When it comes to the biggest, most hotly anticipated shopping weekend of the year, Black Friday doesn’t disappoint. Each November, the four-day sale sees an enormous wave of discounts land across thousands of products, including tech, beauty, kids’ toys, homeware, home appliances and more. And, as we’re now in October, the countdown is officially on for next month’s event.
The annual shopping event always takes place across the last weekend in November, with most Black Friday sales typically running across the entire weekend and into the following Monday – aka, Cyber Monday. This year, mark your diaries for 24-27 November.
As well as stocking up on your favourite products, the Black Friday sales can prove to be the ideal time to save on big-ticket home appliances, such as air fryers, coffee machines, blenders and vacuum cleaners, with major retailers such as John Lewis & Partners, Amazon and Argos all expected to give their products the Black Friday treatment. There will likely be offers on products from heaps of home appliance big-hitters, such as Shark, Dyson and Ninja.
While the seemingly endless online deals may leave you feeling a little overwhelmed, our dedicated deal hunters will be lending a hand throughout the shopping event, highlighting the bargains, and helping you swerve the duds.
The deals won’t start rolling in officially for a few weeks yet but, in the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about the home appliance deals to expect during Black Friday 2023.
The Black Friday sales have always fallen on the weekend following the US holiday of Thanksgiving in late November. While the sale event once lasted for just one day, the annual deals bonanza has since grown, turning into a long weekend of offers. Deals will continue through the weekend and into the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday.
Last year, the Black Friday sale started on Friday 25 November, but you can set your alarm for Friday 24 November this year, with deals continuing to land until Monday 27 November.
We’re expecting the likes of Dyson, Shark, Ninja and other popular home appliance brands to join the Black Friday roster this year, while Amazon, John Lewis & Partners, Very, and Argos are among the retailers expected to take part.
While we can’t know for sure which products will see the biggest and best discounts this year, there’s undoubtedly going to be deals on tech, Amazon devices, laptops, mattresses, beauty products and more. The likes of Lego, Nike, Apple and Charlotte Tilbury (among many others) are also names to look out for.
