What to expect in the Amazon Black Friday sale
So what new deals will be dropped when the sale starts at midnight?
Well, it is likely that many of the existing discounts will continue to be available. As we’ve seen over the years, many offers that go live in early November stay the same through Black Friday and into December. Increasingly, Black Friday doesn’t have the massive price drop we’ve seen in the past; instead, prices drop sooner and deals run longer.
That said, Amazon confirmed a few more in its initial sales announcement. They are:
- Up to 50% off select Fire TV devices
- Up to 30% on De’Longhi Espresso Machines
- Up to 40% on select laptops, desktops and monitors from HP and Dell
- Up to 40% off the NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle
- Up to 30% discount on selected Peloton accessories and clothing
- Up to 30% off select Play-Doh, Transformers and Nerf toys
- Save on kitchen products from Cosori, KitchenAid, Ninja and Vitamix

A Black Friday classic: Echo Dot for $24.99
Here’s one you won’t have to wait until midnight for…
Amazon has already slashed the price of its latest Echo Dot by 50%, lowering the price to $24.99. Amazon’s smart speakers are always a classic Black Friday bargain, and this deal is especially noteworthy as Amazon only released the new Echo Dot 5th Gen at the end of September – this is the first time it’s been on sale.
We haven’t reviewed it yet, but Amazon says it improved the audio – specifically up to 50% less distortion, yet up to twice the bass – as we reported at the time.
Right now it costs the same as the excellent fourth-gen version, which we awarded 4.5/5 stars in our Echo Dot 4th Gen review, so we’d go for the newer model. If you’re not sure where to start with smart home tech, here’s your answer.
Welcome to our coverage of the Amazon Black Friday sale
Thank you for joining us this morning.
Wait a minute, you might be thinking, were there no Black Friday deals at Amazon for most of November? It’s true, the retailer has had early offers for a few weeks, but tomorrow is the day WHERE start of the Amazon Black Friday sale.
Whether it makes that much of a difference remains to be seen, but Amazon has said the event will run for 48 hours on November 24 and 25. minutes.
These include price reductions of up to 70% on Amazon’s own smart home devices, coffee machines, toys, appliances, Samsung, HP, Dell, Bose and Xbox – as well as a brand new Nintendo Switch bundle.
Stay tuned for regular updates on some of the best early deals coming up and then we’ll share our top picks from the new batch of Amazon deals once they go live at midnight. Whatever they may be.
