SAVE 170: As of Dec. 5, the iRobot Roomba Vac 2 is on sale for 229.99 at Amazon. Roomba is one of the most recognizable names in the robot vacuum game, and that's for good reason. Its top-of-the-range vacuums are the perfect addition to any home, boasting a range of incredible functions and dirt-cleaning features. So it's no surprise that robot vacuums were one of the most heavily discounted items in the recent Black Friday sales, including the fantastic iRobot Roomba Vac 2. This model was discounted in Amazon's Black Friday sale, but it has now dropped further to 229.99, an additional 20 off. This is also the lowest this robot vacuum has ever been priced. Well, like most high-end robot vacuums, the Roomba Vac 2 comes with a self-emptying dock that holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris.

UPDATE: Nov. 30, 2024, 11:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated with current pricing on robot vacuums still on sale during the morning after Black Friday, including ones at Amazon that are now being called Cyber Monday deals. Yet another Black Friday is technically in the rearview, but we all know that the vibes will be alive and well through Cyber Monday. This chaotic shopping weekend often brings flashbacks to last year's frantic shopping -- including the items that you didn't end up buying, and then wished you had all year. If a robot vacuum didn't make the cut last year, let Black Friday 2024 be the time to finally ditch your current clunky vacuum and treat yourself to a significantly shorter chore list. The robot vacs getting attention this Black Friday are packed with high-end features -- ones you may have previously been fine to settle without just because, at full price, they're a really intimidating investment.

SAVE UP TO 55%: Amazon's Black Friday sale is still live, and so are the deals on Amazon Echo devices. While single devices are up to 55% off, save even more when purchasing two Echo devices together. If you're looking to make your home a little smarter, now's the time to shop Amazon's Echo devices. Black Friday brought a flurry of deals that are still here as we get ready for Cyber Monday. Echos are some of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to upgrade your smart home.

Black Friday may be "officially" over, but there are still tons of deals worth grabbing before they're gone. Amazon, in particular, has a wealth of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys on sale that are perfect for kids, teens, and even adults who love to tinker and experiment. Sure, you could just pop the latest video game into your cart and call it a day, but where's the fun in that? With a STEM toy, you can encourage problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning. From solar robots to one-of-a-kind growing kits, here are the best STEM toy deals you'll find on Amazon right now.

UPDATE: Nov. 29, 2024, 10:50 p.m. EST After weeks of waiting to make it official, Black Friday has finally arrived. We're tracking the best deals here, adding new ones when we find them, noting which products have dropped to record-low pricing and which have sold out. We've waited weeks for the big day to finally arrive. Our bellies are full from Thanksgiving dinner, and now it's time to fill our shopping carts. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target kicked off their sales weeks ago, but shopping on actual Black Friday brings surprise deals and extra markdowns.

UPDATE: Nov. 29, 2024, 12:00 p.m. EST This story has been updated with current pricing on robot vacuums on sale during the morning of Black Friday itself, plus a few new Shark, Roomba, and Roborock deals that have gotten slightly cheaper. Yet another Black Friday is (somehow) here, with its arrival often bringing flashbacks to last year's frantic shopping -- including the items that you didn't end up buying, and then wished you had all year. If a robot vacuum didn't make the cut last year, let Black Friday 2024 be the time to finally ditch your current clunky vacuum and treat yourself to a significantly shorter chore list. The robot vacs getting attention deals-wise this Black Friday are packed with high-end features -- ones you may have previously been fine to settle without just because, at full price, they're a really intimidating investment. I'm personally eyeing the number of options that bring home smart mapping and small obstacle avoidance (no more eaten phone chargers) and self-washing and drying mopping pads in the 500 to 700 range.

Shark's robot vacuums often get most of the Shark-related attention during Black Friday because they're one of the most-known Roomba alternatives. But for anyone who isn't completely sold on the idea of their floor care being automated, a cordless stick vacuum upgrade is likely on their radar this season. Shark has strong contenders there, too, two of which I tested and loved: the Shark Detect Pro on sale for 279.99 and the Shark PowerDetect on sale for 349.99 at Amazon this Black Friday. Their auto-empty docks are reason enough to consider them before defaulting to a Dyson -- and this is coming from someone whose ride or die vacuum is a Dyson. This is because the most annoying thing about my Dyson is having to manually empty it.

UPDATE: Nov. 29, 2024, 7:15 a.m. EST As of Nov. 28, Black Friday deals are live on Echo devices. We're tracking the latest prices and noting as products come in and out of stock.

Some of the best savings you'll find during Black Friday are on the small stuff. Yes, you can find hundreds of dollars of savings on big-ticket items like TVs and laptops, but when you actually look at those percentages, things are only maxing out around 25 or 30%. While deal hunting this holiday season, some of the best sales are on products falling under 50. Whether you're looking for kitchen or smart home tech, or a new video game to play during your holiday PTO, here are the best deals under 50 to shop. Amazon's line-up of Echo devices is extensive so why not just make things simple and go with the original?

SAVE 800: As of Nov. 29, the Samsung S90D 65-inch TV is on sale for 1,397.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. You know, the sort of thing you just can't bear to buy at full price. Among the most popular bargains on Black Friday are smart TVs. And Amazon's Black Friday event, which runs from Nov. 21 to Dec. 2, is offering an absolute corker of a deal on a Samsung TV. As of Nov. 29, the Samsung S90D 65-inch TV is priced at 1,397.99, which is a massive saving of 800.
