The 43 Best Black Friday Deals at Amazon This Year

Amazon's Black Friday cup of deals overflows, which makes for a bit of a mess. There are so many products advertised on the retail giant's site, it can be tough to find the best discounts. So we've been scouring the site and comparing prices all week. These are the best actual deals on TVs, smart home gear, phones, robot vacuums, and much more.

Amazon Device Deals

We've gathered a ton of Amazon Device Deals for Black Friday, but here's a small sampling of the best.

The Fire HD 10 is our favorite (7/10, WIRED Recommends) of the many Fire tablets available. It's the biggest and fastest, and it's pretty inexpensive. Right now the 32-GB model is half off, but if you'd like a bit more storage, you can get the 64-GB model for $115, which is still cheaper than the base model is normally. You can also grab the Fire HD 10 Plus, with extra RAM and support for wireless charging, for $30 more.

The fabric-covered spherical fourth generation Echo (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Alexa-powered smart speaker. It has excellent sound quality, some of the most robust voice commands of any platform, and it recognizes spoken words quickly and easily. We like this speaker at its usual $100, but at this price it's a steal, matching the lowest in its history.

The basic Kindle is a classic for a reason. It's an inexpensive, handy way to carry your entire book collection around with you, and the 10th-generation model is currently on sale for nearly half off if you buy one. To sweeten the deal, if you buy two, you'll get an extra $20 off, knocking the price for each one down to an effective $40 each.

The second generation of Amazon's AirPods competitor impressed us well enough. The Echo Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) have solid sound, easy pairing, and wireless charging via the included case. We'd like to see a bit better noise cancellation, but at the current deal price it's not a major concern. The Echo Buds without the wireless charging case are also on sale for $20 less.

TV and Monitor Deals

This curved gaming monitor supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD's FreeSync, so you'll get a smooth refresh rate no matter what graphics card you're using. We've already seen this monitor go on sale for the holidays, but now it's down to the lowest price we've tracked. There's never been a better time to grab it.

Sony's A90J is one of our favorite TVs, but that gorgeous OLED panel comes at a steep cost. Full array LEDs are much cheaper while still providing the kind of localized backlighting that creates striking contrast. The X90J is a less expensive sibling to the A90J that uses this type of panel to achieve decent picture quality at close to a third of the cost. It's typically available for a little less than $1,200.

You know a gadget is a big deal when it has “The” in its name. The Frame from Samsung is designed to look like a normal framed piece of artwork when it's not in use. It transforms into a regular 43-inch 4K TV when you want to watch a show or six. This price is the lowest we've tracked.

Amazon, Target, Best Buy

Usually, a good TV is a good TV, but if you're planning on playing a lot of games on your set, then this is the model you'll want. The LG C1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has an OLED panel, which means deep blacks and better contrast, plus it supports up to 120 Hz for smooth gameplay. It can even utilize Nvidia's G-Sync if you're hooking it up to a gaming PC. This deal has been around for a while, but the price is still good.

Most TVs have some kind of smart operating system, but this model conveniently has both Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can find what you want to watch with your voice no matter which assistant you prefer. You can also ask simple questions like “What's the weather?” or “How tall is Jeff Goldblum?” This historic low price has been around since early November.

Audio and Gaming Deals

When you've got your eye on an expensive soundbar, like our favorite luxury model here, the bigger the discount is, the better. The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundar is down to a match of the lowest price we've seen yet. It has only been this steeply discounted a couple of other times. In our testing, the audio managed to sound like there were speakers scattered around the room, even though everything is contained in one (massive) bar.

One of the biggest appeals of a soundbar is the simplicity of improving sound quality without setting up multiple gadgets. Yamaha's YAS-209 doubles down on this allure by packing a great sound system and Amazon Alexa into one bar and one wireless subwoofer. That means it's a soundbar as well as a smart speaker. No wonder its one of our favorites. The price falls to $300 pretty frequently, but it bounces back to $350 just as often. We've yet to see it go lower than this.

Sony's PlayStation Plus membership is required if you want to play games online, but even if you don't, it's a great way to get free games every month. A 12-month subscription tends to drop in price around the holidays every year, so now's the time to top off for 2022.

Wired mice trade the cord-free convenience of wireless models for more reliability and reduced lag. In most cases input lag is not an issue, but if you play games competitively, it can be a literal life saver. This Razer Viper mouse is ambidextrous, so anyone can use it. It's considerably cheaper than its wireless cousin, which is also one of our favorite gaming mice. The $40 Black Friday deal price beats other discounts we've seen.

Phone and Headphone Deals

Since Google's Pixel 6 came out, it's been hard to beat for value, and that was our main concern when we first reviewed the OnePlus 8T. It has good cameras, a gorgeous screen, and an all-day battery. We just wanted to see it come down a bit in price. At $500, not only is it $100 cheaper than usual, but it also undercuts Google's flagship. 

The OnePlus 9 Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) made our honorable mentions list for the Best Android Phones after OnePlus improved the cameras that were often lackluster on previous models. Now it's down to an all-time low price of $799. You can get a free pair of OnePlus Buds Pro when you order the phone directly through OnePlus.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) was the first modern foldable phone we reviewed positively. It's back down to its lowest price ever, and this deal comes with a sweet bonus. There's an offer to get a free pair of Galaxy Buds 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) when you buy the Z Flip3. On Amazon, the offer button is located just below the price. The earbuds usually cost $150.

If you want the best tablet you can get for the money … well, you should probably buy an iPad. But if you're looking for a great Android tablet, specifically, then the Galaxy Tab S7 is the best option you can get. It has 128 GB of storage and a spacious 11-inch display. Most tablets don't come with a stylus, but the Tab S7 includes an S Pen. This deal beats previous discounts.

Note that there may be a clip coupon offer on Amazon to drop the price even more. Sonix iPhone cases have some of the most stylish designs we've seen. The MagSafe models are designed to work with newer iPhones for faster and more efficient wireless charging.

It's a bummer when you slap a case on your new phone and it gains what feels like an extra inch of thickness. Totallee makes some of the thinnest cases on the market. The coupon code works on screen protectors and chargers too.

The Jabra Elite 85T (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are incredible, with a comfortable fit and excellent noise cancellation. Our only gripe is with the list price, but this deal makes them a much better buy. The ample eight-hour battery life should be more than enough for several workout sessions. The water and dust resistance mean they should stay safely in place no matter how active you are. Jabra's older, cheaper Elite 7 Active are our Favorite Wireless Earbuds for Working Out. 

Sony's cumbersomely named WH-1000XM4 headphones are one of our absolute favorite headsets (9/10, WIRED Recommends) with 30 hours of battery life, some of the best noise cancellation on the market, and the ability to pause music whenever you start talking to someone. They're our top pick overall for wireless headsets, and they're down to their lowest price ever right now. 

Finding the right gear to work out in is challenging enough, but for cyclists it can be even harder. A decent pair of sunglasses will be necessary, but they can bump against earbuds if you want to listen to music while you ride. Fortunately, the Bose Frames Tempo sunglasses place impressively effective speakers against your temples, giving you the best of both gadgets in one.

A good pair of headphones has clear audio quality, but a truly great pair of earbuds can do the same with a stylish flourish. These Bang & Olufsen earbuds made our list of the Best Workout Earbuds not only for having water resistance, long battery life, and a selection of listening profiles, but for looking pretty darn good while doing so. This price is by far the lowest we've tracked for them.

JBL makes pretty solid audio equipment in general, and these earbuds offer up to 21 hours of battery life, active noise cancellation, and wireless charging for a relatively affordable $75. This historic low price has been around since late October.

Laptop and PC Deals

The Chromebook Flex 5i is one of our favorite Chromebooks, but if you're trying to stick to a budget, the Flex 5 is great alternative, especially when the price is this low. The specs are on the light end, with a 10th-generation Intel Core i3 chip and 4 gigabytes of RAM. It might not handle heavy duty tasks, but it's still great for homework and browsing the web.

This lightweight Acer laptop is one of our favorites. It packs 16 gigabytes of RAM, an 11th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, and a 1-terabyte solid state drive, which makes it powerful enough to handle most tasks you could throw at it. It also comes with a bevy of ports including HDMI, USB-A, and a Thunderbolt 4 capable USB-C port that can double as a charging port. There's even a headphone jack for the cool, attractive people that are back on the wired headphone train.

Sometimes all you need from a mouse is reliability. The Logitech G305 provides that perfectly. Reviews editor Julian Chokkattu has used this mouse for over two years with no issues. It includes the required single AA battery; Even with heavy use you'll likely only need to replace it once every few months at most. As long as you have a spare USB-A port, this is a fantastic work from home companion down to the lowest price we've tracked.

We liked the Razer Kiyo Pro, which skips a ring light in favor of software-based low-light compensation, in our webcam tests. The only problem is that it was a touch overpriced. Right now, that's less of a problem with the webcam down to a mere $100—its best deal yet.

It never hurts to make sure your files are backed up. If you have a lot of files that you can't afford to lose, there's hardly a better option to create a backup than this positively massive 18 terabyte external drive from Western Digital. It's got more than enough space to keep even large video collections safe for the long term.

Solid state drives (or SSDs) are one of the best ways to speed up your computer, and Samsung makes some of the most highly rated. This 500 gigabyte SSD has more than enough space to be the primary drive where you install Windows, as well as any other big applications or games that you want to load quickly. This goes on sale all the time, but the lowest price we've tracked was $60.

This SSD is our top pick for high-speed external storage. Our team has used it for incredibly demanding tasks, like recording 6K footage from cinema cameras, which typical SD cards can't pull off. If the work you do requires speed, or you just don't like waiting for all your files to copy over, it's hard to beat this drive. The Black Friday deal beats the previous low by $20.

The Flexispot EN1 is one of the best affordable standing desks out there. It's motorized, lets you set multiple height presets, and doesn't wobble very much compared to similarly priced desks. It would make a good dedicated home base for those still working from a laptop at the kitchen counter or coffee table.

Smart Home and Kitchen Deals

The Apple Watch SE is the least expensive model that still works with Family Setup, so if you're looking for a cheap smart watch you can give to a child or non-tech savvy relative, this is the one to get. This is the Best Apple Watch for most people, and it's even more attractive at this historic low price.

For focusing purely on fitness tracking, the Fitbit Charge 5 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite wearable, hands … well, up, probably. It has a bright AMOLED display, long battery life, and it's positively packed with sensors for a tracker at this price point. Unfortunately, some of the best features are locked behind the FitBit Premium membership, but you'll get 6 months for free so you can be really sure you want those features before you commit to the $10 monthly cost.

The Roborock S4 Max impressed us with features that are normally only found on more expensive models, like mapping, virtual barriers, and the ability to identify and avoid problem spots. We called it the best bang for your buck in our roundup of the Best Robot Vacuums, and with the extra $150 off coupon, it's hard to resist.

A step up from the S4 Max, the Roborock S6 MaxV (7/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with impressive additional bells and whistles, like the ability to recognize and avoid dog poop. One of our biggest complaints was its relatively steep price, but knocking nearly $300 off sure helps with that.

Robot vacuums can get pretty expensive, but if you don't need all the extra features, this basic model from Eufy is down to a staggeringly low price. It's quiet, has a decent sized dust bin, and the battery life is long. 

Amazon (Click the Coupon Button)

The Yeedi K650 was already our top pick for cheap robot vacuums, but now it's down to the best price we've ever seen for it. Click the coupon button on Amazon and for $120 you'll get a basic bot that can bounce around your house for up to 100 minutes, and still connects to Wi-Fi and can take commands from Alexa. If cost is the most important factor, this deal may be the best option.

Another solid, robust robot vacuum, the Yeedi Vac Station can store up to 30 days worth of dust in its bin, letting you get away with rarely paying attention to it. It can also double as a mop, completing both tasks simultaneously. Be sure to click the coupon to get the discount.

A mesh router system is one of the best ways to cover a large house with reliable Wi-Fi signal, and in our testing, the Eero 6 was the simplest to set up that we could find. This three pack is enough to cover tons of square footage with minimal effort. This price is the best we have tracked. You can also grab a three pack of the Eero Pro 6, which covers even more space with faster speeds, for $450 ($150 off).

Outdoor Deals

The GoPro Hero 10 Black (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the Best Action Camera we've tested. It can record video in up to 5.3K—if your device is even capable of editing such footage—and packs a blazing fast processor, and also features improved noise reduction and tone mapping. The camera is down to $350 ($150 off) if you get it straight from GoPro directly, but if that's not available, it's still $50 off from most other retailers. 

Amazon, Target, REI

When we reviewed the Garmin Instinct Solar (8/10, WIRED Recommends), we loved that it could recharge with sunlight, but we weren't huge fans of the high price tag. This discount relieves a lot of that stress, leaving you with a rugged GPS-enabled watch to help track all your outdoor activities.

The only thing better than chilling in a hammock on a nice sunny day is having space for a loved one to join you. This DoubleNest hammock from ENO has plenty of space for you and one other person. (Or more, if you're ambitious, but we might not recommend it.)
