Why we love Amazon’s early Black Friday sale
Here on the Reviews team, Black Friday is our bread and butter. And we’re not alone — retailers big and small are dropping everything to celebrate the incoming holiday with some of the best deals I’ve seen all year. If you’re in need of some early gifts, Thanksgiving essentials, or home upgrades, I’ve rounded up the best Amazon Black Friday deals you can score below.
Not all early discounts are worth your time. Especially with the main event just weeks away, it’s probable that many products will just drop even lower when it arrives. That said, several are at their all-time lows of the year, or, if not, within a small margin of it. All of the highlights I’ve gathered from Amazon below are unlikely to result in buyer’s remorse if you buy them now, especially if you’re in immediate need. If you can wait, I’d recommend it — but if an untimely birthday or early holiday party has you shopping now, these picks will help you skip the worry.
My 5 favorite Amazon Black Friday deals include our favorite pillow, an AirWrap dupe, and more.
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System
The Dyson Airwrap may get all the hype for doling out salon-quality blowouts at home, but the Shark FlexStyle is another wonderful multi-styling tool, and it’s about half the price. The system comes with a powerful hair dryer and five attachments to help style hair with ease.
Apple 15-inch MacBook Air (2025)
This larger 15-inch version of the 2025 MacBook Air uses Apple’s M4 processor. It is available in 16GB or 24GB memory configurations with up to 512GB of storage.
