The top 6 beauty deals of Black Friday, sourced by someone who tests beauty tech

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 20:38

One of the biggest advantages of being a beauty tech product tester is that I get to see firsthand if the latest multi-styler, hair dryer, or microcurrent device is worth the hype.

Combined with the experience of covering Black Friday deals for the past four years, I feel particularly well prepared to determine which beauty savings are actually worth picking up during the shopping holiday. Spoiler alert: not everything with a markdown is an exceptional deal. Plus, as someone with plenty of experience testing out the high-end products (aka basically Dyson's entire lineup) against the many dupes they inspire and seeing the latter perform well in many cases, I especially advise against adding something to your cart simply because it has the higher price tag or more recognizable brand name.

With that in mind, I've gathered the top six beauty deals from Black Friday that I've spotted so far. Find my recs (and some buying advice) below:

Dyson Supersonic Nural

I'll be the first person to say that while the Supersonic is my favorite hair tool from Dyson, it's also probably overpriced for most people, especially with all the great dupes out there (more on that below). That said, it is a nice luxury upgrade. If you're determined to pick one up this Black Friday, skip the $379 standard Supersonic and spend the extra $20 to get the Supersonic Nural on sale for $379. It has better variation in the attachments, automatic temperature adjustment with some attachments, and a much better (and more unique) diffuser. If you're interested in the Nural but that sounds too expensive, you can also grab a refurbished one at Walmart for $199.99.

$549 Save $150   Get Deal Dyson Airwrap i.d.

To be honest, I was slightly underwhelmed by the Airwrap when I first tested it out — the tech was cool, but not as easy to use as social media would have you believe. Plus, the curling barrels gave my hair more of a blown-out than truly curled look, and it fell by the end of the day. With the Dyson Airwrap i.d., the brand has addressed these issues. One of the curling barrels has a tapered design, which helped me achieve tighter, prettier, and longer-lasting curls. The other piece of the puzzle was the automatic temperature changing you can activate directly through the tool or via the Dyson app, which adjusts the heat as the hair wraps, holds around the barrel, and gets hit with the cool shot for a set amount of time. Though I anticipated it might feel gimmicky, it made styling feel way less effortful on my part.

The OG Airwrap used to go for $599 at full price, and the Airwrap i.d. is $649. However, this deal takes it down to $499.99, the same sale price found on the original Airwrap during shopping holidays (including this time around). This is still a hefty price, so if curling your hair is still a priority, I recommend checking out the T3 Aire 360 — the ceramic barrels help create and lock in curls.

$649.99 Save $150   Get Deal Shark FlexStyle

The Shark FlexStyle is the original Airwrap dupe, and still stands out as one of the best. The performance is similar enough to the Airwrap that it's what I tell my friends and family to buy when they ask whether or not they should buy a Dyson Airwrap. Multiple Mashable shopping reporters and editors have purchased the tool for themselves, and all of them sing its praises. The main difference between the Shark and the more expensive tool is that you won't get the fancy heat-adjusting cycle of the Airwrap i.d., and you have to switch out the curling barrel to change the direction of the curl. (Though as a tip, you can just flip the styler upside down to easily change the direction of the curl without changing the barrel.) For $199, it's by far the best value multi-styler. And if you want a more curated version, Shark is also offering the build-your-own model, which allows you to pick four attachments for $179.

$349.99 Save $150.99   Get Deal Laifen Swift hair dryer

Remember what I said about Dyson Supersonic dupes being worth a look? Enter: the Laifen Swift SE, one of the best Dyson dupes I've tried. It's lightweight, powerful, relatively quiet (as far as hair dryers go), and hasn't crapped out on me after years of use. And at the sale price of $97.99, it's a fraction of the cost of the Supersonic. It comes with basic attachments that do the job well. You can also pick up an even cheaper model of the dryer, the Swift SE Lite, for $71.99. It's slightly less powerful, with a shiny plastic casing (as compared to the matte one found on the regular Swift, but if you blow-dry your hair less often or simply want a more bargain option, it's also a great choice.)

$139.99 Save $42.00   Get Deal Shark FacialPro Glow

Sadly, the Shark CryoGlow and FlexFusion bundle deal that cropped up ahead of Black Friday didn't manage to stay in stock, but you can still grab the Shark FacialPro Glow for $50 off. In her first impressions review of the device, Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart wrote, "the Shark FacialPro Glow literally felt like it was pumping life back into my skin. It felt so soft and plump after just a single extraction session at night and a single de-puffing session the next morning, and even that feels like a testament to its effectiveness."

Shark FacialPro Glow $349 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $50.99   See It at Amazon T3 Curling Straightener

I had the chance to test out T3's Curling Straightener when it launched earlier this year, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed using it. As someone who primarily curls their hair with a regular straightening iron, I was skeptical that the rounded edges and cool tip would do much in the way of ease and styling results, but on both fronts T3's hot tool performed better than a standard straightener, adding more volume and versatility in how I could style my hair. As a newer product, it hasn't gone on sale often, and at $139.99, it's hit a new record-low price.

I’m replaying Tomb Raider for the 100th time, and these PS5 Black Friday deals are fueling my habit

I’m not a "hardcore" gamer. I don’t spend eight hours a day online, and I’m definitely not competing in any tournaments. But I do play my PS5 every single day — usually for about 15 minutes right before dinner to decompress. Lately, I’ve been replaying the entire Tomb Raider trilogy (I’m on the third one now, and it holds up), but I also love the classics like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and Kingdom Hearts.

Because I’m actually buying games and accessories for my own setup (and for my nephews this holiday), I tend to keep an eye on these prices throughout the year, so I know when a "deal" is actually just the standard price in a fancy font.

I’ve combed through the Black Friday ads from Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and PlayStation Direct to find the discounts that are actually worth it. Here are the best PS5 deals live right now.

Read our full Astro Bot review.

I didn't know anything about Astro until my dad asked me if I'd "found the secret game in the PS5" yet. Once I found Astro's Playroom (the free game pre-installed on every console), I spent all night playing it and bought the full Astro Bot game as soon as it came out. It’s pure joy in game form — creative, colorful, and genuinely fun to play. (It won Game of the Year at the 2024 Game Awards.) My youngest nephew, Aubry, is obsessed with it; he literally has posters of the little bot in his room and begs to play it every time he comes over.

First-party Sony titles tend to hold their value, so seeing it drop this low is a win. You can grab it for $39.97 at Amazon, but if you want to save every penny, it's slightly cheaper at $39.59 at PlayStation Direct.

It's not often we see a deal on PlayStation Plus, but the mega gaming company must know we need a treat in 2025, so they're offering a 33% discount. To snag this deal, you'll need to sign up before Dec. 5 for any level of annual PlayStation Plus membership. The subscription gives payers access to hundreds of games from the Gaming Catalog, online multiplayer access, and tons more.

If you’re looking for a "big gift" for the serious gamer in your life, the DualSense Edge is a solid option. I bought this controller for my eldest nephew, Landon, last Christmas, and he loved it. It’s the "pro" version of the standard controller, meaning it has customizable buttons, swappable stick modules (a lifesaver for stick drift), and adjustable triggers. It doesn't usually go on sale (unless it's Prime Day or holiday season), so saving $31 is a pretty good deal. You can grab it for $169 at Amazon, or for essentially the same price ($169.99) directly from PlayStation.

If you don’t need all the pro features, the standard DualSense Wireless Controller is also on sale for $54.99 at both Amazon and PlayStation. My mom bought the pink one for my sister last year, and it’s a perfect, practical gift for anyone who needs a spare.

We’re skipping the PS5 Pro this year — at $649 without a disc drive or stand, it’s a hard sell for anyone who isn't a hardcore pixel-peeper. Instead, I recommend getting the standard PS5 Slim Disc Edition. You'll get the same great library of games, 4K graphics, and lightning-fast load times, plus the ability to actually play discs (because sometimes you just want to pop in a Blu-ray or a used game you found cheap). It’s currently $449.99 at both Amazon and PlayStation Direct, saving you a cool $50.

It's time to carve the turkey, eat all the pies, and then get down to holiday shopping. Thankfully, the Black Friday deals are coming in hot. All the major retailers have launched their Black Friday sales events, and we're seeing record-low prices across the board on some of the best gifts like Kindles, noise-cancelling headphones, and Apple devices.

If you've been hoping to snag an Apple Watch for yourself or give one to someone truly special, then check out the year's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals. While we have Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're not expecting to see further price drops on these Apple smartwatches.

Keep in mind, we don't typically see the Apple store offer fantastic deals during Black Friday. This year, the Apple Store is offering a $250 gift card with certain purchases. But Mashable only recommends taking advantage of this deal if you're buying any of the five particular deals we find worthy at the Apple store, and none of those include an Apple Watch. To help you out, we've scouted out the lowest prices on every Apple Watch model for Black Friday 2025, and now you can save up to $200 on these popular gadgets.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is on sale for $339 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's a full $60 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 11, Stan Schroeder said it "isn't all that different from last year's model, but it has a significantly longer battery life, and that's a huge deal."

Need a rugged watch that can keep up with adventures? The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a solid model, especially given its early Black Friday sale price of $599 at Amazon. That takes $200 off the usual price. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with some upgrades that are great for outdoors, and it's perfect for fitness enthusiasts, with a lengthy battery life that you'll appreciate when you're out and about.

What about the Apple Watch Ultra 3? Sadly, the latest Apple Ultra is not on sale, but lucky for you, as long as you upgrade to watchOS 26, the Ultra 2 has 99% of the same features.

If you're in the market for a new Apple Watch but don't want to spend big money, the 2nd-generation Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm) just got a price cut at Walmart, where it's available for $129 for a limited time only.

Apple has moved on to the Apple Watch SE 3 (which is also on sale), but that means you can snag great discounts on the previous model, and today is a solid case in point. But the older model is still great, offering tons of Apple Watch essentials like sleep tracking, fitness metrics, fall detection, and emergency SOS. Since this model is on sale for only $129, it could be a great gifting option or perfect for those new to the wonderful world of smartwatches.

I test headphones for a living — these are the 15 best Black Friday deals

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 20:06
Best Black Friday headphones and earbuds deals Best noise-cancelling headphones deal Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones $248 (save $151.99) Get Deal Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 $222.99 (save $77) Get Deal Best deal under $100 Sony WH-CH720N $88 (save $91.99) Get Deal Best budget deal JLab JBuds Lux ANC $27 (save $52.99) Get Deal Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods 4 $69 (save $60) Get Deal

I pretty much spend every day I'm at work testing out headphones and earbuds, which means I've become well-versed in which headphones are actually worth your money.

This year has been an especially noteworthy year for headphones, with flagship releases from Sony, Bose, and Bowers & Wilkins. Flagship headphones are often the ones that get recommended on best of lists — ours included — but considering the new norm for a starting price is $449, they're not exactly the most affordable choice out there. Enter: Black Friday deals, when tech deals abound.

SEE ALSO: Mashable will send the best Black Friday deals directly to your phone — how it works

As of Nov. 27, I've spotted some especially noteworthy headphones and earbuds on sale — all of which Mashable has recommended in some capacity. In this case, a noteworthy deal is not simply something on sale. In fact, I've only selected deals that are actually great Black Friday deals (and not easy to grab on sale at other times of year).

For instance, I didn't add the second generation Bose QC Ultra earbuds to this list when they were on sale for $249 — they hit that price in September, and have returned to it since (before Black Friday deals kicked off). However, with the start of Black Friday sales, they've dipped down to $216, making them a deal worth mentioning as truly one of the best.

As we approach Black Friday proper on Nov. 28, more headphones have been going on sale . Throughout it all, I've been scouring the savings to come with with this selection of the 15 best headphones and earbuds deals live for Black Friday.

One of the most comfortable pairs of noise-cancelling headphones Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones $298 at Amazon
$429 Save $131   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Get Deal at Walmart

The first time I put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones on, I knew they were the most comfortable headphones I'd ever worn (Mashable's Samantha Mangino had a similar experience). That belief became even firmer over years of use (and testing them against new competitors). Although the new second-generation headphones feel ever so slightly more comfortable, the originals still hold up.

SEE ALSO: We tested every pair of Bose headphones and earbuds. We found 5 we love, and 1 to buy on sale.

On sale for $299, they're a much better value than the $449 second-gen Ultras. Their main quirks include no passive playback and the occasional difficulty pairing to more than one device. However, when I compared them directly against their newer counterpart, I found the ANC and sound to be very similar. This is a great deal, and people are taking notice — these headphones have already sold out at Amazon in a couple of colorways.

Earbuds designed for quiet and long wear time Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) $216 at Amazon
$299 Save $83   Get Deal at Amazon

As I mentioned in the intro, despite being a relatively new release, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) have gone on sale a couple times, dropping down to $249 in select colorways. For Black Friday, not only are all the colorways on sale, but now select ones have dropped even lower, bringing these earbuds to a record-low price of $216.

SEE ALSO: Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds 2 are one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds available, but not a must-upgrade

I get that sale or not, over $200 is a hefty investment for a pair of earbuds. To that, I would say if you're someone looking for something you can wear all day, and prioritize top of the line noise cancellation above all else, these earbuds will be worth it for you. The fit keeps them secure without causing soreness, and helps seal you into a place of quiet that, along with the ANC, rivals many over-ear headphones I've tested.

Bose's latest flagship headphones Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones (2nd gen) $399 at Amazon
$449 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

While the QC Ultras are one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones out there, the second generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones take the top spot. They also come with some nice quality of life upgrades, including a 30 hour battery life, passive playback support, lossless audio support with the USB-C cable, and an upgrade to their design with new colorways and a shiny metal accent. They're maybe not upgrade-worthy if you already own the first gen headphones, but if it's your first foray into the QC Ultra line, grabbing these headphones for their price drop drop ever (and a pretty solid one at that), is a smart buy.

Sony headphones that still sound incredible Sony WH-1000XM5 $248 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $151.99   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon

The thing about Sony flagship headphones is that they're going to sound incredible. With the release of the XM6s, the WH-1000XM5 headphones are the former flagship headphones, but their sound profile remains one of the best in the game. I particularly like the "find your equalizer" feature that guides the less audiophile inclined among us through the process of finding their perfect custom EQ sound, which really helps these headphones shine. More generally speaking, when I tested the XM6s and XM5s head-to-head, I didn't find any huge discrepancies in performance. Plus, the XM6s got a $50 price bump to their list price, meaning that even if they were to get a $50 price drop over Black Friday (a markdown we've only spotted once before), they'll still be $150 more than the XM5s at this price point.

And Sony's latest flagship headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 $398 at Amazon
$459.99 Save $61.99   Get Deal at Amazon

While these are still $150 more than the XM5s, it is worth mentioning that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are down to their lowest price ever at $398. It's certainly possible that their price will drop even further next week, but I've also seen Sony stick to their initial discounts in past shopping holidays. If you want the best sound Sony (and most brands, tbh) has to offer, industry-leading ANC, and ear cups that fold in (a convenient feature for travelers), then the XM6's are an excellent choice. In his review, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "if you want best-in-class noise-cancelling headphones and pristine audio quality, the headphones deliver."

Mid-range headphones for under $100 Sony WH-CH720N $88 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $91.99   See It at Amazon

Noise-cancelling headphones with great sound quality from a reputable brand don't need to cost several hundred dollars, and the Sony WH-CH720N are proof of exactly that. Mashable named them Sony's best headphones under $100, with Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti singing their praises after two years of use. He deemed their sound quality "near flagship" level, and was impressed by the 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, which beats out the current flagship models of both Bose and Sony.

Though you can often find them on sale for $98 (a feat on its own, considering their $179.99 list price), it's slightly less common to find them on sale for $88, making this a great deal ahead of Black Friday. As an added bonus, the pink colorway is more unique than you might find from other budget headphones options under $100.

The best sounding open earbuds Bose Ultra Open earbuds $199 at Amazon
$299 Save $100   Get Deal at Amazon

Open earbuds are great if you prefer staying somewhat aware of the world around you, but in my experience, that can come in the form of less-than-stellar sound quality. In the case of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, you get the best of both worlds. I suspect that's a large part of the reason behind their $299 price tag (which admittedly feels more appropriate for noise-cancelling earbuds). That's why I recommend them as an upgrade pick for open earbuds, and why I'm an especially big fan of this $100 off deal. In addition to their surprisingly rich sound, I especially like their small charging case, smartly placed on-ear controls, comfortable clip-on design, and many options for colorways.

Excellent mid-range noise-cancelling earbuds Bose QuietComfort earbuds $129 at Amazon
$179 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

Rounding out my picks is maybe the most underrated Bose product — the QuietComfort earbuds. Though their design isn't the most elegant, that's pretty much where their underwhelming features end. For starters, these earbuds have incredible battery life — in my weeks of testing them, I rarely had to charge them, and easily squeezed in a five-hour day of use, with ANC on and battery life to spare.

Sound and noise-cancellation-wise, they don't wow quite as much as the QC Ultra earbuds, but they're also significantly cheaper, even at full price. For their $129 sale price, they're less than half the price of the premium earbuds, and I promise, their performance doesn't reflect that. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say there's more of a $50 to $75 performance discrepancy between the two earbuds, which is why we've named these the best mid-budget earbuds currently on the market. Though we've seen them drop to $129 before, it is their lowest price ever, making this a great grab ahead of Black Friday.

I don't know if it's possible a more affordable headphones deal will pop up this Black Friday. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones, already a solid value at full price, are an even better value at their usual sale price of about $40, and a downright steal at this new Black Friday price (and new record low) of $27. This beats Amazon's deal by over $12, and last year's Black Friday pricing by $2. When I tested these headphones, I was surprised by their battery life, along with how solid their sound and ANC performed, as well as the extensive customizability on their app. Mashable's Haley Henschel owns these headphones, and appreciates their comfort. They're our favorite budget headphones and one of our top picks for students for a reason.

The best earbuds for working out Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 $199.95 at Walmart
$414.62 Save $214.67   Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Amazon

When I first tried out the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, I wasn't sure I'd like them all that much, as I had trouble finding how to properly put them on with the ear hook (my colleague Sam Mangino had a similar experience). However, there's a reason they say first impressions aren't everything — after we both found the right ear tip size and got through this small learning curve, we fell in love with these earbuds. So Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti, who gave them a Mashable Choice Award in his review.

This consensus made these an easy pick for the best earbuds for working out: though their ANC isn't the best, it's present, the ear hook keeps the buds in place without being uncomfortable, the sound is rich, the on-ear controls reliable and perfect for using mid-workout, and the built-in heart rate monitor is a convenient feature, especially if you don't already own a fitness tracker. Though they've hit this sale price before, they don't go on sale often, so I recommend grabbing them while you can.

A (better) AirPods Max alternative

Mashable loved the Beats Studio Pro when they first dropped in 2023, and after testing them again in 2025 against the rest of the Beats lineup, we found that they held up. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti compared them to another Apple over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, saying the Beats Studio Pro have a lot of overlap in features with AirPods, making the Beats a much better bang for your buck. The Studio Pro have better battery life (24 hours compared to the AirPods' 20), and according to Bracetti, better sound quality and similar ANC. The AirPods Max are currently on sale for $429.99, meaning you could buy two pairs of these Beats and still have $30 left over.

This deal in particular applies to the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian model, which at the time of writing are $20 cheaper than the regular Studio Pros' sale price (which just feature different colorway options).

Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian $149.95 at Amazon
$349.95 Save $200   See It at Amazon ANC headphones with 60 hours of battery life

Many popular flagship headphones have roughly 30 hours of battery life, which makes the whopping 60 hours of battery life found on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 all the more impressive. (And yes, that's with ANC on). This feature certainly made them a standout to us, and earned them the spot of Mashable's favorite headphones with long battery life, but that wasn't the only place they wowed.

When I tested these headphones out, trying to wear down that mammoth battery life felt like marginally less of a chore because of their excellent sound quality. The ANC stood out less than competitors, and the touch controls were on the sensitive side, but the companion app added enough customizability that it was never a real problem. I also appreciate that even with both pairs on sale, these headphones are cheaper than the Dyson OnTrac headphones, their only real competition for battery life. (And in my opinion, the Sennheisers have a much more elegant design). At $199.95, these headphones are just a couple dollars away from their lowest price ever, and in a price range I've typically only seen around the holiday season.

Indicators that Black Friday week is absolutely in full swing? The price drop on the Apple AirPods 4. It was already great to see them drop down to $79 — their former lowest price ever — earlier this month, but Amazon outdid itself before Black Friday even started. These earbuds have dropped to an impressive $69, bringing them down to yet another record low. I'd be surprised if their price drops much further, so if you're an Apple user who doesn't need earbuds with ANC, it'll be hard to beat this deal.

The Raycon Everyday Earbuds may have made a name for themselves through many a YouTube sponsorship, but after testing them out for myself, I can personally verify that these are really solid budget earbuds. These are the perfect option for anyone who wants the basics done well, without the hassle of any setup. They come sans companion app (and a button for Bluetooth), but they pair easily as soon as they're powered on, and be controlled entirely by the tactile on-ear controls.

Both their sound quality and ANC are solid, they come with eight hours of charge with ANC on (the same as the AirPods Pro 3), and six gel tips for finding the perfect fit. If you're looking for budget headphones with a few more extras, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are also on sale — although they're a great value, they do drop down to this price point year-round, making them a less impressive Black Friday deal.

$79.99 Save $24.00   Get Deal The best earbuds for sound

Maybe the biggest flaw of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds is that they rarely go on sale. With this Black Friday deal, these earbuds aren't just getting a rare price cut, but down to their absolute lowest price ever. In his review of the earbuds, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth pointed to their audio quality as their standout feature, writing, "While Bose retains an edge on overall comfort, I'm not aware of any wireless earbuds in the world that offer better, fuller, more accurate sound."

In addition to the excellent sound quality, these earbuds come equipped with top notch adaptive ANC, three-way multipoint pairing that works without a hitch, LDAC support, and a premium design with metal accenting on the earbuds and case.

As a tech editor, I found 40+ Black Friday tech deals Id recommend to friends and family: Apple, Samsung, DJI, Nintendo on sale

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 19:53

As Mashable's tech editor, I get early access to a lot of really cool products. I also have a pretty deep knowledge of the coolest new gadgets of 2025, from the latest virtual reality tech to everyday fitness trackers and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which deals you can safely skip.

In this guide, you'll find all the best Black Friday tech deals I'd actually recommend to my friends and family. Before recommending a Samsung QLED TV or Anker charger, I'll first make sure that the price is actually a good deal. Online retailers are notorious for exaggerating their sales, but I've done the work for you to find the biggest genuine discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond.

Keep checking back as I add new discounts on the season's best new gadgets, toys, wearables, and tech gifts. I've personally tested many of the products in this guide, while others have been tested by other Mashable reporters. If you see a deal in this story, it's because I'd truly recommend that product — and at that price — to my loved ones.

My favorite Kindle

I literally collect rare books, so when I tell you I'm a book nerd, you can believe me. And this is the Kindle that stores my digital library — the Kindle Paperwhite. For Black Friday, it's on sale for $124.99, but I actually recommend paying a little more for the version without lockscreen ads. That way, you'll see gorgeous black-and-white photos on the lockscreen instead of ads for romantasy books I'll never read.

$159.99 Save $35.00 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal The Apple Watch SE 3

Apple just launched the new version of its starter smartwatch in September, and it's already earned a spot in my guide to the best smartwatches of the year. The truth is, while we also loved the longer-lasting Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra Watch 3, the new SE 3 is the right pick for the vast majority of people. This is a true lifestyle smartwatch that also does double duty as a fitness and sleep tracker. Plus, it even has an always-on Retina OLED display. At Amazon, you can pick up this smartwatch for $199.99, a 20% discount ahead of the holiday shopping season.

$249 Save $50 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones

Bose recently released a new version of its flagship noise-canceling headphones, and in our review, we said the new model is nearly identical to the original. However, the new version will set you back $449, which is a big ask in this economy. Meanwhile, the Gen 1 version on sale for $298 is still one of the best, most comfortable headphones in the world. While it's possible these headphones might get a bigger price drop come Nov. 28, don't count on it. I love these headphones, and this is easily one of the best Prime Day tech deals of the year so far.

Editor's note: These headphones are almost sold out!

Alexa informed me that New York City faces its first freeze warning of the season, and now I'm mad at her. However, I do have something to keep the chill away. I've been using and recommending these cute electric hand warmers for years, and they're one of my favorite undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're one of my go-to stocking stuffers, and they'll keep your hands toasty and warm all winter long. If you're looking for tech deals under $25, this is my personal recommendation.

Have you heard about the upcoming ban on DJI drones? If not, then we have very bad news: DJI drones are almost certainly set to be banned in the U.S. by year's end, which means this is your last chance to buy one. So long as you're already flying, the potential ban shouldn't affect you, a DJI representative recently told me. Unfortunately, you can only buy these drones from third-party sellers at retailers like Amazon, but we think the risk is worth the reward in this case.

$299 Save $60 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal Samsung's famous art TV

I've said it before: Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, The Frame, is the best TV in the world. This super-thin TV doubles as an art gallery for your living room, adding to your home's decor instead of distracting from it. The 2025 model of The Frame has a fancy new AI processor, as well as a magic-like matte, anti-glare display. While you can catch this TV on sale at any retailer you like, Amazon currently has the best price.

We think the M4 MacBook Pro is the best MacBook for most people, and this is a fantastic price for a 2025 model Apple laptop. Powered by M4 silicon, it's also lightning fast. The M4 chip is faster than anything you'll find in the Windows world, which means this laptop is faster and more efficient than the competition. Its $749 price at Amazon is a record discount, and we're not expecting the price to drop any lower (though Apple could surprise us).

Amazon isn't our go-to destination for laptops, but for Black Friday, they have a great deal on a popular Copilot+ PC. This Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has never been priced below $500 before now, and you can save 36% on the retail price at Amazon. Unlike most laptops at Amazon, this PC isn't sold by a sketchy third-party seller — it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. It also has very impressive specs for an under-$500 laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon X chip.

Released in 2024 as part of a collaboration with Kim Kardashian (don't let that stop you from scoring a great deal), it plays well with Android and iOS devices. Alternatively, you can pick up the

If you're a content creator or vlogger, then you've probably heard of DJI's famous pocket mics, currently 45% off at Amazon. These wireless mics replace the awkward wired lavaliers of the past, and they clip on to your shirt or collar magnetically. There's a reason you can spot these microphones all over TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. I've personally tested these microphones, and they've been a huge help to the Mashable video team at live events.

Look, the best Black Friday deals aren't always super exciting. This is your chance to stock up on products you need. Case in point: Apple AirTags are currently 50 cents away from their lowest-ever price. At Amazon, a 4-pack is 34% off, and you'll pay just $16.25 per tracker. Using ultra-wideband technology and Apple's Find My network, there's no better way to track lost items.

If you're looking for a premium robot vacuum and mop combo, try the Eufy S1 Pro, which has a roller mop, self-cleaning, self-drying, and a 50% discount. Our vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, has also been impressed by the Eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum and Mop, which she named one of the best cleaning machines of the year.

As much as I love Samsung's The Frame, I know not everyone can afford to drop $1,000 on a new TV. Fortunately, you can count on Black Friday doorbuster deals if you need a TV on the cheap. And now that big box retailers start all their Black Friday sales early, you don't have to wait in line on Thanksgiving night. Over at Amazon and Best Buy, you can grab smart TVs starting at just $99.

Access everything from Amazon's Prime Video to Apple TV and Spotify using this affordable streaming stick from Roku. You'll still have to pay for all those apps, but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a new TV.

This is the ultimate splurge this holiday season — Samsung's new AR/VR headset, the Galaxy XR. It's Samsung's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, and it's significantly more affordable, though still extremely pricey. If you buy the device during the holiday shopping season, Samsung will throw in $1,140 worth of freebies, including a year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass. You'll also get access to exclusive XR experiences and more premium apps. This offer ends Dec. 31.

Over the summer, it was almost impossible to find the new Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. While we haven't found any official discounts on the Switch 2 console yet, you can find some Switch 2 bundles in stock at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. We expect this handheld to top many Christmas gift wishlists this year, so grab these while you can.

I've tested several Jackery Explorer power stations over the years, and I've never had a bad experience. The brand helped popularize this product category in the United States, and it's easy to see why. They make rugged power stations that are easy to use, have a variety of ports, and connect easily to your devices (not to mention solar panels, if you have them). If you live in fear of the power going out — or just want to charge your phone during a camping trip or tailgate — these devices are a must-have.

Just like Bose, Sony also released a sequel to its flagship headphones this year. The new XM6 headphones are elite, truly. But having tested them against the previous-gen XM5 model, I'm strongly recommending you buy the XM5s now that they're finally back on sale. Here's the truth: They're more alike than different. And right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $248, a record-low price. Compare that to the $428 price tag on the new model, and your choice is simple.

For Black Friday, this smartwatch got its first-ever discount.

If you want to buy a robot vacuum during Prime Day, then we recommend steering clear of Roomba. I've already recommended Eufy's popular budget and mid-range vacuums, but if you're looking for the best of the best, our favorite robot vacuum of the year is currently on sale. Our resident robot vacuum tester has tested so many robot vacuums, and this year, none outperformed the Roborock Saros 10R, a robot vacuum and mop combo. With sophisticated mapping, mopping, self-cleaning, and obstacle avoidance, it does it all. It can even act as a pet camera.

With 128GB of storage and instant access to over 40 games, this early Black Friday tech deal lets you discover an entirely new type of gaming. Though, personally, I prefer to use VR for watching 3D movies and other types of VR video content.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 has gone on sale for as little as $864.49 in the past, but it's currently on sale for $799.99. That's a new all-time low and a great price on this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This is the gaming laptop you'll find on my own desk right now, and it's a good entry-level model.

We're big fans of Oura smart rings at Mashable, and the brand's Black Friday sale officially started, knocking $100 off its Oura Ring 4.

We love Kindles here at Mashable, and we've tested them all. I already told you my personal favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, but the truth is all of Amazon's e-readers are fantastic. For bargain hunters, the best deals on Kindles are the basic Kindle and the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon's basic Kindle is a perfectly pocket-sized device that reached its lowest price ever of $79.99, while the Kindle Colorsoft got an astounding price cut down to $169.99, the first time the device has ever dipped under $200.

As much as we hype up Kindles, you can't forget there are other e-readers out there. The only brand that can truly compete is Kobo, which makes a delightful collection of color e-readers. Ahead of Black Friday, the only Kobo on sale is the Libra Colour, which is our favorite color e-reader. It's down to $199.99, back down to the low price it was during Black Friday 2024.

Apple has given every iPad an update in the past year, the latest of which was the iPad Pro with M5 chip. The best Black Friday deal on iPads is on the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. It's back down to its lowest price ever of $449, making it an affordable yet powerful device. With the latest iPadOS, the iPad Air is closer to a laptop than ever, but still a fraction of the cost. This is another device I've personally tested and highly recommend, especially at this price.

Mashable's Christianna Silva just wore seven fitness trackers while training for the NYC marathon and determined that the Whoop MG was the best overall pick for marathon training. But even for the average Joe, it's a smart pickup, not to mention our favorite sleep tracker. During Black Friday, Whoop 5.0 and MG trackers are 17%, getting you up to $40 or $60 off.

I write about all things laptops here at Mashable, and after spending hours digging through tech retailers' Black Friday sales, I'm delighted by the deals I'm seeing so far. A bunch of the best laptops we've tested are now on sale at steep discounts. That includes my top picks for most people, plus some more niche options in the budget, OLED, ultraportable, gaming, and dual-screen categories. You're not just saving a ton of money on laptops this holiday season — you're saving a ton of money on some truly great laptops.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more

Black Friday always coaxes out some of the best laptop deals of the whole year, so no surprises here. It's partly because retailers know that people are looking for good, giftable buys ahead of the holidays, but it's also because they're trying to offload their current inventories ahead of next-gen refreshes at the start of the following year. Enter: Record-low prices on MacBooks, Windows laptops, gaming PCs, and Chromebooks. Voila: An upgrade that's normally out of your budget is suddenly affordable.

Below, I've detailed the 14 top Black Friday laptop deals I've scouted so far. I've only picked the models that I'd happily add to my own cart if I was in the market for a new PC — they've all been tested and vetted by the Mashable team.

The M4 Apple MacBook Airs

Apple's latest MacBook Air is lightweight, quiet, and faster than 83% of the laptops in our entire testing database — it's a really impressive ultraportable. The 15-inch model is my top pick for most people, but the 13-inch model is great for college students and other users who want something a little cheaper and more portable. Both sizes were regularly on sale on Amazon for $200 off earlier this fall, and I really didn't think they'd get any cheaper at this point in their life cycles (considering they're still well under a year old). Shockingly, they're now $250 off at Amazon and Best Buy.

The all-new MacBook Pro is my splurge pick if you want an Apple laptop with even more power, a brighter 120Hz display, more ports for creative work, and crazy-good stamina. (At 21 hours and 17 minutes, it has the longest battery life of any MacBook we've ever tried.) It debuted in mid-October at a starting price of $1,599 to a rave review from our tech editor. Right now, the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is just $1,399 at Amazon and Best Buy — a whopping $200 off. That's a massive discount on a brand-spanking-new laptop.

$1,599 Save $200   Get Deal A refurbished 13-inch M2 Apple MacBook Air

If you're in the market for a dirt-cheap-but-not-too-outdated MacBook, Best Buy has a refurbished 13-inch M2 MacBook Air from 2022 on sale for just $499.99. Walmart is selling the older M1 model for $549 as part of its Black Friday programming, so this is a genuine steal. It has a better 1080p FaceTime camera, a lighter design, and a bigger, brighter, display compared to its predecessor, and it runs about 15% faster. Since it only comes with 8GB of RAM, it's best suited for simple everyday tasks like web browsing and sending emails.

UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2025, 1:10 p.m. EST This deal was sold out at the time of writing, but Best Buy could revive it sometime later this Cyber Weekend. You can sign up for restock notifications on its product page.

Microsoft's current flagship laptop is a well-rounded machine with a virtually unrivaled 23-hour battery life, speedy everyday performance, amazing build quality, and an elegant, lightweight design. The 13.8-inch model with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU is my favorite Windows laptop for most people, and the silver model with my ideal daily driver setup (16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage) is down to an all-time low of $869.99 for Black Friday 2025. It usually sells for $1,399.99, so you're saving 38%. Meanwhile, it's $999.99 at Best Buy and on Microsoft's website.

This $699.99 Windows laptop wowed me with its 17-hour battery life, great mix of ports, relatively lightweight frame, 120Hz touchscreen, and peppy performance. (It's the fastest sub-$900 laptop we've reviewed.) Amazon has it on sale for just $449.99, or 36% off.

The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low.

If you can shell out an extra $250, you'll get an even nicer OLED display in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. It has a higher 3K resolution than the Zenbook A14, a better 90Hz refresh rate, and added touchscreen capabilities. It's a teensy bit faster, too, and it doesn't sacrifice much battery life — I got almost 20 hours out of it in my testing. Best Buy currently sells the base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $799.99, down from its usual price of $1,299.99. A 1TB version is available on Lenovo's website for $929.99, or 27% off.

The AMD-powered Lenovo LOQ 15 is "the perfect starter gaming laptop," says Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth; he's been working through his first Cyberpunk 2077 run on an RTX 5060 configuration. I can't find that one listed anywhere, but this RTX 5050 model is on sale for just $799.99 during Lenovo's Black Friday sale (or 33% off). It should be capable of running most graphically demanding AAA games at 60fps on a 1080p resolution. It features a 144Hz refresh rate and a spacious anti-ghosting backlit keyboard, plus a healthy terabyte of storage.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the ultimate non-gamey gaming laptop: With a 3.3-pound, 0.6-inch thin aluminum design and a beautiful 3K OLED display, it could easily be confused with a silver MacBook Pro. We tested an AMD model with RTX 4060 graphics last year, and I found the next-gen version on sale for only $1,299.99 at Best Buy. It usually retails for $1,799.99, so you pocket $500 in savings.

The Alienware 16X Aurora is my favorite gaming laptop for most people. It's an excellent mid-ranger featuring a 2.5K 240Hz matte display, a satisfying keyboard with one-zone RGB backlighting, and an attractive, port-packed design. The $1,999.99 variant I tested has a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage, and it's not on sale just yet. However, the same model with double the storage is only $1,649.99 on Dell's website (normally $2,099.99). That beats a competing deal at Best Buy by $50.

If you need more screen space than a regular laptop offers but don't love the idea of hauling around a separate monitor, allow me to introduce you to the latest Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It's a gorgeous dual-screen laptop with twin 2.8K 120Hz OLED displays, a smooth detachable keyboard, and a zippy processor. (It's actually slightly speedier than an M4 MacBook Pro.)

This laptop is usually priced at $2,079.99, but Lenovo has it on sale for just $1,559.99 — a 25% savings. It's a better value than ever, especially when you add the fact that its matching mouse, stylus, keyboard case, and protective sleeve case are all included.

Lenovo's convertible Chromebook Plus is my favorite Chromebook for most buyers because of its stellar build quality, decent performance, great speakers, and nice keyboard. There are two configurations available for $599: One with an Intel Core i5-1334U processor and 256GB of storage (which we tested), and another with a less powerful Intel Core i3-1315U processor and 128GB of storage. The latter is obviously a worse value at full price, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $349 (or $250 off), making it a great option for budget shoppers with basic needs.

I've tried the Best Buy-exclusive configuration that has 12GB of memory and a 120Hz touchscreen display, which retails for $699, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's overkill for most Chromebook users, sure, but it's definitely worth considering if you want a high-end, super-future-proofed model — especially now that it's $100 off for Black Friday. It's never been on sale before.

Why file managers were once a dealbreaker (and why nobody cares about them anymore)

How-To Geek - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 19:30

There was a time when pretty much everyone installed a file manager app on their Android phone or tablet. I used to mess around with files in the root directory (remember build.prop?) and access my FTP servers all the time. However, it’s been ages since I installed one of these apps or saw anyone else use them. What happened?

Black Friday Fire Tablet deals: Amazon brought back the $45 tablet for Thanksgiving

Amazon's entire lineup of Fire tablets is on sale during its Black Friday Week savings event (live now through Nov. 28), and most of them have fallen to their lowest prices ever. One model is actually cheaper now than it was during Amazon's two Prime Day sales in July and October — that's the Fire 7 Kids, which is an absolute steal at $44.99. It's a great gift under $50 for little tykes ages 3 to 7.

At present, the only two holdouts are the Fire Max 11 and the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro. They're still $30 and $10 away from their all-time lows, respectively. We'll continue to monitor their pricing throughout Cyber Weekend in case they get cheaper, so check back later.

The Mashable Choice Award-winning Fire HD 10 is a great pick if you're looking for a lightweight tablet that's easy on the wallet.

The 3 best Black Friday gaming monitor deals that will level up your setup

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 19:15
The best Black Friday gaming monitor deals at a glance: LG 45-Inch Ultragear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor $896.99 (save $803) Get Deal ASUS 32-inch ROG Swift 4K OLED Gaming Monitor $899 (save $400) Get Deal Samsung 49-inch Odyssey OLED G9 Curved Gaming Monitor $898 (save $427) Get Deal

'Tis the season for a gaming upgrade. Gaming hardware generally comes with a bit of sticker shock, but Black Friday is the perfect excuse to grab those big-ticket purchases — like OLED monitors — for less.

Just like a good TV can enhance your cinematic experience, making the switch to an OLED gaming monitor can completely transform your gaming experience. If your current setup feels a bit lifeless, it's a great time to upgrade. Some major contenders are on sale for record-low prices and we've rounded up our favorites below. Be sure to check out our full list of gaming discounts and follow along with all of our coverage in Mashable's Black Friday hub to score the best deals of the season.

Curved monitors take some getting used to, but once you've enjoyed the immersive gaming experience they deliver, you likely won't go back. The 45-inch LG Ultragear OLED's WQHD display features a steep 800R curvature and 21:9 aspect ratio, which means the screen will quite literally wrap the action around you. It packs a peak brightness up to 1,300 nits, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time, so gameplay is fast, smooth, and vibrant. It's also compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync and offers plenty of ports for your gaming peripherals. Usually an outrageous $1,699.99, it's down to only $896.99 for Black Friday. That's nearly 50% in savings.

If you want something that takes up a bit less desktop real estate, the 32-inch ASUS ROG Swift gaming monitor is another standout for Black Friday. At $899, it's a full $400 off its regular list price of $1,299 and down to a new record low. Like the LG monitor, it also boasts a refresh rate of 240Hz and a response time of 0.03ms for smooth, lag-free gameplay, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync for tear-free visuals and low latency. It supports a range of aspect ratios between 24.5 inches and 27 inches, so you can select what works best for specific games. FWIW, our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it a "near-perfect 4K OLED gaming display."

Our favorite ultrawide gaming monitor, the massive 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 features an 1800R curvature and 32:9 aspect ratio that essentially wraps around your entire head. It may be overkill for casuals, but if you're looking for the most immersive gameplay you can get, this bad boy is your best bet. While the curve is the main attraction, it's not the only perk this monitor offers. It also features high-quality visuals with a 5,120 x 1,440 pixel display, a solid 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, 110 pixels per inch, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and HDR support, and the ability to use it as a two-in-one display. Usually listed for over $1,300, this Black Friday deal knocks it down below $900. That matches its best price ever.

Black Friday starts in less than 24 hours. But as in years past, plenty of deals started rolling in, starting in early November. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised how many big price drops we're already seeing on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.

Whether you want to gear up for cold weather adventures, stock up for next spring, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We'll be tracking all of the best outdoor deals below as we get closer to Black Friday and update the list with any new price drops.

Plus, we're seeing some popular favorites get the real deal treatment — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro.

A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs.

Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal drops it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy.

I test vacuums for a living, and I found the 6 best Roomba Black Friday deals (plus 3 to avoid) this year

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 18:52
The best early Black Friday deals on Roombas at a glance Best budget Roomba deal iRobot Roomba 105 Combo + AutoEmpty dock $249.99 (Save $200 at iRobot) Get Deal Best mopping Roomba deal with self-washing mop pads iRobot Roomba Plus 405 $399.00 at Amazon (Save $100 at Amazon) Get Deal

So, you're wondering if you should buy a Roomba on Black Friday. The good news is that most of the 2025 Roombas will hit new record-low sale prices during Black Friday. The bad news is that those 2025 Roombas haven't exactly been selling well this year, and iRobot may not be in business for much longer.

That's why I wrote a whole story urging caution to anyone eyeing a Roomba on sale this year — I elaborate more on the bleak details of iRobot's struggles there. Here's the TL;DR version: If bankruptcy is looming for iRobot, I worry about whether customer service, firmware updates, and bug fixes will cease to exist for current Roomba owners. And while I've typically had good experiences when testing Roombas, the latest iRobot vacuums just aren't as powerful as the other top robot vacuums (that are priced similarly or better).

SEE ALSO: Early Dyson Black Friday deals: Our favorite vacuum, air purifier, and hair tool are already on sale

Even so, I don't doubt that there are active members of the Roomba hive who still want to upgrade their Roomba for Black Friday 2025. I mean, Mashable readers did name iRobot their favorite robot vacuum brand of 2025 in Mashable's Readers' Choice survey. To help you out, I'm gathering the few early Black Friday Roomba deals I'd recommend shopping this year. I'm not just considering the discount itself, but whether that vacuum has decent value compared to the Roborocks, Sharks, and Eufys in my guide to the best Black Friday robot vacuum deals.

Best Black Friday Roomba deal iRobot Roomba 405 with self-empty and mop washing station $399 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $400.99   Get Deal at Amazon Why I like it

At $399.99, the Roomba Plus 405 is sitting at a pretty competitive price for a mid-range robot vacuum mop combo that can wash and dry its mopping pads. The 405 was one of the four new Roombas I tested in 2025, and the edge cleaning of its dual spinning mopping pads was lightyears better than the retractable flat mopping pad on the Combo j7+ and Combo 10 Max. The 405 also never got lost or went to the wrong room in my apartment, but iRobot's smart mapping has been consistent for me even before they switched over to the LiDAR tower design in 2025.

My main gripe with the Roomba Plus 405 is its lack of small obstacle avoidance tech, which iRobot reserved for the Roomba Plus 505. It's hard to ignore that the $359.99 Narwal Freo Pro and $349.99 Roborock Qrevo do have the tech that can avoid cords, laundry, and pet waste, especially when their mopping and suction power are on par with this Roomba's.

Note: While the Roomba 105 series did offer satisfactory cleaning performance in my home, I'd still recommend more powerful cheap Roborock options like the Roborock Q7 M5+ for $219.99 or the Roborock Q10 X5+ for $299.99.

Roomba deals to avoid this year

Let me deinfluence you from buying a few Roombas on sale this year. I found a few that are still way too expensive compared to other robot vacuums with the same (or better) features. Instead of getting the Roomba Max 705, Roomba Max 705 Combo, or Roomba Combo 10 Max, consider the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller for $999.99, the Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra for $799.99, or the Roborock Qrevo CurvX for $849.99.

Each Commander deck includes 100 cards with brand-new Final Fantasy–themed artwork, two foil legendary creatures, 10 double-sided tokens, and a 2-card Collector Booster Sample Pack containing alternate-border rares or better. That means you’re getting four full Commander experiences, each with its own strategy, playstyle, and fan-favorite protagonist.

The Revival Trance (FFVI) deck, currently listed at $39.49, leans into graveyard recursion with Terra, Herald of Hope leading the charge. The Scions & Spellcraft (FFXIV) deck, meanwhile, priced at $44.99, focuses on spell-slinging value with Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed.

Players who prefer aggressive stat-pushing and love Final Fantasy 7 will find the Limit Break (FFVII) deck: now $56.99, a perfect home for Cloud’s iconic Limit mechanics.

The Counter Blitz (FFX) deck is also part of the lineup at similar pricing, featuring Tidus, rounding out the full four-deck spread for collectors and Commander fans alike.

But the real star this Black Friday is the complete four-deck Commander bundle for $189.99 after having $90.97 sliced off, which gathers all decks into one package. Buying them together ensures you don’t have to hunt down each version individually; that’s a huge perk given how quickly these crossover decks have been selling out. The bundle listing highlights that all four Commander decks are included in one purchase (page 1 of the bundle file).

TikTok persona Mr. Fantasy shows up in Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade as the internet melts down

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 18:36

Depending on who you ask, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is either pure holiday magic or three hours of televised torment. Truly a choose-your-own-adventure situation that remains a deeply rooted part of Thanksgiving tradition regardless of where you land on the topic.

This year’s parade actually delivered some solid entertainment, especially if you’re an elder millennial. We got performances from Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon, and Shaggy — basically the soundtrack of every early-2000s house party. And for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the parade threw in a K-pop Demon Hunter performance, so everyone got at least one moment to yell, "Oh my god, I know them!"

However, the thing that caught everyone by surprise was the appearance of Mr. Fantasy — KJ Apa’s chaotic, wig-wearing TikTok alter ego — materializing at the Macy’s Parade like a fever dream come to life.

Thus, it's been a great time for social media.

Without the full backstory behind Apa’s alter ego, many viewers were not thrilled to see Mr. Fantasy haunting their Thanksgiving morning. But hey, at least Busta Rhymes is here.

When it comes to air fryer technology, there’s one name that cooks the competition — not to mention fries, wings, meat, fish, vegetables, baked treats, and pretty much anything else you can think of. That name, of course, is Ninja. There are several Ninja air fryer models included in the early Black Friday deals, but the Ninja XL is the best all-rounder for most households: A 5.5-quart multifunctional fryer that offers five cooking — Air​ Fry, Air Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. It’s easy to control the settings and temperature, with plenty of room for healthily frying hefty meals.

The Chefman TurboTouch Fry isn’t the only budget air fryer included in the early Black Friday deals — there are even cheaper models available — but this gets our pick for overall brand quality at such a brilliantly low price. It has a 4-quart capacity, which is plenty for regular households, plus a selection of preset cooking modes. It’s already good value at the list price of $99.99, but with a full 50% off ahead of Black Friday, this is a bargain at just $49.99 — perfect if you’re looking to try healthier air frying for the first time.

It’s another brilliant air fryer from the always impressive Ninja, but this one is made for larger households and big, hungry families. It costs more than the above Ninja, but it’s packing almost twice the capacity with two cooking baskets and DualZone cooking, which essentially means you can fry up two different foods with different modes and temperatures. It intelligently syncs the cooking so both foods finish cooking at the same time, and each basket is big enough for a whole chicken. This one has six cooking modes, throwing an Air Broiling option into the mix.

Everything to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025: Official dates, top deals, and Prime perks

Mashable - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 18:04

Black Friday season is in full swing and Amazon is already showing off with epic deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox is giving you hives, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale for you below — from when the sale starts and ends to what deals are actually worth adding to your cart.

Amazon Black Friday deals at a glance: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones $248 (save $151.99 + get $30 Amazon credit with code SONYX30) Get Deal Amazon Kindle $79.99 (save $30) Get Deal Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 $349 (save $450) Get Deal Ninja Slushi $269.99 (save $100) Get Deal Sony ULT Field 5 $194.95 (save $155.04) Get Deal Amazon 65-inch QLED Mini-LED 4K Fire TV $894.99 (save $195) Get Deal

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive.

Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.

So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.

When is the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale?

The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28 with plenty of deals on offer throughout. The banners will then switch over from Black Friday to Cyber Monday language on Saturday, Nov. 29 (yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well) and the official Cyber Monday sale will run through Monday, Dec. 1.

Does Amazon have better deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands will be available Friday. In fact, some products may go up in price or sell out while you're still biding your time.

The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.

SEE ALSO: Are Amazon's Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear. Best Amazon Black Friday ad highlights

Amazon doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad like its competitors. Instead, it announces its plans for Black Friday in the form of a press release — and then proceeds to drop some of the best deals of the season when the time comes.

Officially, these are the categories Amazon highlighted in its press release, but it doesn't even include some of the top deals we've seen thus far (read on to shop those). Regardless, here's what Amazon's ad highlights include for its Black Friday sale:

  • Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja

  • Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles

  • Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon

  • Up to 45% off Bose audio

  • Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more

  • Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot

  • Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG

  • Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf

  • Up to 35% on select Samsung and Google products

  • Up to 80% off Kindle books and up to 65% off physical books

We've rounded up some of the best deals we've seen at Amazon for Black Friday 2025 below, but be sure to follow along with our shopping team's full coverage for a wider range of products.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop on Black Friday?

While some deals will be available to everyone, the best Amazon Black Friday deals are always Prime exclusives. So, if you've somehow resisted and avoided signing up for Amazon Prime until now, then you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial that will take you through the holiday shopping season. After the trial ends, you'll be charged $14.99 per month. You can also sign up for Prime Access-only plans, which gives you benefits like free shipping and returns, but no extra perks like Prime Video access.

Price check before you buy SEE ALSO: Best Buy's early Black Friday deals are live. As a shopping reporter, here's what I would buy now.

On first glance, a deal might look great, but it's worth a few extra seconds of research. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to Camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers.
