If you need fresh water on the go, the Brita stainless steel water filter bottle is on sale for as low as $16.15.

If you use relaxing sounds to help you fall asleep, you’ll be wowed by the technology of the Bose Sleepbuds II. Normally listed for $249, you can get these wireless headphones for $199 right now thanks to a 20% discount. When we tested the Sleepbuds II, we were impressed with how well the buds stayed put in our tester’s ears overnight, and the battery life of around nine hours. While we wished we could access other forms of relaxing audio like sleep stories and guided meditations, users can find 39 white noise sounds through the Bose mobile app.

3. Up to $48 off: This popular streaming service
If you want to test out one of the best music streaming apps we’ve ever tried, you can also add another streaming service in your pocket for free! Right now, Amazon is offering up to six months of free access to Disney+ through its Amazon Music Unlimited service. New subscribers to AMU get six months of the House of Mouse’s media library, while current subscribers get three months free. That means you can access Amazon Music Unlimited’s library of 75 million songs ad-free one minute and rewatch The Nightmare Before Christmas the next. The six-month bundle of Amazon and Disney’s streaming apps together would normally run shoppers $107.88 (or $95.88 for Amazon Prime members), but this offer lets new subscribers cut that price down to $59.94 (or $47.94 for Prime members).

5. Up to 70% off: These Amazon devices
Amazon makes some of the most popular and highest-rated pieces of tech on the market and today, you can save big on select devices. For instance, you can get the second-generation Echo Buds for 42% off at $69.99. Amazon’s latest earbuds are the best affordable headphones we’ve ever tried, having impressed us with their comfortable feel and the full active noise cancelation that blocked out unwanted surrounding sounds. For the streaming fans, there’s the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for 36% off at $34.99. The 4K MAX has the same excellent remote and multi-service compatibility as the older Fire Stick 4K (one of our favorite streaming devices) but promises faster app starts and smoother navigation through its interface. You can even get the latest Echo Show 5 for $44.99—nearly half off its $84.99 list price. The second-generation model of Amazon’s smart home hub impressed us (especially at its current price) with an improved built-in camera for clearer video calls and compact design.

When we tested the 5-Series, we were impressed with its wide color range and decent overall contrast (especially for a TV in its price range), not to mention the built-in Roku technology from the makers of our favorite streaming device. Those looking to upgrade the sound of their TVs can get an Alto 8i Dolby Atmos soundbar for $129. Normally listed for $179.99, this 39.4-inch device features built-in subwoofers and Bluetooth technology that lets you get richer sound from movies and music.

2. iRobot Roomba i3+ with Replacement Parts
The iRobot Roomba i3+ is usually priced at $599.99 on its own but today, you can get the vacuum with authentic replacement parts included for $443.99 thanks to a 32% discount. That means you can get this powerful and hands-free appliance (already super affordable on its own) for less than what the i3+ (now $399) normally costs on its own and get three extra edge sweeping brushes, three extra filters and two multi-surface rubber brushes as well. This robot vacuum is our favorite affordable Roomba for its self-emptying feature that keeps dirt collected in the accompanying dirt tower. In our testing, we found the i3+ picked up an average of 11 grams of dirt per run, which is on par with our favorite robot vacuum, the iRobot Roomba i7+ ($549.99).

When is Amazon Black Friday 2021?
Amazon Black Friday 2021 deals are in full swing. This year, Amazon kicked off its holiday shopping season earlier than ever. The popular online retailer announced its first wave of Black Friday sales on October 4, with markdowns across all categories. On November 15, the brand announced it will host a 48-hour sale starting at 12:01 a.m. PST on Thursday, November 25. Amazon also announced a list of its most-loved gifts available right now. We expect to see even deeper discounts on everything from kitchen essentials and electronics to toys and fashion pieces in the coming weeks.
What are the best deals from the Amazon Black Friday 2021 sale?
To date, we've seen massive Amazon Black Friday deals on air fryers, headphones, home goods and more—including tons of products from some of our favorite brands, like Apple, KitchenAid, Instant Pot, Sony, Bose, iRobot and Shark.
Every day Amazon adds even more sales to their lineup of Black Friday 2021 deals. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back frequently to scoop the hottest Amazon discounts on must-have items this holiday season.
Are Amazon Black Friday sales available online?
Yes. Amazon Black Friday sales are exclusively available online.
What's the difference between Amazon Black Friday deals and Amazon Cyber Monday deals?
With Amazon Black Friday deals already here, the early holiday sales double as both Black Friday discounts and pre-Cyber Monday deals. While, technically, Amazon Cyber Monday deals roll out as soon as Black Friday ends on November 26, we expect to see significant overlap in Amazon's roundup of Black Friday and Cyber Monday markdowns. Both waves of holiday deals will be exclusively available online, so be sure to secure your Amazon Prime membership ahead of time to enjoy fast and free shipping.
Does Amazon have special Black Friday deals for Amazon Prime members?
Yes. During the holiday shopping season, Amazon Prime members have early access to select holiday deals and can even earn up to 25% back on select Amazon purchases with an Amazon Prime Card and an eligible Prime membership. Meanwhile, Prime members can get their holiday gifts quicker with access to free and fast shipping, with millions of must-have items available for same-day delivery. If you aren't already an Amazon Prime member, don't worry—there's still plenty of time to sign up.
When does the Amazon Black Friday sale end?
The Amazon Black Friday sale ends on November 26, with Amazon Cyber Monday deals rolling out the following day, on November 27. Keep in mind, however, that many of the markdowns included in the Amazon Black Friday sale are one-day deals.
Following the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend of sales, we expect to see discounts on select items throughout the holiday season—however, with shipping delays and stock shortages expected, we recommend shopping early to ensure you get all the holiday gifts on your list this year.
