It’s no secret that Black Friday is second to none when it comes to deals, but if there’s one sale that’s worth bookmarking, it’s Shark’s.
Despite the Black Friday event officially starting on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US (this year, it will fall on 29 November), Shark’s sale is well underway. Right now, you can save up to £100 on vacuum cleaners, while the brand’s hair tools are also seeing their prices slashed.
It’s not just Shark discounting its range, either. Elsewhere, major retailers like Argos, John Lewis, Currys and Amazon are dropping early Black Friday offers, which shouldn’t be overlooked.
And, from tech to toys, myself and the team will be bringing you top Black Friday deals in our dedicated shopping guides, and for all the highlights, you can also follow along with our liveblog.

This tool could change the game for your styling and drying routine, so this deal is well worth a look.

Ahead of Black Friday, you can secure a discount on our favourite tried-and-tested cordless vacuum. Our tester was delighted by the power and ease of use, saying: “If having a clean home fills you with joy, the Shark stratos will make you euphoric. The suction power on carpet and hard floors is a dream. It’s constantly working out what power levels you need to pick up the most mess. All you have to do is steer.”

In our review of the original Shark speedstyle, our tester was impressed with how quickly the device dried their hair, and praised the inclusion of different attachments for creating a “super sleek finish”. They added: “The size and weight of the dryer itself is a huge plus point because it’ll be easy for travelling with, alongside the fact it doesn’t go over 110C, meaning it shouldn’t cause any heat damage.” This deal means you can save a modest £30 on the hair tool.

Using air instead of heat as a way to style and dry, it comes with five different attachments, while the smoothstyle, a hair drying brush and straightening tool, is also gentle on your hair, as it doesn’t hit temperatures high enough to damage hair.

When will Shark Black Friday deals start in 2024?
Officially, Black Friday always falls on the Friday following Thanksgiving in the US. In 2024, the Black Friday sale will begin on Friday 29 November and last for four days before culminating on Cyber Monday (2 December). That being said, many big-name brands and retailers don’t wait until then, Shark included. Indeed, Black Friday-specific deals can already be found on Shark’s site, alongside its ongoing offers.
