If you're on the lookout for great Black Friday deals, our guide to where to shop and what to add to your basket will have you prepped and ready for this year's Black Friday event.
When live, you'll find discounts on everything from bestselling mattresses at Emma to money off Ninja air fryers, reductions on Shark and Dyson vacuum cleaners, as well as deals to be found on Kenwood and KitchenAid stand mixers, Sage and De'Longhi kitchen appliances.
Whether you want to use the deals below to save cash on a major purchase or to spread the cost of Christmas by shopping in ongoing sales, these deals are a great opportunity to shop for less. We've spent countless hours trying and testing everything from sofa beds to coffee machines, air fryers to mattresses, so if anyone knows what they're on about - and what's worth shopping for - it's us.
While many of us know that Black Friday officially occurs on 29th November, for the last few years retailers have started their sales earlier and earlier and, with that in mind, here are the current live sales you can shop right now!

Air fryer deals
Ninja is the air fryer brand name you need to know, and this is a star Ninja air fryer deal. We rate it as the best performing air fryer money can buy in our Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer review, and, it'll look good on your countertop too.
It's all about the windows with this pick, our second favourite tried-and-tested dual-zone air fryer. If – like our testers – you prefer to be able to see your food as it crisps up, then the Instant Vortex is for you, and it is currently at its lowest price ever at Argos.
So far, we think this is the best early Black Friday deal going. Especially if you're looking to gift an air fryer to the chef in your life. Ninja's limited edition copper dual zone air fryer looks good, performs brilliantly, and comes with all sorts of added extras.
Since Ninja Dual Zones are the popular choice of the moment (and with good reason!) we're delighted to find another deal, and this model currently has £60 off.
Vacuum deals
Yes, this vacuum is still an investment, even when on offer. But our testing team dubbed this 'the best Dyson vacuum money can buy'. It's incredibly powerful, sleek and easy to use and has nifty laser heads which help with pick up. If you've been considering investing in Dyson, now is the time to buy.
If you prefer an upright vacuum to a stick model, then this Shark vacuum is our top buy. Our Shark ICZ300UKT Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner review found it offered all the freedom of a cordless with the power of an upright, and its current discount makes it a good value investment.
It's a pricey option, even on sale, but as our reviewer discovered, this powerful HEPA vacuum really is all it claims, and it boasts an impressive 70 minute runtime.
One of our favourite vacuum cleaners is now reduced at Amazon. We love the Flexology design that makes it easy to reach under furniture, and it's got a great control panel that switches from hard floor to carpet with ease.
Impressive performance, a large water tank, and the flexibility to get under low-lying furniture means we think this is one of the best steam cleaners on the market. However, it's usually a big investment, so this deal is a very welcome sight.
Dehumidifier deals
We haven't tested this exact Pro Breeze dehumidifier, but it's the predecessor of the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode (just without the dedicated Laundry Mode) and remains a bestseller thanks to its impressive 20L per day extraction rate.
Kitchen appliance deals
Our Kenwood kMix stand mixer review rated this the best stand mixer overall. It's good value with a user-friendly design, and its stylish good looks will elevate any kitchen worktop. Plus, it's currently on offer at a great price on Amazon.
This machine won the title of 'best food processor for versatility' in our round up thanks to its clever use of nesting bowls to cut down on washing up and the vast range of accessories.
Our review of this Smeg bean-to-cup coffee machine loved the streamlined nature of this device, as well as its stylish good looks.
Bedding deals
This already affordable electric blanket is now an even better price thanks to this deal. It may be no-frills, but it does the job and offers an economical way to stay warm this winter.
Doing away with coil springs, the Emma Original mattress features a foam core with a memory foam upper. The affordable price point makes it one of the brand's bestsellers, and it's now an even better deal in the sale. Read our Emma Original mattress review for the full lowdown.
Laundry deals
We consistently rate the Lakeland Dry:Soon range as the best heated clothes airers, and for good reason. Dry your laundry more quickly and heat your space to boot with a handy £70 off.
Cordless, sleek and now with a nice discount off, this is a fab iron to pick up today. And did we mention it's our #1 pick of the best irons after testing it?
If you both steam and iron, this highly rated device does both in one, meaning one less gadget for you to have to worry about storing.
Furniture deals
A part of Sofa.com's collaboration with British fashion brand Jack Wills, the Jack sofa is a stylish mix of mid-Century modern and contemporary design with medium-soft foam seating. Upholstery options are limited, but with up to 60% off right now it's currently a very good deal.
It's an investment, but this is one truly multifunctional sofa bed that's just as comfortable as everyday seating as it is for hosting guests – a rare find! Shop it today and secure this fab discount.
Christmas deals
The best artificial Christmas trees have come a long way in recent years with many giving the real thing a run for their money. This Very tree is a bestseller for good reason, and a neat discount makes it an even better buy.
If you prefer the frosted look then this flocked artificial tree will help you to create a winter snow scene worthy of the North Pole. Bushy branches coated in an ethereal powder white coating look like they're straight from a crisp winter's morning.
FAQs
Are Black Friday deals any good?
Whether you're looking to get ahead and save on Christmas gifts by nabbing a deal on one of the best coffee machines for the coffee aficionado in your life or looking to secure an essential for the new year like a discounted vacuum, Black Friday can be a great time to make a saving.
Black Friday is a particularly great time to shop furniture and decor, but did you know that it's also a great time of year to save on items like mattresses, furniture, and gardening essentials? Basically, any big-ticket item you've been putting off purchasing will probably have some money off.
And, it's a great time to think savvy and look ahead to next Christmas, whether by snapping up one of the best artificial Christmas trees on sale, or finding a great deal on a luxury advent calendar that didn't quite sell out.
Of course, it can be easy to get swayed by the urgency of big discounts and limited-time offers, but doing a little research before you buy can ensure you don't make a costly mistake by purchasing a product that doesn't quite fit your requirements.
That's where our 'best of' guides are here to help, curating a selection of the Ideal Home team's tried and tested favourites in each category, and offering plenty of buying advice to make sure you know exactly what specifications to look out for before you shop:

How can I avoid being ripped off on Black Friday?
‘It’s easy to get carried away, so make a list of what you want in advance,’ advises Danny Munday, general manager of HotUKDeals. It also pays to read reviews and compare prices of the models you like, so you know you’re getting a genuine deal. ‘Check the shipping costs before you order, too,’ adds Danny. ‘Some brands charge so much for postage, it cancels out any savings.’
Are Black Friday deals as good as they seem?
We predict there probably will be some worthwhile deals in January – last year we spotted cheap Nespresso machines, budget-friendly mattresses and even top-rated vacuums at less than half price.
However, some retailers do use sales events like this as an opportunity to clear out old stock, or even increase the prices of items beforehand to make the deals look better on the day. So make a list before the day itself and compare prices, to make sure you're actually getting a good deal.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday falls on the Monday directly after Black Friday, which this year will be Monday 2nd December.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a digital-only discount shopping event that always takes place on the Monday following Black Friday. It started out as a tech-dominated event, however, in recent years we've seen homeware brands continue their deals over to Cyber Monday deals, rebranding it as 'Cyber Monday.'
Cyber Monday, was introduced for the first time only in 2005 to encourage people to shop online. With Black Friday becoming more than just a one-day event (more like one-week, if not month), the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events have become somewhat blurred in recent years.
