All the best early Black Friday sales in the UK — I'm picking out all of the best deals from Amazon, Argos, Ninja, Currys, Shark, Nintendo, and more

Your guide to the best offers ahead of the end-of-year mega sale

Somehow, it seems to start earlier every year. Yes, many of this year's Black Friday sales are already underway in the UK this month — a whole three weeks before the day itself is due to take place. But are any of these early deals any good?

That's what I'm here to help with: hunting down only the very best offers that are worth spending your cash on if you're planning to do some early shopping. And with price promises or guarantees in place at many stores, it can make sense to take advantage of current deals if anything catches your eye or if you want to spread out your spending.

Big names such as Argos, Currys, AO, Dyson, EE, and Shark/Ninja have all kicked off sales in the last few days. I've looked through all of these and more to pick out several standout deals on TVs, appliances, games consoles, laptops, phones, 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.

With many more deals expected to drop over the next few weeks, you can be sure that I'll be back to bring you more updates as the rest of the team and I find more highlights.

My top 27 early Black Friday deals

Ninja AF300UK Dual Zone 7.6L Air Fryer: was £199.99 now £129 at Amazon

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.

Acer Swift Air 14: was £699 now £499 at Currys

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.

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: £459.99 at Nintendo Store UK

As far as Switch 2 bundles go, this is one of the best value options I've ever seen. You get the console, plus the excellent Mario Kart World, a 256GB microSD card to expand the storage, and a Nintendo Switch 2 camera to use the console's GameChat features. Altogether, the saving is about £95 compared to buying everything at full price, and it's even more of a steal when you consider that the console by itself retails for £419.99.

Oral-B iO Series 2: was £160 now £59.95 at Amazon

The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B's range of electric toothbrushes, but this is an excellent deal on a pair of entry-level options that are also bundled with a few handy extras. The iO2 doesn't boast many 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 refill holder and a travel case included for free.

Shark Stratos Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: was £419.99 now £199 at Currys

Here's a fantastic saving on the appliance we awarded 4.5 stars out of five in our Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner review. I can't praise these vacuums enough for the Anti Hair Wrap tech that's saved me so much time unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum. Flexology makes it a good option for reaching under furniture, and this upgraded Stratos version boasts a duo clean brush roll and Clean Sense IQ that automatically adjusts suction power to tackle tougher areas of dirt. Battery life is an impressive 60 minutes, and you get handy pet tool accessories for free.

Renpho Massage Gun: was £39.99 now £32.24 at Amazon

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.

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.

Sage Barista Express: was £629.99 now £499.99 at Currys

The Breville Barista Express is on par with some of the best espresso machines we've reviewed here at TechRadar. It has a higher learning curve than the average espresso machine, but it allows you to hone your coffee skills to make drinks exactly how you like them. This is just $50 more than the record-low price for the entry-level espresso maker and it remains a best-seller at Amazon, so it's looking like the right time for me to upgrade.

You can combine the discount code 'NOV26' to get £300 off, plus the extra £100 off you get for paying with PayPal, to make a big saving on the excellent foldable. Equally, you can combine the code with the £10 per month Three plan for an even better price – one you can reduce further with a trade-in.

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.

Plus, there's another £150 off if you recycle your old TV, and a free soundbar will be added to your basket at checkout. The R85H stands out for its excellent colour and image quality, thanks to the array of micro RGB LEDs.

The Microsoft Surface Pro is a 2-in-1 laptop that doubles up as a tablet to be a flexible and versatile machine for everyday use, work, and all of your productivity needs. This is the best version of the Surface Pro yet, based on our testing, with its powerful Snapdragon X2 Plus processor and lengthy battery life.

Nutribullet Blender 600 Series: was £69.99 now £69.95 at Amazon

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.

MSI MAG 276CXF 27-inch Curved Gaming Monitor: was £129 now £109 at Currys

Let's start with a Black Friday favourite

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer AF300UK

Air fryers were a major part of previous Black Friday sales, and while we must be at a point now where almost everyone who wants one actually has one, there may be some out there who haven't converted to the tech yet (myself included).

Well, if you were waiting for an offer, the excellent and five-star-rated Ninja AF300UK is now on sale for Black Friday, equaling the record-low price from earlier this year. The best dual basket air fryer on the market was £10 cheaper in the previous Black Friday sale, but there's no guarantee a similar offer will return in 2026.
