Black Friday has become the time to buy the hottest tech of the year. Whether
you're shopping for yourself or stocking up on gifts for the holidays, Black
Friday deals are sure to bring the best prices of the year to things like
headphones, game consoles, robot vacuums, phone accessories and everything in
between. You don't even have to wait until Black Friday proper to save a ton
of money. Over the past few years, we've seen Black Friday tech deals start
earlier and earlier ΓÇö to the point where the entire month of November is
packed with discounts.

If you're on the hunt for solid tech deals, Engadget has you covered. We've
collected the best Black Friday deals on tech you can get right now, and
we'll continue to update this post as we get closer to the big day at the end
of November. Note that you probably have the best chance of snagging record-
low prices when we get to about one week before Thanksgiving, but these deals
available now are worth considering.

Black Friday deals to shop now

Apple iPad mini for $399 ($100 off): Apple's smallest tablet, the iPad mini
is the best option for those who prefer their tablet be roughly the size of a
paperback book. The latest model runs on the A17 Pro chipset and has an
upgraded 128GB of storage in the base configuration. It also supports the
Apple Pencil Pro.

Apple Mac Mini M4 for $499 ($100 off): Desktop users looking for an upgrade
should consider the latest Mac Mini, which runs on the M4 chip and 16GB of
RAM as standard in the base configuration. This version has a smaller design
that takes up less space, front-facing USB-C ports and a headphone jack, plus
Thunderbolt 5 support.

Bose QuietComfort headphones for $199 (43 percent off): These noise-
cancelling headphones have a comfortable (albeit a bit boring) design, an
"Aware" mode that lets you hear more of your surroundings when you need to
and up to 24 hours of battery life. Also available at Best Buy.

EcoFlow Black Friday deals ΓÇö get up to 80 percent off: Portable power
stations are an investment, but they can be crucial pieces of tech during
emergencies. The top pick from our friends at Yahoo Tech has been heavily
discounted in this early Black Friday sale. You can pick up the EcoFlow Delta
Pro 3 for $1,400 off, down to $2,299, or the power station with an extra
battery bundled in for $2,699 off, down to $3,599.

Apple Watch SE 3 for $200 ($50 off): The SE has been our top pick for the
best Apple Watch for those on a budget, and the latest model only solidifies
that further. It has the same chipset found in the latest flagship Apple
Watches, fast-charging capabilities, an always-on display and most of the
same activity-tracking features you'll find in more expensive model.

Jisulife Life 7 handheld fan for $25 (14 percent off): This handy little fan
is a must-have if you life in a warm climate or have a tropical vacation
planned anytime soon. It can be used as a table or handheld fan and even be
worn around the neck so you don't have to hold it at all. Its 5,000 mAh
battery allows it to last hours on a single charge, and the small display in
the middle of the fan's blades show its remaining battery level.

Lego Disney advent calendar 2025 43253 for $39 (14 percent off): I probably
don't need to tell you 'tis the season for advent calendars. Lego has a
bunch, and this one in particular is on a good deal right now. Like most Lego
advent calendars, this one includes a number of bricks and minifigs that,
when put together, make a coherent, themed scene.

Leebin 2025 electric spin scrubber for $40 (43 percent off, Prime exclusive):
This weird little scrubber makes cleaning my bathroom and shower much less of
a pain. Just choose the brush head you need for your job and the rotating
head takes care of most of the hard work. I love the adjustable handle, which
extends from 12 to 50 inches so you can get into hard-to-reach places without
breaking a sweat.

SanDisk microSD Express card (256GB) for $60 (12 percent off): If you have a
Switch 2, no regular microSD card will do if you want to expand the console's
storage. You need a newer microSD Express card, and currently there are only
a handful on the market. We did some testing to find the best microSD Express
card for the Switch 2 and found that performance was, in general, very
similar amongst all the readily available cards. We recommend getting
whichever fits within your budget at the capacity you want.

Google TV Streamer 4K for $75 ($25 off): Our top pick for the best streaming
device right now, the latest version of Google's streamer supports 4K video
and an excellent, easy-to-use interface that will feel familiar to anyone
who's seen a set with the Google TV technology built in. It provides access
to all of the major streaming services including Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max,
YouTube and more, plus it has a handy on-screen pop up that lets you control
all compatible smart home devices right from your TV. Also available at
Walmart.

Cosori 9-in-1 air fryer for $90 (25 percent off): I personally have this air
fryer, one of our top picks, in my house and I've used it for over a year
with no issues. I love that it makes good use of vertical space so it doesn't
take up too much space on my counter, and its rounded-square shape allows me
to cook more food than you'd think in one go in the basket. It crisps all
kinds of foods up well and generally takes a lot of the guess work (and time)
out of making a good meal.

Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with 60-day self-emptying base for $300 (50
percent off): This is a version of one of our top picks for the best robot
vacuums. We generally like Shark machines because they do a good job cleaning
all types of flooring, produce accurate home maps and the companion app is
pretty easy to use. This one in particularly comes with a self-emptying base
that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris.
