The biggest shopping event of the year, Black Friday has officially arrived, with the likes of Amazon, John Lewis, Dyson, Lakeland, AO, Argos, Currys and Very all taking part. The sale traditionally takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US, but the bonanza has become a hit in the UK too and gets better (and longer) every year, with sales now stretching on for weeks.
With the best brands in the business offering thousands of discounts across TVs, laptops, gaming, tech, mattresses, home appliances, beauty, fashion, toys and much more, the mammoth sale is your best opportunity to save on big-ticket products – particularly home appliances.
There’s no better time to bag a bargain on everyday items, whether you’re looking for a coffee machine, fridge freezer, multi-functional slow cooker or cordless vacuum. Prepare for sizable price-cuts on plenty of products, to save some cash.
With the rising cost of living, Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to snap up cheaper energy-efficient appliances – such as air fryers, dehumidifiers and heated dryers – to help you save on your household bills.
With all this discounting action, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed during the sale. But don’t worry, IndyBest’s dedicated team of deal-hunters will be keeping an eye out for the best savings across home appliances and a host of other categories throughout the weekend-long event.

Our tester noted that the model tested made “some of the best chips”, so it’s a brand that is sure to deliver. Owing to the impressive £100 discount, we predict this deal won’t be around for long.
Cosi Home dual control electric blanket, double: Was £79.99, now £49.99, Cosihome.com
(Cosi Home)
Searching for an electric blanket Black Friday deal? This Cosi Home design featured in our review of the best electric blankets, so you can trust it’s a good sale purchase. Our tester said they “loved the wide range of temperatures you can choose from to achieve that perfect temperature for a solid night of slumber, no matter how cold it is outdoors”. It’s “made from a soft, snug material that adds to the comfort provided by the heating elements”, and now you can save 46 per cent on the price too.
Ninja 3-in-1 food processor and blender with auto-iQ BN800UK: Was £199, now £125, Currys.co.uk
(Very)

Earning a spot in our round-up of the best food processors, it can be used for almost anything from drinks to desserts, with our tester saying how much they “loved the automatic one-touch for blending and processing” boasting that these programmes really took time out of their food prep tasks.
Samsung series 6 spacemax rb34t632esa/eu 70/30 fridge freezer: Was £729, now £449, Currys.co.uk

KitchenAid hand mixer empire red, seven speeds: Was £99, now £69.30, Kitchenaid.co.uk
(KitchenAid)
A very similar hand mixer from the brand secured a spot in our round-up, but this model actually has one more speed setting than the one we featured. Our tester said: “Using the balloon-whisk attachment at the highest speed setting, it took only 50 seconds to reach stiff-peak stage and it made a glossy, fluffy meringue mix in minutes.” They added: “The mixer’s motor is blissfully quiet in operation, and the rubber-tipped ‘flat edge’ beaters also cut down on noise in the bowl.” Its only flaw is that it’s for beating and whisking only, so kneading bread dough is out of the question.

Our writer added: “Unlike others, it can make food with sauce, as a slow cooker would, so casseroles, stews and curries are all an option.” They also said that, out of all of the models on test, it made “some of the best chips”. Owing to the impressive 30 per cent discount on the smaller snacking model, we predict this won’t stick around for long.

We’re big fans of the brand here at IndyBest – read our guide to the best Tassimo coffee machines, in which our reviewer said of the similar Tassimo happy model: “Very easy to clean, with dishwasher-safe parts, the fact that the happy has such a small footprint means it can unobtrusively sit in the corner of a break room or even on your desk.”
