How to spot a genuine deal
01
Look past the percentage
Check the reference price the discount is based on (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 cut on an appliance that doesn't suit your home or habits is not a saving. Decide which model fits first (that's what our guides are for), then see whether it is on offer.
03
Check the exact version
Similar names hide different bundles: 'Complete', 'Plus' or 'Ultra' editions, kits and accessories. Make sure the deal is on the version you want.
04
Check who sells it
Sold and shipped by Amazon or by a third-party seller: returns and warranty terms can differ.

Frequently asked questions
Friday 27 November 2026, followed by Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Amazon usually opens its deals about a week before; the exact dates of its event appear on its Black Friday page.
Not necessarily. Both are prominent during the event, but a discount only matters on the right model. If the appliance you need is already at a price that suits you, there's no reason to wait.
Check the reference price Amazon uses for the discount (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 means little if the reference price was inflated.
Prices change several times a day during Black Friday. Rather than a figure that is quickly out of date, we name the models worth watching and link to Amazon, where the price shown is the current one.
