How to spot a real deal
01
Look past the percentage off
Check which reference price the discount is calculated from (the info icon next to the deal explains it) and compare the deal price with what the model usually sells for.
02
Choose the model before the discount
A big markdown on an appliance that doesn't suit your home or your habits doesn't save you anything. Decide which model fits first (that's what our guides are for), then see whether it's on sale.
03
Check the exact version
Similar names can hide different bundles: “Complete,” “Plus” or “Ultra” editions, kits and accessories. Make sure the deal is on the version you actually want.
04
Check who's selling it
Sold and shipped by Amazon, or by a third-party seller? Return and warranty terms can differ.

Frequently asked questions
Friday, November 27, 2026, followed by Cyber Monday on Monday, November 30. Amazon usually opens its deals about a week earlier; the exact dates of its event are posted on its Black Friday page.
Not necessarily. Both are front and centre during the event, but a discount only matters on the right model. If the appliance you need is already at a price you're comfortable with, there's no reason to wait.
Check the reference price Amazon bases the discount on (the info icon next to the deal explains it), and make sure the offer is on the exact version of the model you want. A big percentage off means little if the reference price was inflated.
Prices change several times a day during Black Friday. Rather than a figure that goes out of date quickly, we name the models worth watching and link to Amazon, where the price you see is the current one.
