Black Friday may still be a few days away but many of our favourite retailers - like Amazon and John Lewis - have started to release early deals.  

Though we will have to wait until the clock strikes midnight on November 23 to see everyone's Black Friday offering, there are already a number of noteworthy discounts available.

With some retailers price-matching their competitors this year, you don't even have to worry about missing out on a better deal later in the week. Simply check your chosen retailer's terms and conditions and enjoy The Telegraph's top picks from current Black Friday deals, below.

Best early deals

Google Home Smart Speaker

Was £129, now £79 from John Lewis

If you want a smart-speaker, this is the one to buy. Last month The Telegraph rated this model as the best of the bunch, reasoning: 'The key to understanding what Google Home is all about is in its appearance. That big white block at the top is the processing brain; and the smaller turquoise slice at the bottom is the speaker. Google Home is a smart assistant first, a speaker second.'

As well as searching the web to answer your questions, the voice-activated device can connect with compatible smart home products (like your thermostat or TV) to control them, plays music on command and can set alarms, start timers and add items to your shopping list. 

Fire TV Stick 4K and Echo Dot

Was £99.98, now £49.98 from Amazon

The third generation Echo Dot is usually £49.99, so this is a great deal. It is a hands-free, voice-controlled device which allows you to connect to personal assistant Alexa in order do a myriad of tasks: to play music, make calls, ask questions, check your calendar, weather, traffic and sports scores, manage to-do and shopping lists, control compatible smart home devices, and more.

In this bundle deal the Dot comes with the Fire TV streaming stick, which lets you plug in and play thousands of programmes from streaming channels, including its own Prime Video. 

Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet

Was £129.99, now £89.99 from Amazon

The Amazon Fire 8 tablet is aimed at kids, giving them access to thousands of apps, books, films, games and more - great for both education and fun. As a specially designed children's tablet, you can set stringent parental controls, such as bedtime curfews and controls on screen time and content. 

Garmin vivosmart 4 Fitness Activity Tracker

Was £119.99, now £74.99 from John Lewis

This activity tracker monitors your heart rate as well as providing stress tracking and a relaxation breathing timer, while the wrist-based Pulse Ox4 sensor lets you check your blood oxygen saturation whenever you want. Safe for use in either the swimming pool or the shower, it lasts up to seven days without needing to be charge and can send notifications to your phone via the accompanying app.

KitchenAid 150 Artisan 4.8L Stand Mixer, Black Caviar

Was £479, now £299 from John Lewis

Kitchenaid mixers are the best in the business - in fact, it is said to have got its name in 1918 when prototype models were given to the wives of factory executives in Ohio, who declared it the best "kitchen aid" they'd ever had. 

This black 4.8L model is reduced by £180 today; the mixer, known for over the past 100 years for its reliable quality, has 10 speed settings and includes a wire whip whisk, dough hook and flat beater (the latter two of which are both dishwasher-safe).

Ring Video Doorbell Pro

Was £229, now £139 from Amazon

Want to monitor your front door from anywhere? This doorbell works with selected Alexa devices to allow you to do just that, as well as check in on your home at any time with the device's Live View on-demand video and audio.

It can launch real-time video with your voice; lets you see, hear and speak to visitors from your phone, tablet and PC; and sends alerts when motion is detected or when visitors press the doorbell. This offer knocks almost 40 per cent off the Doorbell so is worth snapping up.

Tassimo Vivy Coffee Machine by Bosch

Was £79, now £29 from John Lewis

 This compact coffee machine is reduced by over 60 per cent, which makes it the ideal offer if you or a family member need a jolt of caffeine to get up in the morning: all you need to do is flick a switch to get a coffee shop-worthy cup of joe.

It has a removable 0.7L water tank  and has a LED light user interface which tells you about the machine's status: standby, automatic mode, manual mode, refill water tank or if the machine needs to be descaled (which can be done automatically using the machine's cleaning and descaling programme).
