Iusedto associateBlack Fridaywith waiting in line at Best Buy for deals on big-ticket items. But nowadays the sales begin much earlier and last much longer, on virtually every product you can think of.

Below are my current favorite Black Friday deals on vacuums, headphones, video games, and other tech products, many of which we’ve reviewed before. I’ve organized everything by brand or retailer, and I’ll keep updating this article throughout Black Friday, so bookmark this page and check back often.

Update on November 28, 2024:Updated prices and checked stock for all products.
Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
These three deals are especially noteworthy: Dyson’s Digital Slim is one ofour favorite vacuums, and we rarely see it for over half off. (It’s currently on sale for $240 on Amazon, but shipping might take up to a month or more. It’s on sale for $250 at Target, which is still an amazing deal.) TheApple AirPods 2 Proare currently at an all-time low price. And the Fitibit Charge 6 is mytop-pick fitness tracker, and it’s almost 40 percent off.
Amazon Early Black Friday Deals
Most of the early Black Friday deals I’ve found are available on Amazon, but highlights include the newest version of the Kindle Paperwhitee-reader, the Oura ring (a discreet fitness tracker),and theStrategist-favoriteLoftie alarm clock.
Apple Early Black Friday Deals
The best part about shopping for deals on Apple products is finding discounts on the latest versions of each product. I’ve found a few so far, including the latest MacBook Air, the AirPods Pro 2 at an all-time low price, and the Apple Watch Series 10.
Bookman Early Black Friday Deals
Bookman might not be a household name just yet, but it should be. The Stockholm-based company primarily makes bike lights and wearable lights (its bike lights make greatgifts for cyclists), and its offering discounts of up to 45 percent off as part of itsBlack Friday sale.
Dyson Early Black Friday Deals
Dyson’s stick vacuums and hair tools always have a high price tag, but its quality is hard to beat. In our guide tocordless vacuums, we included multiple Dyson models that are now on sale. The brand’sAirwraphas long been the gold standard for hair straighteners — and right now it’s $100 off.
Fitbit Early Black Friday Deals
When anyone asks me whichfitness trackerthey should get (if they don’t already have an Apple Watch), I recommend a Fitbit: It tracks the most basic health and fitness metrics, there aren’t any overly complicated bells and whistles, and it’s easy to set up. Start with the Inspire 3, and if you want more features, work up to the Charge 6 and Versa 4, respectively. All three models are now at least 30 percent off for Black Friday.
Nintendo Early Black Friday Deals
Nintendo has some seriously good Black Friday deals on these three popular games. If your niece or nephew doesn’t have them yet, now isthetime to gift one (or all three) — just make sure they have a Nintendo Switch.
Sonos Early Black Friday Deals
I found some great deals on Sonos audio gear, including the Soundbar (one of our favoritehome-theater components), the Era 100, and the Ace — the brand’s first pair of headphones.
Walmart Early Black Friday Deals
We found a handful of great tech deals at Walmart — including Beats headphones for $89, a 4K Roku TV for less than $200, and some steep discounts onApple products, like the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), iPad (10th Gen), and Pencil (1st Gen). We also found great deals onvideo games and consoles— now’s a great time to get a PlayStation.
