The Best Black Friday Deals You Can Still Get

KitchenAid’s artisan series is a bump up from its classic line. The 10-speed KitchenAid Artisan Series KSM195PSBK comes with the usual attachments, plus a pastry beater, a bowl shield to prevent splatters, and an extra 3-quart bowl for smaller jobs. The standard-issue stainless bowl is 5 quarts. In our tests this mixer aces our tasks for whipping cream and mixing cookie dough and is almost as good at kneading bread dough. It works quietly, and our testers find it very convenient to change the beaters and clean. It weighs 21 pounds and has a tilt-head, so you’ll need some clearance between the counter and the cabinets. Bonus: You have your choice of 10 colors.

The Nespresso Creatista Plus, which is just $15 more than it was for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is a high-end single-serve coffee maker aimed at true coffee enthusiasts. It combines Nespresso’s popular and convenient pods with features like a built-in frother for milk-based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. The silver finish just looks plain cool, too.

The NuWave Brio is now at the lowest price it’s ever been, and we don’t expect it to go any lower. It has especially easy-to-use controls that make it easy to adjust temperature and time during the cooking process. In our tests, we also found it to be pretty quiet when operating. Its measured capacity is 2.9 quarts, so it’s not the right air fryer if you like cooking for a crowd. But it’s perfect for small batches of fries or vegetables, or cooking dinner for one to two people. It comes with an impressive 100 programmed cook settings for specific foods and 50 memory slots where you can save your temperature and cooking time preferences. It’s dishwasher-safe and comes with a one-year warranty.

The Circulon Scratch Defense A1 Series Nonstick 9-piece set receives top marks in CR’s tests for cooking evenness, holding sauces at a simmer, and nonstick food release. Plus, It had very good scores for speed of heating and durability of its traditional nonstick coating. While it’s dishwasher safe and induction cooktop-compatible, it’s only oven-safe to 400 degrees. The price for this set can vary throughout the year, and it’s now $20 more than its Black Friday and Cyber Monday price, and still a great discount.

Prices on the G8BCAASSPSS Personal Blender are constantly fluctuating, but this Cyber Monday deal is the lowest we’ve seen, so now may be the time to snap one up. If you’re making a smoothie or soup for one, you can rely on this model, which earned top scores in our tests for icy drinks and purees. Plus, it comes with a 20-ounce to-go cup, and its parts are dishwasher safe.

At just about 5 pounds, this six-quart Dutch oven from Our Place is lightweight—but only in the best sense of the word. When it comes to performance, no other Dutch oven in our ratings matches it. Plus, it only goes on sale during major holidays, so if you’ve wanted one, this is the time to buy. It earns excellent scores from ease of cleaning to bread baking, sauce simmering, cooking evenness and speed of heating. Made of aluminum with a ceramic coating, it’s also induction-compatible, and oven-safe to 425° F.

The iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ Vacuum Cleaner is ideal if your home has mostly bare floors. It earned top-notch scores in our bare floors cleaning tests, but did only so-so on carpets. Our evaluators found it to be very convenient to use, and the vacuum automatically empties its bin into the docking station, sparing you that messy job.

The Roborock Dyad Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner Mop’s strength is its ability to clean up wet messes, such as cereal and milk. It’s also great at suctioning up dry debris and removing dried stains. Our evaluators found it easy to clean after usage, and it comes with convenient features such as an auto-drying function for its brushrolls.

The cordless Shark Stratos IZ862H has Shark’s signature DuoClean brush roll and a flexible wand for reaching under furniture. It earns top scores for cleaning bare floors and removing debris along edges. But if you have carpet, it’s only so-so. A dirt sensor increases suction when the vacuum senses debris and decreases when the floor is clean. It has a self-cleaning mechanism that prevents hair from getting tangled around the brush roll. The vacuuming mode and battery life are displayed on the console. Get it now for as much as 50 percent off.

If you want earbuds, but don’t like the feel of plugging up your ears, the Bose Ultra Opens are a unique option. They hook on the outside your ear, just above the lobe, kind of like a cuff-style earring. They sound surprisingly good, too, once you get the placement just right. And it’s totally easy to hear things around you with a clarity that the "transparency" mode of most earbuds can’t match. But there’s no noise canceling so they’re not great for trains or planes. They’re now $20 more than their Black Friday price, but still significantly discounted.

This wireless Bluetooth iPod/iPad/cellphone-centric model from JBL is a solid pick, even if it is $5 more than it was for the shopping weekend. The JBL Tune 660NC delivers very good sound quality and excellent active noise reduction. These headphones have a closed design, they will provide some muffling of external noises and also reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the headphones.

The Roku 65R4A5R, also known as the 65R4AX, is now $30 more than its Black Friday price, but still more than reasonable if you’re looking for a larger, lower-cost set. This is a basic 4K TV in Roku’s entry-level Select series for 2024. We tested this set, and it does well for overall picture quality, but not so hot for HDR. Its sound is also unimpressive, so you might consider getting a soundbar if you buy this set.

Unlike some other Onn TVs we’ve tested, which have done fairly well for overall picture quality, the 65-inch Onn 100012587 from Walmart’s private label brand does only okay in our tests and worse than that for HDR. Still, this is a very low price for a 4K set this size and might be an option for less finicky viewers on a tight budget. It’s a Roku TV, so it has access to a lot of streaming services. It’s still available for the same price as Black Friday.

The Amazon QL65F601A is still on sale for its Black Friday price. This is one of Amazon’s Omni-series QLED TVs, below the recently introduced Omni models that have Mini LED backlights. We tested this set, and it did well for overall picture quality, but it was subpar for HDR performance, not unusual at this price range. It uses the Amazon Fire TV smart system, with the Alexa voice assistant built in.

Situated right below Samsung’s pricier flagship QD-OLED TV for 2024, the Samsung QN65S90D is a smart all-around buy, with commendable picture quality and HDR performance. It has a lot of features, including an ATSC 3.0 tuner for receiving NextGen TV off-air signals where available. Note that it’s at, or close to, this price at several retailers. Walmart’s the only retailer still offering this set at a discount, and this is the same price we saw for Black Friday, which was $50 lower than anyone else sold it for.

The Tuft & Needle Original Foam Pillow is made of polyurethane foam and comes with a micro-polyamide and polyester cover. Despite this composition, testers found that the pillow excels in breathability. It is a great choice for side sleepers, but less ideal for back sleepers, according to our lab tests. Expect its firmness, height, and support to remain consistent with use.

This Brooklinen set is at its best price. It will fit a mattress up to 14 inches thick. Our testers note that these sheets don’t shrink as much as some other cotton sheets we tested. They earn above-average scores for both fit and shrinkage, which means that although they do tend to get smaller after washing, they don’t change all that much over time. Luxe Core sheets are on the softer side, based on our sensory test. Labels along each side that read “short side” and “long side” make clear which way to make a bed.

Buffy’s Cloud Comforter is the softest choice in our at-home assessment. Thanks to its smooth, silky feel and fluffiness, the duvet is comfortable enough to use without a duvet cover. Made of recycled materials, it’s uniformly stuffed in layers to prevent clumping and shedding. The shell material is 100 percent sateen-weave Tencel lyocell.

The brand-new Apple Watch Series 10—reviewed here for CR members—comes with a bigger, brighter display and faster charging capabilities, which might make tracking your sleep easier. The model is also equipped for the first time with sleep apnea detection cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. Walmart’s price jumped up $20, but is still an impressive discount.

HP makes a lot of Chromebooks, so it can be challenging to find the right one. Let’s save you some time: This 15.6-inch model has just about everything you want in a Chromebook here in late 2024, including an Intel processor, 8GB of memory, and 64GB of flash storage. That may seem underpowered if you’re used to Windows specs, but it’s more than sufficient for “Chromebook-y” things like browsing the web, editing documents, and participating in video calls. The model was just $20 cheaper on Black Friday.

This entry-level iPad from 2021 is a bargain at the usual price. At this price, it’s a steal. It features a 10.2-inch screen (measured diagonally) and boasts more than 14 hours of video play per charge, plus more than enough performance for everyday tasks like browsing the web and watching videos.

This pint-sized, foldable phone is now $40 more than its Black Friday price but still heavily discounted. It easily stows in your pocket but flips open to reveal a high-quality 6.7-inch display. The cover screen, which remains visible even when the device is closed, shows notifications, dynamic widgets, and your personalized wallpaper. The camera quality and battery life are both respectable. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is a solid performer for fans of foldable phones. 

The Amazon Echo Pop is the perfect way to test out a smart speaker in your home at a low cost. It’s 50 percent off right now, matching the lowest price we’ve seen for a smart speaker from the Echo family. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, so it may not be ideal if you’re looking primarily for music playback. But if you are more excited about adding smart functionality to any room in your house, this may fit the bill.

The Wyze Cam V4 is a tiny, yet mighty, security camera that works indoors and out. It offers great video quality and speedy response times for motion alerts. It works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant, but cloud video storage and certain features require a Wyze Cam subscription.

To make your holiday light display really pop this year, consider the Twinkly Strings. We tried out these lights a few years ago and found them to be a fun way to put on an elaborate light show. The lights connect to WiFi, so you can customize them from your smartphone, but they also work with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home/Siri, and Google Home/Assistant. The 400-LED option is $20 more than it was over the weekend.

The Arlo Video Doorbell 2K is one of the best video doorbells you can buy. It provides the flexibility to install it wherever you need it. You can run it using the rechargeable battery or hardwire it to a home’s doorbell wiring for continuous power. Features include geofencing and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as alerts for people, packages, animals, and vehicles) require an Arlo Secure subscription. This doorbell is back down to its fall Prime Day price.

The Easy-Take Skincare Fridge is the only skincare fridge we evaluated that has an LED mirror on the front door that has three brightness levels, which comes in handy if you’re trying to save space on your vanity. The fridge has one removable shelf, but the height can’t be adjusted. The door closes securely with a magnetic closure, but its capacity is smaller than other models we tried, and it was unable to fit a 13.5-fluid ounce bottle of Micellar water. It’s $3 more than its Black Friday price, but still worth a look.

Although this Philips Sonicare toothbrush is on the simpler side when it comes to extra features, it still performs admirably when it comes to teeth cleaning and ease of use. It offers two cleaning modes and comes with two especially helpful features: a timer and a pressure sensor. It doesn’t offer any connectivity to an app. It typically costs $40, but you can save an additional $5 with the on-page coupon.

The GHD Helios, while not as fast as a Drybar model or the popular Dyson dryer, still scored well in our dry-speed tests. It’s one of the loudest we tried, but it gave our testers voluminous locks. The Helios has two heat settings plus a cool shot, two speed settings, and a concentrator attachment. It also features a brushless motor, which could mean that this dryer will last longer than those without one. 

CR’s top-rated exercise bike from Peloton lands excellent ratings overall. It has a 22-inch touchscreen display (AC-powered) for connected classes and looking over session data, with many different exercise programs available through its subscription service, which is $39 each month. Resistance is easy to adjust using a knob. It’s also easy to adjust the bike’s handlebar height, seat height, and seat horizontal position—with more adjustment range than other exercise bikes. The Peloton does require bike shoes with delta clips. It has dual bottle holders.

The Sunny Walking Pad has the best safety key stop of any under-desk treadmill we tested, and the belt comes to a stop if no user is detected for 5 seconds, giving this machine points for safety, despite the narrow belt. It’s the second loudest machine we tested, and you can’t mute any beeping sounds caused by the controller or changing settings. It’s recommended for users under 220 pounds.

The PetLibro automatic pet feeder is now $15 less than it was all weekend, thanks to the on-page coupon. It was easy to use and has an app that makes setting schedules and dispensing food a breeze. It dispenses accurate amounts of dry food for dogs or cats and has a voice recording feature that allows you to call your pet for meals. It was recently selling for $66, so this isn’t the absolute lowest price.

The Cube is not specifically intended for pet tracking but to help people keep track of a range of possessions, including cars, luggage, and kids backpacks, as well as pets. Plus, it’s now 50 percent off, the lowest price it’s ever been and $25 less than last week. That puts the Cube at a disadvantage as a pet tracker, despite its competent core tracking abilities. The device is relatively large and heavy, but most dog collars won’t fit through its thin slots, so you need to purchase an add-on collar clip for $25. More significantly, the app lacks pet-specific features like fitness and activity tracking and a light beacon for spotting your dog at night.

On the other hand, it does let you set a home “safe zone” and virtual fence, and does emit a fairly loud sound alert. It’s also very solidly constructed, creates detailed and easy-to-read location histories, and is capable of delivering high-temperature alerts.

The Tractive GPS Dog LTE is the top-scoring model in our testing and was especially easy to set up and use. Light and compact yet sturdy, the slender unit easily attaches to any dog collar and will fit comfortably on most small dogs and even cats. The app is among the best of the bunch, with a clean and intuitive interface. In the live mode, which you activate if your pet goes AWOL, it geolocates every 2 to 3 seconds, and that makes for more precise tracking, showing you locations almost in real time.

The Shyft DualRide conveniently combines a car seat and stroller, but comes at a steep price. With strong scores for maneuverability, safety, and ease of use, it’s a solid performer as a stroller, and it also scored well in our car seat tests. The drawbacks are that it lacks one-touch brakes and the ability to fold with one hand, and it doesn’t stand when folded. But it’s also suitable for infants and up until the child outgrows the car seat, and it meets Disney parks’ stroller-size requirements. When combined with the stroller, the Shyft is on the heavier side for an infant car seat.

The 4moms Connect receives high marks in our safety tests and is very easy to use, but it’s only so-so in our ease-of-cleaning evaluations. This chair is much lighter than our other top picks at just 17 pounds thanks to its plastic construction. It has a foam seat, allowing you to simply wipe it down to clean it, but it lacks wheels and can’t fold up for storage. Other features include a food tray that you can remove with one hand, a seat that reclines and allows the height to be adjusted, and the option of converting it to a toddler chair.

The Thule Spring stroller offers helpful features for parents including a one-hand-fold mechanism, one-touch brakes, and an adjustable handle (especially helpful if parents are different heights!). CR testers said it was pretty easy to handle and it is moderately sized at 21 pounds and 24 inches in width. The stroller is also very compact when folded up and it is self-standing—definite perks for storage. Just note that it doesn’t accommodate infants under 6 months.

The Labigo Electric Spin Scrubber comes with four different cleaning heads (large flat, small flat, pointed corner, and large round). It has a single speed and weighs 26 ounces with its extension handle. The unit’s battery is located in the handle, and its head is fixed at 45 degrees, so this unit may not fit into tighter spaces.

A portable purifier that keeps your air clean and matches your mid-century modern design aesthetic? Yes, please. The HoMedics AP-C500 is a large-room air purifier with a budget-friendly price tag, even on a normal day. It’s an even better deal on sale. It performs impressively on both high and low speeds and it’s easy to use, but you should expect a fair amount of noise while it’s running.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this air purifier; just make sure to use the on-page coupon for the biggest discount.

While it’s not at the very top of our ratings, there’s plenty to like in this Ego leaf blower. It’s effective, easy to use, and, like all Ego lawn tools, it has a battery that can be swapped between tools, so you can use one battery while charging another. It’s worth noting that Ego has some newer leaf blowers that perform slightly better, but most will set you back at least $100 more.

The Sleep Number C2 is $40 more than it was for the holiday weekend. It earns a stellar rating for petite and average back-sleeper support and scores very well in our support tests for all other sleepers. Those sleeping with a partner will appreciate that this bed is quite stable, so movement throughout the night remains mostly isolated. CR members who own a Sleep Number mattress are very happy with their purchase, and the brand earns a top-tier comfort rating.

Avocado makes some top-notch mattresses, and this sale is a great chance to save on one. (The Green usually goes for $1,999, and the Green Pillowtop is priced at $2,799.) Both Avocado mattresses support a wide range of side- and back-sleeper body types. On our firmness scale, the Avocado Green is very firm and the Green Pillowtop is medium-firm. If you’re a digital CR member, log in to save just a bit more.

At just 24 inches wide, the Whirlpool WRT112CZJZ is one of the smallest top-freezers available, yet it delivers strong performance all-around—and now it’s $100 less than it was just a few days ago. Given its price, it’s an incredible bargain. This refrigerator garners stellar ratings for temperature uniformity and noise output, making it one of the quietest top-freezers we’ve tested, and it receives a strong rating for energy efficiency. But this model receives our lowest rating for ease of use. In surveys of our members, Whirlpool top-freezers got a top-notch rating for predicted reliability but a poor rating for owner satisfaction, a common combination with top-freezer brands.

The LG LFCS22520S French-door refrigerator, now $20 better than its former best price for members (it’s free to sign up), receives stellar ratings for thermostat control and temperature uniformity, and impresses in our tests for noise performance. This 30-inch-wide LG achieves only midlevel scores for energy efficiency and ease of use. LG French-door refrigerators earned only middling predicted reliability and owner satisfaction scores in our member surveys. This model comes with digital controls, a door-open alarm, an icemaker, and spillproof shelves, but it lacks a built-in water filter. For a similar version to this refrigerator with a through-the-door water/ice dispenser, see the LG LFDS22520S.

The 36-inch-wide, 28-inch-deep GE GZS22IYNFS is a solid all-around performer, netting a strong score for its thermostat control and solid ratings for temperature uniformity and ease of use, though it lags slightly in terms of energy efficiency and noise level. This model comes with an external water and ice dispenser, as well as a built-in water filter and gallon storage bins. In our member surveys, GE side-by-sides received a very good rating for predicted reliability but a poor rating for owner satisfaction.

The LG LTGL6937F is at the best price we’ve seen all year, beating the previous best by $400. It has a gas cooktop and two gas ovens, both with convection. It’s among the best double-oven gas ranges in our ratings, and it comes with continuous grates, a griddle burner, and WiFi connectivity that lets you control the oven temperature from your smartphone. Broiling is just middling. Otherwise, it heats fast, simmers steadily, and bakes evenly, too.

The LG LREL6321S single oven is an exceptionally strong performer at a great price. It’s far less expensive than the spiffier LG below, but it still heats fast and simmers steadily on top of the stove, earning an excellent performance rating in our cooktop high and low tests. It also bakes and broils evenly. There’s no convection mode, but you’ll find a warming element, along with two high-powered burners on the cooktop. LG earns high reliability ratings for its electric ovens based on our member surveys.
