With the countdown nearing its final siren, it’s time not to miss out on the last bargains for Black Friday shopping. Although, before you go shopping, it is good to keep a few simple rules in mind to avoid nasty surprises and try to snatch the bargain of the year. Discounts of up to 70% on products that interest us are temptations too great to refuse, as long as we never act on instinct and think about what we are going to buy. In this sense, it is good to move according to plan without succumbing to compulsive shopping.
What to do before shopping
First, it is good to make a list of the products we need, so as to limit our search. Secondly, when an offer is too good to be true, it is necessary to check the product’s actual price, so use sites such as Keepa and CamelCamelCamel that allow you to monitor the price fluctuations experienced in recent months. Another useful element is the price comparator; there are many of them, and one of the most popular is Idealo, which helps you find out where to buy a product at the lowest cost.
A useful resource for shopping, especially during major events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas, is the newsletter, which sometimes gives access to exclusive offers or before others. It is all too obvious to say that one should only buy on secure sites and immediately abandon unclear platforms during transactions, but also to know before buying the shipping costs of a product and the eCommerce return policy so as not to be disappointed if one has to return the parcel to the sender.
Respecting these few simple points will ensure that you are unlikely to be disappointed, not least because the discounts are numerous and convenient.
We have seen the best offers for smartphones, notebooks, tablets, and smartwatches. This time, we see the most interesting value-for-money offers on many other market segments: hoovers to refrigerators, earphones to tech accessories, and headphones to personal care. Here is our list:
Tineco Floor One S5
Versatile, all-round electric broom that simplifies household cleaning because it combines vacuuming and washing. Two water tanks, clean and dirty, self-cleaning brush system and 35 minutes of autonomy. From 389 to 259 euros.
Ecovacs Deboot N20 Plus
It’s small on the outside but big on the inside because it has an 8,000-pa suction power, an emptying station, and an anti-tangle brush system, which is ideal for pets in the home. And then there’s about 300 minutes of cleaning time on a single battery charge. From €379 to €299.
Samsung Refrigerator
It’s not a much-talked-about appliance, but Black Friday is a good opportunity for those who need to buy a fridge. Like this combined model from Samsung, with an internal capacity of 387 litres and extra space to store food thanks to thinner walls, it is equipped with total no-frost cooling technology, which manages temperature and humidity separately. It has a back cover that hides the cables from view. From €1,799 to €849.90.
Haier 3 Series three-door refrigerator
It is an unusual design with three doors because at the top is the fridge, and at the bottom are two independent drawers that can be used as freezers. A way to keep an eye on the food inside and save energy, plus there’s a touch system to adjust the temperature. From €999 to €599.
LG InstaView Side by Side Refrigerator
The darkened front glass that you just touch to turn on the interior light and see what’s available is a cross between helpful functionality and wow effect. Because you don’t have to open it to see what’s cooking, there is no waste in terms of consumption for a 635-litre model, which has a water and ice dispenser and remote management via the app. From €2,699 to €1,699.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
Compact, lightweight and with an LED strip light to make them unique, the latest Korean Bluetooth earphones are weatherproof, have an effective ANC system and have a battery life of around six hours. Ideal for those with a smartphone of the same brand, but not only, they are on discount from 249 to 199 euros.
Philips Fidelio X2HR
Over-ear headphones at an excellent price give natural sound; with the 50mm Neodrym driver, they give their best with bass. Comfortable ear pads, even during long listening sessions, are down from 139 to 80 euros.
Sennheiser HD 599
The numbers in the name do not indicate the price of the on-ear headphones. They are ergonomic and comfortable on the ear, thanks to the padded headband and the premium material of the earcups. They range from 169 to 80 euros.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra
Linear design and the usual Bose sound reproduction quality for a model made of premium materials to soften contact with the ear. The autonomy of over 20 hours is a marvel for sound lovers, as are the three listening modes (Quiet, Aware and Immersion) with the ANC system to make the difference from 500 to 379 euros.
HP Laser Tank 1604w Printer
Suitable for those who print a good amount of paper, it counts on a 5000-print tender and relies on a 150-sheet input tray, which ensures 22 prints per minute in A4 format. It can also be managed with the HP Smart app and is discounted to 165 euros.
Logitech K380 keyboard
Beautifully shaped and effective in use, it is compact and, therefore, a good choice for those looking for a space-saving Bluetooth keyboard to carry around in a rucksack. It allows you to connect up to 3 devices at the same time, switching from one to the other with a single key. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, Chrome, Android, iOS, and AppleTV. It costs from 59 to 39 euros.

Xiaomi Mesh System A3000
Xiaomi has prepared a list of beautiful proposals for its digital store. There are three of them, starting with the Mesh System A300, which helps to maintain a stable connection in every corner of the house. This concept applies in particular to those with a large extension or a distribution over several floors. So it is worth taking advantage of the pair of month repeaters capable of handling up to 254 devices simultaneously. They cost from 149.99 to 79.99 euros.
Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro
Equipped with a 350W motor with three-speed modes, it has 10-inch tyres that stabilise city streets, thanks to its aluminium frame. With an autonomy of 55 km, it is designed for people between 120 and 200 centimetres tall, with a maximum weight of 120 kg; it costs from 849 to 469 euros.
Xiaomi Smart Camera C300
This is a solution for monitoring the home environment, thanks to the 2K sensor and motorised head that moves 360 degrees horizontally and 108 degrees vertically. You can hang it from the ceiling or leave it on a piece of furniture. It also works at night with infrared, and you can guide it via the app. From €59.99 to €24.99.
Dyson Supersonic
Black Friday also means personal care, so here are a trio of exciting proposals for him and her. The first is Dyson Supersonic, a must for women who want the best for their hair. It has a very distinctive design, not just for the copper-coloured finish version. It has a Dyson V9 digital motor that reaches 110,000 rpm, which, together with Air Multiple technology, dries the hair quickly while protecting it at the same time. From €449 to €349.

Panasonic Series 800 ES-LV67
Another shaver signed by a company with great experience in the sector offers a product equipped with a sensor for automatic adjustment of the motor power according to the density of the beard. Added to this is a 5-blade cutting system for a close shave, a multifunctional head, and a trimmer to take care of the details. Autonomy starts at 50 minutes, and the price range is from 199 to 121 euros.
Oral-B Smart 4 4500
An electric toothbrush allows you to monitor your dental cleaning via the app to check your brushing time and effectiveness, pressure, and gum condition in real-time. It has three modes, including daily cleaning, sensitive teeth, and whitening. Two brush heads are included, and it cost 50 euros.
Fire TV Stick 4K
Most Black Friday shopping is done through Amazon, but the Seattle-based company offers many discounts on its products for the occasion. One example is the Fire TV Stick 4K, which helps transform an old TV into a smart TV using the HDMI socket from 64 to 36 euros.
Echo Show 5
It is small and, therefore, takes up little space, but it is smart and accompanies you throughout the day. It includes timers, voice command support, and automatic routines that make it easier to manage home services (such as turning on lights and adjusting the heating).
