Amazon’s Black Friday 2023 event lasts all week
Amazon is midway through its weeklong Black Friday sale, with discounts on everything from teeth whitening kits and Lego to dogfood and smart speakers.
The site can be challenging to navigate at the best of times, never mind with all of those deals whizzing around, so to help you spot the golden deals we’re rounding up all of the best offers in our dedicated guide to Black Friday at Amazon.
Amazon Black Friday sale 2023: Best deals to shop now
With offers on TVs, air fryers, laptops and hair tools, the retailer has kicked off its megal sale
There’s £100 off this top-rated cordless Dyson
The Dyson omni-glide was dubbed the best cordless vacuum cleaner for hardwood floors, when it landed in our round-up, and thanks to this John Lewis deal, it’s reduced by £100.

The omni-glide gets its name from the ability of the fluffy cleaning head to clean in all directions. In our review, our tester noted how it “glides across floors like it’s floating on air”, before adding that they could “visibly see it sucking up all the debris” on their floor.
Get £250 off the Galaxy S23 Ultra
The most powerful and versatile Android phone around, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is half tablet, half smartphone, and comes with Samsung’s S-Pen stylus included.

For Black Friday, you can get a giant £250 off when you use the code S23ULTRA250 at checkout. That brings the price of Samsung’s most advanced phone ever down to less than £1,000.
The PS5 is cheaper than ever this Black Friday
Just like the Xbox Series X, the PlayStation 5 is heavily discounted in the Black Friday sale.
PlayStation 5 disc edition: Was £479.99, now £379, Very.co.uk
The PlayStation 5 gets a surprise discount for Black Friday, plummeting to just £389.99 between now and 30 November across most retailers. Very has dropped even lower than most, offering Sony’s next-generation console for just £379, the cheapest the PS5 has ever been.
Get 43 per cent off a 16 pack of Gillette razors
It’s not the most thrilling of deals, but Black Friday is the best time to restock on those annoying bathroom essentials. For those who shave, here’s a 43 per cent discount on a 16 pack of Gillette Fusion5 blade refills.
Gillette Fusion5 razor blades (16 pack): Was £39.09, now £22.37, Amazon.co.uk
Well they did it, those crazy sons of guns, they finally cracked five blades. Science said it couldn’t be done. Philosophers said we mustn’t. But the geniuses at Gillette labs don’t understand the meaning of the phrase “three blades is probably enough, now”.
This deal on a 16 pack of Gillette razor blades brings the per-unit price down to just £1.40 a pop.
The Xbox Series X is down to its lowest ever price
The newest Xbox was once so hard to find in stock, we worried we’d never see the console discounted on a Black Friday. But here we are – there’s a giant £130 off the thing at Very right now.
Xbox Series X: Was £479.99, now £359, Very.co.uk
The Xbox Series X is the more powerful of Microsoft’s two new Xbox consoles. The cheaper Xbox Series S plays all of the same games, but with the graphics dialled down a bit. This Black Friday brings the Series X down to its lowest price, making it a better proposition than ever.
Save £70 on the Ninja air fryer
Let’s kick things off with some Black Friday air fryer deals. Here’s a big saving on a compact model from one of our favourite kitchenware brands.
Ninja air fryer AF100UK: Was £149.99, now £79.99, Currys.co.uk
This powerful Ninja air fryer promises to make cooking meals 50 per cent faster than conventional fan ovens. It featured in our round-up of the best air fryers, and, now, you can save a whopping £70 with this Black Friday deal at Currys.
The appliance comes complete with a 3.8l basket, and there are four cooking functions to handle the culinary tasks of air frying, dehydrating, roasting and reheating. Even better, all removable parts are dishwasher-safe, so cleaning the air fryer is just as speedy as using it to cook meals.
