The Currys Black Friday sale is in full swing, with hefty discounts applied to everything from laptops and TVs to home appliances and phones.
Admirably, Currys says it’s on a mission to rebuild consumer trust in the increasingly confusing annual sale. The retailer’s research found that more than half of shoppers doubt the authenticity of Black Friday discounts, so this year Currys has implemented a price guarantee that none of the products in its Black Friday sale will have been cheaper in the last six months.
At IndyBest we’re committed to finding you genuine discounts on products we’ve tested and think you’ll love, so it’s refreshing to see a retailer hold themselves to a higher standard. (And selfishly, it makes my job a little easier when it comes to finding the best Black Friday deals at Currys.)
Whether you’re after a Shark vacuum cleaner, a laptop deal or a new 4K OLED television, Currys should be one of the first places you check. To help you shop, I’ll be updating this guide to the Currys Black Friday sale throughout November. Check back in with us to find the best deals as they appear.

Best Currys Black Friday deals
PlayStation 5 disc console slim: Was £479, now £400, Currys.co.uk
The PlayStation 5 Slim is just as good as the original full-size PS5, if not better. It’s had a glow-up. It’s slimmer, easier to store away and comes with more internal storage than the previous model. It’s our favourite games console ever made, and this is the best deal I’ve seen on the machine.
Asus Zenbook 14: Was £1,299, now £849, Currys.co.uk
Here’s a fantastic deal on a laptop I rate as one of the best laptops of 2024. The Asus Zenbook 14 features a rich 2.8K OLED display and runs on the powerful Intel Core i9 processor backed up with 16GB of RAM, giving it great performance whether you’re rendering video, editing photos or writing up deals.
LG C4, 55in: Was £1,599, now £1,199, Currys.co.uk
The best-in-class LG C4 gets Currys’ “lowest ever price” guarantee, and I can’t say otherwise. It’s actually another £100 cheaper than it was a few days ago when the retailer first kicked off its Black Friday sale. Launched earlier this year, the LG C4 is an impressive 4K display with self-lit OLED pixels capable of perfectly dark blacks, bright highlights and rich colour reproduction.
Samsung QN85D 55in 4K QLED TV: Was £1,099, now £799, Currys.co.uk
Another great 4K television with a deep discount, the Samsung QN85D has an extra £200 off at Currys, taking it down to £799 in the Black Friday sale. This model launched this year and features smooth 120Hz frame rates, anti-glare and wide-angle viewing, making it a good choice for naturally bright living rooms.
Dyson V8 advanced: Was £329.99, now £229.99, Currys.co.uk
Dyson’s sleek V8 range is among our favourite budget vacuum cleaners. Better yet, you can now save £100 on the advanced model for Black Friday. In our review of the similar V8 absolute vacuum, our tester said: “Just like the priciest models, you won’t have any problem with this machine’s power, thanks to a digital motor that spins at up to 110,000rmp, and Dyson’s standard cyclone technology.” The advanced model is touted as Dyson’s most powerful V8 model yet, complete with 40 minutes of run time and trapping 99.99 per cent of microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns. Characterised by the brand’s distinctive sophisticated style, this vacuum is one to snap up pronto.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 classic: Was £369, now £269, Currys.co.uk
This offer is on the classic edition of the Samsung Galaxy watch 6, which features in my review of the best smartwatches – where I called it “the best Android smartwatch for Samsung users, integrating as seamlessly with Galaxy phones as Apple’s watch does with iPhone”. The classic edition is a little larger and features a classy rotating bezel, and there’s £100 off at Currys.
Ring video doorbell, 3rd gen: Was £99.99, now £59.99, Currys.co.uk
Calling all home-owners, you can save £40 on Ring’s video doorbell 3 thanks to the Currys sale. An upgrade from the original Ring video doorbell 2, the new model features an improved motion detection, as well as a dual band wifi connectivity option. The Ring video doorbells are among some of IndyBest’s favourites, with the second generation version being selected as our overall winner. “This iteration of the Ring doorbell is still up there with one of the best around,” our tester said.
Ninja foodi dual zone air fryer: Was £199.99, now £129, Currys.co.uk
This stylish black and silver air fryer from Ninja is reduced by £50 in the run-up to Black Friday, thanks to Currys. As functional as it is sleek-looking, the appliance features a nifty dual drawer design that enables you to cook separate dishes simultaneously, as well as a huge 7.6l capacity, making it a great choice for larger households. The different functions mean you can air fry, crisp, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate and prove, all with just one handy tool.
Oral-B iO3: Was £159.99, now £49.99, Currys.co.uk
Featured in my review of the best electric toothbrushes, the Oral-B iO3 is the cheapest brush in Oral-B’s premium iO range. Because it uses the same quiet oscillating motor as the rest of the iO series, you effectively get the same great cleaning performance for much less. So what’s the catch? You get fewer brushing modes, a shorter battery life, no LED screen and no gimmicky smart features. It’s down to £49.99 at Currys.
Dyson supersonic hair dryer: Was £329.99, now £249.99, Currys.co.uk
The Dyson supersonic received high praise in the best hair dryers guide, where our tester was blown away by the “incredibly lightweight design, which delivers a real punch of power for fast drying times”. Normally £329.99, the Dyson supersonic currently has £80 off at Currys. Mind you, it has been cheaper in the past – Currys had the Dyson supersonic at £229 in September – which is why the retailer isn’t technically including the deal in its Black Friday line-up.
Shair anti hair wrap with pet tool cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £399, now £229, Currys.co.uk
Clean up, with this £170 saving on Shark’s snazzy cordless vacuum, in the Currys Black Friday sale. The model boasts anti-hair-wrap technology that prevents your vacuum from getting clogged, while its flexology design helps you get to those hard-to-reach spots. Plus, you get up to 60 minutes of use on a single charge, and the duoclean floor head with powerfins gets deep into your carpets, to remove dirt. Shark’s cordless vacuums regularly make it into IndyBest’s guides for good reason.
When is Black Friday 2024 in the UK?
Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which this year is 29 November. But like many other retailers, Currys has started its Black Friday sale early. That means you’ve got all month to shop for discounts.
