Black Friday 2022 live: the best deals at Dyson and more this wekend
Refresh
Is it Black Friday yet?
No – but there are some very good Black Friday deals already that are unlikely to become much better in the two weeks between now and Black Friday proper, on November 25.
TVs, in particular, have huge discounts this weekend – there’s still time to get a new one before the World Cup. Amazon and Currys are your best bet, and we’ve seen a few decent deals at John Lewis and Very this morning too. We’ll highlight the best deals here shortly…
Plenty of small appliances, too, are heavily discounted at the moment. Coffee makers and cordless vacuums are among the biggest bargains we’ve seen so far. For example, you can get a single-serve DeLonghi Nescafé Dolce coffee machine for just £29 at Amazon today – that’s a massive 65% discount from its full price of £79.99, and we don’t expect it to become cheaper on Black Friday itself. Bargain.
Welcome back
Hello to everyone joining us this morning as we walk through all the latest Black Friday news and deals on Saturday November 11.
Stick with us as we walk you through the sales worth taking seriously today – and those that look as though they’ve started, but are likely to have better deals over the coming fortnight.
Quick – LG’s C2 OLED TV just crashed to a record-low price
We’ve just spotted this year’s best-rated TV on sale for $1,296 at Amazon.com. That’s a $150 discount, and the lowest price we’ve seen for the outstanding LG C2 OLED, which sits at the top of our best TV guide.
It showcases everything we love about OLED technology, with excellent brightness and contrast levels. There’s virtual surround sound, smart capabilities and voice control, and it has an extremely thin design.
Having tested it with everything from regular SD shows to Dolby Vision blockbusters, we found the C2 OLED is more than capable of handling pretty much any content you can throw at it. Just don’t buy it if you need HDR10+ support – you’ve got HDR10 and HLG, but there’s no HDR10+ to be found.
Shark cordless vac almost half price
We haven’t reviewed this one ourselves (we tested the model up, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ300 – which we gave 4/5 stars), but the huge discount caught my eye. With £180 cut off the price at Amazon, the Shark IZ202UK is now less than £200 – I’m strongly considering getting it myself. I’ve been trying to replace my Henry for months…
It has a 40-min run time and comes with a second battery, so you could use it in a larger home – although it’s probably better suited to medium or smaller houses, like mine. It averages 4.5/5 stars from over 80 user reviews on Amazon, and on the Shark site it’s a similar story, with an average score of 4.7/5.
Some people say it’s a bit heavy, but overall it seems to do a good job. I think I’m in…
7 coffee machines under £100
9 of the best Black Friday deals in the UK
We’ve looked at some of the best deals in the US – but what about in the UK? Here are a few things that stood out to our deals experts…
One of the best laptops ever made gets a $700 price cut
Dell has launched its Black Friday sale, and it’s well worth a look if you need a new laptop. The one that caught our eye is this huge $700 discount on a high-end Dell XPS 15, which drops the price from $2,899 to $2,199.
It’s a productivity powerhouse, as you might expect given the price, with new Intel Alder Lake processors and RTX GPUs packed into the classic XPS laptop design. We found that it’s even capable of some moderate gaming. We gave it a full five stars in our Dell XPS 15 (2022) review.
Don’t buy it if you don’t need the best of the best – those specs are going to be overkill for a lot of people. But if you want to own what we think is arguably the perfect computer for most Windows users, this is a good deal. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen so far.
Beats Studio Buds get a $50 price cut before Black Friday
The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made. We gave them 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review: they’re comfortable to wear and they sound great, plus they support active noise cancellation.
Unfortunately, their call quality isn’t perfect and they’re missing Apple’s H1 Wireless Chip. But at $99.99 – which is their current price at Amazon, down from $149.95 – they’re a lot cheaper than Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 $234. We think they’re an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.
6 more of the best Black Friday TV deals at Best Buy
We said Best Buy has a huge range of TV deals today, and we meant it. Here are six more cracking offers.
Get a 48-inch LG OLED TV for just $569
We’ve been extremely impressed with this year’s Black Friday TV deals so far. Leading the pack is Best Buy, with some of the lowest prices ever on a whole range of 4K, QLED, and OLED displays from all the top brands.
Case in point: the LG A2 48-inch OLED TV – which has a massive $730 discount, taking it down to just $569.99
