This model was rated best in class in our review of the best electric toothbrushes. With this generous Black Friday offer, the Oral-B pro 3 3500 is less than half price. It provides a daily clean, sensitive, and whitening mode, and a timer with 30-second pacing buzzes.

Our reviewer was happy with the pro 3 3500’s cleaning power, noting how their teeth “felt fresh and thoroughly scrubbed, delivering that satisfying ‘just been to the dentist’ sensation”.
Playstation 5: Was £459.99, now £399.99, Argos.co.uk
Looking to score a saving on the PS5? Resident tech expert Alex has been busy rounding up the best offers. And I’ve spotted that Argos has slashed the price of the console just in time for Christmas. When tech writer Steve reviewed it, he said: “The PS5 packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC.” I predict a sell-out here, so run, don’t walk.
Dyson supersonic hair dryer: Was £280, now £250, Argos.co.uk
Senior writer Daisy spotted this impressive deal on her favourite hair dryer. In short, the beauty team vowed that the supersonic “drastically decreases the amount of time spent drying your hair and leaves it far shinier and healthier than the majority of hair dryers”.

This is another deal that comes with the retailer’s price promise guarantee. The TV features voice control and the ‘magic’ remote, which enables you to navigate the display using motion, where you’ll be able to access Freeview Play, Disney+ and other apps.
Eufy G50 hybrid robot vacuum and mop: Was £200, now £119, Argos.co.uk
Tech writer Steve featured several models from Eufy in his review of the best robot vacuum cleaners, so, while he hasn’t tested this particular model before, the brand is one we trust. The G50 is cordless, equipped to run for up to 120 minutes once charged, and can fit beneath furniture to ensure a thorough clean. The soft mop pad and water tank mean this model will work as a mop, too. It’s reduced by £81 at the moment, so now’s a great time to invest.
If you’re looking for more robot vacuum cleaner discounts, you’re in luck. Argos has also applied a massive £150 price cut to Samsung’s jet bot cordless robot vacuum cleaner (was £500, now £350, Argos.co.uk), which is a model Steve tried himself. In his review, he dubbed it the best for remote operation.
Dyson V15s detect submarine wet dry cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £800, now £650, Argos.co.uk

It was “simple to fill the tank with water and clean, and you can even add a drop of detergent”, she praised. The vacuum cleaner also features “a fluffy optic cleaner head that reveals hidden dust with its laser, a hair screw tool to blitz ground-in hair and a sensor to measure microscopic particles and increase suction power as needed”.

It’s half price, owing to this deal in the Argos Black Friday sale.
