Amazon UK has announced that its Black Friday sale will start on November 21 and feature savings of up to 40% on thousands of products across TVs, appliances, headphones, laptops, smart home gadgets, toys, clothing, and more.
It's also confirmed in a press release that offers from big names such as Ninja, Bose, Tefal, LG, and Blink will all feature in the upcoming sale.

Today's best early Black Friday deals at Amazon
One of my favourite budget air fryer deals ahead of Black Friday can be found at Amazon right now. This heavily reduced Tefal Easy Fry is a decently sized 8.3L model that's almost at the same price as the smaller 5-litre options I've seen at other retailers. We haven't personally reviewed this model at TechRadar but it's from a trusted brand and down to the lowest price I've seen all year.
Mix up your advent calendar this year so that instead of a daily chocolate you get a new mini Lego set to build or a character to assemble. This is the cheapest price we've seen for the Star Wars-themed version of the popular holiday treat. As well as five character minifigs, it also has several mini-builds of iconic Star Wars vehicles that are sure to please any fans of adventures in a galaxy far, far away.
At just £39, now is a great time to buy Samsung's budget smartwatch. As well as all the basic fitness, health and sleep tracking features, the Galaxy Fit3 is an excellent extension to your smartphone that lets you check your messages, control your music and navigate easily with simple gestures. Everything centres around the impressive 1.6-inch AMOLED display and battery life is also not a problem with 13 days on a single charge.
Here's a fantastic low price for a two-pack of smart plugs that offer a suite of handy features to control your devices around the home. You can use them with any existing socket and connect an assortment of devices such as chargers, lights, small appliances, and more. Remote controls, schedules, and more are all handled in the free smartphone app, plus they are compatible with Google Home and Alexa for voice control. We've highly praised previous TP-Link smart plugs here at TechRadar, so it's a brand we trust. Plus, they sit with a solid 4.7-star rating after almost 30,000 reviews on Amazon.
Now that the Pixel 9 is here, the standard Pixel 8 has been dropped to a record-low price at Amazon. While it lacks a few of its premium sibling's high-end features, the Pixel 8 nonetheless boasts a refreshed design, Google's powerful Tensor G3 chipset, and several neat AI features. For £449, it's a steal for this 128GB storage model, though you can upgrade to the 256GB version for an extra £60.
What's better than one of Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot smart speakers for cheap? How about two – and a bonus smart plug thrown in for free too? Amazon's latest model got four stars in our Echo Dot (5th Gen) review for its improved audio experience, new temperature sensor and all the handy Alexa features like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. Meanwhile, the smart plug has a suite of features to control your devices. You can use it with any existing socket and connect an assortment of devices such as chargers, lights, TVs, appliances and more.
These have been some of the surprise earbuds of the year, scoring a sweet five stars in our Nothing Ear (a) review – and now you can get them for their lowest price ever. Considering the latest AirPods are still around £130, the fact that these boast massively superior sound and great active noise cancellation for far less than Apple's offering makes them a no-brainer.
This Oral-B iO4 model sits between the reasonably-priced and eye-wateringly expensive electric toothbrushes from the manufacturer, making it a difficult one to easily recommend. Most of us will be happy with the cheaper Pro 3 as it works fine and has all the useful safety features you need, while enthusiasts will appreciate the more advanced smart features in the pricier iO8. This one offers an OK middle-ground, with some basic brush tracking in a connected app to help you improve and refine your teeth-cleaning habits.
It's not the most glamorous deal but this is a good price for a set of 24 batteries at Amazon from big-name brand Duracell. These are always a handy buy for a variety of tech items and gadgets, especially for any new toys that need the juice on Christmas Day.
Here's a super-cheap Lenovo tablet deal in the Black Friday sales at Amazon. It's getting older now and the spec is lightweight but if you just need an affordable device for everyday jobs, watching videos and light use this will be up to the task.
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. It's now back down to the cheapest price I've ever seen. This bundle includes the handle as well as three spare blades, multiple combs, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.
Will the air fryer craze ever calm down? It still doesn't seem likely, as the handy kitchen gadgets continue to sell like hotcakes. If you've not got one yet then now's a great time to try the tech for yourself as the Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK is already down to its lowest price ever at Amazon ahead of Black Friday. We said this compact model is an excellent and easy-to-use entry-level air fryer for those cooking meals for one or two people in our Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK review.

This is one of the best discounts I've seen on the new Surface Pro models and it's a tempting buy after we were super-impressed in our Surface Pro 11 review. This version boasts a gorgeous 13-inch PixelSense Flow OLED display at 2880 x 1920 resolution so it looks sharp and crisp with some vibrant colors and deep blacks. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon X Plus processor ensures excellent battery life and combines well with its many AI features to simplify your life.

Electric toothbrushes are always best sellers during any Prime Day sale, and this deal has dropped this advanced and top-rated Philips Sonicare to a little over £100 – a new record-low price The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean features four different brushing modes and the pressure sensor will notify you when you're brushing too hard.
With its capable Exynos 1380 chipset, bright 6.6-inch display and hefty 5,000mAh battery, the Galaxy A35 is a great phone for those who want to save money and have no need of the advanced bells and whistles in the pricier flagship handsets. It's currently on sale at Amazon for a record-low price of £289.
The Nespresso Creatista Plus is slick and sophisticated. It promises a three-second heat-up time and there's a steam arm for milk frothing (and getting creative with latte art). The touchscreen will guide you through a selection of coffee recipes, and they can all be personalised to your own preferences, too. It's very rare for this machine to drop below £300, so this early Black Friday deal is well worth snapping up.
I can't help but feel 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 30% discount makes this an even sweeter deal.
