Thanks for joining our live coverage of Amazon's Black Friday Week
The retailer's big end-of-year sale got underway at midnight and there are thousands of deals live right now across the site. We've dove into the huge pile of overflowing offers and emerged with some of the very best ones to share with you right here.
Stay with us throughout the day and for the week ahead to get all the latest news on Amazon's Black Friday deals extravaganza, including our top picks and expert buying advice from across the team here at TechRadar.
This is not a drill: Sony's five-star earbuds just dropped to their cheapest price ever
We've already seen some fantastic deals on Sony headphones in the early Black Friday sales at Amazon – and that only continues with the launch of the retailer's main sale today.
Regular readers and audio lovers will need no further fanfare from us regarding the excellent Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds. Now, you can get the excellent Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds for the lowest price we've ever seen.
We awarded these top-tier, class-A Sony buds the full five stars in our review. They deliver stunning sound quality, strong active noise cancellation and a solid eight hours of battery life.
If you’re looking for a deal on some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds this Black Friday then you've just found them.
Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds: was £250 now £159, Amazon
Black Friday offers like this don’t come along very often. We briefly saw them dip to £169, but this is a whole £10 cheaper than we’ve ever seen them, and if you don’t want to be left feeling sad then strike now, friend! Sony’s immersive LDAC, excellent ANC, eight hours of battery life from just the earbuds and stunning five-star sound quality all for £91 off the RRP? Click on through. View Deal
Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds: was $279.99 now $178 at Best Buy
And there’s just as good a deal in the US today, with a $101 saving at Best Buy. Although we have seen them briefly at this price before, (a few weeks ago at Amazon, if you must know) the deal was over in a flash, leaving some of the TechRadar team disappointed. Thankfully, it’s here again. Sony’s immersive LDAC, excellent ANC, eight hours on battery life from just the earbuds and stunning sound quality? Yes please. View Deal
A must-buy TV for football fans ahead of the World Cup
The 2022 FIFA World Cup is right around the corner – and, if you're like us, you'll be inviting your friends around to enjoy as many matches as possible. But what if your TV isn't up to scratch?
Right now, one of the best offers on an large screen yet affordable display is this TCL 65-inch QLED TV. Pre-Black Friday, this 65-inch screen clocked in at at £699, but it's received a hefty reduction and you can now get £150 off at Amazon.
TCL C635K 65-inch QLED 4K TV: was £699 now £549 at Amazon
If you’re looking for a big-screen 4K TV that won’t break the bank, this deal is the one for you. It’s also rare to see a 65-inch TV at this price with these specs. With support for 4K resolution, Dolby Vision HDR, a QLED display and Android TV containing all of your favourite streaming services, it’s a huge amount of TV for the price.View Deal
Powerful budget smartphone gets a price cut
The excellent Google Pixel 6a has dropped to just £299 at Amazon. That's £100 off the usual price and brings this excellent mid-range device down to its lowest price yet.
The Google Pixel 6a is essentially a stripped-down version of the excellent Google Pixel 6 flagship device from 2021. It's got the same speedy Tensor chip inside and overall design, but with a few tweaks here and there.
The combination of a powerful chip, a unique design, and an excellent camera makes it easily one of the most fully featured phones at this price point. In particular, the potential for camera wizardry provided by the Tensor chip – such as Magic Eraser – is something you'll struggle to find on rival mid-range devices.
It's also on sale at the Google Store for the same price.
Google Pixel 6a: was £399 now £299 at Amazon
The Google Pixel 6a is now at its lowest-ever price in the UK right now thanks to a hefty £100 price cut at Amazon. With a speedy Tensor chip, excellent camera, and eye-catching design, the Google Pixel 6a is an absolute steal at this price point for those after a more affordable and capable smart phone.View Deal
6 of the best deals at Amazon this morning
There's loads going on in the Amazon sale this morning – you name it, there's a discount. Here are six of our faves so far…
1. Champagne, wine and whiskey: from £6.99 at Amazon
With party season almost upon us, now is a good time to stock up the drinks cabinet. Amazon is here to help you do that for less, with savings of up to 28% on a selection of wines, champagnes, vodkas and whiskies. Single bottles or larger cases are available, including well-known brands such as Jameson and Absoslut.View Deal
2. Yankee Candle sale: from £1.33 at Amazon
Set the right mood with this selection of Yankee Candle wax melts and candles from just £1.89. Given the time of year, there’s a wide selection of Christmas-themed scents, but you can also pick up some more universal options if you’d rather not have a home smelling of cinnamon and cedar wood just yet.View Deal
3. Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker by Krups: was £199.99 £70.39 at Amazon
This Nespresso coffee maker had a £100 discount last week, and the price has dropped again in the Amazon Black Friday sale to £70 – that’s the cheapest it’s been this year. Similar to the Nespresso Vertuo Next, the Vertuo Plus can make 5, 8, 14 or 18 oz coffees and espressos, but the difference here is that the Plus has an automatic open for pods and a rotating water tank. You’ll lose out on the Next’s Wi-Fi connectivity, mind, but your water (and therefore your coffee) will stay fresher. £70 is a great price for this particular model.View Deal
4. Shark IZ202UKTDB Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Flexology: £379.99 £189.99 at Amazon
You can save £189 on this limited edition deluxe Shark cordless vacuum at Amazon, which is now £10 cheaper than it was last week. There’s a lot going for this stick vac, which has a runtime of up to 40 minutes, an anti-allergen complete seal and comes with 4 attachments: a crevice tool, an upholstery tool and an anti-hair wrap pet tool. It’s a good choice of cordless vacuum for pet owners, and it’ll be a good idea to buy this deal now while stock lasts.View Deal
5. Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones: was £380 now £298 at Amazon
There’s currently £83 off what are quite simply the newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were outstanding and the XM3 before it were excellent, so it’ll come as little surprise to know that Sony’s latest XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping 21% off. They’ve only been as cheap as this once before – and these cans only launched in May 2022. Our advice? This is a top deal on a winning pair of new noise-cancelling headphones. View Deal
6. LG C2 48-inch OLED 4K TV: was £1,399 now £949 at Amazon
If you’re looking for an excellent deal on our favourite all rounder LG OLED, this £400 discount at Amazon is it. We didn’t rate the LG C2 five stars for nothing – the picture quality is exceptional. The C2 has a sleek minimal design, great connectivity, and brilliant gaming credentials with four HDMI 2.1 ports to take advantage of the new gen consoles. And the 48-inch model means it won’t even take up too much room.View Deal
Electric blankets from £29.99
It's definitely getting colder… If, like us, you're reluctant to turn the heating on yet, an electric blanket might be a worthwhile investment.
Amazon has a whole load of discounts in its electric blanket selection, with prices starting from just under £30 for a budget double electric blanket from Bedsure, all the way up to, er, over £2,000 for 'intelligent' blankets with all kinds of smart functionality.
Personally, we'd stick to the £40-£60 mark – you can get something that does the job well in this range. But it depends on the size of your bed and how much luxury you're looking for, of course. Here are some highlights.
Bedsure Under Electric Blanket: was £39.99 now £29 at Amazon
Best budget – There’s a 25% discount on this budget electric blanket at Amazon. It comes in double and king sizes, and has an automatic switch-off function after 10 hours, plus four temperature settings. Amazon says it’s a best-seller, and it has an average score of 4/5 stars from 500-odd user reviews. Which is good, but not as good as the SilentNight option above (which boasts a score of 4.5/5 from almost 30,000 user reviews). Still, it doesn’t come with the more luxe extra versions that the Silentnight one has, which are likely propping up that score.
Slumberdown Wonderfully Warm Electric Blanket (double): was £99.99 now £90 at Amazon
Luxury choice – The Slumberdown Wonderfully Warm Multi Zone Single Electric Blanket has nine heat settings, a timer and automatic shut off, and a deep-filled quilted fleece comfort layer. It starts at £70 for a single and goes up to super king sizes (£100, down from £105). There’s also a cheaper version with three settings that starts from £42.50 for a single.
Still using a manual toothbrush? Here's what you need
Upgrading to an electric toothbrush is one of the best ways to improve your mouth health and get a superior clean. However, a lot of electric toothbrushes are packed with unnecessary over-the-top features and eye-watering prices.
That's where the Oral-B Pro 1 comes in. It's now just £25 at Amazon and does exactly what you need an electric toothbrush to do, without all the faff of Bluetooth connectivity to an app and built-in LED displays. It's simple, it's straightforward and it includes a handy pressure sensor to ensure you're brushing correctly. Bargain.
Oral-B Pro 1 Electric Toothbrush: was £59.99 now £24.99 at Amazon
Oral-B’s pro oscillating electric toothbrush, complete with a bottle of 24-hour protection toothpaste, is at its best-ever price. This makes for a good Christmas gift or a way to get a cheap upgrade from a manual brush. View Deal
Don't miss: the best gaming laptop deal so far
Amazon is selling the Asus TUF F15 gaming laptop for just £549.99 – a £250 saving on the regular price of £799.99.
It's easily one of the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals we've seen so far, and this model is particularly good for kids and teenagers. So, if you're a parent thinking about buying your gamer offspring their first laptop, this deal is not to be missed.
With a large 15.6-inch screen with a high 144Hz refresh rate, plus an RTX 3050 graphics card, this is a great choice for anyone who wants to play fast-action games such as Fortnite or Overwatch.
ASUS TUF F15 Gaming Laptop: was £799.99 now £549.99 from Amazon
This Asus TUF gaming laptop has never before received quite this deep of a discount. For £250 off the asking price, you can get an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, 8GB of RAM and a solid 512GB of SSD storage. It’s the perfect blend of lightweight design, affordability and power, something that impressed us when we reviewed its slightly more powerful configurations.View Deal
The best TV to pair with your games console
Looking for a TV that will pair perfectly with your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X or Series S console? You’ve come to the right place, as we’ve dug up plenty of great sales on TVs with a range of extras perfect for next-gen console gaming.
One that stands out above everything, though, is the LG C2 OLED. It's the display that currently sits atop our list of the best TVs available right now – and you can get it for its lowest price yet at Amazon.
LG C2 48-inch OLED 4K TV: was £1,399 now £998 at Amazon
If you’re looking for an excellent deal on our favourite all-rounder LG OLED before Black Friday truly begins, you’ve found it. We didn’t rate the LG C2 five stars for nothing – the picture quality is exceptional. The C2 has a sleek minimal design, great connectivity, and brilliant gaming credentials with four HDMI 2.1 ports to take advantage of the new-gen consoles. The fact it comes in a 48-inch model means it won’t even take up too much room.View Deal
This full-frame bargain is the best Black Friday camera deal so far
Cameras now. One of our favourite full-frame cameras has just fallen to its lowest-ever price in the Black Friday sales. This Panasonic Lumix S5 price cut will likely be one of the bargains of this year's pre-Christmas sales for video creators.
We rate the Panasonic Lumix S5 as one of the best YouTube cameras you can buy, thanks to its blend of a compact form factor, 4K/60p 10-bit video skills, five-axis image stabilisation and an articulating screen. Its 24.2MP full-frame sensor also makes it a dab hand at stills, and its body is fully weather-proof, too.
Panasonic Lumix S5 with 50mm f/1.8 lens: was £2,099 now £1,299 at Amazon
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Lumix S5 with the excellent 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, which makes it a serious full-frame bargain. We rate the S5 as one of the best hybrid cameras around, particularly if you lean towards shooting video. It shoots 4K/60p 10-bit video and has 5-axis image stabilization to keep things steady. The 50mm f/1.8, meanwhile, is one of the best lenses of its kind.View Deal
£60 off a 5-star coffee machine!
The Moccamaster KBG Select Coffee Machine is that rarest of things in the TechRadar world – a product that received the full 5 stars in our review.
Why? Well, it has a striking design, is easy to use and (most importantly) makes a great cup of coffee. Pretty much everything you want from a coffee machine, then – and right now it's £60 off at Amazon.
Moccamaster KBG Select Coffee Machine: was £249 now £190 at Amazon
We recently awarded this hand-built European coffee maker a perfect review score, and Amazon has seen fit to discount it to a record-low price just in time for Black Friday. You’ll have to go for the orange model to get the saving, but we think the Moccamaster KBG actually looks better in a slightly more vibrant colour.View Deal
One of the best phone deals you'll see this week
The OnePlus Nord 2 is an excellent mid-range phone, with a 1080 x 2400 AMOLED screen, a triple-lens camera, 65W charging, 128GB of storage, 5G… the list goes on. You'd be getting a lot for your money at the usual £399, but this Amazon Black Friday deal pushes it down to just £262. Wow!
OnePlus Nord 2 5G (8GB/128GB, Grey Sierra): was £399 now £262 at Amazon
This early Black Friday OnePlus Nord 2 5G deal offers a huge £137 saving on the mid-range handset, bringing it down to a rather cheap price. For the money you’re getting a phone with fast 65W charging, along with performance and cameras which impressed us in our review. So while this isn’t one of the company’s top phones, it gives you a fairly high-end experience in a lot of ways.View Deal
Big Sonos savings are go!
This isn't an Amazon deal, but we're sharing it anyway because it's GREAT.
Although actually, it's not a deal – it's multiple deals on Sonos products from the official store. For instance, you could save £200 on the Sonos Arc soundbar, or save £150 on the Sonos Sub (Gen 3).
Want to go smaller? How about the Sonos One smart speaker for £159, saving you £40 or the Sonos Roam portable speaker with Bluetooth for £139, again saving you £40. Scroll down and choose your favourite.
Sonos Arc soundbar: was £899 now £699 at Sonos
This is a top deal chaps. Why? Because it’s a stonking £100 cheaper than we’ve ever seen it to date and it’s a sensational five-star soundbar with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus. Setup is incredibly simple too. This is Sonos, remember, the firm that wrote the book on multi-room audio for your home. Our advice? If you’ve been considering the Arc for a little while now, this is the moment… View Deal
Sonos Sub (Gen 3): was £749 now £599 at Sonos
Something about this design with the hole in the middle and those push-push drivers either side though, isn’t there? Also of serious note is the £150 saving, which is almost £100 cheaper than we’ve ever seen it across the big online retailers. Yes, there’s now a newer Sub Mini in Sonos land, but come on, where subwoofers are concerned we know which we’d rather invite into our lounge…
View Deal
Sonos Beam (Gen 2) soundbar: was £449 now £349 at Sonos
The second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar launched in October 2021 and while we have seen a few discounts to date, this is £50 cheaper than we’ve ever seen it. For your money you’re getting a compact, stylish soundbar with excellent integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem, and immersive virtual Atmos support. View Deal
Sonos One smart speaker: was £199 now £159 at Sonos
This is a good deal on a Sonos staple. Looking to get into Sonos’ wonderful world of multi-room audio? This is your gateway product, although it’s a veritable sonic delight in its own right and with no other speakers to work with too. We’ve briefly seen it dip to a few pounds cheaper in the past (£147 at Amazon, in January 2020 to be precise) but we can’t promise that’ll happen this Black Friday… or ever, given this talented speaker’s indomitable popularity…
View Deal
Sonos One SL smart speaker: was £179 now £139 at Sonos
The same excellent little smart speaker, but why pay for voice assistant smarts if you don’t want them – or you’ve already got a Sonos One and this one can be the ‘slave’ to the master, as it were? We’ve seen it £2 cheaper than this but no more – and considering how ubiquitous this excellent-sounding has become since then, this is a top price. View Deal
Sonos Roam portable speaker: was £179 now £139 at Sonos
When Sonos makes a truly portable speaker that not only plays nice with your multi-room audio setup but also brings Bluetooth the party, you know you’re onto a winner. And although it might have seemed a little steep at its regular RRP, this money is far more palatable – and it’s never been as cheap as this to date. View Deal
Sonos Roam SL portable speaker: was £159 now £119 at Sonos
As the One SL is to the One, Roam SL is to the Roam: the same solution (ie a portable Bluetooth and wi-fi enabled speaker) but no mics and thus no built-in voice assistant support, although it’ll tag along if you’ve got voice control elsewhere in your Sonos setup. And this £40 saving is a huge discount; we’ve never seen it quite so affordable before. View Deal
Wait… is it Black Friday today?
With so many retailers launching their official Black Friday sales today you could be forgiven in thinking we're at the big day itself today.
Just to clear things up – Black Friday officially takes place next Friday on November 25th. It's always the day after Thanksgiving in the US, for the record.
Amazon has simply launched the first wave of its sale today and it'll be adding to these listings throughout the next week or so.
Basically, a lot of retailers tend to offer up their sales early these days for various reasons, although it's mostly because they want to give more time for both shoppers and delivery windows. Every year it seems to kick off earlier (much like Christmas preperations….)
One very, very cheap premium laptop
I know a 'cheap' premium laptop sounds like an oxymoron but here's an amazing price cut on the Razer Book 13 in today's Amazon Black Friday deals that's well worth checking out:
Razer Book 13: £1,599.99 £669 at Amazon
An almost unbelievable deal on Razer’s compact productivity laptop, with the bright ‘Quartz’ colour scheme making it perfect for any pink-lovers in your life. The Razer Book 13 isn’t a gaming machine like Razer’s Blade series – it’s a lightweight but super-speedy laptop with Windows 11, perfect for school or office work. At almost £1000 off the retail price, this is by far the best deal the Book 13 has ever seen.View Deal
Firstly – let's address the elephant in the room. Yes, it's pink. This may not appeal to some, but this is a fantastic deal on the 512GB model. If you'd prefer grey, then you can also get the 256GB model for £629 (was £816), just know that it's not as good of a deal as the above Pink version.
Deals on Razer laptops aren't that rare at this time of the year, but it's very unusual to see one in the sub-£1,000 range and even rarer on the productivity-focused models. Specs-wise, the Razer Book 13 is going to outperform most Dell XPS or HP Spectre 13 rivals at this price point – and depending on your tastes – look much better doing it, too.
In our original review, we marveled at the Razer Book 13's speedy performance, near-flawless physical design, and impressive speakers. Its aluminum-carved chassis is immediately reminiscent of the Apple MacBook Air. In short, it's a real bargain at this price and well worth the cash if you have a bit to spend.
PS5 gamers! It's time to stock up on your subscriptions
Discounts on actual consoles may be thin on the ground but Black Friday is a great time to top up your PlayStation Plus subscription. Right now, there are savings across the board that could save you some serious cash in the long run:
PlayStation Plus Essential: was £50 now £38 at Amazon
Here’s a 25% saving on the basic PlayStation Plus Essential membership. This comes with exactly the same benefits as the old version, including access to online multiplayer, free games each month, cloud saves, and more.View Deal
PlayStation Plus Extra: was £84 now £63 at Amazon
The same 25% saving has been applied to the new middle-tier membership for Sony’s gaming subscription service on PS5 and PS4. Added benefits on this level include access to a revolving games catalogue which includes up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games, featuring many big first-party releases such as Demon’s Souls and Death Stranding.View Deal
PlayStation Plus Premium: was £100 now £75 at Amazon
And there’s also 25% off the top PlayStation Plus Premium membership. This pricey plan includes everything from the previous two tiers (online multiplayer, free games each month, cloud saves, PS4/PS5 games catalogue) but also adds access to a selection of PlayStation Classics from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP consoles. Good if you want to relive some iconic titles from gaming’s past like Syphon Filter and Ape Escape.View Deal

Watching the world cup?
We've already featured today's awesome Amazon Black Friday deal on the LG C2 but obviously not everyone can afford to dish out a grand on a TV – not least with today's economic climate. Here's a great option if you're looking for something to make those games really shine but don't want to break the bank:
TCL 55-inch C635K series 4K QLED TV: was £499 now £379.00 at Amazon
With Amazon taking £120 off this already inexpensive 55-inch QLED TV, it’s now a better deal than ever. For the money, you get not just quantum dots for enhanced color, but Dolby Vision and HDR10+ high dynamic range support. An Onkyo audio system delivers Dolby Atmos sound, and everything is run on the Android TV smart interface for streaming.View Deal
Now, it's still a little on the pricey end, but hear us out. It's extremely rare to find a decently sized QLED display in the sub-£400 range and this TCL is absolutely packed to the brim with useful features. For the price, you're going to get an incredibly bright and vivid picture with this one, definitely more so than the LED displays you'll find in the cheaper price brackets.
Stocking filler gift ideas #1
A lot of people tend to use Black Friday as chance to bag a discount on that big piece of tech they've had their eye on all year. I would, however, say it's just as useful, if not even more useful if you're just looking for a few small gifts for friends and family over Christmas.
Amazon in particular really nails this type of thing so I'm going to post a few ideas if you're thinking about adding some cheap tech-related gifts to your checkout. First up:
Echo Dot (4th Gen): was £49.99 now £19.99 at Amazon
Amazon’s latest generation Echo Dot smart speaker is back on sale with a £30 saving – that makes it the cheapest we’ve seen it. In our Echo Dot review, we found it to be reasonably loud and a cheap way to get some smart home tech. You can use it to control your smart home setup, as well as play music, check the weather, set timers, and more, all with simple voice commands.View Deal
So, this one's a real Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day classic – the diminutive but mighty Echo Dot. This particular listing is for the latest fourth-generation device, which is matching its lowest-ever price at the retailer right now.
The Echo Dot might not exactly be the most exciting or fancy device in Amazon's own range of smart home tech, but it's arguably the most useful. It's small, cheap, and can basically sit in any room of your house and provide access to handy commands or functions. It's basically designed to cheap enough to buy in multiples but one is more than enough if you want to kick-start your smart home setup.
For example, just one Echo Dot in your kitchen is enough to control a whole household's worth of smart home devices. Let's say you're cooking the turkey in the kitchen, you can set alarms, control any smart bulbs, or even change the channel on the TV in the living room, all from one device. This is obviously just one example and there are many applications for these useful little devices.

Here's another tech-related stocking filler that's going to be a real safe bet. If your friends or relatives don't have an electric toothbrush already, Amazon's Black Friday sale has some fantastic cheaper options currently:
Oral-B Pro 1 Electric Toothbrush: was £59.99 now £24.99 at Amazon
Oral-B’s pro oscillating electric toothbrush, complete with a bottle of 24-hour protection toothpaste, at its best-ever price. This makes for a good Christmas gift or a way to get a cheap upgrade from a manual brush. View Deal
Electric toothbrushes are one of those things where you can spend a bundle to get a few bells and whistles, but usually the cheaper models suffice.
One thing we always keep an eye out for is a pressure sensor – which is exactly what this Oral-B Pro 1 comes with. It's not going to have the longest charge, or give you prompts or anything fancy like that but it is going to tell you if you're brushing too hard, which is the main issue most people have with their teeth.
Now, if you want to get really serious about your oral health this Black Friday, we'd also recommend checking out today's discount on the excellent Waterpik:
Waterpik Nano Water Flosser: was £82.00 Now £39.99 at Amazon
Save more than half price on this small, convenient Waterpik jet flosser. Waterpik is the leading brand when it comes to dislodging food between your teeth with a tiny hose, and this portable version with a smaller reservoir can be stashed away in any old cupboard rather than remaining a permanent sinkside fixture. View Deal
The saving's not as good here, but the WaterPik is a super popular device that's really handy to have alongside your toothbrush. It's an effective and easy way to efficiently floss your teeth – much more so than the usual manual method.
Stocking filler gift ideas #3
I feel like cheap wireless earbuds are something that's always handy to have, either as a backup or an everyday pair that you don't mind losing. Here's a listing we've found in the Amazon Black Friday deals on one of our favourite budget models:
JLab Go Air Pop: was £24 now £17.99 at Amazon
These fantastic little true wireless earbuds were a stone-cold steal when we first reviewed them. Now, thanks to the early Black Friday deals at Amazon, you can save an extra 10% on these excellent affordable and comfortable buds. They boast Bluetooth 5.1, wearer-detection, three effective EQ profiles, on-ear volume control, and a whopping 32-hour battery life. Bargain.View Deal
For sheer bang for the buck, you're not going to get a better pair of wireless earbuds than the JLab Go Air Pop at this price point. Sure, they won't challenge the AirPods Pro for sound quality and they lack any noise cancellation, but they're comfortable, reliable, and have plenty of battery life.
At this price, they're basically a steal and a great buy as either a backup or a thoughtful gift for your relative who's still walking around with those old-school wired headphones still.
Enough of the UK deals already! What's happening in the US?
So far, we've been covering the UK side of things but it's worth noting that Amazon US is also launching a fresh wave of early Black Friday deals today. We'll be posting our favourite listings alongside the UK ones right here as people start to wake up over on that side of the pond. Stay tuned!
This morning's best Amazon Black Friday deals in the US
Good morning if you're just joining us! We've been here covering the UK Amazon sale for a few hours but it's now time to start turning our eyes to the other side of the pond. From now on, we'll be covering both territories with even more live updates and recommendations. To kick us off, here's a roundup of our favorite Amazon deals in the US right now:
1. Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker: was $49.99 now $14.99 at Amazon
This early black Friday deal from Amazon slashes the best-selling Echo Dot to just $14.99 – the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The best-selling smart speaker can play music, answer questions, check the weather and control your new smart bulb – all for under $15.View Deal
2. Apple AirPods Pro 2: $249 $229 at Amazon
Amazon’s early Black Friday deals include the all-new AirPods Pro down to $229 – the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Apple’s premium earbuds include improved audio quality and noise cancellation and include a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life. As of right now, the AirPods are in stock and ready to ship, so you should grab this deal now before they sell out.View Deal
3. Apple Watch 8 (GPS, 41mm): was $399 now $349 at Amazon
This is only the second time we’ve seen the latest Apple Watch 8 discounted at Amazon. The smartwatch has only been available for less than two months, but you can already save $50 in this early Black Friday deal. Updates are incremental compared to the previous version but do include an upgraded S8 processor, all-day 18-hour battery life, and a suite of new health and fitness functions thanks to watchOS 9.View Deal
4. Ninja AF101 Air Fryer: $129.99 $89.95 at Amazon
Air fryers are always popular during the Black Friday deals event, and Amazon has this best-selling Ninja model on sale for $89.95. The four-quart air fryer has over 39,000 positive reviews on Amazon and can not only air fry but crisp, roast, reheat, and dehydrates food for quick and easy meals.View Deal
5. Ring Video Doorbell: was $99.95 now $59.99 at Amazon
Another Black Friday best-seller is the Ring Video Doorbell, on sale for just $59.99 at Amazon – the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The smart doorbell features advanced motion detection and allows you to see, hear and speak to anyone from your phone or computer and works with Amazon Alexa to send alerts to your Echo devices.View Deal
The best console deal on Amazon US
Yeah, we know – you really want that PS5, but you know what? You just ain't gonna find a discount on one this Black Friday buddy. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
On the plus side, the retailer is offering a really, really great discount right now on the Xbox Series S, check it out:
Xbox Series S: was $299.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
Here’s a saving of $50 on the Xbox Series S for Black Friday, which brings it down to the cheapest price ever. Microsoft’s cheaper current generation console is not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but with this deal, it’s $250 less and still capable of playing all the same games in 1440p at 120fps. A good option if you want to game on a budget.View Deal
Sure, it's not the highest-end device but it's an absolute bargain at this price. Pair this one up with a decently sized TV capable of 120Hz and you'll be off to a great start for next-gen gaming. We'll likely be posting some games recommendations later, so stay tuned for those.
Get a Sony Dolby Atmos soundbar
We've already mentioned that the Sonos Arc is a great deal today in the UK, but if you want a cheaper alternative that's still an all-in-one soundbar and includes Dolby Atmos support, the Sony HT-A3000 is ideal – and it's got deals in both the US and UK right now!
Today's best UK deal
Sony HT-A3000 Dolby Atmos soundbar: was £599 now £499 at Amazon
Looking for a compact single-box soundbar without a separate subwoofer? This Dolby Atmos bar is suitable for TVs between 58 inches and 65 inches, and features 3.1 channels of sound. That means it doesn’t have ‘true’ Dolby Atmos, but Sony’s audio processing is the best in the world for adding ‘virtual’ height and width, and it’s stunningly effective. This soundbar was only released a couple of months ago, so any discount is impressive. You get a lot of power and precision for a mid-range price.View Deal
Today's best US deal
Sony HT-A3000 Dolby Atmos soundbar: was $699 now $498 at Amazon
Perfect for mid-size TVs between 58 inches and 65 inches, this delivers 3.1 channels of sound with virtual Dolby Atmos to add height and width. Sony is the best as this kind of thing, and the end result sounds much better than most competitors. This is a great-sounding soundbar for the price – especially if you don’t want a big separate subwoofer taking up space.View Deal
If you want something bigger and beefier, or perhaps even smaller and cheaper, be sure to check out our full guide to the best Black Friday soundbar deals – with great offers on Sonos, Sony, Samsung, LG and more.
OK, so maybe you've joined us purely to spend a few dollars (or pounds) during the Black Friday shenanigans. Maybe you came here for a gander, rather than a huge investment – a good time rather than a long time, if you will. And that's just fine!
What we've got here is a gorgeous little JBL Bluetooth speaker. Yes, it sort of looks like a soap on a rope, but it's the best-sounding bar of soap you'll ever hear and that's a TechRadar promise!
Right now, it's down to half-price in the US, or close to as low as we've ever seen it in the UK.
The best US cheap Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deal
JBL Go3 Bluetooth speaker: was $49.95 now $24.95 at Amazon
If your Black Friday wish is for a cheap, no-nonsense, waterproof stocking-filler of a Bluetooth speaker that’ll provide JBL-quality sound for little money, you’ve just found it. It’s rugged, it sounds far bigger than it looks and now, it’s cheaper than we’ve ever seen it! As long as the five-hour battery doesn’t bother you, this is a great, inexpensive option for super-portable music. View Deal
The best UK cheap Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deal live now
JBL Go3 Bluetooth speaker: was £34.99 now £29.99 at Amazon
What if your sole Black Friday wish is for a cheap, no-nonsense, water- and dust-proof Bluetooth speaker that’ll fit in your pocket and provide JBL-quality sound for little money? Well, you’ve just found it. It’s rugged, its little stretchy loop is supremely useful and now, it’s on sale! As long as the five-hour battery doesn’t bother you, this is a great shout for affordable portable music with friends. View Deal
In our opinion, it's little money well spent.
Not quite the stocking-filler or Secret Santa gift you were looking for? It's OK. Our Black Friday wireless earbuds deals has some top savings on similar boxes of sonic deliverance – only these go in your ears, rather than on the table.
Lastly, always always remember to enjoy good-quality music.
Oh we love a 'raspberry mousse' lead image for Black Friday, don't we? (Or at least, the TechRadar writer who'll be with you for the next hour or so does…)
But this deal is, ahem, a sweet treat indeed, (sorry) because it concerns the May 2022-issue top-tier class leading wireless over-ear headphones from Sony. And in both the UK and the US, it's live now at Amazon.
The UK Black Friday headphones deal of 2022
The US headphones deal of Black Friday 2022
Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ears: was $400 now $348 at Amazon
What you need to know: the older XM4 were outstanding, the XM3 before it were excellent, and Sony’s latest XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with 13% off! Have we seen them this cheap before? No, we have not – because these cans only launched in May 2022. Our advice? The XM5 are quite simply the newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup, so if that sounds like something you or your nearest and dearest would love, go for it. View Deal
A quick glance at our in-depth, full-fat review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 will tell you everything you need to know about 'em. You don't even need to read it – just gaze upon those five sweet stars.
They're still not the cheapest option on the market of course – but for this money, they're the best, hands down.
Want a slightly more wallet-friendly option? Our best Black Friday headphones deals is the place for you, and all of the deals are live now. (…Ah, you're most welcome. Happy Black Friday to you too.)
Let's talk about air fryers – everyone's doing it. They're a huge high-ticket item for Black Friday and arguably the most-wanted item this holiday season (there's a cost-of-living crisis on, after all).
And this particular missive isn't a deal, exactly, because this thing is simply too popular for that. To use a UK idiom, it's selling like hot cakes, even for more than the RRP. But you can find it below!
Ninja air fryer back in stock, UK
Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer: £249.99 at Amazon
It’s back in stock! This thing (the Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer 9.6l to give it its full title) sells out as quick as retailers can stock it, so now is the right time to buy! It is 25% larger than the popular Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer 7.6l – and here’s the best bit, it is also cheaper at the minute. To clarify: resale prices of the sold-out 7.6l model are over £300, which makes the 9.6l model £50 cheaper. Bargain! View Deal
Don't hang about on this one, people.
This is our favourite and while it's come back in stock now, that fact is changing with every word we type…
So here it is, and here is our roundup of the best Black Friday air-fryer deals in case you missed out by the time you click through.
We finally gave up mousse-color backgrounds and went for a citrus yellow to show off this particular JBL winner at its best. Like it? Us too.
How about a Black Friday deal on a Bluetooth speaker that's more bottle-of-wine than bar-of-soap sized? Well, in the US you're in luck, because this glorious option (the JBL Flip 5) is a now whacking great 46% off at Amazon.
JBL Flip 5 now 46% off for Black Friday (US)
JBL Flip 5: was $129.95 now $69.95 at Amazon
This is great PartyBoost-enabled Bluetooth belter from JBL, which means it can be daisy-chained up with other JBL newer speakers to beef up the sound. But even alone, this thing boasts excellent bass clout given it’s slightly smaller than a bottle of wine. It has recently been superseded by the Flip 6, but as long as you’re OK with that, this 46% saving is the lowest we’ve ever seen it priced. Bargain! View Deal
In our full-on Flip 5 review, we praised the speaker's “engaging, entertaining sound” and the fact that as a PartyBoost enabled speaker, you can hook them up wirelessly to really get the party started.
Yes, it has a younger sibling, namely the JBL Flip 6, but what of it? It's a little sonic wonder in its own right irrespective of age (and it only launched in the summer of 2019, which isn't that long ago) and we think it's the Bluetooth speaker deal many people are sleeping on.
So don't be one of them! Stay with us, keep reading – oh, and check out the best Sonos Black Friday deals if you want to save on an integrated multi-room audio experience for your home.
OK so they're not the excellent WF-1000XM4 (aka Sony's top-tier earbuds). But they are £49, and they do still bear that trusted, beloved Sony moniker.
And also, they sound really good for this money. No, really. And also, with an IPX4 rating, they'll work for the gym easy.
Sony WF-C500 Black Friday deal (UK)
Our extensive review (complete with a highly-commended 4.5 stars out of 5, thank you very much) of these little Sony Bluetooth earbuds is the place to go if you need any further convincing, but honestly, at £49 they're an ideal gift for the audio-lover in your life.
Our advice? If it's not these, check out the best Black Friday earbuds deals live now. But this is absolutely the cheapest you'll pay for buds from a trusted name in audio…
Samsung Galaxy tablets get a UK price cut
If you don't fancy (or can't afford) an iPad, and don't want to drop down to the cheaper and less premium Amazon Fire Tablets, Samsung's Galaxy Tabs are among the best tablets you can buy. And now they've all had a nice price cut at Amazon UK for Black Friday.
There are huge discounts on some of them – for instance the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is up to £350 off, while the Galaxy Tab S8+ gets a £120 reduction – and the range is wide enough that there should be something for everyone here.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: up to £350 off
Samsung’s best tablets are on sale at Amazon, including this amazing deal on the biggest, baddest of them all, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on Samsung superpowered, 14.6-inch Android tablet. Unlike with the iPad, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra includes the S Pen. It may be more than most folks need, but if you want a tablet that can do everything, this is the one to buy.
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 512GB: £1399 £350 off
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 128GB: £999 £150 offView Deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+: £120 off
Samsung’s best tablets are on sale at Amazon, including this amazing deal on the mid-range Galaxy Tab S8+. The Tab S8+ is a happy middle between the bigger Tab S8 Ultra and the Tab S8, and it gets an AMOLED display that makes a huge difference over the base model tablet. At 12.4-inches, this tablet competes directly with the iPad Pro and offers great value, with an included S Pen. This Amazon price is the lowest we’ve seen, and if you buy it in Pink Gold, you can get cellular connectivity and more storage for the same price as the Wi-Fi model.
Galaxy Tab S8+ 256GB (Wi-Fi): £899 £779
Galaxy Tab S8+ 256GB (5G, Pink Gold): £899 £779
Galaxy Tab S8+ 128GB (5G): £999 £879View Deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: £100 off
Samsung’s best tablets are on sale at Amazon, including this deal on the base model Galaxy Tab S8. The Tab S8 features an 11-inch display, and works with the included S Pen, a nice addition when Apple charges extra for a pen. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on Samsung’s premiere tablet family. We prefer the upgraded Galaxy Tab S8+ and S8 Ultra for the better AMOLED display, but the Galaxy Tab S8 is still a winning tablet.
Galaxy Tab S8 128GB (Wi-Fi): £649 £549
Galaxy Tab S8 256GB (Wi-Fi, Pink Gold): £699 £599
Galaxy Tab S8 256GB (5G): £849 £749View Deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE: £559, £549 at Amazon
Save £100
The Galaxy Tab S7 Fan Edition (FE) gives you a big screen tablet experience and premium features like pen support. Plus, unlike Apple iPad, Samsung includes an S Pen with the Tab S7 FE. The tablet has a nice big battery and plenty of features, plus it looks slick if you pick the right color. Even though it lacks the OLED display of Samsung’s fanciest Galaxy Tab devices, it’s still an excellent Android tablet, and this Amazon deal offers the lowest price we’ve seen.
View Deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8: £219, £159 at Amazon
Save £60
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 makes for a fine bargain tablet that doesn’t have a cheap look and feel. The metal shell feels sleek and modern, and the screen is nice and large, though it isn’t the fanciest screen you’ll find on a Samsung tablet. This deal at Amazon makes the Galaxy Tab A8 a great buy, and the tablet is ready to be locked down if you want to hand it over to your kids. Both the Wi-FI and the 5G connected version get the same price cut. View Deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite: £149, £119 at Amazon
Save £30
Even Samsung’s cheapest tablet gets a price cut during Amazon’s Black Friday tablet deals. The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a no-frills tablet that can handle all of your favorite Android-based streaming services and browsing needs. It won’t work with Samsung’s S Pen like the fancier tablets, but it’s a compact tablet that looks better than you’d expect from such a bargain device. Amazon is offering the same discount on Wi-Fi and LTE-connected tablets. View Deal
iPads are also getting price cuts
If you do want to go the iPadOS route rather than Android, there are plenty of great Amazon Black Friday deals available for you.
For instance, right now the iPad 10.2 (2021), iPad mini (2021) and iPad Air 2022 are all at record (or record-equalling) prices. And with a week still to go before Black Friday officially arrives, they could yet drop lower.
Apple iPad 10.2 2021 (64GB): was $329 now $269 at Amazon
Save $30 – Amazon’s Black Friday deals have Apple’s entry-level iPad on sale for $269. While it’s not the speediest tablet in the range, a decent screen, quality design, and relatively speedy chip make this the iPad that suits most people’s needs the best. For streaming, shopping, and doing a few light work tasks, it’s a great choice, and today’s deal equals it’s record-low price.View Deal
Apple iPad Mini (2021): was $499 now $399 at Amazon
Amazon has the 2021 iPad mini back down to a record-low price of $399. You’re getting a powerful A15 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, and an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, making this iPad mini a great choice if you’re looking for a smaller tablet with premium features. This early Black Friday deal is a fantastic buy if you’re looking for a smaller tablet that still packs a fully premium specs sheet.View Deal
Apple iPad Air 2022 (64GB): was $599 now $519 at Amazon
This early Black Friday Apple deal from Amazon has the 2022 iPad Air on sale for $519. That’s a massive $80 discount and the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The iPad Air 5 packs a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple’s powerful M1 chip, and provides an all-day battery life.View Deal
A great upgrade for your Nintendo Switch
As any Nintendo Switch owners know, 32GB of storage doesn't go very far. Fortunately, SanDisk has slashed the prices of a couple of its Switch-compatible microSDXC cards right now on Amazon, giving you plenty of space for the best Switch games.
For instance, you can pick up a SanDisk 400GB microSDXC card on Amazon for just $37.99, nearly half the usual price of $69.99. And if you want the enormous 1TB microSD card, that's down to $122.85 from $199.99. But good luck filling that one!
SanDisk 400GB microSDXC card: was $70 now $38 at Amazon
400GB is a fantastic amount of extra storage for your Nintendo Switch, especially considering the base model ships with a paltry 32GB. If you like to download the best Nintendo Switch games as they launch, then SanDisk’s range of cards will be your best friend.View Deal
SanDisk 1TB microSDXC card: was $200 now $122.85 at Amazon
Looking for something larger? This 1TB card will go a long way on your Nintendo Switch, considering most of its games don’t take up as much storage as on competing hardware.View Deal
Black Friday deals on Amazon Fire tablets, prices starting at just $34.99
Amazon's early Black Friday sale includes record-low prices on its own devices, like the best-selling Fire tablet lineup. Prices start at just $34.99, and you can save on the whole lineup, from the ultra-affordable Fire 7 tablet to the latest Fire HD 10 tablet.
Amazon's Fire tablets allow you to watch your favorite movies and TV shows from apps like Netflix, Hulu, and more, or you can cozy up with a new book from millions of eBook options. You're also getting up to 12 hours of battery life and hands-free control with Amazon Alexa.
Amazon Fire 7 tablet (16GB): was $49.99 now $34.99 at Amazon
The cheapest Fire tablet deal, Amazon’s Black Friday device deals include the 2022 Fire 7 on sale for just $39.99 – a new record-low. The best-selling tablet features a seven-inch display, 16GB of RAM, and up to seven hours of battery life.View Deal
Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet (32GB): was $89.99 now $44.99 at Amazon
Black Friday device deals also include the 2020 Fire HD 8 tablet that’s on sale for $44.99. That’s a massive $45 discount and the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the 8-inch HD display tablet that provides 12 hours of battery life and works with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control.View Deal
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet (2021): was $149.99 now $74.99 at Amazon
Amazon’s Black Friday sale has the 2021 Fire HD 10 tablet on sale for a record-low price of $74.99. The 10-inch tablet packs a powerful octa-core processor and 50% more RAM than the previous generation.

Get the best-selling Echo Dot on sale for just $14.99 – the lowest price ever
A great stocking stuffer idea, Amazon's Black Friday deals include the 3rd generation smart speaker on sale for just $14.99 (was $49.99). That's the lowest price we've ever seen and an incredible deal for feature-packed smart speaker.
Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker: was $49.99 now $14.99 at Amazon
This early black Friday deal from Amazon slashes the best-selling Echo Dot to just $14.99 – the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The best-selling smart speaker can play music, answer questions, check the weather and control your new smart bulb – all for under $15.View Deal
Get our top-rated TV picks from Samsung at huge savings
We don't often see huge discounts on our top-of-the-line, videophile pleasing television picks from our list of the best TV sets you can buy. Right now, if you want to take the plunge into the best possible image quality, Amazon has deals up to 40% on the best TVs, including 40% off the Samsung S95B OLED TV.
The Samsung S95B brings Samsung TV into the OLED age, which means you'll see colors that pop with vibrancy and deep, dark black areas that bring out the contrast. Our favorite TVs are OLED, and this deal on the 65-inch Samsung model brings it to the lowest price we've seen.
Samsung S95B (65-inch): Was $2997.99 Now: $1797.99
Save $1,200
The Samsung S95B is no ordinary OLED. It’s a quantum dot OLED, which delivers even better brightness than a typical OLED panel. The picture’s so good that we’re almost willing to overlook Samsung’s redesigned smart TV interface, which feels very much like a backwards step. It’s a relatively minor flaw in a very impressive TV that outperforms many rival OLED displays. This Amazon deal brings it to the lowest price we’ve seen on the 65-inch model.
Replace the AirPods you definitely lost for the lowest price
Apple AirPods are great, which is probably why we lose so many of them. We're not here to judge. We're here to suggest picking up a new pair of Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) for $89.99 on Black Friday, because for under $100 that loss stings just a bit less.
If you sometimes lose your gear on purpose as an excuse to upgrade, Amazon also has deals on the best AirPods you can buy, including the AirPods Pro 2 for $229.
Or, if you want a pair of AirPods you are sure to never lose, spring for the AirPods Max over-ear headphones. The AirPods Max are $100 off right now, a rare price cut for Apple's biggest cans.
AirPods Pro 2: $249 $229 at Amazon
Our favorite Black Friday Apple deal is the best-selling AirPods Pro 2 on sale for $229 – just $6 more than the record-low price we saw during Prime Day and the best deal you can find right now. Apple’s all-new earbuds include improved audio quality and noise cancellation and include a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life.View Deal
Apple AirPods Pro (1st Gen): $169.99 $159 at Amazon
This Black Friday Apple deal is a return to the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the AirPods Pro, which offer solid noise cancellation, adjustable silicone ear tips, and a handy charging case. The second-generation AirPods launched earlier this year with a number of upgrades, but they’re almost $100 more expensive, so this is a more affordable way to get some of Apple’s premium earbuds.View Deal
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds: $159 $89.99 at Amazon
Amazon’s Black Friday deals include the best-selling Apple AirPods 2 on sale for $89.99. While we’ve seen the 2nd generation AirPods drop to $79 once before, this is the best deal you can find right now and still a great price for a pair of premium wireless earbuds. View Deal
AirPods Max: $549 $449 at Amazon
Apple’s over-ear headphones are an audio tour de force, delivering huge sound that’s natural and all-encompassing, thanks partly to the highly effective noise cancellation. This is a solid discount, though not spectacular – on very rare occasions, they’ve dropped as low as $349, but it’s hard to say if that will happen again this year.View Deal
£16 Echo Dot, £22 Fire TV Stick, £31 Fire Tablet and more!
Good morning, and welcome back to our Amazon Black Friday deals live blog. With most of our US-based readers probably asleep right now, let's start with some UK deals on Amazon's own devices.
Yes, Amazon has slashed the prices on many of its own devices, just as it does every year. That means you can pick up everything from an Echo Dot to a Fire Tablet to a Kindle for a lot less than usual.
The best deals include an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) for £16.99, a Fire TV Stick for £22.99, a Fire Tablet 7 for £31.99 and a Kindle Paperwhite for £94.99.
Some of these devices have been cheaper before, but not by much and it's worth noting that both the Fire 7 and Paperwhite are now at record low prices.
Echo Dot (3rd Gen): was £39.99 now £16.99 at Amazon
Amazon’s Black Friday sale slashes the Echo Dot to £16.99 – that’s back down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The best-selling smart speaker can play music, answer questions, check the weather and control connected smart devices around the home such as lighting and heating. It’s an older model but functions almost identically to the more modern design.View Deal
Echo Dot (5th Gen): was £54.99 now £26.99 at Amazon
The latest generation Echo Dot smart speaker offers a step up in audio quality to deliver clearer vocals, more powerful bass and a more vibrant sound overall. Apart from that, it’s capable of exactly the same features as previous models, so it’s up to you whether it’s worth paying the extra. It is the first time the brand-new Echo Dot has been on sale since launch, though, so it’s a rare deal.View Deal
Fire TV Stick: was £39.99 now £22.99 at Amazon
This is a solid price for the standard Amazon Fire TV Stick for Black Friday. Today’s deal brings it to within £3 of the cheapest price ever, so it’s a reasonable offer if you missed out on the discount over Prime Day.

The best tablet for kids at a great price
Sticking with Amazon devices for a bit, here are some UK deals on Fire Kids tablets.
As the proud owner of two children myself, I've used and tested dozens of these over the years, and have no hesitation in recommended them for parents who want a cheap, durable and safe device for their little ones.
Not only are they cheap (especially right now), but they come with a big, bright bumper that protects them from drops plus a two-year guarantee for if your child still manages to damage it. I've used that guarantee and Amazon did indeed swap the broken tablet for a new one, no questions asked. You also get a year of Amazon Kids+ content, including apps, games and books that are suitable for the age range you select.
The prices below aren't quite the lowest we've ever seen, but they're close – and may well not drop any lower this year.
