capabilities incorporated into its system. The latest Vision Booster technology also supports a brilliant display that automatically adjusts brightness and contrast based on your environment.
Black Friday deals - Gaming
The PS5 is the console I use the most, and while I'm not the biggest Fortnite fan, I can appreciate the considerable saving on this bundle that includes a PlayStation 5 console and a Fortnite Starter Pack featuring cosmetics and V-Bucks. If you're not interested in the Fortnite goodies then you can also get the PS5 console by itself for £399.99 and save a tenner.
Even though the console has only just come out, EE has already taken £40 off the brand-new PS5 Pro. What's more, if you have an existing PS5 to trade in, you can get up to another £260 off, bringing the price to as little as £399. The upgraded PS5 Pro boasts greater power over the base console, enabling select games to look better and run smoother. Plus, there's 2TB of storage included, which is double the amount in the standard PS5. Just know, though, that this console doesn't have a disc drive so you'll need to buy all of your games digitally on the PS Store – or buy the PS5 Disc Drive accessory and attach it to the console to play physical games.
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition offers the same level of power and performance as the standard console, but it ships without a disc drive so you have to buy and play all of your games digitally. If that's not an issue, you get the benefit of paying £90 less for the console this Black Friday. If further down the line you do want to play physical copies of games then you can buy the disc drive add-on, but stock is very limited at the moment.
PSVR 2 is an incredible VR headset for PS5, and it's since been updated to work on PC. This bundle featuring Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the same price as the headset by itself at a new record-low price, so this is the version I'd recommend if you want the most bang for your buck. Especially as the accompanying game is a killer app for PSVR 2.
PS5 DualSense controllers in various colours are up to £20 for Black Friday. It's an ideal time to splash the cash or a bold new style that matches your personality or if your previous pad has fallen foul of stick drift or a failing battery – both of which have happened separately to my two current controllers. Looks like I'll be making the most of this offer, then.
There's a solid £50 saving available on the wonderful little Xbox Series S at Amazon. Microsoft's cheaper current generation console is not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but with this deal, it's over £250 cheaper and still capable of playing all the same games in full HD. Pair this with an Xbox Game Pass subscription and it's a good option if you want to game on a budget.
Multiple colour variants of the latest Xbox Wireless Controller are now available from £38.99 at Amazon for Black Friday. This well-loved and easy-to-use gamepad is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles, PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. This is a good price to bite on as I've only seen these controllers for £4 less in the past.
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.
There was a time when Animal Crossing New Horizons was everything. The fervour with which so many lapped up the quaint life-management game back when it was originally released was quite astounding. If you somehow missed it during its peak, you can get this fantastic value bundle at Argos this Black Friday. It features the slimmed-down Nintendo Switch Lite console (in either turquoise or coral) a copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons and a 12-month Switch Online membership – all for under £200.
The Asus ROG Ally is a respectable Steam Deck competitor that delivers with its powerful CPU/GPU. Its touchscreen display supports full HD up to 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. As for its memory, it effectively juggles tasks with 16GB of RAM and stores up to 512GB of games, apps, and more. Its lightweight build, cooling system, and other quality-of-life features add to a solid package for a gaming handheld. Plus, you get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate included for free allowing you to try out game streaming on the device from day one.
Another year, another update to EA's all-consuming football sim – and it's perhaps just as unsurprising to see EA FC 25 get its first significant discount for Black Friday. In many respects its a reskin of last year's game, but with just enough changes and graphical tweaks to make it worthwhile. And who else would be on the cover but Jude Bellingham?
Atlus has knocked it out of the park once again with Metaphor ReFantazio: a deep and detailed fantastical RPG that mixes tight turn-based combat, grand storytelling, fascinating characters and slick presentation all into a single package. With anywhere between 60 - 100 hours of gameplay on offer the value for money here is undeniable, making this a must-buy for JRPG fans.
Stellar Blade was one of this year's biggest PS5 exclusive games and it's now down to its cheapest price yet for Black Friday. The debut game from Korean developer Shift Up is a stylish and flashy sci-fi action RPG with tight combat and a fascinating post-apocalyptic world to explore. Comparisons to Nier Automata are easy to make and it borrows a lot of elements of the Dark Souls series, but this is still a solid game in its own right.
Black Friday deals - Health & Beauty
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.
This Oral-B iO5 model sits between the reasonably-priced and eye-wateringly expensive electric toothbrushes from the manufacturer, making it a difficult one to easily recommend. Most of us will be happy with the cheaper Pro 3 as it works fine and has all the useful safety features you need, while enthusiasts will appreciate the more advanced smart features in the pricier iO8. This one offers an OK middle-ground, with some basic brush tracking in a connected app to help you improve and refine your teeth-cleaning habits.
This dental flosser comes from the premium brand Waterpik and there's a small saving available for Black Friday that brings it back to a record-low price. With multiple brush heads, a compact size, ten pressure settings, good battery life, and a large reservoir, it's one of the better options available if it's your first time trying a water flosser.
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 two spare blades, an adjustable comb, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.
I bought this massage gun myself and found it to be excellent value for money, so I definitely recommend it at this record-low price. It's easy to use, quiet, has four attachments to target different muscles and has six speed settings to suit your preferred pressure. The detachable handle is a nice addition, too, so you can easily reach your back.
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.
Black Friday deals - Phones
Argos has slashed the device-only price of the excellent iPhone 15 Pro from £999 to a record-low £849 ahead of Black Friday. If you're not yet convinced by the iPhone 16 and still fancy taking Apple Intelligence for a spin, this is a great-value handset that'll remain supported with updates until at least 2028. In fact, I'd argue that this is the biggest Black Friday phone bargain of 2024.
For Apple's larger 15 Pro model, Amazon has the deal-based bragging rights. The mega-retailer is currently offering the 256GB model for just £1,049, and the bigger 512GB model for an impressively low £1,149. Neither of these iPhone 15 Pro Max prices are likely to be beaten on Black Friday itself.
Despite its discontinuation, Argos is still stocking the 128GB iPhone 13 in black or white. £449 is an exceptional price on an iPhone that is, for all intents and purposes, the same device as the iPhone 14, and it'll continue to be supported by Apple with software updates until at least 2026 (likely 2027). The iPhone 13 is also currently still available at Amazon, albeit in more limited color and storage configurations.
With its capable Exynos 1380 chipset, bright 6.6-inch display and hefty 5,000mAh battery, the Galaxy A35 is a great phone for those who want to save money and have no need of the advanced bells and whistles in the pricier flagship handsets. It's currently on sale at Amazon for a record-low price of £289.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: £49.99 per month with unlimited data 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.
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
Even though a newer version is available, the Google Pixel 8 Pro remains one of the best Android phones and a beautifully designed handset. We rated the gorgeous display 5/5 in our review, and the triple camera array on the back of the phone has class-leading features. The Tensor G3 chipset, designed by Google, keeps things running snappily, and 12GB of RAM is plenty for multitasking and AI. This deal brings a truly premium device to an incredibly low price for a flagship phone.
Black Friday deals - Smartwatches
The latest release in Fitbit's range of dedicated fitness trackers has dropped to its cheapest price for Black Friday. It's a decent £40 saving on a device we found lighter, prettier and smarter compared to the previous version in our Fitbit Charge 6 review. Key features include a seven-day battery life, onboard GPS and GLONASS, sleep tracking, smart wake, SpO2 blood oxygen tracking and all the other features the excellent Charge 5 offered.
The latest Fitbit Versa 4 is down to a record-low price for Black Friday at Amazon. It's a great buy for fitness and sleep-tracking enthusiasts, as we wrote in our Fitbit Versa 4 review. It comes with loads of handy connectivity features like Google Wallet, Maps, and Bluetooth calls, as well as six days of battery life, loads of workout profiles, and advanced sleep tracking.
The Sense 2 is Fitbit's most advanced smartwatch, with stress-management tools, sleep tracking and all the advanced health tools you'd expect from a premium device. Plus, battery life is six or more days, it's water-resistant up to 50m and you get six months of Fitbit Premium out of the box. Amazon's current deal is definitely one to get on as it brings the wearable we awarded three stars in our Fitbit Sense 2 review to the lowest price we've ever seen.
The discount may be small but the Fitbit Inspire 3 is an excellent value-for-money device for newcomers or those curious about the usefulness of exercise tracking. The battery lasts for a lengthy ten days and the tracker is packed with features and content that a beginner needs to get started - especially at this price.
Amazon UK is offering a whopping £70 off the Pixel Watch 3, dropping it to a new lowest-ever price of £279. Available in all four colours, you get all of Google's health tracking, exercise, and sleep monitoring features. You can also save 16% on the LTE model if you want to go phone-free.
Black Friday deals - Cameras
It feels like retro instant cameras have been all the rage lately and if you've been tempted to try one out for yourself then here's a small but welcome saving on the Instax Mini 40. The popular device scored four stars in our Fujifilm Instax Mini 40 review, we liked its retro style, ease of use and affordable film, although it is pricier than many other instant cameras. Still, if it's more about the aesthetics and the vibes then this is a slick and capable snapper.
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.
Black Friday deals - Toys
If you've not got the space – or the bank balance – for the Ultimate Collector's version of the Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon then this scaled-down version is a good compromise at 33% off. At 1,351 pieces it's a less intimidating build than the over £500 version, plus you get 7 minifigures and various interior details to construct.
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.
Another massive Lego set gets a big discount for Black Friday. This time it's the iconic Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter, which is made up of over 6,000 pieces. A serious build for whoever gets stuck into this one! As well as that grand building, you can also build other figures and elements recognisable from the school of witchcraft and wizardry, such as Hagrid's hut, Aragog the spider and the Flying Ford Anglia.
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.
Black Friday 2024: Key Information
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.

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.
