Best deals on household appliances to expect on Black Friday 2024

Running a home is expensive; even more so when the essentials break down and need replacing.

Try living without a washing machine for a week or two, or a working oven for just as long. It is utter bedlam - especially for families.

When important appliances start creaking and groaning, it’s time to start looking for replacements. The exorbitant expense puts many off - these things don’t come cheap, after all - unless you’re canny enough to wait until the end of November.

That’s when a small shopping window known as Black Friday opens for one weekend, making upgrading your home electricals a little easier on your finances. 

When is Black Friday 2024?

Mark your calendar for November 29, the official date that the Black Friday frenzy kicks off this year.

When does Black Friday end?

The event runs through the weekend and usually finishes with a flourish of firework-worthy offers on Cyber Monday.

This year, Cyber Monday is on December 2.

Why is it called Black Friday?

A memorable name for an epic sale, the term Black Friday entered the global lexicon in the 50s when Philadelphia streets became clogged with car fumes as families rushed to the sales the day after Thanksgiving.

While we may not celebrate the holiday here in the UK, we can give thanks for the dramatic deals that are laid on instead.

What deals on household appliances can we expect?

From TVs and toasters to tumble dryers, home electricals and tech brands are preparing a banquet of bargains that will let you bring home big-ticket items for much less.

From kitchen fridges, washing machines and air fryers to vacuum cleaners, TVs, heaters, electric blankets and more, we’re likely to see prices so low they’ll have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief. 

We know you can’t schedule a fridge, oven or washing machine breakdown - if only! - so if you’re looking for an on-sale appliance right now, we’ve rounded up the notable ones below.

Ninja Combi 12-In-1 Multi-Cooker, Oven & Air Fryer

Taking individual kitchen appliances and parcelling them up into countertop-friendly dimensions measuring 33 x 39 x 38cm, Ninja's Combi gadget really does do it all. 

A dozen functions are packed into this thing, all navigated on the boxy control panel on the front: Combi Meals, Combi Crisp, Combi Bake, Rice/Pasta, Sear/Sauté, Steam, Slow Cook, Prove, Bake, Reheat, Air Fry & Grill, meaning it is so much more than simply a microwave.

Helpfully, the design features a viewing hatch on the front (and features a front door opening, ideal if you're living with low-set kitchen cupboards), so you can see if food is done ahead of the timer pinging or if your ingredients could do with a quick stir. You'll get a trio of accessories with it too: a baking tray, combi pan and crisper plate. Ninja has even bunged in a recipe guide, ready to flick through for inspiration.

Was: £279.99

Buy now £249.00, Amazon
