1. Save $150: Our favorite Roomba
During the holidays, cleaning is probably the last thing on your mind. Luckily, with a robot vacuum, you can keep your home in tip-top shape with minimal effort. The iRobot Roomba j7+ is the best Roomba we’ve ever tested, and, right now, you can take home the self-emptying robot vacuum for just $699.99, $150 off the full $849.99 list price and one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. We think this robot vacuum is iRobot’s best Roomba yet and found it to have excellent navigation and cleaning capabilities. In testing, the j7+ easily maneuvered around furniture and dog poop and picked up just as much dirt as a full-sized vacuum.

Amazon Black Friday deals you may have missed
1. Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
Android users wanting to get into the world of smartwatches should consider the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. Typically listed for $249.99, the 40mm model is now available for $199.99 thanks to a 20% discount. We named the slightly-larger 44mm model of the Active 2 one of our favorite smartwatches for its large and bright AMOLED screen as well as its near-three-day battery life (depending on use). It’s also an excellent overall fitness tracker, able to keep an eye on your calorie intake and how well you sleep.

When we tested the combo kit, our tester enjoyed reading about her DNA and found the information provided both "interesting and valuable." She said the Traits add-on to be a fun way to find out what physical traits you could have—even if it didn't always hit the mark.

3. Apple AirPods Pro
We think the Apple AirPods Pro are some of the best headphones available right now, and you can get the updated version for the lowest price we’ve ever seen. We love the Pros for the Active Noise Cancellation that dampened environmental noise and the customizable fit of the buds. This new version adds MagSafe, which means you can hold it near a MagSafe charger and it will snap firmly into place and start charging. Get them now for $189.99—a $59.01 price cut from the $249 list price. (Something to consider: Adding two years of Apple Care+ for protection against damage for $29).

When is Amazon Black Friday 2021?
Amazon Black Friday 2021 deals are in full swing. This year, Amazon kicked off its holiday shopping season earlier than ever. The popular online retailer announced its first wave of Black Friday sales on October 4, with markdowns across all categories. We expect to see even deeper discounts on everything from kitchen essentials and electronics to toys and fashion pieces in the coming weeks.
What are the best deals from the Amazon Black Friday 2021 sale?
To date, we've seen massive Amazon Black Friday deals on air fryers, headphones, home goods and more—including tons of products from some of our favorite brands, like Apple, KitchenAid, Instant Pot, Sony, Bose, iRobot and Shark.
Every day Amazon adds even more sales to their lineup of Black Friday 2021 deals. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back frequently to scoop the hottest Amazon discounts on must-have items this holiday season.
Are Amazon Black Friday sales available online?
Yes. Amazon Black Friday sales are exclusively available online.
What's the difference between Amazon Black Friday deals and Amazon Cyber Monday deals?
With Amazon Black Friday deals already here, the early holiday sales double as both Black Friday discounts and pre-Cyber Monday deals. While, technically, Amazon Cyber Monday deals roll out as soon as Black Friday ends on November 26, we expect to see significant overlap in Amazon's roundup of Black Friday and Cyber Monday markdowns. Both waves of holiday deals will be exclusively available online, so be sure to secure your Amazon Prime membership ahead of time to enjoy fast and free shipping.
Does Amazon have special Black Friday deals for Amazon Prime members?
Yes. During the holiday shopping season, Amazon Prime members have early access to select holiday deals and can even earn up to 25% back on select Amazon purchases with an Amazon Prime Card and an eligible Prime membership. Meanwhile, Prime members can get their holiday gifts quicker with access to free and fast shipping, with millions of must-have items available for same-day delivery. If you aren't already an Amazon Prime member, don't worry—there's still plenty of time to sign up.
When does the Amazon Black Friday sale end?
The Amazon Black Friday sale ends on November 26, with Amazon Cyber Monday deals rolling out the following day, on November 27. Keep in mind, however, that many of the markdowns included in the Amazon Black Friday sale are one-day deals.
Following the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend of sales, we expect to see discounts on select items throughout the holiday season—however, with shipping delays and stock shortages expected, we recommend shopping early to ensure you get all the holiday gifts on your list this year.
