Smartwatch deals usually dominate the sales season, particularly those made by Apple. Generally, you have to pay a hefty price for any Apple Watch model, however, this weekend you can snatch the Apple Watch Series 5 for 39% off.
Right now, the Apple Watch Series 5 (Stainless Steel) model is on sale for $459. That saves you a whole $290 off the original price. This particular 44mm model features built-in cellular and GPS as well as the Always-On Retina display.
And while the Apple Watch Series 7 may be the most recently released model, the Apple Watch Series 5 still remains a solid choice for those looking to get an Apple wearable at a cheaper price. In our review, we were impressed with its bright display, its sleek aesthetic and the useful ECG app, which allows you to measure your heart rhythm on the go.

This kit includes six light-strip pieces and one corner piece. It’ll allow you to create a personalized lighting experience to give your room some pop. The Govee can display 55 colors at the same time, with 16 million colors in total.
Using the smartphone app, you can create dynamic light effects and have it sync with music or game audio. And works with Alexa.
Act fast! This deal ends today.

Here’s an excellent deal from the folks at Anker. Right now, the Anker Power Bank Bundle, which includes the PowerCore III Elite and a 65W PD Wall Charger, is on sale for $51. That’s $48 off the retail price.
The PowerCore III Elite is a beast of a power bank. The 19,200 mAh capacity is big and powerful enough to charge a MacBook, an iPhone and an iPad simultaneously. It can charge an iPhone 11 four times over.
Both the PowerCore III Elite and the PD Wall Charger feature Anker’s PowerIQ 3.0 tech, which provide 60-65W of fast charging speeds.

Smartphone deals have been harder to come by this Black Friday. But for those looking for a good budget option, this TCL deal might be perfect.
The TCL 10L Android Smartphone is on sale for $152 at Amazon. That’s $97 off the regular retail price. The sale is available on both the Mariana Blue and Arctic White colorways.
We gave the TCL 10L three-out-of-five stars in our review, praising it for its excellent display, and dinging it for its mediocre camera and bloatware. It also lacks CDMA support, meaning it works best on T-Mobile, AT&T and certain other discount carriers.
But at $152, it’s hard to be too critical of this phone. Find me another phone with this quality of a feel and the below specs for under $200. It’s going to be a challenge.
The TCL 10L features a 6.53-inch 2340 x 1080 LCD display, a Snapdragon 665 processor, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot and a 4,000 mAh battery.
TCL 10L: was $249 now $152 @ Amazon
Virtual pets like Tamagotchi were all the rage in the mid-90s. Of the many digital pets to come from Japan, among the most popular were Digimon, based on the anime of the same name. Well, after a long hiatus, the Digimon virtual pets are back.
Right now, the Digimon Digivice Virtual Pet in the Glow in the Dark color is on sale at Amazon for $11. That’s an $8 savings. There are other colors available, but at higher prices.
Now, this Digivice is essentially a reprint of the 90’s original. There’s a newer version called Digimon X, which has some quality-of-life improvements. The Digimon X Virtual Pet in Green and Blue is on sale for $19 @ Amazon, which is $8 off the normal selling price.
Whether you pick up the original Digimon Digivice or the Digimon X, both will make fun and affordable stocking stuffers come Christmas.
Digimon Digivice Virtual Pet Glow in the Dark: was $19 now $11 @ Amazon
Surge protectors and power stripes aren’t the coolest gadgets to be on the hunt for this Black Friday weekend, but are necessary for any tech setup. Right now, the Anker PowerPort Strip 12 is on sale for $24. That’s $4 off the regular $28 price. Now, why are we recommending a deal that’s modest by all comparisons? That’s because good quality power strips are necessary. Not all power strips and surge protectors are made the same. There’s a reason the PowerPort Strip 12 ranks high on our best surge protectors list. It has a rating of 4,000 joules, an 18-month warranty and three fast-charging USB ports.
And remember, surge protectors do not last forever. Every surge degrades the components inside. If you’ve been using an old surge protector for years, it might be time for an upgrade. Don’t let the worst-case scenario happen: your media setup goes kaput because you were using an old surge protector during a thunderstorm.
And if you need more protection, the Anker PowerExtend 12 Strip is also on sale at Amazon for $21. That’s a savings of $8. While the PowerExtend doesn’t have USB ports, it does have dual-surge protection. Essentially, each half of the power ports are protected by components rated at 4,000 joules.
Anker PowerPort Strip 12: was $28 now $24 @ Amazon
Hi, my name is Imad. I’m the news editor here at Tom’s Guide. I’ll be taking over for the next three hours, adding deals that I feel deliver awesome tech for the price. And yes, I know Black Friday was yesterday, but deals are still going on right now. So, think of this as Black Friday weekend.
Elgato is known for making some of the best video capture and livestreaming equipment around. For any budding streamer, or someone who wants to take their Zoom calls to the next level, this Stream Deck deal is fantastic. Right now, Amazon has the Elgato Stream Deck on sale for $99. That’s $50 off the normal retail price.
Our sister-site, Laptop Mag, reviewed the Stream Deck and gave it four-out-of-five stars. The reviewer, Rami Tabari, praised it for its ease-of-use and great software. He dinged it for its high price, however. Well, with this deal, it pretty much makes the Stream Deck a perfect buy.
Elgato Stream Deck: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon
Want a TV that can disguise itself into a work of art? We’ve just spotted a deal that will help you save big on one of the best TVs available. Cyber Monday deals are here, and so are some great discounts on TV.
The 55-inch Samsung Frame TV is on sale for $999. That’s taking a whopping $500 off the original price, making it one of the best TV bargains you can find right now. This TV stands out from the crowd thanks to its 55-inch QLED display that offers 4K resolution, HDR, a 120Hz refresh rate, voice assistant support and all the big streaming apps built-in, all wrapped up in an innovative design.
It’s also worth noting that the deal in question applies to one of the freshest Frame models out there, having been released just earlier this year. In short, at $500 off, you’ll get one of the most stylish 55-inch QLED TVs available. So act fast, while the offer is still active.
Samsung 55″ Frame TV: was $1,499 now $999 @ Best Buy
Hi there! I’m Denise, news writer over at Tom’s Guide and I will be taking over our Black Friday live blog for the next hour or so. Even though Black Friday itself is technically over, Cyber Monday deals are already ramping up, discounting even the priciest of tech devices. And that, of course, applies to headphones, particularly premium models from the likes of the Apple AirPods Max. That’s right, Apple’s premium over-ear headphones just hit the lowest price ever.
For a limited time only, Apple AirPods Max wireless headphones are on sale for $429 at Amazon. That’s saving you a whole $120, making it one of the best headphone deals we’ve seen so far. In our review, we found that Apple’s wireless headphones offer excellent sound quality to last you through 20 hours on a single charge.
Overall, that’s a great bargain that saves you 22% and gets you a premium pair of noise-cancelling headphones. So if you’re serious, make sure to act fast as audio devices have a habit of selling out quite fast and the stock is limited.
Apple AirPods Max: was $549 now $429 @ Amazon
Over 50% off! If you’re looking to up the storage in your camera, phone or other gadget — and you’re looking for something durable — the Samsung Pro Endurance microSD card is literally ready for action. And right now it’s just $19 in Amazon’s Black Friday deals, which is 53% off.
The Pro Endurance card can go in anything, but it’s ideal for security cameras and dash cams. It’s water-proof, shock-proof, X-Ray proof and more. The card offers transfer speeds up to 100MB/sec. Full size SD card adapter included.
Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB microSD + adapter: was $39 now $19
If you’re a Switch owner, the Joy-Cons (minus any drifting joysticks) are one of the best parts of the experience with their traditional, motion and split controls. But sometimes you want a more normal controller, and that’s where the Switch Pro Controller comes in.
Available now at Walmart for $52, this controller looks a lot more like a traditional Xbox or PlayStation gamepad. However it still features motion controls and support for Amiibo figures. You don’t lose out on the Switch’s fun elements, but you’ll be able to control your game more comfortably. That’s a win-win!
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller: was $60, now $52 @ Walmart
On the topic of Samsung, I’ve recently been learning to love their tablets as well as their phones. Sure Apple’s iPads are everyone’s default picks for a reason, but you can get so much more hardware for your money with a Galaxy Tab, and Samsung’s heavily customized version of Android works just as smoothly as iOS.
That’s why you should check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, currently $150 off on Amazon. It comes with an S Pen stylus included, and features a 120Hz display, a long-lasting battery and a Snapdragon 888 chipset, making it a capable companion for work or play.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7: was $659 now $499 @ Amazon
I spend most of my time at TG writing about phones, so when I saw how big a discount you can get on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, I knew I had to share it.
There are several offers available right now depending on what exactly you want. Amazon offers the unlocked Z Flip 3 for $150 less, while Best Buy gives you a Z Flip 3 for $400 off, provided you activate today. Similarly, Walmart offers a Verizon or AT&T Z Flip 3 with a $500 gift card.
The highest potential discount comes from Samsung itself. With an eligible trade-in, you can save up to $700! Plus buying direct from Samsung lets you turn the foldable into a personally customized Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition for another $150.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: was $999 now $299 with trade-in @ Samsung
Good morning! This is TG staff writer Richard Priday taking the helm while Marc takes a well-earned break.
As a U.K.-based writer, I’ve been looking at deals both over here and in the U.S. And I have to say, the Americans are getting some stunning deals I wish I could get my hands on!
One such deal is Amazon’s $150 discount on the 2020 MacBook Air M1. Apple’s new in-house chip design does wonders for the laptop’s power consumption and performance, while still contained in a lightweight shell that sounds like it would make the ideal laptop for my work. Unfortunately, I can’t get this deal without some expensive postage fees, but perhaps you can instead!
MacBook Air M1 (512GB): was $1,249 now $1,099 @ Amazon
The other great camera deal I’ve seen is on the Fujifilm X-T4 mirrorless camera, which I’ve used and love (though I own the earlier X-T3).
It doesn’t often get a discount, but B&H Photo currently has it on offer for $1,499, which is $200 off the usual price and a photographic bargain if ever I saw one. Amazon also has it for the same price.
Fujifilm X-T4: was $1,699 now $1,499 @ B&H Photo
Can we talk about cameras for a bit? I’m a bit of a photography obsessive, so I’ve been keeping a close eye on what the best camera deals are this Black Friday, and there are loads of them to pick from.
For starters, how about the Sony ZV-1 for $648 at B&H Photo? This model is no.1 in our list of the best vlogging cameras, thanks to a wealth of features that make it great for YouTubers and content creators. As we said in our review, we’re big fans of its clever sideways-opening flip-out screen and Product Showcase mode.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for it, so snap it up now (pardon the pun) before it sells out.
Sony ZV-1: was $798 now $648 @ B&H Photo
I’m an Android man through and through (in phone terms; I’m not a robot) and if I didn’t already have a Google Pixel 6 then the other thing I’d have bought this Black Friday would have been the OnePlus 9 Pro.
This awesome 6.7-inch handset is one of the best phones in the world, and is currently reduced to $799 at Amazon. That’s a saving of $269, which is one of the best Black Friday deals we’ve seen on any phone.
My last two mobiles before the Pixel 6 were the OnePlus 7 Pro and 8T, and I very much enjoyed using both. This deal on the 9 Pro is well worth a look.
OnePlus 9 Pro: was $1069 now $799 @ Amazon
The other item I bought this Black Friday was an air fryer — or rather, an Instant Pot that also air fries.
I’d been looking for an air fryer for a while, but with prices plummeting this seemed like the perfect time to buy one. It still took me ages to decide, of course, but in the end the versatility of this Instant Pot won me over. It air fries, sure, but it’s also a slow cooker, and it can sauté, and sous-vide, and dehydrate, and roast, and bake. In fact it has 11 functions!
Right now it’s reduced from $199 to $119 at Amazon, saving you 40% and making this a great Black Friday deal.
Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fry, 8 quart: was $199 now $119 @ Amazon
Morning all, editor in chief (U.K.) Marc McLaren here to take over this live blog for the next couple of hours. I have to limit my spending on Black Friday, because doing this job exposes you to so many great deals that it’d be easy to end up broke. But I have bought a couple of things — including a new pair of headphones.
So, which did I buy? Well, after much deliberation I went for the Sony WH-1000XM3. Yes, I know the more recent XM4 is slightly better and has had big price cuts this Black Friday, but the XM3 is still cheaper. For instance, the best deal on the Sony WH-1000XM4 has them at $249 at Walmart, whereas you can get the 1000XM3 at Walmart for $204. You’ll have to judge for yourself if the differences between them is worth the $45 saving, but for me it made sense to buy the cheaper model.
Sony WH-1000XM3: now $204 @ Walmart
A new controller is usually a great gift for the Xbox owner in your life, even if that’s you — especially if that’s you. Right now Walmart still has a pretty great Black Friday deal on new wireless Xbox controllers, in either Pulse Red or Shock Blue.
These controllers are compatible with both the older Xbox One consoles and the new Xbox Series X and S consoles. Plus, they work with laptops, desktops, and Android devices too, making them a bit more handy to have. But since most Xbox consoles only ship with one controller, you always need at least one more if you want to play games together with friends over the holidays.
Xbox Wireless Controller – Pulse Red: was $64 now $49 @ Walmart
Xbox Wireless Controller – Shock Blue: was $64 now $49 @ Walmart
Pushing up against the limits of a home Wi-Fi network is a great recipe for frustration, especially over the holidays when you’re likely to find yourself visiting friends and family with weak, spotty Wi-Fi.
I’ve definitely come home to find my parents flummoxed by the poor range of their Wi-Fi network, which is why I’ve spent Black Friday looking for great deals on Wi-Fi extenders. Walmart has a solid discount on Netgear’s EX6110 W-Fi Wall Plug Range Extender and Signal Booster that has me seriously tempted, as it knocks nearly $30 off the price of this $87 extender, which claims to work with any router and deliver dual-band Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 1,200 Mbps. If you, like me, need a quick solution to poor Wi-Fi coverage this holiday season, check out this deal.
NETGEAR Wi-Fi Wall Plug Range Extender & Signal Booster: was $87 now $58
If you or someone you love is lucky enough to own a PlayStation 5, Amazon has a great sale on one of the best games yet released for PS5.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and it puts Sony’s latest console to excellent use. In our review we praised Rift Apart for its gorgeous graphics and remarkably fun gameplay, as well as its compelling storyline. Now Amazon is selling it for nearly 30% off, which is a solid deal on this $69 game.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: was $69, now $49 @ Amazon
If you’ve got some travel planned in the near future, you might consider picking up a pair of Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds. In our review we praised these earbuds for stellar audio quality and great active noise cancellation, though we were a bit disappointed by the 5-6 hours of use you get before needing to recharge.
Luckily, they come with a charging case that can store up to an additional 18 hours’ worth of use, and the quick-charge feature can get you up to 2 hours of listening time after 15 minutes of charging. Walmart has these Bose buds on Black Friday sale now for $80 off, and you can get them in your choice of black or soapstone.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: were $279, now $199
Need a good gift idea for the social media mavens on your shopping list? consider getting them a great ring light. These simple lighting rigs can do a lot to improve the quality of their next Instagram, Snapchat, or Tiktok post, and right now Walmart has one on sale for nearly half off.
This Bower 12″ RGB Ring Light Studio Kit includes a built-in phone mount and a remote control, so you can easily configure the light at a distance. There are lots of options to play with too, as it offers 9 colors, 8 special effects modes, and 12 levels of brightness. Plus, its stand is adjustable and maxes out at 62 inches tall.
Bower 12″ RGB Ring Light Studio Kit: was $39 now $20 @ Walmart
Looking for an affordable Windows laptop? Walmart has a good deal on a new HP Envy x360 15 right now that knocks $180 off the usual $929 price tag on this Windows 10 2-in-1 packing an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) touchscreen.
That 15.6-inch touchscreen can rotate all the way around to lay flat on the back of the laptop, allowing it to double as a bulky tablet. Inside the laptop are three speakers tuned by Bang & Olufson, and the keyboard sports a fingerprint reader and camera shutter/mic mute keys for improved privacy and security. All in all it’s a great convertible for tackling day-to-day tasks, office work and some light gaming.
HP Envy x360 15: was $929 now $749 @ Walmart
Webcams are more vital than ever now that so many of us are still working or remote learning primarily through video calls. Unfortunately, most laptops still have uninspired 720p webcams that deliver grainy, washed-out images and video. Luckily Amazon is selling a great 1080p Logitech webcam for 25% off right now, so if you need a new camera for your laptop or desktop this is a great opportunity to buy.
This Logitech C922x 1080p webcam offers a full HD glass lens along with autofocus, and there’s 2 built-in mics for stereo recording, which should make you sound pretty good on your next call. Plus it ships with a free 6-month premium XSplit license, which is nice to have if you’re planning to stream on platforms like Twitch or YouTube.
Logitech C922x 1080p webcam: was $99 now $74 @ Amazon
If you or someone you love owns an Xbox and enjoys Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies, consider picking up a copy of the Guardians of the Galaxy game while Walmart has it for over 50% off.
This game just came out last month, and in our review we lauded it for its well-written characters, beautiful alien worlds, and hard-hitting soundtrack. Right now Walmart is selling a physical copy in a steelbook case for $25, which is $34 off the usual $59 asking price. Note that this version should work with either the older Xbox One consoles or the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy for Xbox One/Xbox Series X: was $59 now $25
If you’re searching for a gaming PC with one of the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards, you could do worse than Lenovo’s Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop. Right now Walmart is knocking $150 off the price of one of these 16-inch gaming laptops packing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU, which is more than enough power to run the latest games at great framerates.
In addition to that 3070, this model comes with a speedy AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a 16-inch QHD (2560 x 1600 pixels) display capable of achieving refresh rates up to 165Hz. In our review we celebrated this bulky laptop for its excellent gaming performance, beautiful display and solid build quality. While $150 isn’t a huge discount off the usual $1,999 asking price, demand for gaming PCs is so high right now that even this modest discount is a great opportunity if you want a new gaming laptop.
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16″ with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070: was $1,999 now $1,749 @ Walmart
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening came out for Nintendo’s Game Boy in 1993. It was the first Zelda game I ever played, and 10-year-old me thought it was great. Fast forward to 2019 and Nintendo released a gorgeous 3D remake for the Nintendo Switch that’s vibrant, authentic, and nearly half off today at Walmart.
If you’re looking for a great gift for the Nintendo Switch owner in your life, this is a good opportunity to get one of the console’s best games at a great price. In our review we gave this Link’s Awakening remake high marks for recapturing all the magic of the original with a beautiful new aesthetic, so if you never played the original this is a great opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.
Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch: was $59 now $39 @ Walmart
The big debate when shopping for a phone during Black Friday is where to get it from — a retailer or from the phone maker itself? Usually, that varies on a case-by-case basis, but the Galaxy Z Flip 3 can offer us some insight on the issue.
Right now, the retailer with the best deal is Walmart. That’s not because the foldable phone has been discounted — you’ll pay the same $999 price as before when you buy the AT&T-tied version of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 from Walmart. But Walmart is throwing in a $500 gift card with your purchase. What’s more, if you have a trade-in, you can save up to $1,000 in bill credits.
Samsung will take a trade-in phone as well, and you can save up to $700 by trading in a device. Even with no trade-in, you can save $100 off the $999 price of the Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Samsung will throw in a pair Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds.
In this case, you’ll need a phone to trade-in with either Samsung or Walmart. Samsung’s the better choice if you want an unlocked Galaxy Z Flip 3. But if you’re fine with AT&T as your wireless provider, Walmart’s deal gives you more opportunities to save.
Galaxy Z Flip 3: $500 gift care @ Walmart or $700 in trade-in rebates + Galaxy Buds 2 @ Samsung
One of the benefits to Amazon owning just about anything it desires is that it can then take those products and bundle them together for your convenience. And on Black Friday, it can knock down the prices on those bundles, too.
For my money, the best mash-up is this $72 combination of the Echo Dot Gen 4 and the Ring Video Doorbell Wired. The products are appealing on their own, of course. The Echo Dot smart speaker has a cool spherical shape, while the Ring Video Doorbell is one of the best video doorbells we’ve tested. But the true benefit here is the savings — the current price is $38 less than what Amazon regularly charges.
Echo Dot Gen 4 + Ring Video Doorbell Wired: was $102 now $72
For all the talk of AirPods Pro this holiday weekend, did you know they’re not actually the top-ranked pick among the best wireless earbuds? That honor goes to the Jabra Elite Active 75T, which get a discount of their own for Black Friday.
Right now at Amazon, you can get these top-ranked wireless earbuds for $149. That’s a savings of $60 off the usual price for the Jabra Elite Active 75T. It also happens to be. It’s also less than what you’d pay for the AirPods Pro, even at their discounted price.
We like the Jabra Elite Active 75T for their dynamic sound and long battery life. You’ll like those things too, but you’ll probably like that price break just as much.
Jabra Elite Active 75T: was $209 now $149
I’ve long argued that the best gadget my wife and I ever bought for our daughter was one of Amazon’s Fire tablets for kids. That device can keep your kids entertained on long trips and get everyone in the habit of managing screen time, at an age where good habits can form. If your kids happen to be reaching the tween stage, the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet might be the one to choose.
Price is no longer a consideration if you buy the tablet during Black Friday sales. Normally $199, you can save $80 on the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro right now by picking it up for $119.
You get a decent 10-inch tablet with a bumper case to guard against those inevitable drops. More importantly, there’s a long battery so the only thing cutting down on screen time will be the limits you impose. And all the content available to the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is age-appropriate, so you needn’t worry about your tween downloading an app you’d rather they didn’t yet.
Fire HD 10 Kids Pro: was $199 no $119
Hey, everyone — Philip Michaels here, and I’ll be your host on our main hub for the next (checks watch) three hours. (Gulps.)
Maybe I’m the weird one here, but I don’t necessarily look for a price break when I’m hunting for good deals. Sometimes, a gift certificate is better. Take the Apple Shopping Event, which launched at Apple’s online store earlier today. You won’t see any price breaks on new Apple gear, but you will get gift cards when buying select items. And in some cases, those gift cards are better than whatever price discounts you would see.
Focusing on the iPad Pro for a moment, both the 11- and 12.9-inch models will get you a $100 gift card from Apple when you buy either tablet between now and Monday (Nov. 29). That figures to be a lot more generous than the price cuts you’re going to see at other stores — assuming that the tablets are even in stock there.
All I’m saying is don’t overlook Apple just because it’s not playing the low-pricing game.
Maybe I’m weird but the Black Friday deals I get most excited by are not the big TVs and electronics, but the small stuff you need around the house. I already have an auto soap dispenser in my kitchen, but I could definitely use one in the bathroom, too.
Like this Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser, now $37 at Amazon. That’s 31% off, which is a decent discount. Not only does this gadget dispense soap, it also has an automatic 20-second timer so you lather according to CDC guidelines. You can also pair it an Echo, which can play music as you wash your hands. And this dispenser lasts for three months on a single charge!
Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser: was $54 now $37 @ Amazon
Last year on Black Friday, I bought a robot vacuum and I can honestly say it has changed my life. I love that I can set up a schedule and just let it work its cleaning magic while I don’t lift a finger.
You, too, can be lazy and still have a clean home by grabbing this Shark ION robot vacuum for just $149 at Amazon, which is an $80 discount off regular price. Set up a cleaning schedule on the SharkClean app, plus you can also use Alexa voice commands to control the machine. It has a 120-minute runtime and smart sensors that will skirt furniture, ledges and stairs.
Shark AV752 ION Robot Vacuum: was $229 now $149 @ Amazon
Hey, senior writer Kelly here to take over this live blog for the next hour or so. I’m very much into camping, so these Black Friday Coleman deals caught my eye.
Select Coleman gear is up to 30$ off in this fantastic Amazon sale. That includes tents, chairs, coolers, sleeping bags, air mattresses, lanterns, cookware and backpacks. My own tent is a bit worse for wear, so I’m thinking about upgrading to this Coleman Steel Creek Fast Pitch Dome Tent for $132. Another tempting item is the Camping Chair with Built-in 4 Can Cooler for just $25.
Coleman sale: Up to 30% off at Amazon
If you missed the earlier restock, don’t sweat it too much. A Walmart PS5 restock will occur on Cyber Monday at 12 p.m. ET. There’s a catch though. The restock is exclusive for Walmart Plus members only. (Also, you’ll need to be a paying member and not on the free trial. You can sign up at Walmart via this link). In the meantime, Walmart just quietly restocked the Xbox Series S. Get it before it’s gone!
Run, run, run to GameStop. They have an Xbox Series X Bundle available now for $688. Yes, it’s a bundle and it’s pricier than the standalone console, but you’re getting this bundle at face value. Also, bundles tend to last longer than standalone consoles which sell out in seconds.
Xbox Series X Bundle: $688 @ GameStop
I love running outdoors, but I hate running in the cold. So last fall I purchased a Gore windbreaker and although it was pricey, it was well worth it. I run by the waterfront, so the jacket has been great in protecting me from those cold gusts of wind off New York’s Hudson River. If you’re a runner, cycler, or just looking for really great outdoor gear — I really recommend Gore. And their Black Friday sale is now live taking 30% to 50% off select gear. (It’s easily their biggest sale of the year).
If you’re wondering — I got the Infinium Jacket (now 30% off). Also, it appears Amazon is price matching some Gore deals, but not all of them.
Gore men’s & women’s apparel: up to 50% off @ Gore
G’afternoon, everyone! Deals editor Louis here guiding you through today’s best Black Friday deals. The sun is starting to set here in NYC, but Black Friday is far from over. New sales are still popping up by the minute (and many of them are selling out just as fast).
So first deal I’m gonna highlight is this adjustable dumbbell set. I’ve been eyeing it since yesterday and it’s dropped another $26. I like this deal because you get a full set (not just one adjustable dumbbell) and the dial system makes it easy to adjust from 5 lbs. up to 25 lbs. — which is perfect for light workouts and targeting specific muscle groups.
Also, Walmart, if you’re listening. You misspelled “adjustable” on your product page. (Though heaven knows I’ve probably made a ton of typos this past week).

Fry ’em up! With this 5-piece pre-seasoned cast-iron cooking set from Lodge, you’ll soon be whipping up bacon, flapjacks, omelettes and pork chops like the cook in an Old West mining camp.
This set comes with two skillets at 8 inches and 10.25 inches, a 10.5-inch griddle pan, a 5-quart Dutch oven and a cast-iron lid that fits the Dutch oven and the larger skillet.

Vudu? Hulu? Nope, Roku is our favorite made-up four-letter tech name, because it delivers the full world of streaming content to any ol’ “dumb” TV.
For just 35 clams, plus the third-party subscription fees of your choice, you’ll be able with a Roku set-top box to access the aforementioned two services, plus HBO Max, Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and dozens of other services, some of which neither you nor I have ever heard of.
The Roku Ultra LT puts out a 4K signal and HDR color to TVs that can handle those, but it’ll work just fine with any set that has an HDMI port. An HDMI cable is not included, but along with the Roku box and its power adapter you will get Roku’s voice-activated remote control, a pair of earbuds you can plug into the remote so that you don’t wake up the neighbors, and AA batteries to get started with.
Roku Ultra LT streaming box: was $69 now $35 at Walmart
Not everything has to be deep. Take, for example, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Instead of being 40mm thick like most standard mechanical gaming keyboards, this full 10-key model wades in the shallow end at just 31mm. Its Cherry MX Low Profile SPEED key switches have a travel distance of a mere single millimeter, barely enough to spot with the naked eye.
Yet you get full Corsair RGB functionality, with per-key lighting and n-key rollover. As with most Corsair gaming keyboards, it can can control your PC’s media playback and volume with just a flick of the function keys, not to mention its own lighting options.
Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: was $99 now $79 @ Walmart
This 75-inch 4K TV deal is out of this world. Right now, the Hisense 75″ 4K ULED U6G Quantum Dot QLED TV is on sale for $799. That’s $450 off the standard retail price. Per our research, this is the lowest price this TV has ever been. It’s also not common to find a 75″ set for a price this low.
The U6G line is part of Hisense’s entry-level models. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad TV. While we have yet to review this unit, the folks over at RTINGS gave it strong marks for its excellent contrast and great gaming response time. It does lack HDMI 2.1 support, meaning it’s not ideal for PS5 and Xbox Series X gameplay at 120Hz.
Hisense 75″ 4K ULED U6G Quantum Dot QLED TV: was $1,249 now $799 @ Amazon
Zojirushi is like the Rolls-Royce of rice cookers. And right now, the 3-cup Zojirushi NS-LGC05XB is on sale for $104, which is $45 off its regular retail price.
The Zojirushi NS-LGC05XB is beloved by chefs and home cooks alike. Not only does it produce wonderfully fluffy rice, it does so with ease. It has a perfect five-star rating on Amazon out of 3,334 reviews.
Now, this is technically not the lowest price for this rice cooker. It did reach a sub-$90 price at the end of 2019, but hasn’t touched that amount since. It was also very brief, so it could have been a pricing error. So, while it’s possible for it to go lower, we don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. Even at $104, this is an excellent buy.
Zojirushi NS-LGC05XB: was $149 now $104 @ Amazon
Okay, this is a huge deal. Right now, Kohl’s has a Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 Smart XL Indoor Grill (FG551) for $161.49 at Kohl’s. That’s a $138 savings over the regular $299 retail price. Not only that, it includes $45 in Kohl’s cash that can be used in-store. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this grill.

OLED TV deal: Right now Amazon has the LG A1 48-inch 4K OLED TV on sale for $896, taking 25% of the set’s normal price. But wait — it gets better! Make sure to use coupon “HBQ5KMZKGRRP” at final checkout and you’ll get a free $100 Amazon credit.

During the holidays you’ll have time to catch up on this year’s best TV shows and movies. And what better way to access your favorite streaming services than with a brand-new Fire TV Stick? The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for the very first time since being released last month.
The streamer is Amazon’s best Fire TV Stick to date. It sports a new quad-core CPU and a 750MHz GPU, which essentially means quick navigation. Check out our review for everything to expect when you make the purchase.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: was $54 now $34 @ Amazon
Ultimate AirPods Black Friday deal: Right now Walmart has the AirPods Pro for the lowest price yet, $159. This is one of our favorite Black Friday deals, and not just because you’re getting the 2021 AirPods Pro with a MagSafe compatible case. Regardless, these are some of the best wireless earbuds on the market.
We’ve seen this sale go in and out of stock throughout Black Friday deals. As of this writing the AirPods Pro are available to purchase for $159 at Walmart, though Amazon has the earbuds for $10 more if Walmart happens to run out.
AirPods Pro: was $249 now $159 @ Walmart
The Oculus Quest 2 has been the talk about the Tom’s Guide office over the past month. With the release of Resident Evil 4 VR (which is currently exclusive to the platform), there’s really never been a better time to jump into the virtual world especially with Best Buy offering a free $50 gift card when you purchase an Oculus Quest 2.
In our original review of the headset, we called it “the best entry point into virtual reality yet” and thanks to its (relatively) cheap price, strong library of games and overall ease of use that very much remains true to this day. Such an excellent VR headset is worth the $299 cost alone, getting $50 back just sweetens the pot.
Oculus Quest 2: free $50 gift card @ Best Buy
Lowest price! As expected, Apple Watch Black Friday deals dropped the price of the newly-released Apple Watch 7. For a limited time, the GPS-only Series 7 is $20 off and in stock at Amazon — but you’ll want to hurry, since this smartwatch’s stock has been limited since it debuted last month.
Compared to last year’s Apple Watch 6, the Apple Watch 7 has a larger display, brighter always-on mode and faster charging. Check out our full review why we named the Apple Watch 7 the best smartwatch of the year.
Apple Watch 7: was $399 now $379 @ Amazon
Kindles are an extremely common sight on commuter trains for good reason. While they can’t quite replicate the feel of reading a proper paperback, e-readers are far more convenient. Plus, you can read whatever you want without judgment from fellow passengers.
If you’ve not joined the e-reader revolution (where have you been for the last decade and a half?) then your extreme patience has paid off, Amazon has the basic Kindle e-reader on sale for $49 in its Black Friday deals.
While this is the most basic Kindle it does still sport a built-in backlight and 8GB of space to fit more books than you could possibly read. If you want a more premium model the Kindle Oasis is down to $174. dropping from a pricy $249.
Amazon Kindle: was $89 now $49 @ Amazon
Not yet renewed your PlayStation Plus subscription? Then now’s the perfect time to do so — because Black Friday is when you always see the lowest prices.
For example, you can buy 12 months right now for just $39 at Walmart. Outside of Black Friday, I generally don’t see deals on PS Plus memberships. You might see 3-month discounts here and there on major holidays, but right now you can get a full year!
PlayStation Plus 1-Year: was $59 now $39 @ Walmart
Air fryers have become seriously popular over the last 18 months. Once a somewhat niche appliance, air fryers have rapidly become a staple machine in any full-featured kitchen. That’s why we love this 18% off deal on the COSORI Air Fryer Max XL at Amazon.
Granted, the COSORI Air Fryer Max XL does lack smart capabilities, but it comes with a roomy 5.8qt capacity, 11 cooking separate functions and 100 recipes to get you started. We’ve tested the Smart version of the design and it was excellent at doing all the fundamentals. We also loved how cool the exterior kept during use.
COSORI Air Fryer Max XL: was $119 now $97 @ Amazon
We rate the Sony WH1000XM4 pretty highly. In fact, here at Tom’s Guide, we’re such big fans of these cans that we’ve ranked them as the best wireless headphones you can buy. That’s no small achievement considering the stiff competition from the likes of Bose and Apple.
We have often recommended these wireless headphones at full price, so the chance to pick up the Sony WH1000XM4 with a $100 discount is an offer you shouldn’t refuse. For $249 you’re getting the best headphones around with excellent active noise cancellation, a lengthy 30 hours of battery life and seriously impressive sound quality. All that for $100 less is music to our ears.
Sony WH1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: was $349 now $249 @ Walmart
The Google Nest Mini is the best Google Home speaker you can get for less than $50 — and right now it’s also the best Google Home speaker you can get for less than $25. The versatile smart speaker can stream music, read news headlines, double as an alarm/timer, and act as a voice remote for your other smart devices.
I use my smart speaker multiple times per day and if you’re invested in the Google ecosystem, this speaker is a must-have.

Black Friday TV deals are always among the most popular discounts of the annual sales event and 2021 hasn’t been any different. We’ve seen some seriously deep discounts on a range of televisions, and this deal on a 48-inch LG A1 OLED TV definitely ranks as one of our favorites.
Right now at Amazon, the 48-inch LG A1 OLED TV is just $896, dropping down from $1,199. One of the best OLED TVs on the market, it packs LG’s powerful Alpha Gen 4 processor, a gorgeous 4K OLED display and support for AI voice assistant.
If a $300 discount on television of this quality wasn’t enough, use discount code “HBQ5KMZKGRRP” at checkout and you’ll get a $100 Amazon gift card added to your account — that’s enough to nab a TCL Alto 6+ soundbar to sit under your new LG TV.

Apple’s new AirPods 3 only launched in October, so you might think it wouldn’t get any discounts so soon. But you’d be wrong.
Originally on sale for $179, it’s dropped steadily in price over the past week or so and is now available for just $149 at Amazon. Note: Don’t be confused by the $169 price displayed on the landing page, as you also get a further $20 reduction at checkout.
This is a great Black Friday deal on a pair of wireless earbuds that we recently gave a 4.5-star review to, praising it for its well-balanced sound and range of useful features.
Apple AirPods 3: was $179 now $149 @ Amazon
When it comes to streaming services Netflix, Disney Plus and Prime Video often dominate the conversation, but Hulu shouldn’t be overlooked. The streamer offers a ton of original series and movies including popular original hits like The Handmaid’s Tale, Only Murders in the Building, Dopesick and Nine Perfect Strangers.
Normally the ad-supported tier will set you back $6.99 a month, but for Black Friday you can get Hulu for just $0.99. This deal isn’t just good for a single month either, you can claim this reduced price for up to 12 months saving you 85% off an annual subscription. Even better you don’t even have to pay upfront and can cancel anytime. The only difficult decision about this deal is what to watch first (we suggest The Handmaid’s Tale).
