This article contains deals across broad categories of products from several retailers that we think you’ll want to know about. In some instances, we may make a commission on purchases made from those retailers.
Black Friday is in its final hours and October’s Prime Day-creator marketplace Amazon is still offering up thousands of deals for Black Friday. Among its colleagues in the sales space offering similar, wide-ranging discounts are Wayfair, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Nordstrom and Macy’s — to name a few. And while Amazon will be dropping deals throughout Cyber Cyber Monday and Cyber Week on everything from laptops to TVs, you can certainly save while shopping tonight. Doing so has other intrinsic value, as well, given that leading delivery services, including FedEx and UPS, are anticipating shipping delays, an approximate “shortfall of as many as 7 million packages a day,” NBC News reported in October.
SKIP AHEAD Best Black Friday deals at Amazon
Now in full swing. Amazon’s Black Friday is offering you pages upon pages of sales, as well as daily discounts and long-lasting holiday sales besides. To help you navigate the many avenues open to you when it comes to gifting via Amazon, we broke down some easy-to-navigate buckets below, including price points, giftee types, ratings and, of course, products we know NBC News Shopping care for and care about.
Best Black Friday Amazon deals
1. Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug by TP-Link
- Rating: 4.8-star average rating, more than 5,100 reviewers
This is the lowest price the Kasa smart plug has ever been. This simple and highly-rated smart home upgrade lets you plug two different non-smart devices into them and turn them into smart home devices. Using Kasa’s app and Wi-Fi, you can tell the water-resistant plug to turn each device on or off, separately and from as many as 300 feet away. Using either Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, you can also control it by voice command.
2. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
- Rating: 4.6-star average rating, more than 3,540 reviewers
According to CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest these overhead headphones have ever been. This model is an upgrade to Sony’s extremely powerful and wildly popular WH-1000XM3 headphones, which we determined were one of the best noise canceling headphones out right now. And the new pair makes them ever more feature-focused. Upgraded microphones will clarify phone calls (or voice recordings and command to your smart assistant). And the new edition can pair with multiple devices concurrently (helpful if you want to listen to your music off of your phone and take a work Zoom meeting call through your laptop).
3. iRobot 3150 Roomba i3 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi
- Rating: 4.5-star average rating, more than 80 reviewers
Roomba's i series encompasses their more advanced models and this is the lowest price the i3 has been offered at, according to CamelCamelCamel. Instead of random navigation around your home, the i series can clean in neat, straight lines, which might be more effective in larger spaces — especially when combined with its increased suction (when compared to the e5). The i3 is a standalone vacuum, but the i3+ comes with a self-emptying dock — you don't have to clean out the chamber as often.
