Follow live: The best Black Friday 2022 deals

Argos is known for delivering amazing savings, and the ever-popular shop launched a whole load of discounts early this year, featuring the likes of homeware brands Ninja, Shark and Dyson, to name a few – but it’s been saving the best deals until this weekend.

You might be looking for new hair straighteners, AirPods, a vacuum cleaner, or some gaming gear, all of which one-stop-shop Argos sells. So now is the time to bag those bargains across investment buys and everyday essentials, and get a head start on your Christmas shopping too.

To help you score a saving, we’ve rounded up the best deals to shop now, from a hair dryer and coffee machine to Lego sets and cordless vacuums.

The best Argos Black Friday 2022 deals

We put this TikTok-famous Dyson dupe to the test last year, and it earned a spot in our round-up of the best hot brushes too. According to our tester, the heat and styling were “spot on”. They said the bristles “glided through our hair and left us with a salon-worthy blow-dry at an affordable price”. It’s a worthy investment for easy styling at home at only £30.

Another model from this brand secured a spot in our round-up of the best air fryers, and it’s safe to say Tower is one of the most well-known brands when it comes to these kitchen appliances. This one has a 3l cooking capacity, enough for about three or four portions, so it’s perfect for a small household. The bowl is removable for easy cleaning and dial controls help you set the temperature and timer. For only £30, it really is a bargain.

If you dream of frothy cappuccinos while working from home, but don’t really need the bells and whistles of the more expensive coffee machines on the market – consider this simple machine from De’longhi. Compatible with dolce gusto pods, it can make your morning brew in the size you want, whether that’s an espresso, cappuccino, latte, latte macchiato or other options within this machine’s repertoire. It also features a removable drip tray and dishwasher-safe parts for hassle-free cleaning. When we put this machine to the test, our reviewer liked that it was compact, portable and easy to use – and at less than half price, you really can’t go wrong.

Our tech writer Alex Lee was seriously impressed when reviewing Google’s Pixel buds pro, saying “it’s about two years too late, but Android and Pixel owners finally have a worthy option when it comes to wireless earbuds”. While still feeling some features were missing, he found these were “unbelievably comfortable, fit snugly and securely, wonderful to control and the active noise cancellation is one of the best we’ve seen on a pair of wireless earbuds”. Now, thanks to Argos, you can save £30 on a new pair as part of the retailer’s early Black Friday sale.

If you’re buying for a space obsessed little one this Christmas, this Nasa-inspired set is the perfect option. The 1010-piece set includes a great range of realistic features, including a service vehicle, planet rover, and six minifigures, all of which work to encourage creative play. Better still, it’s currently half price.

The retailer is calling this one of its ‘hot deals’, and we can see why. With almost 50 per cent off, this is an offer you’ll want to snap up. Here at IndyBest we’ve tested many a vacuum, and Shark’s models have made the cut for both our best cordless and corded round-ups, so it’s safe to say we think it is a top-notch brand. This particular model comes with the brand’s signature anti hair wrap technology, meaning the brush will stay clean and you won’t need to unclog it. Once charged, it can run for up to 40 minutes and a battery indicator light will let you know how much charge is remaining, so you don’t have any unpleasant surprises mid-cleaning.

Our tester was impressed with the solar version of this watch, and while this one can’t be charged by sunlight, it still has a lot going for it. The watch can help you log many workouts, from a simple run to swimming, rowing, skiing, golfing and more. It can also help you map and navigate and includes heart rate, smart notifications, pulse oxygen sensing and contactless payment. Its battery will last up to 14 days, and 10 hours when using GPS.

If you’re looking to pick up Nintendo’s latest hybrid console with a brand-new game, look no further. The retailer is offering the OLED console with Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope with a £20 discount – since the game only launched a month ago, this is a decent deal, and the first Nintendo Switch OLED bundle deal we’ve seen in the early Black Friday sales.

Still our favourite Nintendo Switch console, the Nintendo Switch OLED improves upon the original in every possible way. When we reviewed it in our guide to the best Christmas gifts for gamers, our tester said: “It features a larger 7in OLED screen, so you’ll notice that colours are more vivid, and blacks are darker when playing games in handheld mode. There’s a sturdier kickstand so it won’t fall over when you breathe on it, the speakers are slightly better and there’s now an ethernet port for more reliable online play.”

The water tank has 1.1l capacity when clean and 1.4l when dirty, and a safety cut out indicator will notify you when it’s full. Perfect for cleaning up after mucky pups.

Its Bluetooth connection has a range of up to 30ft, enabling you to connect with your smartphone or laptop. It also has aux in and is connectable with iPhone, iPod and iPad.

Securing a spot in our round-up of the best cordless vacuums, our tester said: “Gadget lovers will adore this sleek stick.” Making light work of your cleaning, the powerful vacuum claims to capture 99.999 per cent of fine dust particles. “Better yet, the bin itself is entirely washable, so you can keep your vacuum pristine, ideal for those who suffer with dust allergies,” our tester added. “We found it particularly effective on our hard floors, as it can speedily transform into a mini mop, with a spinning sweeper that gets right into every corner.”

Black Friday is an ideal opportunity to save cash on everyday items such as pillows, and this set of two has been reduced by 23 per cent. That takes the price down to £9 per pillow, and they are machine washable for added practicality too. Plus, the medium soft pillows are designed for those of us who sleep on our back. Non-allergenic, the hollow fibre polyester filling is encased in a 100 per cent microfibre cover.

While we’ve not tested this particular pair, we named a Silentnight pillow best overall in our best cooling pillows guide. Our tester noted the pillow has “shape flexibility” while noting the medium pillow works well “as part of a stack.”
