5 of the best Black Friday air fryer deals in the US
Michelle Rae Uy, Buying guide Editor, TechRadar
I’m still expecting the best air fryer deals to come when we’re a little closer to Black Friday, but a handful of record-low prices have already popped up.
If you’re looking to get some early holiday shopping done, the Chefman 6.3 Quart Digital Air Fryer+ is now $109.46 at Amazon (opens in new tab), giving you over 25% in savings. Meanwhile, the Bella Pro 8-QT Air Fryer is now only $49.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). Here are five of the best Black Friday air fryer deals I’ve seen so far…
There’s just one more day to go until the Oculus Quest 2 (Meta’s best VR headset) will be part of its biggest-ever Black Friday deal.
Starting tomorrow (November 18) Meta will be selling the Oculus Quest 2 for $349.99 and $429.99 for the 128GB and 256GB models respectively – and we’re expecting it’ll be £349.99 and £429.99 in the UK, though Meta has yet to confirm our suspicions. While it’s technically still going to be more expensive than its pre-August 2022 price (when it was $100 / $100 less before its massive price hike) there’s more to this deal than meets the eye.
That’s because you’ll not only get the VR headset, but you’ll also get two free games: Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR (usually worth $70 / £53 together).
Beat Saber is effectively a crossover between Guitar Hero and Star Wars. While jamming out to your favorite tunes from artists like Lizzo, The Weekend, Linkin Park, and LMFAO you have to slice notes in time to the music as they fly past. Do well and you might get a new high score, but if you fail the music will stop. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to get active.
Resident Evil 4 VR on the other hand is an immersive remake of the classic action horror game. Just like the original on the GameCube, the gameplay is superb with RE 4 VR managing to strike the perfect balance between making you feel like a badass while also keeping the stress levels appropriately high as you fight off hordes of monsters. This is the best way to experience the iconic Capcom game, and it’s perfect for newcomers and longtime fans alike.
7 of the best Black Friday deals in the UK
What are some of the best Black Friday deals in the UK right now? Here are a few that stood out to our deals experts…
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has some surprising Black Friday advice for prospective shoppers: slow things down a little.
When asked by CNN (via The Telegraph (opens in new tab)) whether people should carry on as normal or if they should “batten down the hatches” with the increasingly difficult financial situation many of us are finding ourselves in, Jeff Bezos said that people should “take some risk off the table.”
He added, “If you’re an individual and you’re thinking about buying a new large-screen TV, maybe slow that down. Keep that cash, see what happens. Same thing with a refrigerator or a new car, or whatever.”
While that advice is certainly nothing groundbreaking, it is interesting to hear it coming from the founder of the world’s largest online retailer ahead of the biggest shopping event of the year. Even more so considering that Amazon has faced a much more difficult year than normal – now more than ever it likely needs shoppers browsing its Black Friday deals.
Regardless of his reasoning behind the statement, Bezos’ words ring true; with energy prices and inflation on the rise money is tight and we’d definitely recommend thinking twice before buying a new gadget. If it is something you desperately need then Black Friday is a great time to pick it up at a bargain price, but if you can hold off for a few more months or even another year you likely won’t regret it.
Though for those of you looking for a bargain we’ll be here to collect all of the best deals we can find online.
There are some great deals at Amazon in the US right now on Ring doorbells and cameras that’ll give your home’s security a boost. They include savings on older models and even devices that launched earlier this year. Here are a five of our favorites.
Grab a 65in 4K TV for $500 off!
We’re sure to see plenty of great deals on big 4K TVs this Black Friday, but we doubt many will be better than this Best Buy offer on the Hisense U8H.
First off, this is a really good TV even at full price – we awarded it 4/5 stars in our Hisense U8H review and were full of praise for its high brightness, strong blacks, rich colors and gaming-friendly features. But best of all it’s not full price right now: it’s 37% off, saving you $500 and bringing it down to $899. Don’t miss this one.
…and today’s best Lego deals in the UK

Today’s best Lego deals in the US
Whether you’re buying them for your kids or yourself, this year’s Black Friday Lego deals will help you pick up some great sets at even better prices.
Here are three of our favorite deals available right now in the United States.
Beats Studio Buds get a $50 price cut before Black Friday
Let’s start with a great headphones deal. The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made and earned 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review. They’re comfortable, sound great and have active noise cancellation.
OK, so their call quality isn’t perfect and they’re missing Apple’s H1 Wireless Chip. But at $99.99 – which is their current price at Amazon, down from $149.95 – they’re a lot cheaper than Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, which cost $234. We think they’re an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.
