Top dehumidifier deals
A must-have during winter, dehumidifiers are a non-negotiable for keeping damp and mould at bay. The best dehumidifier, according to our reviewer, is the Duux bora smart dehumidifier, and it’s now reduced by £50 at Currys (was £299.99, now £249, Currys.co.uk). Elsewhere, you can save on top models from Sharp, De’longhi and more.
Russell Hobbs fresh air dehumidifier: Was £51.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
This fresh air dehumidifier was recommended by our reviewer for small spaces and rooms up to 15 square metres, as it’s “so compact it will sit neatly on your shelves or sideboard, without you even realising it’s there”. Currently discounted by 25 per cent at Amazon, it’s both quiet and easy to use, according to our reviewer, as there’s “just one simple button to switch it on and get it to work”.

My Black Friday shopping tips to help you get the best deals
I’ve been covering the Black Friday sales for the past eight years, here’s everything I’ve learned
The best Amazon cleaning and household deals
Amazon is the best destination online for stocking up on household essentials and cleaning products - especially during the Black Friday sales.
From this affordable Shark steam mop (was £69.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk) and Finish dishwasher tablets (was £19, now £14, Amazon.co.uk) to a pack of six Detoll surface cleaners (was £11.94, now £10, Amazon.co.uk) to a pack of 24 toilet rolls (was £34, now £28, Amazon.co.uk), now’s the time to add boring, but necessary, buys to your basket.
Save 33% on this top-rated Samsung tablet
According to our resident tech expert Steve, this is the deal on a Samsung tablet that is most worth your attention.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9: Was £899, now £599, Amazon.co.uk
The Galaxy Tab S9 was my pick of the best tablets until it was replaced by the S10 earlier this year, but it remains a brilliant Android tablet with plenty of performance and a bright and punchy OLED display. The 11in device is ideal for watching entertainment on the go, features an auto-framing selfie camera for video calls, and has the S Pen stylus included for free.

Upgrade your smartwatch with the Garmin forerunner
Black Friday is your chance to upgrade your tech for a lot less - see this Garmin forerunner deal, which sees the covetable smartwatch reduced by more than £100.
Garmin Forerunner 255 smartwatch: Was £329.99, now £221.99, Amazon.co.uk
Although simpler than the Garmin Forerunner 955 and with fewer features, the 255 still includes a wide range of health and fitness tracking functions, including a race widget to help you prepare for your next event. There’s also a whole catalogue of daily workout suggestions, a widget for estimating your recovery time after each exercise session, and detailed running metrics, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance.
The cloud-like Premier Inn mattress is on sale right now
Bed extraordinaire Premier Inn has launched its Black Friday sale with money off mattresses, plus two free pillows with every order. I got the Premier Inn mattress a few months back and have never slept better. So, what are you waiting for?
Premier Inn mattress, double: Was £609, now £548, Premierinnbed.co.uk
Earning a spot in IndyBest’s best mattress review, I loved the design’s edge-to-edge support, temperature-regulating sleep surface and micro-quilted surface. A nifty feature is the top layer that can be unzipped and rotated, which is a lot easier than turning the entire thing. When testing, I found that it offered medium to firm support and was impressed with the zoned system, which helps to evenly distribute weight across the mattress. If you sleep on your side, this is a great option as it avoids putting too much pressure on your hips and shoulders.

This viral Skims dress is half price
Responsible for taking shapewear high-fashion, Kim Kardashian’s label Skims has been a go-to for elevated basics since its debut in 2019. If you’re looking for an excuse to stock up on its essentials, the brand has just launched its first-ever sitewide sale for Black Friday 2024.
Skims fits everybody long slip dress: Was £80, now £40, Skims.com
Among the many discounts, one saving stands out. You can currently shop the viral ‘fits everybody’ dress for half price. With countless videos on TikTok praising the universally flattering fit of the dress, I took the plunge and invested a few years ago.
The straps are adjustable so you can customise the fit around the bust while the polyamide and elastane blend fabric is super soft and stretchy against skin. The slip dress is available in saffron and navy, but the “onyx” black colourway is the most wearable.

Allow me to let you in on a secret: Marks and Spencer doesn’t host a Black Friday sale, but it’s launched hundreds of deals ahead of the Christmas shopping period.
From clothes to homeware, it’s dropped the prices across various departments, doing its own thing for the sale event.

Clean up with this Gtech cordless vacuum deal
Step aside Shark and Dyson, I’ve found one of the lowest prices on a top-rated cordless vacuum.
Gtech AirRAM MK2: Was £229, now £127, Amazon.co.uk
“After the initial shock of the design set up and its unusual futuristic appearance, we were won over by the cordless vacuum’s performance – cleaning both carpets and hardwood flooring to a very high standard,” our tester said.
“We loved the little extras such as the LED lights along the front, which helped us see the dust and dirt we had previously missed and also just how easy it was to empty the bin and reattach it.” At less than £250, it’s already very reasonably priced, especially as some other cordless models are triple this price. Now, you can save even more thanks to Black Friday.
