We love these products — and their price tags. (Amazon)
You'd probably be astonished to find out how many hours we've spent this past year putting hundreds of products through vigorous testing to surface the gems for you, our dear readers. Some of the products we tested were great — some awful — but a few rose to the very top of the heap. We crowned the best ones in every category, a process that is never truly complete, and now we're hunting down the best Black Friday deals on the best products.
We're no gatekeepers (in fact, sometimes we can't shut up about the products we love most), so we make it our business to remind you of some of these worth-it goods and let you know they're on sale. If you’ve been following our editors' recommendations for a while and have your eye on something, scroll down to see if now is the time to finally add it to your cart. We'll update this list as more of our best-reviewed products go on sale.
If you've ever wished your TV looked more like a piece of art when you weren't watching anything, one of our picks for the best art TVs could be a great option for you. Veteran Tech Editor Rick Broida's favorite is The Frame from Samsung, which "easily bests" the competition, and it's on sale for Black Friday
This sleek toothbrush is on mega-sale today. With a handy carrying case, it's perfect for travel, too.
Go for the gold! Made of titanium, the band is durable, water-resistant and lightweight.
This coffee maker impressed me in my testing with its versatility. Want to simply brew and go? Just set it and forget it. Prefer to get a little nerdy about your java? Experiment with the various functions: You can control brew strength and the temperature of the warming plate.
It comes with lots of accessories, including a coffee scoop, charcoal water filter, paper filters and a reusable gold-tone filter.
More of a Nespresso person? Our favorite of all the Nespresso machines we tested is also on sale for Black Friday. Dodell-Feder says this nifty one-button machine made her mornings “about a million times better.” Not only does this pod coffee maker take the guesswork out of brewing your daily dose of caffeine, it also throws your used pods away for you. Oh, and it's on sale.
A sale on these wireless earbuds, our fave budget pick in the category, is just music to our ears. And right now, you can get a pair at their lowest price ever. Broida, who is our resident tech editor and a certified music snob, marveled at these affordable buds when he tested them. "How can $40 earbuds possibly be this good?” he asked. But he’s going to have to change his tune during this Black Friday sale: How can $25 earbuds possibly be this good?
Any home gym worth its weight (barbell?) needs a good resistance band. We tested more than a dozen to find the best of the best, eventually crowning this Living Fit 8-piece set the winner. You'll get two bands in four sizes (two of each size), each with a different resistance level. Our tester loved how durable they were — and we don't hate the lifetime warranty, either.
The jetsetting Yahoo editorial team loves this bag for its anti-theft capabilities, like RFID-blocking pockets and lockable zippers. If you've got any trips planned for the new year, you could do worse than this versatile cross-body bag, our overall top pick for best travel purses. And yes, it's on sale.
I once dropped off my checked luggage with a TSA agent only to watch them toss it onto a pile of other bags and yell "Opa!" Since then, I've gotten a lot more interested in hard-side luggage. And of all the options we've tested, this one from Delsey Paris came out on top — the top of the TSA heap, sure, but also the top of our list. We love that it's expandable, lightweight, super-roomy and even kind of chic. We recommend grabbing one while it's on sale.
Sure, warm socks are great, but have you ever tried heated socks? Style Editor Rebecca Carhart sure has. After testing all the top options, Carhart found a clear winner in this Savior pair, which fit easily inside boots, heated up quickly, and warmed her toes even when not turned on. Don’t get cold feet, because this Black Friday deal isn’t going to last forever.
Once you've cooked with a good chef's knife, you'll never go back to a sub-par blade. Home Editor Lisa Schweitzer called this winning slicer the Goldilocks of the category, saying it made everything she cut feel "as soft as Marshmallow Fluff." One thing she didn't love was the price, but this Black Friday deal completely chops up that criticism.
What if we told you the best pizza oven we've ever tested could be yours for $100 off during this Black Friday sale? The moon hit our eye like a big pizza oven when we tested this Gozney model, which we loved for its protective coating, minimal setup and that you can use it for more than just pizza. We think this year might be the year you finally become a pizzaiolo.
Our pick for best cookware set is already pretty affordable for how great it is. But the value's even higher this Black Friday, with a 30% discount. We love that these pots and pans can go from stove to oven, and Schweitzer said that during testing, her scrambled eggs "slid right out of the pan and left no residue."
There was a clear winner when Schweitzer did her testing to find the best Dutch oven. This Le Creuset beauty stands the test of time. Schweitzer has been using hers for almost twenty years and says it still works as well as it did on day one. She calls the price "an investment," but slightly less so during this sale.
Our veins are like 50% coffee at this point in the year, so we're big fans of the single-serve coffee maker. The best Keurig machine, according to Senior Home and Garden Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder, is the K-Café Barista Bar, which is currently on sale for 30% off. That's only a few bucks over its lowest price of the year. Dodell-Feder loves this coffee maker for its ease of use, its "over ice" option, and its included milk frother.
You know what they say: Two monitors are better than one. Yep, even if you're on the go. Our budget pick for best portable monitor after extensive testing was this one from MNN, which you can get for even less right now. Other portable monitors we tried are priced in the several-hundred-dollar range, so this really is a steal.
When we conducted our testing to find the best car vacuum, this one from ThisWorx fared the best for detailing. This small but mighty cleaner outperformed models that cost more than double, and today, it's even more affordable — especially when you make use of our Yahoo-exclusive code 5Thisworx5.
The verdict is in, and the best streaming device overall is the Roku Ultra. Broida, who "watches an embarrassing amount of TV" (his words!), prizes its clean interface and simplicity of use. It's also got a great voice remote and delivers a crisp picture. Best of all, it's on sale for Black Friday.
Our pick for the best car vacuum overall is also on sale this Black Friday, bringing it under $100. This model is great for those hard-to-reach spots (we're looking at you, crumbs that have been living under our seat for years), and packs the punch of a much heftier model.
Finding a vacuum that doesn't suck — sorry, we had to — can be pretty much a full-time job. And for Home Writer Kristin Granero, it was. After rigorous testing, Granero crowned a winner: The best cordless stick vacuum is the Tineco Pure, which beat out the likes of Dyson, Kenmore and Shark. Its solid performance, a brush head that "swivels like a dream," and a competitive price (even more competitive right now) made it the clear winner. Amazon just slashed $100 off the price like it’s nothing, so we suggest hoovering this one up before it's too late.
The best robot vacuum we've ever tested is on mega-sale right now — almost half off. This robot will both vacuum and mop, looks slick, stays fairly quiet and required the least human intervention in our testing. Especially at this price, it'll give Rosey the robot maid a run for her money.
