Black Friday is almost upon us, but are any of the upcoming deals actually any good? To help you make up your mind, we've sifted through all the best deals for each retailer who's already published their deals ahead of time. Currys and PC World, for instance, will have a massive 323 items on sale this Friday, but we've sifted the wheat from the chaff, bringing you the best products along with the best prices.
TVs
If you're looking for a brand-new TV, Black Friday is an excellent time to buy one, as Currys has slashed hundreds of pounds off several models this year, ranging from high-end 4K sets to entry-level smart TVs. This includes the Samsung UE50JU6800, a 50in 4K TV which costs just £698 (down from £999 at the end of last month). Even better, those with larger living rooms can save £600 on the 4K Samsung UE60JU6000, which now costs £899.
If you fancy something a bit more eye-catching, the curved Samsung UE40JU6740 is also on sale for £748, down from £849 at the end of September. This is a great price for a curved 4K TV, although the size of just 40in might put some people off. The 55in version is also on sale, but here you're only saving £50, as the sale price is £1,149 down from £1,999. However, you can also save a further 10% by entering a special code on Curry's website, taking the final price down to £1,035.
Alternatively, the 50in LG 50LF580V is on sale for just £429, down from £549. This is a 1,080p set that comes with several smart services, such as BBC iPlayer, Demand 5, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Now TV and BlinkBox.
Soundbars and Speakers
LG's NB3540 soundbar and subwoofer combo was one of our favourite soundbars of 2014, and now the latest version, the NB4540 is also on sale for just £239. The design has changed since last year, but this is still a great soundbar for those who want to add a little more oomph to their TV speakers without breaking the bank.
Alternatively, the UE Roll wireless speaker is another great sound system that you can take on the move. This is now down to £80, giving you a saving of £20. We loved it when we reviewed the UE Roll back in September, as it's not only quite eye-catching, but it's also very light and compact, making it a great travel companion.
Laptops
The Toshiba Satellite P50-C-18K is a 15.6in laptop with a dedicated graphics card, and it can be yours for just £700 - bagging you a saving of £200 compared to its price earlier in the month. Here, you get one of Intel's new Skylake Core i5 processors, 16GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 930M graphics chip, a Full HD screen and a 256GB SSD - making it a pretty good deal for those after a good all-round laptop.
Tablets
The Acer Iconia One 8 was £150 when we reviewed it earlier in the year, but now you can get one for just £100. It's not the best budget tablet you can buy, but now that the Tesco Hudl 2 has been discontinued, it is one of the better slates you can get for £100. It's fast and has Acer's Precision Plus screen technology, which lets you draw on the screen with an actual pencil, making it handy for note-taking and doodling alike.
Smartphones
Now that Carphone Warehouse is officially part of Currys and PC World, it means you can also get some great savings on some of this year's best smartphones. One of the best is the Samsung Galaxy S6, which you can buy for £350 SIM-free - that's a saving of £130 on one of this year's top handsets. You can read more about the Galaxy S6 in our in-depth review.
Kindles
It's not much of a saving, but Currys will be offering £25 off the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite this Friday, taking it down to £85 (see our Paperwhite review for full details), and £10 off the basic Kindle to just £50. Our Kindle review has more information about the product, but you might also want to check out our Kindle head-to-head article to make sure you buy the right eReader for you.
Washing Machines
Samsung's EcoBubble WF80F5E0W4W is up for grabs this Friday for just £299 - a saving of £201 compared to the price it was earlier in October. We really liked the 2013 model, the WF80F5E5U4W, so we expect the WF80F5E0W4W will live up to the same high standards.
That said, those after a slightly bigger washing machine will want to check out the Samsung EcoBubble WW10H9600EW, which now costs just £1,149, down from £1,599. This is one of the best washing machines you can currently buy, but check out our review to get a better idea about its smart features and whether it's the right washing machine for you.
