Bargain hunters, the time has come to start keeping your eyes peeled, because black friday deals will be here in a blink.
The four-day shopping extravaganza is no longer just a short-term holiday romance, it’s a full-blown month-long relationship that sees deals land early. Currys always offers some of the best deals on tech, home appliances, TVs and more, so it’s a retailer we keep a beady eye on. And our expert deal-hunters have spotted that the retailer has already started to reduce the price of big-ticket items.
But it’s not the only one. Almost every shop takes part in the sale, including John Lewis & Partners, Amazon, Very, Argos, and many, many others. The sale comes at a great time for anyone looking for a discounted Christmas gift, or the next viral accessory (we’re looking at you, air fryer).
Here’s everything you need to know about black friday 2023, and the early deals you can snap up at now at Currys.

Dyson v15 detect absolute vacuum cleaner: Was £699.99, now £549.99, Currys.co.uk
This is one of Dyson’s most powerful vacuum cleaners, and it earned the top spot in our review of the best cordless vacuum cleaners. Ahead of black friday, it has been reduced by £150. The ‘detect’ part of the V15’s name refers to a light that shines in front of the vacuum to help you spot dust wherever you’re cleaning. An LCD screen shows battery life, the mode you’re using, and how much of each type of dust has been collected, based on particle size. The V15 comes with a bunch of accessories, including an anti-tangle brush to pick up hair and a wall-mounted docking station.
Our reviewer said: “For anyone with pets, lots of comings and goings or just lots of stuff, this is sure to be the niftiest, quickest and most user-friendly way to clean your home. It’s a dream to use, and will make cleaning fun for even those who never pick up a vacuum.”

When is black friday 2023 in the UK?
Although black friday falls in November each year, the exact date tends to shift. It always starts the day after the US holiday Thanksgiving, which means, this year, black friday takes place on Friday 24 November and will end on Monday 27 November (aka Cyber Monday).
When will the Currys black friday sale start in 2023?
These days, retailers rarely start their sales on black friday itself. The shopping season starts earlier and earlier every year. In fact, Currys kicked off the celebrations on 2 November last year, so we essentially got a whole month of savings. And it’s already started dropping early deals.
What were the best Currys black friday deals from last year? And what deals can we expect from the Currys sale in 2023?
Turning back the clock can give us a good indicator as to what kind of deals will be available in the black friday sale. When it comes to Currys deals, we always look out for three big categories: TVs, tech and home appliances.
We saw the retailer discount Sony’s brilliant 55in Bravia XR55A80JU OLED TV by a whopping £400 last year. It also knocked off £150 from the price of Philips’ flashy Ambilight TV (£679, Currys.co.uk), which has LED backlights to extend the picture beyond the TV. We expect even more models to be discounted this year.
In terms of home appliances, Currys discounted the Tefal actifry genius XL air fryer (£254, Currys.co.uk) by a sizeable £100. It also discounted Shark’s anti-hair-wrap cordless vacuum cleaner (£249, Currys.co.uk) by almost half price, while Bosch’s Tassimo coffee machine (£106, Currys.co.uk) fell to just £29 (yes, really). We’re expecting even more air fryers, vacuum cleaners and coffee machine deals to drop this year, too.
When it came to technology, our previous favourite pair of Sony wireless earbuds were discounted by a healthy £50, while Samsung’s Galaxy A13 budget smartphone was discounted by almost £100.
