The Argos Black Friday sale has landed – and it’s the retailer’s biggest yet. With hundreds of deals on everything from tech to toys , I’m handpicking the crème de la crème in this round-up. Better yet, most of the products are tried and tested by the expert IndyBest team, so you know your investment is worthwhile.
Highlights include a 65 per cent discount on our top-rated electric toothbrush , Oral-B’s pro 3 3500 white, (was £100, now £35, Argos.co.uk ), while Revlon’s TikTok viral one-step hair dryer and volumiser is now half price (was £50, now £25, Argos.
co.uk ). There are also savings of £150 on vacuum cleaners from Samsung , Eufy and Dyson , and up to 50 per cent off toys, so you can get ahead on your Christmas shopping while saving some cash.
There are also deals on Argos washing machines and other essentials to give your kitchen a boost – Argos coffee machine, anyone? When searching for the best deals, it’s a good idea to look for Argos’ “price promise” badge – if a product is marked with one of these green stickers, it won’t get any cheaper before 25 December. Follow live: Black Friday deals and expert shopping tips The IndyBest team has been working across sales events such as Black Friday for years. Myself and the team know that bringing you the best deals isn’t just about finding the best discounts, it’s also about spotting the best savings on top-rated, high-performing products that we’ve tested, and from brands that we trust.
When it comes to Argos, I know what a good Black Friday deal is compared to a discount that might be available all-year-round. The brand’s “price promise” badge helps inform purchases. This model was rated best in class in our review of the best electric toothbrushes .
With this generous Black Friday offer, the Oral-B pro 3 3500 is less than half price. It provides a daily clean, sensitive, and whitening mode, and a timer with 30-second pacing buzzes. In our review, it stood out for “its refreshing simplicity”, while the “oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean”.
The result? Our reviewer was happy with the pro 3 3500’s cleaning power, noting how their teeth “felt fresh and thoroughly scrubbed, delivering that satisfying ‘just been to the dentist’ sensation”. Looking to score a saving on the PS5? Resident tech expert Alex has been busy rounding up the best offers . And I’ve spotted that Argos has slashed the price of the console just in time for Christmas.
When tech writer Steve reviewed it, he said: “The PS5 packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC.” I predict a sell-out here, so run, don’t walk. Senior writer Daisy spotted this impressive deal on her favourite hair dryer.
In short, the beauty team vowed that the supersonic “drastically decreases the amount of time spent drying your hair and leaves it far shinier and healthier than the majority of hair dryers”. This is a rare saving on such a high-tech beauty tool. Home tech expert Zoe has reviewed the best video doorbells , and she gave the 2nd generation ring doorbell the top spot, thanks to its easy installation and minimal lag time.
“Once set up, it enables you to talk to people on your doorstep through the easy-to-navigate app, even when you’re not at home,” she said. Perfect for ensuring all those Black Friday goodies make it home, hassle-free. The Airpods Pro are Apple’s priciest in-ear headphones, so if you want to buy a pair, Black Friday is the time to take the plunge.
If you do decide to invest, you’ll get a pair of earbuds that “are feature-packed, comfortable and, above all, offer sensational audio,” according to our expert tester David Phelan’s review . If you’re looking to save some cash on a new TV during the sale, Argos has slashed the price of this 4K TV from LG by £100. This is another deal that comes with the retailer’s price promise guarantee.
The TV features voice control and the ‘magic’ remote, which enables you to navigate the display using motion, where you’ll be able to access Freeview Play, Disney+ and other apps. In our review of the best wireless headphones , tech writer, Alex , found that these were the best in class when it came to noise cancellation – in fact, he could “barely hear anything with these on”. What’s more, the sound quality really impressed him.
“Our tunes sounded rich and melodious, with some real precision when it was needed”, he said. “It didn’t struggle with any instruments, separating them all beautifully, and vocals came across clearly.” You can save a third (that’s a price cut of £150) on the headphones right now.
Argos is here to help you get ahead of the Christmas shopping with an amazing selection of top-of-the-line toys, including one of our favourite, the Toniebox, which has been reduced by 20 per cent. When hunting for the best gifts for two-year-olds our parenting expert Sarah found the Tonies Toniebox to be the best buy for screen-free fun. She wrote: “For a gift that will be used on repeat and for many years to come, the Toniebox is a standout choice.
A child-friendly audio player that helps bring music and stories to life”. Tech writer Steve featured several models from Eufy in his review of the best robot vacuum cleaners , so, while he hasn’t tested this particular model before, the brand is one we trust. The G50 is cordless, equipped to run for up to 120 minutes once charged, and can fit beneath furniture to ensure a thorough clean.
The soft mop pad and water tank mean this model will work as a mop, too. It’s reduced by £81 at the moment, so now’s a great time to invest. If you’re looking for more robot vacuum cleaner discounts, you’re in luck.
Argos has also applied a massive £150 price cut to Samsung’s jet bot cordless robot vacuum cleaner (was £500, now £350, Argos.co.uk ), which is a model Steve tried himself.
In his review, he dubbed it the best for remote operation. Upon testing Dyson’s V15s detect submarine, home appliance expert Siobhan found that it worked just as well as any Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner, but the mopping function is what they were most excited about. It was “simple to fill the tank with water and clean, and you can even add a drop of detergent”, she praised.
The vacuum cleaner also features “a fluffy optic cleaner head that reveals hidden dust with its laser, a hair screw tool to blitz ground-in hair and a sensor to measure microscopic particles and increase suction power as needed”. Equipped to fry, boil and even go in the oven, this do-it-all non-stick frying pan has been a staple in my kitchen for over a year. In my review , I said that it “performed brilliantly, whether or not we were cooking with oil – pancakes, vegan sausages and more were a non-stick zone”.
The best part? It’s half price, owing to this deal in the Argos Black Friday sale. Looking for a deal on a mattress topper? Well, there’s a 25 per cent discount on this one from Silentnight. It’s non-allergenic and designed to provide an extra layer of support and comfort to your mattress.

A heated clothes airer, like this one from Argos Home, is a great way to speed up laundry drying times. This model can hold up to 10kg of laundry, which is said to be equivalent to one load of washing, and, when it’s not in use, it can be folded away flat.
Inexpensive as far as these appliances go, Argos has reduced its price to £40. With many coffee machines costing hundreds of pounds, this automatic pod model is a steal, thanks to Argos’s Black Friday sale. This discount also comes with the retailer’s price promise, so, it won’t get any cheaper before the end of the Black Friday sales.
Billed as producing a thick, velvety crema, the machine comes with cappuccino, americano, and flat white pods, to get you started. BaByliss took the top spot in our review of the best hair dryers and, while it was with a different model (the BaByliss 3Q , if you’re curious), it’s safe to say that this brand knows how to produce a high-performing hair tool. Now, this 5336CU elegance hair dryer, which features two speed and three temperature settings, including a cool shot for hold, is half price – at just £26, this is a steal.
The Dyson corrale hair straighteners have a loyal following, and for good reason. In assistant eCommerce editor Sarah’s review , she dubbed the straighteners as a “truly innovative tool.” She went on to say they make “styling your hair – whether that’s straight or curly – a breeze”, owing to being cordless.
What’s more, the flexing plates “make straightening in one pass a reality, meaning your hair can be heat-styled quickly and with less heat damage”.

Currently less than half price, this model features Sharks’ anti hair wrap technology (this removes hair from its brushroll while you’re hoovering), runs for up to 40 minutes once charged, and comes complete with a crevice tool and an upholstery tool.
