The Top 10 Best Black Friday Deals of 2026
We ranked each deal on three things: how big the saving is, how good the product is, and how rarely it goes on sale. All prices are in US dollars and were checked between November 6 and 11, 2026. Prices can change fast, so check before you buy.
1. LG 55-inch C6 OLED TV
Deal: $999 at Best Buy (was $1,999). That’s 50% off.
This is the best TV deal we found. LG’s C-series OLEDs are favourites with both reviewers and gamers, and the 2026 C6 rarely drops this low this early.
Adobe says Black Friday itself usually has the season’s lowest TV prices. So this deal could match or beat what you’d see on the day.
Best for: Movie fans and console gamers.
2. Samsung 65-inch S84H OLED TV
Deal: $899 at Best Buy (was $2,099). That’s 57% off.
This is the biggest percentage saving on our list. You get a 65-inch OLED for less than many 55-inch sets cost last year.
Best for: Big living rooms on a mid-range budget.
3. Apple AirPods Pro 3
Deal: $199 at Amazon (was $249).
Apple products rarely go on sale, so $50 off is solid. One honest note: tech columnist Jennifer Jolly points out these hit $169 on Prime Day. If you can wait until Black Friday week, a lower price may come back.
Best for: iPhone users who want noise cancelling.
Wireless earbuds and over-ear headphones on a desk during a Black Friday tech deals sale Headphones are among the most-searched Black Friday tech deals every year.
4. Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Deal: $169 at Amazon (was $359). That’s 53% off.
Comfortable, great noise cancelling and long battery life. At under $170, this is one of the best audio deals of 2026.
Best for: Commuters, travellers and open-plan offices.
5. Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M5)
Deal: $1,099 at Amazon (was $1,299).
Here’s why this matters. Apple raised prices on most Macs and iPads on June 25, 2026, blaming memory costs (Macworld). This deal takes the MacBook Air back to its starting price.
Best for: Students and anyone who wants a light, long-lasting laptop.
6. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Deal: $949, which is $450 off (Tom’s Guide, Nov 6).
Phones lose value fast, so the best phone deals come with a big cut like this one. If you trade in an old phone, you may be able to save more.
Best for: Android users who want the best camera.
7. Apple iPad 11-inch (A16)
Deal: $399 at Amazon (was $449).
It’s a small discount, but the iPad is still the easiest tablet to recommend for kids, streaming and notes.
Best for: Families and first-time tablet buyers.
8. Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1
Deal: $79 at Amazon (was $129). Tom’s Guide called it the lowest price ever on Nov 6.
It’s fast, easy to clean and big enough for a family of four. It also makes a great gift for under $100.
Best for: Quick weeknight meals.
Air fryer and kitchen appliances on a countertop for Black Friday home deals Adobe expects appliances to hit their deepest discounts on Black Friday 2026.
9. iRobot Roomba 105 Combo (Vacuum + Mop)
Deal: $169 at Amazon (was $319.99). That’s 47% off.
A robot vacuum that also mops, for less than the price of many stick vacuums. Target has it for $170 too.
Best for: Pet owners and busy homes.
10. Ring Battery Doorbell 2K
Deal: $40 at Amazon (was $100). That’s 60% off.
This is the cheapest upgrade on our list. It installs without wiring, and Target and Best Buy have it for $45.
Best for: Renters and first-time smart home buyers.

How to Spot a Real Black Friday Deal (Step by Step)
- Check the price history. Use a price tracker such as Keepa or CamelCamelCamel to see the last 90 days.
- Compare with Prime Day. If it was cheaper in July or October, wait.
- Match the category to the day. Buy TVs and appliances on Black Friday. Buy laptops on Cyber Monday (Adobe).
- Check the specs on cheap laptops. Skip 8GB RAM “doorbuster” laptops and look for 16GB or more.
- Use price matching. Best Buy and Target have holiday price guarantees.
- Be careful with BNPL. Only use buy now, pay later for things you’d buy anyway.
