These deals are most likely to sell out during Black Friday, according to shopping experts
You can expect small home appliances and electronics to sell out quickly this year.
This 55-inch premium television from Sony has a QD-OLED screen that provides crisp, clear image quality and is powered by Google TV, giving you access to thousands of apps, according to the brand. This television is particularly good for PlayStation gamers, as it automatically adjusts the HDR settings on your gaming console to the TV for detailed, high-contrast scenes, according to Sony.
The Dyson Airwrap has been historically a big seller when it goes on sale for Black Friday. Though the jury is still out on whether that tool will be discounted this year, Shark’s FlexStyle has similar benefits and is currently at its lowest price ever. A similar version from the brand made our list of the best blow dryer brushes because you can use the tool as a hair dryer, or you use one of the auto-wrap curlers to add waves to your hair. NBC Select associate social media editor Caitlin Cusack uses this dryer and says it has cut the time she spends on her hair in half. The FlexStyle also uses intelligent heat control to automatically adjust the temperature to avoid burning your hair, according to the brand.
Garmin makes some of our favorite watches for health tracking and, currently, the Forerunner 965 is at its lowest price ever. It has a touchscreen, plus button controls on either side of the watch face. You’ll get up to 23 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and 31 days in GPS mode, according to the brand. “I’ve tested a lot of Garmin watches, including other versions of the Forerunner series — they’re the best option for runners,” says Rabinowitz. “With the 965 in particular, you get some of Garmin’s most advanced training metrics plus maps and navigation built right into the watch.”
The PlayStation 5 version of this popular game has a feature called QB DNA that leverages real quarterback play calls and game situations to allow you to enact player-specific behaviors and signature throwing motions, according to Madden. You can also play in different weather conditions, just like in real life, which impacts how your players move and creates new challenges.
Dyson deals are always a favorite amongst NBC Select editors and readers and this cordless vacuum from the brand is currently on sale. You’ll get up to 40 minutes of suction on a full charge and the Motobar cleaner head works on all types of floors, according to the brand. It comes with a hair screw attachment that’s good for picking up pet hair and a crevice attachment to help you reach between couch cushions and other tight spots. You can also detach the top to use it as a hand vacuum.
I’ve had my eye on a new KitchenAid mixer for quite some time and have noticed that when they do go on sale, they tend to run out quickly. This model comes in 19 colors, all of which are marked down. The mixer comes with a five quart stainless steel bowl, a plastic splash guard and three attachments — a whisk, paddle and dough hook. The tilt head makes it easy to add ingredients to the blow and it has 10 different speeds.
Last year a similar food storage set from Rubbermaid was a top seller amongst NBC Select readers. I have a number of these containers and use them for all my meal prepping needs. I like that they are BPA-free and that the lids have steam vents for when I stick them in the microwave. You get a total of 22 containers of varying sizes with matching lids with this set.
