John Lewis has a monstrous amount of deals this Black Friday, and one I particularly like is this almost £200 saving on the Dyson gen5 detect – its smartest vacuum yet.

Named the best overall in our review of Dyson vacuums, it impressed with its battery life, HEPA filter and powerful suction. IndyBest writer Siobhan noted that “cleaning power is downright astonishing” and praised its ability to avoid hair tangling – a rare feat in her home.
The Apple iPad has plummeted in price for Black Friday
Speaking of Apple deals, I’ve also spotted the 10th-generation iPad has plummeted to its all-tine low for Black Friday at Amazon. The do-it-all iPad, this is the one I recommend for most people.

Tech critic David Phelan called the 10th-gen iPad “the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer,” praising its updated design, faster processor and bigger display. He even noted that it’s a worthy rival to the iPad Air, which usually comes with a £170 premium.

A pack of four AirTags has dropped to its lowest price since 2022
I’m going to kick things off this morning with my favourite accessory for item losers like me. A pack of four AirTags has just dropped to its lowest price since 2022 for Black Friday, and I’ve already bought a set.

If you constantly misplace your keys, wallet, or bag, the Apple AirTag is about to become your new best friend. Each AirTag works seamlessly with the Find My app, letting you track your items with pinpoint precision. I especially love the augmented reality mode, which overlays arrows onto the real world to guide you straight to your things. I’ve got an AirTag on practically everything!
