Black Friday deals 2024: when deals start and what you can expect

Echo Pop with TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb: was $64.98 now $39.99 at Amazon
My favorite pre-Black Friday deal is the Echo Pop smart speaker bundled with a TP-Link Tap smart color bulb for $39.99 - a 38% discount. For that money, you're getting a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free and you can control your lights with the included smart bulb.

Ninja 4QT Air Fryer: was $89 now $59 at Walmart
Air fryers are always a popular Black Friday category, and this top-rated Ninja model is on sale for a record-low price at Walmart. The four-quart air fryer has a wide temperature range, so you can quickly cook and crisp your favorite foods. It also features a compact design, perfect for people working in a small space.

Apple Watch Series 9: was $399.99 now $299 at Walmart
Thanks to the Apple Watch 10 release, Walmart has the best-selling Apple Watch 9 on sale for $299. That's a record-low price and beats Amazon's current offer. The Series 9 smartwatch packs Apple's S9 SiP chip, which delivers a brighter display and 18 hours of battery life. You also get advanced health and safety features, GPS technology, and the double-tap capability that lets you use your watch without touching the display.

Coslus Water Dental Flosser Teeth Pick: was $39.99 now $19.98 at Amazon
The top-rated Coslus Water Dental flosser squirts hard jets of water between your teeth to eliminate the need for disposable floss. This cordless model features a compact design, a 300ml extra-large water tank, and a 30-day battery life. Today's pre-Black Friday deal brings down the price to a record-low of just $19.98.

Shark Navigator Lift-Away XL Upright Vacuum: was $199.99 now $97.99 at Walmart
This exact model was a best-seller at last year's Black Friday sale, and it's currently marked down to $97.99  at Walmart- the lowest price we've ever seen. The upright vacuum works on carpet and hard floors and features lift-away technology, so you can lift the pod to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $299 at Amazon
Apple recently slashed the recommended starting price of the iPad 10.9 to $349 earlier this month, but Amazon has now dropped it even further to a record low. It's great value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.

LG C3 65-inch OLED TV (2023): was $2,499.99 now $1,296.99 at Amazon
This is an incredible deal if you want to splash out on a premium OLED display. LG's highly rated 65-inch C3 OLED TV is on sale for $1,296.99 - a whopping $1,200 discount and a record-low price. While it's a 2023 display, it still delivers a brilliant picture with bright colors and powerful contrast, thanks to LG's latest Alpha9 Gen6 chip, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and a sleek, thin design.

Amazon Fire TV 50-inch 4-Series 4K TV: was $449.99 now $279.99 at Amazon
Amazon has its 50-inch 4-Series 4K TV on sale for its lowest price ahead of Black Friday. The picture quality on this 50-inch Fire TV is solid overall, with support for ultra-HD 4K resolution and HDR 10 for better lighting and colors. Plus, access to all major streaming apps is just a button press or voice command away.

Apple AirPods 4 (without active noise cancellation): was $129 now $119 at Amazon
I predict Apple's all-new AirPods 4 will be a hot item at this year's Black Friday sale, and you can already grab a first-time discount at Amazon. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and supports USB-C for wireless charging.

You can also get the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation on sale for $169 (originally $179).

Amazon Fire 7 tablet (16GB): was $79.99 now $49.99 at Amazon
Amazon's best-selling Fire tablets are another Black Friday favorite, and Amazon has the affordable Fire 7 on sale for just $49.99 - a record-low price. The Fire 7 tablet features a seven-inch touchscreen display, 32GB of RAM, up to 10 hours of battery life, and Amazon Alexa onboard for hands-free control.

Apple MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $649 at Walmart
While we've seen the Air M1 go for as little as $699 previously, Walmart has beaten that already excellent discount by $50. Not only is this an outstanding price for such a powerful laptop that still holds up great for 2024, but this could be the last chance to pick one up now that it's officially discontinued. I can't imagine the price dropping any further during Black Friday, so you should take advantage of this incredible deal now.

Oura Ring Generation 3 Horizon: was $349 now $299 at Amazon
Sales like Black Friday are your best chance to score a rare discount on the best-selling Oura Ring. This is the best price we've ever seen on this unique piece of tech, and there are savings to be had across the board for all the different colors, too. So, if you want to get a different tint to match your style, you can save up to $100 on several options.

That's just $10 more than the record-low price and the best deal we've seen this year. The single-serve coffee maker features a compact design for easy storage and uses K-Cups to brew a fresh, hot cup of coffee in minutes.

LG 48-inch C4 OLED 4K TV: was $1,999.99 now $996.99 at Amazon
I can't imagine the price will drop further during Black Friday on LG's 48-inch C4 OLED TV. Ranked in our best TV guide, the 2024 C4 features exceptional brightness, LG's latest Alpha 9 AI chip for improved performance, and impressive gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support and 144Hz certification from Nvidia.
