Every year, the four-day sale sees an avalanche of discounts.

Until then, here’s everything you need to know about Black Friday, including the washing machine deals you can snap up right now.
What date will Black Friday washing machine deals start?
This year, the Black Friday sales officially start on Friday 29 November. The four-day event continues until the following monday (aka Cyber Monday). That being said, big names like to jump the gun and often launch some deals weeks in advance of the official dates. Last year, where home appliance retailers were concerned, Amazon, Currys and John Lewis began their discounts as early as October. Needless to say, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any early washing machine deals as the event edges closer.
What Black Friday washing machine deals can we expect in 2024?
We can only speculate when it comes to potential deals we could see on washing machines this year. However, if we look back at previous years’ offers, we can get a good idea of the sort of discounts we could expect from Black Friday 2024. For example, last year, we saw more than £100 sliced off the price of the Indesit BWA81684XKUKN washing machine (was £399, now £299, Very.co.uk), so, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for similar savings this year.
What are the best washing machine deals to shop now?
If you can’t wait until Black Friday to replace your old machine, we’ve rounded up some deals available to shop right now.
AEG 9000 absolutecare washing machine: Was £1,099, now £1,049, Currys.co.uk
There’s a small saving to be had on this tried-and-tested model, which was dubbed best for hard-water areas in our review. Our tester found fabrics came out softer, owing to a drawer into which you can add salt to soften the water. Pleased with the machine’s range of programs, our tester was especially impressed with the “absolutewash” 49-minute program, which meant they could quickly wash laundry at 30C but have it coming out as fresh and clean as if it had been run on a more intensive program.
Samsung series 8 AI energy washing machine: Was £929, now £849, Very.co.uk
Save a cool £80 on this smart washing machine from Samsung. “We tested out this machine’s 30-minute bubble soak feature with a make-up-stained white T-shirt and not a spot was left after the cycle and line drying”, our reviewer said. They were also impressed with the machine’s AI wash: “This program uses four sensors in the machine to weigh the load and check the amount of dirt on the laundry, calculate the amount of water and detergent to dispense, and the rinse time and spin speed needed.”
