Greetings from a rainy New York City. This is deals editor Louis here spotlighting some of my favorite Black Friday deals for the rest of this day. One of the biggest sales that’s caught my eye this morning comes from Vitamix. They make some of the best blenders we’ve tested and their Black Friday deals are officially live now. The sale includes the new Ascent X Series of blenders, which pack some cool features like an automatic self-cleaning mode, 48-ounce container, and sleek new design. They also come with a 10-year full warranty. They’re up to $150 off right now and other blenders are on sale from $99 (along with accessories and attachments). The perfect appliance for anyone hosting holiday get-togethers in the coming weeks.
Vitamix blenders: from $99 @ Amazon

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is a fantastic little Bluetooth spaker that’s surprisingly bassy given its small size. It’s built for the outdoors and manages a huge 16 hours on a single charge.
For the full breakdown, you can read our Wonderboom 4 review here but right now it’s discounted by 21% at Amazon. Invest in this now and you’ll be thanking us when summer 2025 rolls around.

In an effort to increase sustainability many gadgets are starting to ship without a wall charger in the box. Apple started the trend with the iPhone 12 and many others have followed.
Luckily, the Anker 713 Nano II is on sale for just $19 at Amazon; that’s a massive 51% off the regular price. This little high-capacity portable charger will become your new travel essential, charging up your MacBook or iPhone without breaking a sweat.

Fans of The North Face may want to check out the brand’s current Black Friday deals that we’ve covered in depth here. At a time when winter wardrobes need an update, some of these deals are worth jumping on right away.
For example, you can get the Willow Stretch Jacket (pictured above) for just $77 at The North Face right now. That’s a tidy saving over its $110 original price. This practical jacket is made of stretchy material that handles light rain and wind.

The latest Dell XPS 13 is one of the best laptops on the market and is seen as the de facto Windows-based rival to Apple’s MacBook Air. This portable powerhouse now comes with the overwhelmingly powerful Snapdragon X Elite processor which just makes things even better.
All configurations have dropped in price over at Dell for Black Friday, but you can get the cheapest spec for under $900 now. This includes 512GB of storage and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
Dell XPS 13: was $1,199 now $899 @ Dell
The Oura Ring Gen 3 is not the latest smart ring from Oura — that would be the Gen 4. But the Gen 3 is the less expensive model, especially with Amazon dropping the price to an all-time low.
Right now, you’ll pay $249 for an Oura Ring Gen 3 at Amazon, a 17% discount off the smart ring’s regular price. That matches the lowest price Amazon’s ever charged.
Our Oura Ring Gen 4 vs. Oura Ring Gen 3 comparison goes into the ins and outs of what you sacrifice for the lower-priced older version. Essentially, the Gen 4 ring is much more accurate and promises to last a little longer on a charge. But all the things the rings are tracking are the same, with Gen 3 users enjoying the same experience with the Oura app. If that sounds worth getting a smart ring at half the price of the newer model, then jump on this deal.
Oura Ring Gen 3: was $299 now $249 @ Amazon
Right now, you can pick up the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation at Amazon for $168, $11 off their regular price. Pretty sweet deal, huh? But what if I told you, you could get the AirPods Pro 2 for even less?
Apple’s wireless earbuds have hit their lowest price yet at Amazon, which is charging just $153 for the AirPods Pro 2. That’s 38% off of what you’d normally pay. And yes, the AirPods 4 have come out more recently, but firmware updates have brought new features to the AirPods Pro 2, such as a way to monitor your hearing health. You also get the active noise cancellation and spatial audio support that makes Apple’s earbuds so appealing.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $153 @ Amazon
It’s not often you see huge sales on Coleman gear, but now that Black Friday week is in full swing, Amazon is slashing the price of various Coleman gear. Deals expert Olivia Halevy has rounded up some of her favorite products along with today’s best deals. Check out her roundup of the top Coleman Black Friday deals here. The sale includes some summery items, but lots of fall/winter gear as well, such as sleeping bags, coolers, stoves, and more.
Coleman sale: deals from $32 @ Amazon
Coway makes some of the best air purifiers we’ve tested. The Airmega AP-1512HH is one of our favorites and it’s especially great at saving energy. Right now there’s a huge sale on Coway air purifiers at Amazon with deals starting from $76. The sale includes the Airmega AP-1512HH which is on sale for $141. Our streaming editor Kelly Woo owns one and recommends them especially if you suffer from allergies/congestion. It’s simple to use, features an energy saving mode, and it does an excellent job of cleaning the air quality in your home.

Every Black Friday I say I’m gonna take advantage of streaming deals and every year I end up missing out. Well, not this year, folks. There are a lot of streaming deals available right now and the one that’s caught my eye is Max for as little as $2.99month. There are various plans and various price points/deals available right now. For example, if you go the annual route you can get Max Ultimate Ad-free (4K) for $209/year, which is $41 off. Make sure to check out our roundup of the best Black Friday streaming deals available.
Greetings, everyone! Deals EIC Louis here taking over our Black Friday deals live blog for the day. So Thanksgiving Week is here and today’s headliner is Walmart. Their Black Friday deals will go live at 12 p.m. (ET) for Walmart Plus members or 5 p.m. (ET) for everyone else. The Tom’s Guide staff is working on this Walmart Black Friday deals live blog which we’ll be updating all day. So make sure to give it a look as we highlight the best sales coming out of Walmart today.
If you’re looking for a December project to get stuck into, how about picking up a new Lego set? Right now Amazon is offering huge discounts on Lego sets that include everything from Star Wars to Mario.
Right now, the Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant is down 20% at Amazon. Not only does this Super Mario themed set look iconic, you can even pose the Piranha Plant’s leaves, stalk and mouth.
Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant: was $59 now $47 @ Amazon
Vacuum cleaners don’t come much better than Dyson and there’s some great Black Friday savings on the British brand right now. My pick goes to the Dyson V11 cordless vacuum that’s currently down to $349 at Amazon right now.
That’s a massive 39% price drop on a vacuum we called the perfect middle-of-the-road Dyson. It’s got a 60 minute battery life, LCD screen that shows cleaning mode and runtime and an anti-tangle brush head that won’t get clogged up with hair. In our Dyson V11 review, we said it “hits the sweet spot between price and performance”.
Dyson V11 Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $569 now $349 @ Amazon
Now seems to be the time to get an Apple Watch, with prices falling all over on the various Apple smartwatch models. The entry-level Apple Watch SE is a good example of that trend, as Amazon is now charging just $169 for the Apple Watch SE 2022. That matches the all-time low we saw back on Amazon Prime Day.
The Apple Watch SE is an excellent starter watch, and particularly good for kids, especially with features that can track fitness and activity. Spring for the cellular-connected version of the watch — it’s currently $80 off at $219 — and you can use the Family Setup feature to add location tracking to the watch’s bag of tricks.
Apple Watch SE (40mm; GPS): was $249 now $169 @ Amazon
Sonos Ace gets first big discount
The Sonos Ace is one of the best premium wireless headphones around, and they just got less premium. Right now you can save $100 off on Amazon, which brings the price down to a much more reasonable $349.
So what do you get for your money. Our Sonos Ace review shows that these headphones deliver excellent sound and noise cancelling performance in a sleek design. They also integrate well with the Sonos Arc soundar and you get up to 30 hours of battery life. If you’re looking to upgrade your headphones, this is a great Black Friday deal.
New MacBook Pro M4 $200 off!
The new MacBook Pro M4 had a dinky discount at first, but not anymore. Right now you can get the 14-inch MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 chip for $1,399. That’s $200 off the regular price for one of the best laptops I’ve tested this year.
As you’ll see in my MacBook Pro M4 review, this laptop delivers super fast performance and 16GB of RAM, which makes the most of Apple’s full range of Apple Intelligence features — from Writing Tools to Image Playground. We also saw over 18 hours of battery life in our testing, and I really like the new 12MP Center Stage webcam that keeps you centered in the frame as you move around.
With only a few more days until the main event, Black Friday sales are really starting to heat up. For those in the U.S., there could not be a better time to get prepped for Thanksgiving. I’ve been trawling the web for the best kitchen deals. If you’ve got a small kitchen like me, there’s nothing worse than cooking for a large family only to run out of oven or stove space halfway through.
The Ninja Foodi 10-Quart Dual Zone XL Air Fryer is currently a massive 43% off, reduced down to just $129. If you’re a prime member and you order today, you should receive this before Thanksgiving.
In our Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer review, we named it the ‘Best Dual Zone Air Fryer’ and loved how easily it cooked a whole chicken.
If you’re looking for the best headphones money can buy, you can’t beat the Sony WH-1000XM5. They’re our favorite headphones for a reason, and they’re now $101 off in Amazon’s Black Friday — meaning you’ll pay $298.
The WH-1000XM5 offer some of the best sound you can get in a pair of headphones, while still maintaining a comfortable fit. So you can be wearing them for long periods of time with no ill-effects, especially since the battery life is rated for up to 30 hours of playback. Mic quality is excellent too, which is perfect for phone calls, and the active noise cancelation will keep all that pesky background noise at bay.
Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones: was $399 now $298 @ Amazon
The PS5 deals are finally getting starting in earnest! Yesterday, PS5 bundle prices were hovering around the $449 mark at Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy — We’re talking the PS5 NBA 2K25 bundle specifically here. This was an alright deal at around $50 off.
However, this morning Amazon has slashed prices on the PS5 by another $75, meaning the same bundle is now only $374, so $125 off MSRP. Walmart and Best Buy have also slashed their prices to match, so if stocks don’t last at one vendor, you still have options.
PS5 NBA 2K25 bundle: was $499 now $374 at Amazon.
Adidas make some pretty dependable shoes and the Daily 4.0 Sneaker for men is an everyday favorite. In fact, these sneakers are a bestseller on Amazon and feature casual color-block style is simple, timeless and goes with any outfit.
They’ve also got a soft leather upper and a reinforced toe and, best of all, are nicely discounted for Black Friday. Right now, you can get them from $39 at Amazon depending on size.
Adidas Daily 4.0 Sneaker (Men’s): was $65 now from $39 @ Amazon
I have some good news and bad news to share. So the good news is that the Apple Store just announced their Black Friday Shopping Event. (Hooray!) The bad news is that it’s the same sale as always. (Booo!) So here are the details: it starts on November 29 (next Friday) and they’re bundling up to a $200 Apple gift card for free with the purchase of select Apple devices. The part that totally sucks is that a lot of cool new Apple devices (like the iPhone 16, Mac mini M4 and Apple Watch 10) don’t qualify for the sale. So my advice: buy those items from Apple-authorized resellers, like Amazon and Best Buy. (I’m buying a Mac mini M4 and that’s probably what I’ll be doing). Here’s the breakdown of Apple’s sale:
Greetings from a cloudy and rainy NYC. Deals editor in chief Louis here taking over our Black Friday deals live blog for the next few hours. So a lot has happened overnight. Amazon and Best Buy both dropped their “official” Black Friday deals. That means there are literally hundreds of deals that are live today and our deal expert Millie Davis-Williams has been vetting them all this morning. You can check out her live blog via the link below.
Black Friday is probably the best time of year to beef up your video game collection. There’s deals on all the major platforms that’ll keep you stocked up with things to play over the winter months.
For example, the epic Final Fantast XVI on PS5 is currently $10 off at Amazon right now. This action-focused reinvention of Square Enix’s long-running RPG franchise that spins a yarn closer to “Game of Thrones” than any of the previous entries. It’s a gripping tale that’s laden with twists, that lets players wield all kinds of powers in precise, real-time battles as you travel the length and breadth of a world called Valisthea.
Final Fantasy XVI: was $49 now $39 @ Amazon
Amazon is offering some epic sales on Skechers shoes. For example, right now you can save 25% on the Skechers Go-Walk Slip-On hiking shoes. They promise comfort and stability with enhanced traction and a memory foam insole cushion that suggests you’ll be able to romp around rough terrain without your feet taking a pounding. Discounts vary based on size and color scheme, but the black Go-Walk hiking shoes happen to be 25% off the regular $84 price, for a total of $62.
Skechers Go-Walk Slip-On hiking shoes: Up to 25% off at Amazon
Target Deal Days is on! The retailer just launched a fresh batch of deals and our very own deals expert Olivia Halevy has rounded up all of her top picks in her Target Black Friday deals roundup. As someone in need of a new Xmas tree, one of the sales I’m most interested in is Target’s holiday decor sale which is taking up to 30% off Xmas decorations and trees. Tis the season!
Target: up to 50% off sitewide @ Target
Exclusive deal on an epic vacuum…
I love my Shark vacuum. I’ve had it for over a year and it’s probably the best vacuum I’ve used. Well, Shark recently launched a new model (IP3251) and you can use our exclusive coupon code “TG150” to knock $150 off its price. This is the first time it’s on sale and it’s a product we 100% recommend. In our Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty Vacuum System review, we said the Editor’s Choice vacuum makes it incredibly convenient to quickly tidy up around the house, and its dual-brushroll design and powerful suction are able to tackle all sorts of debris. Yes, it’s a little bulky when compared to other lightweight models, and its sensors require regular maintenance to keep them working properly, but we love the vacuum’s performance across different floor types and that it picks up debris both on the forward and backward pass. By comparison, Best Buy has it for $499 and Amazon is sold out.
Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty System: was $499 now $349 @ Shark via coupon “TG150”
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Deals editor Louis here taking over our Black Friday deals live blog for the rest of today. I’m not a PC gamer (the last PC game I played was probably Quake II), but Tom’s Guide news editor Alyse Stanley is and she’s been tracking some of the best PC gaming deals all month. She recently put together a roundup of the best deals happening at Dell. (You can read her Dell Black Friday deals guide here). It’s got monitors, laptops, desktops, and everything in between.
Dell gaming PC sale: deals from $699 @ Dell
Check out our best laptops ranking and you’ll see that the 13-inch MacBook Air M3 has the top spot. But if you want a bigger display, you can currently get the 15-inch MacBook Air M3 for $999 at Amazon. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review also noted that it had incredible 15-hour battery life. If you want this laptop, remember to click the on-page coupon before you head to the checkout.
MacBook Air 15″ (M3/256GB): was $1,299 now $999 @ Amazon
The best video doorbell is on sale for Black Friday. Right now you can get the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus for $99 at Amazon. We love this model for its sharp video quality, head-to-toe video and ease of use. You don’t get local video storage or package detection, but otherwise, this is a great buy.
Ring Battery Doorbell Plus: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon
New price drop…
Hey, everyone! Deals editor Louis here with a quick update on today’s best sales. So I’ve been waiting for this deal all month. Not because I’m planning on buying it, but because it was a hit during Prime Day. This bundle includes the Blink Outdoor 4 camera, which earned our Editor’s Choice award and is one of the best home security cameras we’ve tested. It also features a Mini 2 camera with Alexa integration. Combined with the included video doorbell, this bundle is great for keeping an eye on the surroundings of your home. It was on sale most of this month for $139, which ain’t a bad deal — but I knew it would drop further in price and here we are. It’s now at its lowest price ever!
Blink Whole Home Bundle: was $199 now $89 @ Amazon
Here’s another super-cheap OLED TV deal. Right now you can get the 55-inch LG B3 OLED for $798 at Walmart. While this is an older model, it’s a total steal after a discount of this size. In our LG B3 OLED TV review we called it amazing value and praised its colorful picture and excellent smart interface. Gamers will also appreciate its low lag time.
LG 55″ B3 4K OLED TV: was $1,198 now $798 @ Walmart
Amazon’s 4K streamer has crashed to a new all-time low price ahead of Black Friday. In our Fire TV Stick 4K review, we liked its sharp video quality and affordable price. There’s a lot of advertising to contend with in the Fire TV streaming interface, but if you don’t mind that, this is a solid buy.
Fire TV Stick 4K: was $49 now $21 @ Amazon
The air quality in the New York/tri-state area has been pretty bad this past month. There have been various brushfires throughout the region and two weekends ago it was so bad you could actually smell smoke in the air. Last year I got the Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max and I absolutely love having it in our living room. It’s designed for medium rooms and can clean a 1,858 sq. ft. room in an hour. It features a HEPA filter and can remove at least 99.97% of tiny airborne particles like viruses and smoke down to 0.1 microns. If you suffer from allergies, it also captures pet dander, pollen, mold, allergen, and dust. Note that the Blue Pure 211+ is also on sale for $271 and our homes editor Cynthia Lawrence named it one of the best air purifiers she’s tested.
Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max: was $229 now $159 @ Amazon
Blueair sale: deals from $69 @ Amazon
A must if you work from home…
My wife and I both worth from home and we both have standing desks. She uses the Steelcase Solo Sit-to-Stand Desk, which is sturdy, stylish, and highly customizable. To be honest, I sometimes get a little envious of her desk because it just looks awesome with its black base and Ash Noce laminate finish. Right now Steelcase is taking up to 25% off sitewide as part of its Black Friday sale. The sale includes the Steelcase Solo Sit-to-Stand Desk now on sale for $764 (was $849). It’s an epic price drop for such a solidly built standing desk. (Note: The sale also includes chairs, stools, and other accessories).
Steelcase Black Friday sale: up to 25% off sitewide @ Steelcase
Are you in the market for some high-quality cookware? My colleague Olivia Halevy has a recommendation for you! She’s been testing out the All-Clad Nonstick Cookware Set and she’s a huge fan of the pots and pans that do not stick. Even better? The 13-piece set is currently $320 off at Amazon. Plus, dozens of other All-Clad cookware and bakeware pieces are now up to 52% off.
All-Clad Nonstick Cookware Set (13-piece): was $799 now $479 @ Amazon
Microsoft’s Surface Pro Copilot+ PC just got an epic price cut. You can get the Surface Pro for just $899 right now. The 2-in-1 features a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. You also get a 12-inch 2880 x 1920 PixelSense LCD along with an epic 14-hour battery life. In our Microsoft Surface Pro 11 review our computing writer Tony Polanco said it’s the best version of Microsoft’s 2-in-1 we’ve seen in years. If you can spend a little more on the upgraded configuration, you’ll get an amazing OLED screen and more powerful Snapdragon X Elite CPU. (Personally, I would get the $1,199 model for that gorgeous OLED screen and more CPU power).
MS Surface Pro Copilot+ PC: was $1,199 now $899 @ Best Buy
MS Surface Pro Copilot+ PC OLED: was $1,499 now $1,199 @ Best Buy
Here’s a personal TV recommendation. My mom has the 50-inch Roku Select 4K TV in her living room and I think it’s an amazing TV. Colors are bright, sound is excellent, and it has Roku’s amazing operating system baked right in. It’s such an awesome TV that I have the smaller 32-inch 1080p model in my bedroom. Generally speaking, I would never recommend a 1080p TV these days (since 4K TVs are so affordable), but if your space requires a 32-incher, the Roku is a solid option.
If you want even better picture quality, there’s also the Roku QLED series (also on sale) and the Roku Pro series (also on sale). The Pro series adds Mini-LED technology for richer blacks and stronger contrast. If you’re on a budget or not super fussy about picture quality — the Select series is awesome.
50″ Roku Select Series 4K TV: was $299 now $199 @ Amazon
32″ Roku 1080p TV: was $148 now $139 @ Amazon
Here are the sales I’m watching this week…
G’morning, everyone! Deals editor Louis here back for another week of deals. So Thanksgiving is next week and things are getting busier than ever. There are Black Friday deals happening at practically every retailer and there’s two big events I’m eyeing this week. On Thursday (November 21), both Amazon and Best Buy are going to launch their respective “official” Black Friday deals. Both retailers have been offering Black Friday sales since October, so what’s really changing is that whatever isn’t on sale now, will likely go on sale on Thursday. We’ll be watching and highlighting any new deals from all retailers as they’re released this week. (If you’re wondering about Walmart, their next big deals drop is next Monday on November 25).
You know it’s Black Friday when Ring deals come around! Right now the new Ring Battery Doorbell is on sale for a great price of just $59. We rank it as the best video doorbell under $100, and we love its sharp 1080p video that records guests head-to-toe.
Ring Battery Doorbell: was $99 now $59 @ Amazon
The best tablet is on sale for an excellent discount ahead of Black Friday. The iPad Air M2 is a solid all-around slate that delivers snappy performance thanks to Apple’s M2 chip, as well as long 11-hour battery life. You can also add the Magic Keyboard and/or the Apple Pencil to make this tablet into a laptop replacement, but these are sold separately.
iPad Air M2 (Wi-Fi/128GB): was $599 now $499 @ Amazon
Building meets building
LEGO and Minecraft have brought the building video game to the beloved plastic building bricks. Right now, you can get an awesome diamond sword Minecraft LEGO set from Walmart for $30, which is $15 off the regular price. It has a giant version of the iconic sword that looks fun to build, plus plenty of miniature figures.
Any Minecraft fan will love this for a holiday gift. Or, if you’re a Minecraft fan, you can snag it for yourself while it’s on sale. In fact, I bought this for my seven-year-old stepson, who can’t get enough of both the video game and building LEGO. I’ll report his thoughts once he receives it on Christmas day.
A $599 OLED? Yes please!
OLED TVs are typically a lot more expensive than other types of displays. Even going down to a smaller size will cost a pretty penny compared to an LED or other more affordable screen technology. So when I saw that Best Buy had a 48″ LG OLED for $599, I had to do a double take to ensure it was real. It’s definitely real, and it’s the right price.
You can read our LG B4 review to better understand what this TV brings to the table, but we called it the “value OLED TV of the year” while giving it a solid four out of five rating. This is an early Black Friday deal that isn’t to be missed by anyone in the marker for a TV with next-level picture quality at a good price.
Get your game on
Black Friday is the best time of year to get video games at a considerable discount. Not only can you pick up games from the previous year for dirt cheap, but you can also get new releases with significant price drops. Amazon has already started rolling out some video game deals on games released in the last few months, and we will continue to monitor them to catch other deals as they drop. To kick it off, you can snag the latest game in the long-running Madden football series. Our Madden 25 review said the game restored our love for the annual football franchise.
Madden NFL 25: was $69 now $34 @ Amazon
NHL 25: was $69 now $34 @ Amazon
Is this an Amazon pricing error…?!
I highlighted this deal in our Apple Black Friday deals live blog and I think it merits a shout out here too. Why? Well, because it’s one of my favorite Apple deals right now. (Especially if you’re a student or a little tight on cash). So long story short, Amazon is selling the MacBook Air M2 (8GB RAM) and the MacBook Air M2 (16GB RAM) for $749 each. The 8GB model crashed to $649 earlier, so while it sounds like a good deal — it’s been cheaper before. The deal I would get is this one: the 16GB RAM model for $749. That 16GB of RAM will help future-proof your Mac and makes this a killer deal. It’s also the cheapest price I’ve seen for the upgraded 16GB model. Is this a pricing error on Amazon’s part? I honestly have no clue, but I’d jump on this deal fast before its price goes back up!
MacBook Air (M2/8GB RAM): was $999 now $749 @ Amazon

Mark your calendars! I own a fair amount of Lululemon apparel and I just got a newsletter e-mail from the company announcing an “Early Access Black Friday Members Event” happening on November 21. Lululemon doesn’t do sales, but they do have a section on their website called “We Made Too Much” where they discount apparel/items that they have too much stock of. The November 21st event is for members only (it’s free to join at Lululemon) and exclusive to the app, but what I’m saying is you don’t have to wait till then because they just restocked their We Made Too Much section. I personally plan on getting another pair of Pace Breaker Shorts for $39 because I love the ones I currently use for the gym.
We Made Too Much: finds from $9 @ Lululemon
Tom’s Guide is home to a lot of runners (myself included) and if you’re lacing up in search of a new PR, you could do a lot worse than Hoka. I’m personally an Asics kinda guy, but our fitness expert and marathon runner Nick Harris-Fry has some thoughts on the best Hoka discounts you can shop now.
“Hoka makes some of the best running shoes available, and the Black Friday deals this year actually include one of my favorite new shoes of 2024,” he wrote in his Hoka Black Friday deals roundup. Below are a few standouts worth checking out.
Hoka sale: deals from $9 @ Hoka
It wouldn’t be Black Friday without a proper Amazon device sale and right now Amazon has its collection of Alexa-powered devices on sale from $19. Yes, you can find Amazon devices on sale on any major holiday, but Prime Day and Black Friday are the holidays when you’ll find the cheapest prices. (Black Friday usually beats Prime Day by a few bucks, from what I’ve seen in previous years). Just a heads up that not all devices are on sale. I expect more Ring devices to go on sale in the coming days, for example. Otherwise, now’s a great time to replace that aging Echo speaker! (In fact, I may replace my own Echo, too).
Amazon device sale: deals from $19
Let me start by saying I’m team iPhone. I’ve owned one since the iPhone 6s. (!!) That said, I watch a lot of K-dramas (you need to stream Gyeongseong Creature) and I admit that I get a little phone envy when I see characters pull out their Galaxy phones. So if I were to switch — I think I’d go Samsung Galaxy. Right now, Samsung is slashing up to $1,575 off all Galaxy phones with trade-in. Naturally, you’ll get a juicier discount with trade-in, but even if you don’t have an old phone to trade, you can still score a sweet discount. While you’re at it, check out our Samsung Black Friday deals roundup written by deals editor extraordinaire, Millie Davis-Williams.
All Galaxy phones: up to $1,575 off @ Samsung
Galaxy S24 Ultra: $800 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung
Galaxy S24 Plus: $650 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung
Galaxy S24: $540 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung
My favorite bed is on sale…
It’s been well over a year since I wrote our Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress review and you know what — I still love this bed. It’s a hybrid bed, which means it’s made of both memory foam and coils. I personally love it because it gives me the cradling/soft sensation of a memory foam bed, but without that sinking sensation (thank you, coils). I sleep on my back and side a lot and I find this bed to be super comfortable for those positions. It’s also great at isolating motion (my partner doesn’t feel when I get up from bed in the middle of the night).
Stomach sleepers may want to look elsewhere as I didn’t find it too comfortable for that. I was also a tad disappointed that the sides/corners of the mattress tend to sink in. (Keep in mind I’m 6’3″ and weigh 245 lbs….ok, 250 lbs. after getting married last month). BUT those very minor gripes aside, this is as perfect of a bed as it gets!

The least-expensive OLED TV deal of 2024 is….
Last year Best Buy had the LG A2 OLED on sale for $549. Till this day — it’s the least-expensive OLED TV deal I’ve ever seen. That TV no longer exists and LG’s new (2024) B4 OLED is currently their entry-level model. Right now, Best Buy is selling the 48-inch model for just $599. That’s the cheapest price I’ve ever seen for this OLED all year. In fact, it’s the cheapest OLED TV I’ve seen since that A2 deal from last year.
Is it a good TV? Our TV reviewer Ryan Epps says it’s a “slam-dunk pick” if you’re shopping for an OLED TV on a budget, although there are some things you should know. The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive; otherwise, Amazon has the 65″ on sale for $1,296 (as well as other sizes).

G’morning, all! Deals editor Louis here taking over the live blog for the next few hours. So this month I’m planning on buying a Mac mini M4. (Or maybe an iMac M4….I’m still deciding). It’s gonna replace my aging Intel-based 27″ iMac 5K (2015). That said, I can’t believe there’s already a decent sale on the Mac mini M4. I say that because we just published our Mac mini M4 review a week or so ago and Amazon’s already knocked $50 off the base model.
This is a great chance to snag one with a tidy launch discount, and as you can read in our review it’s worth the price thanks to this silver little box’s remarkable speed. Just make sure to bring your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse as this pint-sized powerhouse doesn’t come with one.

Black Friday deals don’t get better than this! The Hisense U8N is our choice for the best TV and right now it’s on sale for an epic 40% discount. It’s incredibly bright and delivers great all-around picture performance. We already considered it to be great value for money at full price, so right now, it’s a total steal.

This Blink bundle is a great way to give your smart home security setup a boost. The Blink Outdoor 4 is one of the best security cameras we’ve tested, particularly for shoppers on a budget. Its sharp video quality and long battery life make it a winner.
