Black Friday is still a few weeks away but I’m already seeing early deals starting to drop from the likes of Boots, Currys and John Lewis. Argos has also started dishing out early Black Friday discounts across myriad categories, from tech to toys.
With so many deals available, it can be a bit overwhelming but I’m here to do the hard work for you, tracking down the crème de la crème of the early Argos Black Friday deals.
Here at IndyBest, we’re veterans when it comes to events such as Black Friday, and I and the rest of the team have already been forecasting what to expect from top names in 2024, including Apple, Pandora, Zara and Nintendo – I recommend reading our shopping guides, in which you’ll find the most impressive deals before and during the main Black Friday event.
A one-stop shop for savings on big-name brands in previous years (think Lego, De’Longhi, Revlon and BaByliss), Argos discounted products from the likes of Xbox, Dyson and Amazon’s brand Ring last year, and you can snap up more savings on your favourite brands this November, too.
Whether you’re looking to save money on an air fryer, TV, gaming gear or beauty tools, Argos has you covered. Below, I’ve picked out some savings you can shop right now.
Best early Argos Black Friday deals
Oral-B pro 3 3500 white: Was £100, now £35, Argos.co.uk
This model was rated best in class in our review of the best electric toothbrushes. With this generous Black Friday offer, the Oral-B pro 3 3500 is less than half price. It provides a daily clean, sensitive, and whitening mode, and a timer with 30-second pacing buzzes. In our review, it stood out for “its refreshing simplicity”, while the “oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean”. The result? Our reviewer was happy with the pro 3 3500’s cleaning power, noting how their teeth “felt fresh and thoroughly scrubbed, delivering that satisfying ‘just been to the dentist’ sensation”.
Shark anti hair wrap cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £320, now £150, Argos.co.uk
Leading the way with its innovative technology and wide array of vacuum cleaners, Shark has launched its Black Friday sale, but, you can also secure deals from third-party retailers, such as this very impressive discount at Argos. Currently less than half price, this model features Sharks’ anti hair wrap technology (this removes hair from its brushroll while you’re hoovering), runs for up to 40 minutes once charged, and comes complete with a crevice tool and an upholstery tool.
Ninja 7.6l foodi dual zone air fryer and dehydrator AF300UK: Was £149, now £119, Argos.co.uk
Upon putting this air fryer from Ninja to the test, our reviewer found that food cooked “faster and ended up a lot tastier and crispier compared to cooking in the other air fryer models”, which was owing to its impressive 2,470W of power. It features six settings, including roast, bake, crisp and more, and there are two drawers which can be synced to finish cooking what’s in them simultaneously. And you can snap it up with a Black Friday discount at the moment.
Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumiser: Was £50, now £25, Argos.co.uk
When our reviewer put this Tiktok viral hot brush to the test, they said: “Its appeal lies in its affordability and the volume it delivers. In our experience, it performs best when you work on hair in sections. Twisting your wrist as you glide through strands gives your locks a speedy volume boost.” Our tester added: “It doesn’t get tangled or leave hair frizzy, although, it is pretty weighty, so bare that in mind.” Right now, you can snap one up for half price, thanks to Argos’s Black Friday sale.
Garmin vivoactive 5 smart watch: Was £229, now £199, Argos.co.uk
Taking the top spot in our guide to the best Garmin watches, the vivoactive 5 features a sleek, streamlined design. Our tester loved that it weighs “next to nothing (23g, to be precise)”, which meant they barely noticed it on their wrist. It is able to track fitness metrics such as steps, heart rate, distance, calories burned, sleep quality, and more than 30 preloaded sports. Our tester was also impressed by this device’s sleep coaching capability and its price, which has just been slashed by £30 at Argos.
Tefal easy fry dual XXL 11l air fryer, EY9428G0: Was £200, now £119, Argos.co.uk
Looking for a large air fryer to make cooking different foods a quick and simple affair? This Tefal model could be the answer. With a large drawer for the star of the show and a smaller drawer for side dishes, you can whip up all sorts of meals in one go with this appliance. With an 11l capacity, it should be roomy enough for up to six portions, and it now comes with a tasty £80 discount.
Dyson fan and air purifier: Was £700, now £550, Argos.co.uk
Dubbed the best ‘do-everything model’ in our guide to top fans, this nifty appliance left our reviewer impressed. “It’s a sleek dream machine all round,” they praised. The “super-effective heater and excellent air purifier” ramped up whenever it detected pollutants in our tester’s home. They especially loved the fact they could see how clean the air was on the LED screen on the front of the fan. Now, you can save a whopping £150 on the Dyson device.
Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon collector series set: Was £735, now £525, Argos.co.uk

Snap up a discount on this electric shaver. A similar Philips 5000 series model was dubbed the best value for money rotary shaver in our review. “This smart device reads and adapts to the beard density as it goes to work, ensuring you always get the most efficient shave”, our tester said. Thanks to this Black Friday deal, you can save £30 on this wet and dry grooming gizmo.

Fans of Disney’s Stitch can’t fail to be enchanted by this colourful Lego character.
