Is it already Black Friday? Technically, it isn't, as the official date is November 27. However, that hasn't stopped retailers from launching sales early. That means there are a lot of deals out there already, but how many are actually worth buying right now? That's what I'm here to help with, by sharing the top deal recommendations from myself and the team of experts at TechRadar.

Big names such as Argos, Currys, AO, Dyson, EE, and Shark/Ninja have all kicked off sales now, while the likes of Amazon are teasing a few offers before the start of its full sale. I've looked through all of these and more to pick out several standout deals on TVs, appliances, games consoles, headphones, laptops, phones, smartwatches, and more.

You can use the quick list below to browse the sales for yourself, or head further down for my top picks from all the deals currently available. I've chosen these based on price history and our own testing here at TechRadar, so you can feel confident that these are some of the best tech products at genuinely good prices. Plus, I've chucked in a few bargain gift ideas if you're looking for some inspiration.

If you're still a little unsure about buying this early, then there isn't much harm in waiting if you'd prefer. However, it's worth knowing that many stores are offering a 'Price Guarantee' on select products throughout the sales. That can either mean certain items won't be cheaper in the next month, or you can claim a refund for the difference if an eligible item does drop further after you bought it.

Keep that in mind if buying now will help spread out your shopping during this busy sales period, or if you don't have the patience to wait on a must-have deal.

The best Black Friday sales — quick links

My top 10 deals this weekend

Battery Video Doorbell + Ring Outdoor Camera: was £159.98 now £54.99
This excellent value bundle includes the latest version of the Ring Video Doorbell and a Ring Outdoor Camera for a cheap and easy way to get started with home security. We've tested these and have been impressed with the video quality, high zoom, and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is only usable 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's worth the cost.View Deal

WH-1000XM4C Wireless Headphones: was £219.99 now £179
The original Sony WH-1000XM4 were our pick for the best over-ear headphones ever for a long time. This refreshed model of the classics offers top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's over £100 cheaper than the newer Sony XM6. We still rate these as the best headphones for most people, exactly because you can find them at a price like this when they are on sale.View Deal

iO Series 3: was £175 now £49.99
This entry-level electric toothbrush is a solid pickup while it's less than half price in Amazon's latest sale. 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 and a spare brush head included for free.View Deal

Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort + The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: was £509.98 now £449.99
Here's another incredible value-for-money Switch 2 bundle from this year's Black Friday sales. This new one is over at Very, where you can get a Nintendo Switch 2 console with Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and Ocarina of Time for £449.99. Essentially, you're getting the five-star remake of the Legend of Zelda classic for free in this bundle, which is a huge steal.View Deal

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel Core 5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB

This is easily the best-value laptop deal in the Currys Black Friday sale. Even though 16GB of RAM would've been nice to boost performance, it still boasts a solid set of modern specs that are ideal for everyday use and light work. Another solid bonus is the impressive battery life of up to 21 hours and the 120Hz 14-inch display that ensures a smooth and responsive experience. We loved it when we tested it, too, calling it "an affordable MacBook Neo rival" in our 4.5-star Acer Swift Air 14 review.View Deal

AF300UK Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer: was £199.99 now £129
The Ninja AF300UK remains an extremely popular and number one best-selling air fryer all these years after its release — and it's now back to the lowest price we've seen all year at Amazon. It's an excellent offer for a large dual-basket air fryer that can prepare multiple foods at once, while being faster and arguably healthier than other conventional cooking methods.View Deal

C6 65-inch OLED TV: was £2199 now £1699
LG reclaimed the top spot on our best TV guide with the C6, as it boasts fantastic overall picture quality and excellent all-around performance, making it the number one pick for most people's needs. Contrast is top-tier, with vivid colors and rich blacks, while motion is handled expertly. No matter if you're watching films, streaming TV shows, playing games, or watching sports, it's up to the job.View Deal

EE has just launched a first-ever price cut on the latest Apple AirPods 5 — you just need to log in to an EE account to see it. The newest model includes active noise cancellation, convenient wireless charging, as well as impressive Adaptive Audio and Live Translation features. Up to 20 hours of listening time and solid overall audio quality make these some of the top bud for iPhone users.View Deal

With a new model on the way, the last-generation Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition falls to a record-low price on Amazon. Upgrades in the 2026 version are fairly minimal, mostly improving the design and offering a replaceable battery, so I'd be tempted to go for the older version while it's at a great budget price. You still get a bright and easy-to-read seven-inch glare-free display, an auto-adjusting front light, space for thousands of books, handy wireless charging support, and a thin, waterproof design. And it's all for around £100 less than the new model.View Deal

This Garmin Forerunner 165 is an older wearable now, but it's a solid choice if you want to buy an affordable running watch. We scored it 4.5 stars in our original review, praising the gorgeous screen, incredible battery life, and useful training features. Of course, it lacks a few upgrades and premium features found on newer models, but as your first running watch, it's a smart buy.View Deal

Black Friday deals — Under £50

If you want to give your home heating a boost, then I can recommend this Dreo Electric Heater, which is down to around £40. We haven't tried this model in particular, but Dreo is one of the top brands for fan and air quality products – and this seems no different, judging by the thousands of positive reviews on Amazon for its compact size and efficient heating.View Deal

Swap a daily chocolate treat for a build or minifigure based on a galaxy far, far away with this discount on the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar. As well as iconic characters such as The Mandalorian and Grogu, this set comes with a variety of other well-known vehicles and mini-scenarios from across the universe, such as a TIE fighter, an X-Wing, and Grogu’s hoverpram.View Deal

The JLab Go Air Pop Plus are small and incredibly cheap but pack in a lot of key features and surprisingly strong sound for the price. There’s a long battery life of over eight hours, while the charging case adds an extra 24 hours. On-ear controls are reliable and they sound better than anything else in this price range. If you’re on a tight budget, these are a great buy.View Deal

Swap a daily chocolate treat for a superhero-themed build or minifigure with this discount on the Lego Marvel Advent Calendar. As well as the friendly neighbourhood webslinger, this set comes with a variety of other well-known characters from across the comics and films, as well as small building sets such as an X-Jet-themed sleighView Deal

The Philips OneBlade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that's suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. This jam-packed bundle was a little cheaper over Prime Day, but today's offer is still a solid one. This bundle includes the handle, as well as two spare blades, four combs, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.View Deal

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop is one of the best entry-level coffee machines around, with one-touch brewing so you can easily heat up in just 30 seconds. Use it with the included pods, and it does all the hard work for you, with the option of different brew sizes depending on how much you want to drink.View Deal

JBL's latest small speaker was released in summer 2026 and instantly became our new favorite cheap option. It comes in loads of colors, and is pretty much perfectly designed. The Go 5 is a small, tough, waterproof Bluetooth speaker. In our full JBL Go 5 review, we gave it five stars for simply being as good as Bluetooth speakers get when they're this small. View Deal

Salon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumiser: was £50 now £25
Always a hot item during holiday sales events, Currys has the best-selling Revlon One-Step hair dryer on sale for a record-low price of £25. Thanks to the unique oval brush design, the hairdryer delivers a salon-like blowout with brilliant shine and extra volume.View Deal

I bought this massage gun and found it to be reliable and excellent value for money in a market flooded with cheap and poor-quality options, so I definitely recommend it at this great low price. It's easy to use, quiet, has four attachments to target different muscles and has five speed settings to suit your preferred pressure. The detachable handle is a nice addition, too, so you can easily reach your back and shoulders.View Deal

45W 10.000mAh Portable Charger: was £21.98 now £18.63
It's always handy to have a portable charger to take with you when you're on the go, and this 10000mAh one from popular brand Inui is a smart buy in my eyes. For starters, it's small and super-slim, making it easy to carry around in a pocket or slip into your bag, while still offering enough juice to charge some of the latest phones and tablets to above 50%. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A, meaning you can charge multiple devices at once. There's even a handy detachable USB-C cable included for free.View Deal

Blender 600 Series: was £69.99 now £49.95
I'm a little tempted by the £20 price reduction on this well-scoring blender. While it can't chop ice, it creates velvety smoothies out of fresh and frozen fruits hassle-free. On top of this, the build quality and performance impressed us, and the fact that it's only a few quid more than it was last Black Friday makes this an even sweeter deal.View Deal

AF300UK Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer: was £199.99 now £129
The Ninja AF300UK remains an extremely popular and number one best-selling air fryer all these years after its release — and it's now back to the lowest price we've seen all year at Amazon. It's an excellent offer for a large dual-basket air fryer that can prepare multiple foods at once, while being faster and arguably healthier than other conventional cooking methods.View Deal

AF200UK Air Fryer: was £159.99 now £99.99
This is a fantastic low price for the smaller and less feature-rich version of the five-star Ninja Air Fryer. It may have a more compact size and fewer preset cooking functions, but you still get the same dual-drawer design with capacity for up to six portions of food. All the key options you need are included, too, such as air fry, max crisp, roast, and reheat. For a smaller space, your student flat, or if you just want to spend a little less on an air fryer from a top brand that can handle the basics, it's a bargain.View Deal

Crispi: was £149.99 now £99
Here's a great discount on Ninja's newest and most portable air fryer. This bundle includes the PowerPod lid, plus a resealable glass container to carry your dishes until you're ready to cook. According to our testing, it cooks exceptionally quickly, is easy to use and a breeze to clean, making this one of the best air fryer deals I've seen this year.View Deal

The cold weather is coming in, so slow cooker season is here — and this is a good price for a basic but large seven-litre capacity model from a top brand. Whether it's soups, stews or casseroles, there's enough room to make up to six portions, cooking at low or high, or using the warm function when needed. It's also dishwasher-safe and includes a handy lid holder to keep things tidy.View Deal
