Kitchen appliances
With five presets and the ability to make soup as well as smoothies, this was a fast favorite. It has over ten speeds and is universally beloved. It comes with a hefty price tag though, so it's best to shop in the sales.
Our Editor's Choice, this model makes excellent French fries. We highly rate the window and odor neutralizer – it's affordable and user-friendly.
Read our Instant Vortex Plus review for more details.
The clue is in the name: this is a professional quality machine which delivers barista-worthy result. Breville's machine is the perfect balance of hands-on and automated. User-friendly and well-designed, it’s the best espresso machine that I’ve tested.
If you're looking to upgrade your kitchen appliances, you’ll score a great deal on Black Friday. This year, I’ve seen super savings on air fryers, juicers, and the best blenders – there's up to 50% off on ultra-powerful Vitamix and Nutribullet blenders, just in time for that new year health kick.
Plus, at this time of year, large appliance brands typically release newer models, so you’ll be able to buy older models at low prices. I’ve consulted the experts on the most reliable refrigerator brands, from Frigidaire to LG, so I can find the highest quality bargains for you.
I’ve rounded up our favorite, tried-and-tested kit on our Black Friday appliances deals page – so you can be certain that you’re investing in the best. This is the first place to look if you're planning a kitchen refresh.
Sleep
This medium-firm mattress is soft enough to cushion your pressure points yet sufficiently supportive to keep your spine in line. The high-density foam is ultra-durable, made to mold to your body then spring back into shape.
Designed to make life easy, this sheet set is tailored beautifully. They're easy to fit, machine-washable, and available in a range of colors and styles.
Our expert tester, Alexandra, started sleeping on the Tempur-Adapt Tempur-Topper back in the spring of 2022. Since then, she's moved back and forth across New York, bringing this topper to each apartment to soften up an uncomfortable rental mattress.
So far, I’ve seen deep discounts on the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress, our best mattress for back pain: a Queen starts from $599.
I’m working closely with some of the best places to buy a mattress to secure exclusive discount codes for H&G readers, saving you more time and money this Black Friday. Shop with the code H&G27 at Birch and Helix to save 27% (rather than 20%) or head over to Bear and save 35% (instead of 30%) with our code H&G35.
Last year, I investigated if mattress sales are real and found that some sites are facing lawsuits for false advertising. When you’re shopping for mattress sales, it pays to keep your wits about you. I recommend you settle on a make and model of mattress, then compare and conquer, cross-checking the price across a range of retailers.
As for bedding, I’m hearing a lot of buzz over at Cozy Earth, who are launching their biggest sale ever this Black Friday. We should see daily flash sales and sitewide discounts, promising up to 45% off their sheets, blankets, and bedding bundles. Cozy Earth makes some of my favorite bedding, from their sumptuous Silk Pillow to their breathable Bamboo Comforter. I often hesitate to recommend their pieces, because they’re so expensive, but I feel much more confident with these discounts.'
Floorcare
This is the best vacuum you can buy, for all floor types. It may be expensive (fingers crossed for some good Black Friday deals) but there's nothing better.
This incredibly powerful cordless will utterly banish pet hair while picking up dirt that can't be seen with the naked eye.
Incredible suction and a lift-away mode that makes it easy to maneuver, with odor-neutralizing tech, an anti-allergen HEPA filter and a brushroll that avoids hair wrap.
Let's face it: no one really wants to spend their hard-earned cash on a vacuum cleaner, and the good ones can cost hundreds of dollars, at least. That's why it's smart to wait until Black Friday when you'll be able to grab a premium model at a fraction of the price.
I cover sale events every year, and already i've seen huge discounts from brands like Dyson, Shark, Bissell and Samsung. Retailers are known for launching their site-wide sales, but a handy tip is to always visit the manufacturers themselves. Often, this is where you'll find the biggest reductions.
Currently in the Dyson sale, the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute (our best vacuum for pet hair) has been reduced from $749.99 to $569.99. The Dyson V11 Extra and the Dyson Digital Slim are also discounted.
Outdoor cooking
This oven makes the best pizza we've ever tested. You can run it on wood, charcoal, or gas for maximum cooking versatility. It's energy-efficient, too, reaching 950°F in just 15 minutes.
This is a professional grill, loaded with bonus features. It makes delicious food and pairs with smartphones to help you grill, too.
This is the best gas grill on the market. It's easy to use and made the best food in our rounds of testing, perfect for the average outdoor cook.
I've tested many of the best grills and best pizza ovens, and as much as I love them, they're not always the cheapest.
It may feel a little strange buying outdoor appliances and gadgets in winter, but this time of year (and especially in the Black Friday sales) is actually the best time to do it, as it's when many big brands and retailers significantly drop their prices on all things outdoor.
So if you're looking to refresh your yard for next summer and elevate your hosting game, now might just be the best time to invest in a new grill or pizza oven. I'll be keeping my eye on Ooni deals, Gozney deals and more, to make sure you're getting the best discounts available on all things outdoor cooking.
Furniture and decor
There's a reason the gorgeous Gleaming Primrose Mirror is a bestseller (not to mention social media famous). Timeless, elegant and vintage-inspired it can truly grow with a home for years to come.
Joanna's new Magnolia Home for Loloi rugs fall collection is filled with warm, lived-in patterns and tones. I love the vintage-inspired motifs and patterns with more modern, earthy colors on the Junie.
These coastal-inspired rattan sconces are such a steal at just under $90 for 2. Complete with a cotton-linen shade, these feel luxurious and handmade - no one would guess its Amazon home decor.
Shopping for your home can get rather expensive, particularly if you're trying to furnish multiple spaces or are remodeling an entire home (like I am currently). So my best advice is to make the most of major sale days. Some of our most coveted retailers are currently holding must-see Black Friday sales so it's time to sharpen those elbows and swot up on everything you need to know about the best deals.
As H&G’s style and trends editor, it’s my job to spend the best part of November scrolling, scouring, and bookmarking the best Black Friday home decor and furniture deals so you can be sure I’ve done all the homework ahead of the big day.

FAQs
Should you shop Black Friday early?
Black Friday deals started dropping as early as November 1st this year (yes, you read that right). So, with that in mind, it's smart to wonder if you should hold out until the big day or shop Black Friday early. It can feel like a real lose-lose. If you buy now, you could miss out on the huge savings on the day itself, but if you wait too long, the gadget you've had your eye on all year could quickly sell out.
Leo Smigel, personal finance expert and founder of Analyzing Alpha says, 'while the conventional wisdom suggests waiting for the main event might secure the best bargains, this isn't necessarily true in today's retail climate. Black Friday, once a frantic day of retail madness, has morphed into a more protracted and accessible event'.
Not only is there little risk with buying early, you can even find some better deals. Last year we recommended a deal on one of the best vacuums for pet hair. The vacuum was a remarkably good deal; the price plummeted from $309.99 to $99, however, the price then jumped back up to $172, so it didn't pay off to wait.
Our advice ultimately boils down to a simple rule of thumb. If the product you're looking for is a necessity and you see a good early discount, we would recommend purchasing, but if the product is more of a 'nice-to-have', hold out until Black Friday and try your luck.
When is the best time to shop home deals?
There's always a home deal somewhere, that's the beauty of having so many sites and so many experts (like us) at your fingertips. While Black Friday tends to see the biggest discounts, it's not the only time to grab a discount. Major retailers are almost always selling off old stock at a discount, and every major federal holiday has its own sales event. The big events, such as Black Friday, holiday sales, Memorial Day, July 4th, Presidents' Day and Prime Day will have some of the best sales, but there's plenty to go around in between.
It's also worth remembering that good discounts will roll around on seasonal items in off-peak times. For example, if you want the latest grill or some chic outdoor furniture, you're best buying them during fall, when all the prices drop post-summer.
