UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2024, 5:40 p.m. EST Amazon’s Black Friday sale officially started on Thursday, Nov. 21. This story has been updated with details on how long the sale will last, plus new deals on Instant Pots, beauty tech from Dyson and Shark, and further discounts on items that were already on sale, like Beats headphones.

It seemed that Amazon was playing the long game this year, but now, its Black Friday sale has officially started.
The monster retailer announced the official dates for its Black Friday sale weeks later than the other big stores, and the official Amazon Black Friday event itself didn’t start until Thursday, Nov. 21. If you’re at all familiar with the way Black Friday works nowadays, you know that a Black Friday sale starting a week before Thanksgiving isn’t all that early — considering Best Buy, Walmart, and Target had all already unveiled a first round or two of official Black Friday deals by the time Amazon started using that language.
But by now, any seasoned Black Friday shopper probably also knows that the lack of official Black Friday nomenclature doesn’t mean a lack of early Black Friday deals. Amazon had been quietly dropping some pretty good discounts on products in main categories like robot vacuums, Apple products, and Fire TVs throughout all of November. But now that Amazon’s legit Black Friday sale is underway after that post-October Prime Day limbo period, expect deals to get explosive.
We’re tracking all of the noteworthy deals live in the days before Thanksgiving, and will be refreshing our list of Amazon deals on a daily basis, because that’s how often Amazon is dropping new deals.
As you assess your purchase options, definitely keep an eye on our coverage of the other big retailers to see how their deals compare to Amazon’s — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target are going hard, and the variety out there deserves some consideration. Another smart shopping strategy is to drop the listing URL into Amazon price history tracker Camelcamelcamel to see if the current deal is a good one, or add the item to your wishlist to get notified as soon as it goes on sale.
Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a 🔥has dropped to a record-low price.
Best Black Friday Kindle deal
Why we like it”The new batch of 2024 Kindles is the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can’t beat the SE’s Black Friday price.
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That’s some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that’s usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite, lightweight and waterproof design, with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday Echo deal
Why we like itFor less than $20, why not add the convenience of being able to ask Alexa anything in any room of your home? Even if you can’t see yourself being a full-screened Echo person, the Pop can subtly squeeze into any living situation. You won’t even know it’s there — until you’re making dinner and can simply ask Alexa for measurement conversions out loud rather than actually figuring out the math. Then you’ll definitely know it’s there.

Best Black Friday Fire Tablet deal
Why we like it”Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet is a lot friendlier on the wallet than an iPad. With a 10.1-inch screen, it’s similar in size, but it’s also a fraction of the price. In our review of the Amazon Fire HD 10, we delighted in its lightweight design and long-battery life. The biggest downside to Amazon’s Fire tablets are the limited selection of apps offered, especially compared the the Google Play or Apple stores.
That being said, it’s still not a bad choice for those who want a tablet for streaming or reading through the Kindle app —especially when the Fire HD 10 is down to its lowest price ever of $74.99. That’s a generous 46% off for $65 in savings.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday robot vacuum deal
Why we like it”I think of the Roborock Qrevo S as the diet version of my favorite self-emptying robot vacuum right now, the Roborock Qrevo Master. And unless you’re open to spending $1,000 or more on a robot vacuum, you can probably live without the Qrevo Master’s fluff features like a livestream pet camera or extending side mop — especially when, at this price, you could buy a Qrevo S for two stories of your home for less than the price of one on-sale Qrevo Master.
Opting for the cheaper Qrevo is still a solid move: Compared to other 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos also on sale for Black Friday, the Qrevo S is one of the rare options under $500 that washes and dries its mopping pads.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday TV deal
Why we like it”Many people looking to finally replace their old, slow LED TV are looking for the happy medium between the cheapest possible TV and the fanciest possible TV. TCL’s base tier QLEDs fall right in this sweet spot, and we’re particularly drawn to the $549.99 price point on this huge 75-incher.
Though the 27% discount itself isn’t as steep as the 30% or 40% off ones we’re seeing in our list, it has to be noted that the TV is already ridiculously modestly priced to start with. $549.99 looks even sweeter in context when put beside the 65-inch version of Amazon’s in-house Omni QLED is also on sale for the same price — so you’re getting 10 more diagonal inches of screen for the same amount of money.
Even as one of the more basic QLEDs on the market, you’ll immediately notice the change in brightness and color of the Q65 over the regular LED you’ve been watching. The difference comes from a layer of quantum dots laid over the LED backlight, which provides an overall punchier picture that’s much better for gaming or watching sports.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday Apple deal
Why we like itConsidering the M4 MacBook Pro hasn’t even been on this plane of existence for a full month (it was announced at the Apple Event at the end of October), already getting a $200 discount on the base configuration model is pretty major. That’s Black Friday season for you.
So, what’s the difference between the M3 and M4 MacBooks, aside from the fact that the M4 powered one is the fastest MacBook that’s ever existed? All of your creative projects and gaming will not only benefit from zippier performance of the chip, but will display more responsive motion and gush brighter colors through the M4 MacBook’s new quantum dot Liquid Retina display.

Best Black Friday headphones deal
Why we like itCheck out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.
Mashable Deals
“If you want headphones that have great noise cancelling and incredible (adjustable) sound, then the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones won’t let you down. Out of the noise-cancelling headphones we’ve tested, these are our top pick for audiophiles. It can be a little annoying that the ear cups don’t fold in, but with 30 hours of battery life, you’ll probably find yourself wearing them more often than not. Dropped down to $297, these headphones are at a dollar cheaper than their Prime Day price. Our guess is that this means they’ll drop even lower on Black Friday, but if you want to pick up a pair early, this is a decent price.” — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Best Black Friday fitness tracker deal
Why we like itJust released in August, this is the first time the new Google Pixel Watch 3 has ever gone on sale for less than $300. Unfortunately, the larger 45mm screen is still at full price, but even this 41mm model has a 10% larger display than the same size Pixel Watch 2, thanks to smaller bezels. The Pixel Watch 3’s display is also just brighter and zippier in general, without sacrificing that 24-hour battery life.
On that screen, you’ll be able to swipe through a more detailed running dashboard than the previous generation, check your heart rate changes from sleep, to regular daytime chilling, to a legit cardio workout, make payments via Google Wallet, and more.

Best Black Friday kitchen deal
Why we like itWe know some version of the Foodi immediately comes to mind when you think of Ninja deals, but Ninja makes other feature-stuffed countertop appliances that also deserve consideration. For instance, one of the new and improved versions of Ninja’s iconic air fryer ovens, which whips up food up to 65% faster than your traditional oven, is subtly chilling under $200 for Black Friday. This countertop air frying oven, specifically model number DCT402BK, has a double stack design that can cook two separate food items on different settings or at different temperatures simultaneously. In total, there are 13 cooking presets, including bake, broil, toast, whole roast, and dehydrate.

Why we like itIf a multi styler like the Airwrap or FlexStyle feels like it’ll be overkill for your hair routine, you might consider a nice (but still multifaceted) hair dryer like the Shark SpeedStyle. It’s one of Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard’s favorite Dyson Supersonic dupes, particularly for smoothing — its QuickSmooth brush in particular not only dries hair quickly, but “keeps things from looking too windswept and more styled and volumized.” This version also comes with a diffuser for defined curls, a concentrator for sleek, straight styles, and a FrizzFighter finishing tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Black Friday officially falls on Friday, Nov. 29 in 2024. But as we know, that date has little to do with the start of Black Friday sales online, many of which began in early November — even the “late” ones should all be live at the beginning of the week of Thanksgiving.
If you plan on shopping in-store, discounts likely won’t hit stores until the wee hours of Nov. 29, as most big retailers are closed for the holiday on Thursday, Nov. 28.
Amazon began its Black Friday sale on Thursday, Nov. 21, and deals will run through Monday, Dec. 2, switching to Cyber Monday mode at some point that weekend. Most of Amazon’s Black Friday deals will likely carry over into Cyber Monday, plus some new Cyber Monday-exclusive deals.

The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah’s main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home.
