The top products we're buying this Prime Day and Black Friday 2024
Best fast air fryer
Amazon We love this Cosori air fryer, which is why it's featured as one of our best air fryers, 2024. Our reviewer found it easy to use with a touch screen that's easy to wipe clean. It's very quiet, and efficient - to the point that our reviewer initially overcooked everything as it was so quick!
It's also compact - comfortably feeding a family of 4 without taking up too much space on the counter. It's easy to keep clean, too, with a dishwasher safe drawer.
We're expecting air fryers to be on offer across all the upcoming sales periods and this Cosori one is already marked down in price, so you can grab one now!
Pros
- Fast, quiet cooking
- Compact design
Cons
- Can be tricky to remove crisper plate
Best electric toothbrush for teeth whitening
Amazon Oral-B make excellent electric toothbrushes across a range of price-points. As you can imagine, we were pretty excited to see one of their most expensive offerings with a massive 62% off! The iO8 was £450 and is now down to just £169.97 - a really great price for such a high-end product.
We love the dentist-feel clean you get from Oral-B, and this brush comes with a range of features including 6 different cleaning modes. There's also a quick charge option which takes 3 hours, and a magnetic base.
Reviewers love how quiet and lightweight it is, as well as the clean it gives. The handy timer and app that tells you how to brush and how long for, is also great. Many have noted much whiter teeth as a result.
Pros
- 6 different brush modes
- 3 hour quick charge
- Has an accompanying app
Cons
- Doesn't come with replacement heads
Best luxury heated throw
AmazonA heated throw is definitely worth investing in before the weather gets really cold. They cost on average about 3p an hour to run, and they're so warm and toasty they can actually save you having to put the heating on.
This lovely one from Amazon is big and comes in a range of colours. It has a timer - so no worries if you fall asleep wrapped up in it - and 10 heat settings. It's easily big enough for two to share as well. I like snuggling up with my little niece!
Customers love its softness and how easy it is to use. We love its bargain price!
Pros
- Large - easily big enough for two to share
- Costs pennies to run
- Timer setting
Cons
- It is corded so you can't move around the house in it.
Best touchscreen laptop
Amazon If you're after a new laptop, whether for work or home use, this Asus 14" touchscreen laptop is just the job. It has 16GB RAM and 12th Gen intel processor - meaning it'll run quickly and store everything you need.
Customers have praised its efficiency and ease of use. They also like that it's lightweight which is useful if you need to move from room to room or even take it to work. Battery life is good with most people saying it's efficient, and they also like the backlit keyboard. Reviews are mixed on the quality of the webcam, but it's a high enough spec for things like Zoom calls or Teams meetings. It's also touchscreen which is handy.
Pros
- Touchscreen laptop
- Long lasting battery
- 16GB RAM
Cons
- Average quality webcam
Best fast-boil kettle
AmazonWe love this stylish kettle from Russell Hobbs, and there's also a matching toaster available. The textured design adds a touch of flair, and its quick boil function means you're not waiting ages to make a cup of tea.
Customers love how it looks and how easy it is to use. Some said it felt a little loose on the base, but it's not unsafe, just perhaps not as snug as you might expect. We don't expect this deal to hang around for long, so be quick!
Pros
- Stylish design
- Fast boil
- Matching toaster available
Cons
- Can feel a little loose on the base
AmazonA walking pad is the perfect piece of home exercise equipment. Not only does this one fold away, but you can use it with or without the handle. This makes it perfect for rehab or just if you want to steady yourself, but also really good if you want to walk while working as it'll fit under your desk.
I love getting daily steps in, but when it's raining I'm far less inclined to move! This walking pad - with £100 off, is my ideal item and an absolute bargain at this price.
Customers love how easy it is to store. Some said it wasn't sturdy enough for them, so do check weight limits before buying and make sure you use it on a hard surface.
Pros
- Folds away for easy storage
- Has a remote control for ease of use
- Can use with or without handle
Cons
- Some customers felt it wasn't sturdy enough for them
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday will be on 29th November 2024, but deals will begin around a week prior, and extend into the following days too, with Cyber Monday being on 2nd December. That's when a lot of tech deals will go love - so things like laptops, fitness trackers and TVs are likely to drop in price. It's the perfect opportunity to pick up some Christmas presents, find what you need at an unbeatable price, or revamp your home before the end of the year.
What is Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024?
This huge event originated in America, with tech and electronic goods such as smart TVs going on sale right after Thanksgiving to entice customers to begin their Christmas shopping.
Now that it’s moved over to the UK, you’ll find massive discounts on everything, not just tech, and it's the biggest event of the year for retailers. Cyber Monday continues after Black Friday and is another chance to snag a good deal before Christmas.
How long does Black Friday last?
Traditionally, Black Friday sales would only last for twenty-four hours (hence it being named after one day). However, with more people shopping online now, over the years we've seen many retailers extend their Black Friday sales for much longer and even start them earlier. It's individual to each brand, so we'd advise to keep your eyes peeled.
