PS5, AirPods, Ninja air fryers and more – Argos Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals worth your time
Black Friday at Argos is in full swing - we've rounded up the best deals we've spotted so far this Cyber Monday weekend
It’s Black Friday weekend, and Argos is celebrating the only way it knows how – with cracking deals. I’m excited, and you should be too: we generally find that Argos offers some of the best discounts around (aside from Amazon, of course) and this year is no exception.
I’ve asked my exhausted colleagues for the best Argos Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals they’ve come across on their travels, and they’ve all reluctantly obliged. Below you’ll find their picks (and mine – I’m a bit of an expert myself, believe it or not). We’ve got everything from smartphones to coffee machines; I dare you to find nothing of interest here.
Oh, and remember to check out our main Black Friday deals roundup for the full list of bargains, not just at Argos.
How we choose our deals
Our process for selecting which deals we share is more stringent than you might think. We have a dedicated article that explains how we find the best deals for you, but the gist is simple: wherever possible, we only recommend deals that are at least cheaper than average, and only on products that we’ve reviewed. Where we can’t be certain, or we haven’t yet reviewed something, we’ll always tell you.
Our experts have been testing products and scouting deals for years, so our judgement is excellent, but we use tools such as The Camelizer to track historic Amazon prices and inform our decisions.
The Argos Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals worth your time (and money)
1. Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB (was £749, now £499)
This £400 discount on last year’s excellent Google Pixel 8 Pro is so sensational that I bought it myself. If that’s not endorsement enough, our smartphone expert Ben Johnston loved the phone when he reviewed it.
2. Ninja DoubleStack XL (avg £246, now £189)
The Ninja DoubleStack XL picked up a near-perfect score in our review – resident kitchen expert Danielle loved how fast, effective and space-conscious this air fryer is. Grab it for £57 less.
3. Sony PlayStation 5 (was £370, now £310)
Everyone’s favourite games console is currently going cheap at Argos – and unlike last year, stock is holding steady. I gave the PS5 full marks in my full review, but you don’t need me to tell you how great Sony’s latest machine is.
4. Toshiba UV2F53DB (was £329, now £249)
This Toshiba telly hasn’t passed across our expert’s desk, but the price tag and specs are simply too good to ignore, so Andy gave it his seal of approval anyway. Comes with Freeview built-in.
5. Ninja Foodi Dual Zone (was £120, now £100)
“What every good air fryer should be.” That’s how our expert Jamie (who has spent a whole week eating nothing but air-fried food) described the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone – so grab it. Now.
6. Ring Video Doorbell Plus (was £140, now £90)
Video doorbells are ubiquitous – so why not jump on the bandwagon? The Ring Video Doorbell Plus impressed our head of reviews Jonathan Bray (a notoriously hard man to please) with its ease of use and wide field of view.
7. Shark Stratos (was £349, now £200)
I know I’ve repeated myself a lot, but this really is a great deal. £200 for the Dyson-rivalling Shark Stratos – which nearly picked up full marks in our review, courtesy of phenomenal performance in our tests – isn’t something to sniff at.
8. MacBook Air M3 (was £949, now £849)
Deals on Apple products don’t come around often, so our head of reviews Jonathan Bray insisted that I mention this £100 saving on Apple’s most recent MacBook Air (13.6in). Still expensive, but you take what you can get.
9. Ninja Speedi (avg £180, now £140)
Danielle and Jamie, our air fryer experts, both suggested this small saving on the Ninja Speedi – it’s actually better than Argos might have you believe. This is a gem of a multi-cooker that picked up full marks in our review thanks to its exceptionally rapid cooking speed.
10. Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen (was £229, now £179)
The AirPods Pro 2 need no introduction – they sound exceptional, says our head of reviews, and their noise cancellation is remarkably good. And as I said before, Apple deals don’t come around often, so pounce now.
11. Oral-B iO3 (was £160, now £60)
Toothbrushes are often subject to misleading discounts, which makes this legitimate and hefty saving extra rare. The Oral-B iO3 is a mid-range model with a few of Oral-B’s advanced features for less – much less, at the moment.
