Robot vacuums are more expensive than ever, with many models from popular brands like Dyson and Shark starting at $1,200. But you usually don't have to pay such a high price tag for a great model—you just have to wait for a good sale.
Black Friday marks a good time to find a ton of robot and stick vacuums on sale, but you don't have to wait to score the holiday deals. (In fact, we've already spotted great early Black Friday sales you don't want to miss .)
One of our favorite robot vacuum brands, Roborock, has discounts live ahead of its official Black Friday sale, which kicks off November 19. Two great picks include the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro (one of my top vacuums overall) and the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 . Each is currently available for less than $700, which is a great price for getting a smart and powerful robot vacuum that doubles as a mop.

Well ahead of Black Friday, the MacBook Air is already $200 off , bringing down the price of the 13-inch model with an M5 chip, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage to $1,099.
This is the lowest price the MacBook Air has been at since June, when Apple permanently hiked prices across its entire Mac lineup . Amazon frequently sells this MacBook Air for $1,149, but this even lower price is usually reserved for big sales events—the last being in October during Prime Day. And now it's back.

While the Friday after Thanksgiving has traditionally been the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday deals have gradually spread well beyond the day. First came Cyber Monday, then Cyber Week. Now, early Black Friday deals kick off before November has even started. The tricky part for early birds is knowing what’s a genuine deal and what’s likely to go even lower when Black Friday arrives.
The Reviews team at WIRED tracks prices on our favorite gadgets year-round, and we only highlight deals on devices we've tested and would recommend to our own friends and family. Some of these picks may be cheaper for Black Friday, but these are the discounts that have caught our eye so far.
Updated November 11: We've added new deals on headphones, mobile accessories, kitchen appliances, vacuums, and more. We also removed some discontinued deals and checked for accuracy throughout.
