The best Currys Black Friday 2021 deals to shop now
Apple AirPods 2nd gen: Was £139, now £99, Currys.co.uk
Then 2nd gen AirPods are on sale for under £100 at Currys this Black Friday. In our review of the buds, our writer said that “the second-generation versions are a fantastic pair of entry-level earbuds that are comfortable to wear and extremely convenient”.
The in-ear white plastic tips have a one-size-fits-all design. This might not suit everyone, but our writer found that the buds “fitted comfortably and securely” in their ears, “even when running and in the gym”. There has never been a better time to buy a pair.
Dyson V11 absolute cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £599, now £439, Currys.co.uk
As well as fans and hair-styling tools, Dyson is renowned for its vacuums – but they don’t come cheap. Luckily for us, Currys has slashed the price on the V11 model by £150 in its Black Friday sale. The appliance came out on top over the Dyson V7 model in our head-to-head review, with our tester saying it “is the best cordless vacuum we’ve tried and moreover, is quite unlike anything else on the market.” They added: “It lasts longer on a single run, is more automated and has more features… In short, the V11 is the crème-de-la-crème of cordless vacs.” It’s a no brainer really.
Apple iPhone 12 pro: Was £949, now £899, Currys.co.uk
The less expensive iPhone 12 pro model has many of the same features as the pro max, including the ceramic-shield screen technology, the A14 bionic chip and the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. In our review of the phone, we praised the “sleek stainless steel finish” and the “lovely new flat-edge design, harking back to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 days”. If you’re looking to upgrade, there’s no better time as Curry’s offering £50 off the model right now in its Black Friday sale.
LG PN7 xboom go portable Bluetooth speaker: Was £169, now £84.50, Currys.co.uk
With up to 24 hours battery life and excellent water resistance, you’ll want to take this sturdy Bluetooth speaker everywhere you go. Using the nifty party link feature, you’re able to connect other speakers to the system, creating the perfect multi-room setup. Audio quality is excellent thanks to technology from Meridian Audio, and the coloured lighting that responds to the beat of the music is also a nice touch.
Amazon Echo dot, 3rd generation: Was £39.99, now £18.99, Currys.co.uk
Although it is not the newest Echo dot, the third-generation version is still an impressive device. It was previously included in our guide to the best smart speakers, with The Independent’s technology critic, David Phelan, praising its impressive performance at such a reasonable price. This device “can do all the Alexa-related tasks that the most advanced speakers do, such as answering questions, turning home gadgets on or off, and so on”. And we think it’d make a great alarm clock, too. So, if you’re looking for an affordable way to bring some smart tech into your home, then this is the one for you – especially now it’s only £18.99.
Apple HomePod mini: Was £89, now £69, Currys.co.uk
This is probably one of the best deals you’ll ever find on Apple’s fabulous smart speaker. The tech giant’s HomePod mini can rarely ever be found with a discount, but Currys is selling the space grey version with £20 off. “It offers fantastic sound for its size and plenty of smart features for its price,” our writer said in their review of the speaker. “It’s incredibly easy to set up on an Apple device, looks fantastic, and does everything you could want of it while taking up a tiny amount of space in any room.”
Huawei watch GT 2 Pro, night black, 46mm: Was £199, now £139, Currys.co.uk
A fitness-focused smart watch that’s stylish enough to wear to around the clock, the Huawei watch GT 2 pro can be found at Currys with a £60 discount. It can track 100 different types of workouts – which is more workouts than we could even name – and has built in GPS for tracking your speed and location during runs without needing to pair with a phone.
Tefal actifry genius+ FZ773840 air fryer: Was £220, now £99, Currys.co.uk
Cook up a storm in the kitchen with this air fryer that featured in our review of the best. Owing to its nifty features, including a self-stirring paddle, preset functions and automatic temperature adjustments, “you’re in air-fryer heaven” here. As for its cooking performance, all you have to do is “bung in your chopped up raw potatoes with a tiny amount of oil”, and you’ll “return later to faultless, evenly cooked fries”. A must-have appliance for any foodies among us.
Fitbit sense: Was £279, now £189, Currys.co.uk
Thanks to the Currys Black Friday sale, you can save nearly £100 on one of Fitbit’s bestselling wearables. Taking the crown in our round-up of the best Fitbits, the sense seriously impressed our reviewer who said it was “one of the best all-round smartwatches we’ve tried”. They added: “It has the most comprehensive scope of health features in both the Fitbit range and potentially in the smartwatch market full stop.” Lauding the device’s high-tech stress, breathing and heart-rate monitors, as well as the crystal clear display, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and hundreds of apps, our tester said the sense is “a multi-layered, premium smartwatch that rivals all big tech alternatives”.
Sony WF-1000XM4 noise cancelling earphones: Was £249, now £199, Currys.co.uk
There’s currently £50 off the Sony WF-1000XM4 earphones. The best of 2021, they’re a pair of noise-cancelling buds packed with clever features and supremely luscious audio fidelity. The earbuds can sense when you’re moving around and dial in the noise cancellation to suit your surroundings, ramping up when you’re on public transport or allowing in traffic sounds if you’re walking near a road. In our round-up of the best wireless earbuds of 2021, our reviewer praised the earphones’ bass response and overall quality. “Although these are small, light earbuds, they manage significant bass as well as great, precise clarity in higher notes. At once delicate and powerful, they have some of the best audio of any wireless headphones.”
Philips 58PUS9006/12 58in smart 4K ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant: Was £949, now £699, Currys.co.uk
There’s £170 off this 58in smart TV, which comes with the brand’s “ambilight” feature, where colourful LEDs around the four sides of the TV project light onto your walls. It also comes with a built in Freeview HD tuner and supports Dolby Vision for bright colour and contrast, and Dolby Atmos for clear deep sound. Google Assistant voice control is built-in too, allowing you to use the TV as the centre of your smart-home system. Although we haven’t tried this exact TV, we’re big fans of Philips here at IndyBest, with a similar model featuring in our guide to the best 4K TVs. For more discounts on TVs from Samsung, LG, Hisense and more, check out our guide to the best Black Friday TV offers.
Google nest mini, 2nd gen: Was £49, now £18, Currys.co.uk
We reviewed the earlier model of the Google nest mini and were pretty impressed. Our tester called it a “great bit of kit", with sound that "comfortably outperforms its size and microphones that cope with most situations with ease, with the vital feature of offering the best voice assistant on the market”. With a saving of over 40 per cent, this is quite an offer.
Samsung QE65QN94AATXXU 65in smart 4K: Was £2,299, now £1,699, Currys.co.uk
This ultra HD HDR neo QLED TV features Alexa, Bixby and Google Assistant. Reduced by a massive £600, its processor automatically upscales content to 4K quality, and there’s also an anti-glare screen.We reviewed a similar QLED model in our best 4K TVs guide. It’s a technology “pioneered by Samsung” that features an LCD screen with LED backlight with a layer of minuscule “quantum dots” that “act like a filter to deliver more heavily saturated colours that are more precisely defined”.
Samsung series 5+ auto dose WW90T534DAW/S1, wifi-enabled, 9kg, 1400 spin washing machine: Was £569.99, now £449, Currys.co.uk
With a large 9kg capacity, this washing machine deal is certainly likely to fit the bill for your household. It features clever eco technology, which not only helps the environment but saves on your bills too – it mixes air, water and detergent to enable the machine to wash your clothes at a lower temperature. Another smart feature is its smart wash, with a setting that will clean 2kg of clothes in just 15 minutes.
Apple MacBook air, M1, 2020, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage: Was £949, now £889, Currys.co.uk
If you don’t think you’ll need the sheer horsepower of a MacBook air with 16GB RAM, then Currys is also selling the 8GB model with a £60 discount. Of course, it uses Apple’s new blazing-fast M1 chip, so you won’t be missing out. “It’s so strong that many who have previously sought out the pricier MacBook pro will find this more than powerful enough for their needs,” said our writer in their round-up of the best high-end laptops. “The extra power has not diminished the air’s great battery life, however, as this model has six more hours of usability than the previous model.”
Fitbit versa 2 with Amazon Alexa: Was £159, now £99, Currys.co.uk
A cult favourite among gym-goers, runners, and cyclists, Fitbit is a go-to brand for fitness trackers, and Currys is currently offering a saving of £60 on the versa 2 device. When our writer reviewed the wearable for our round-up of the best fitness trackers, they praised it as a great alternative to the Apple Watch if you don’t have an iPhone. “It works similarly to the Fitbit charge 3, including a similar range of workouts, but has a large, colour screen,” they said, adding that the “sleep tracking is more detailed, recognising REM sleep as well as light and deep.”
Nespresso by Magimix vertuo plus M600 coffee machine: Was £179, now £59, Currys.co.uk
With so many options for pod coffee machines on the market, and some costing upwards of £400, it can be hard to know which one to choose. But we here at IndyBest are big fans of Nespresso, especially this vertuo plus model, which currently has more than £120 off. In our review of the appliance, our tester said it “fires on all cylinders”, adding that the coffee it made was “perfect every time”.
Shark anti hair wrap flexology IZ201UK cordless vacuum cleaner, orange: Was £349, now £179.99, Currys.co.uk
Tired of annoying wires cramping your style? A cordless vacuum is the way to go. Now just £179.99, this model survives for a whole 40 minutes on a full charge, and prevents dust and allergens from being released into the air while you clean – a real plus for allergy sufferers. Here at IndyBest, Shark vacuums are already a firm favourite, with one of its cordless offerings landing top spot in our cordless vacuum cleaners edit. Our tester was particularly impressed by the similar model’s anti-hair wrap function, adding that the vacuum emptied and charged easily too – dubbing it a “well-priced machine with some brilliant features.”
Oppo find X3 pro 5G: Was £1,099, now £999.99, Currys.co.uk
The Oppo find X3 pro is one of the best smartphones of 2021, manufactured by a company who has flown under the radar for far too long. “Released in March, the find X3 pro is a beast of a smartphone. It’s hard to find fault with it,” our writer said in their review of the best 5G phones. It already looks sleek on the front, “but once you turn it over, it’s positively stunning,” they said. “You get an almost cyberpunk-esque mirrored finish, with an elevated glass panel back that curves up to meet the camera module,” which houses a 50MP wide, 13MP telephoto, 50MP ultrawide and 3MP micro lens. This Black Friday, you can get the powerful 5G phone for just £999.99.

JBL xtreme 2 portable Bluetooth speaker: Was £249, now £149, Currys.co.uk
JBL is well-known for its range of high-performing mid-level speakers and the xtreme 2 is no exception. With up to 15 hours of battery life on a single charge, Bluetooth connectivity and a IPX7 waterproof rating, it’s no wonder that Maya Jama picked it as one of her gamechangers. “It’s got to be my JBL xtreme 2 portable speaker. I can’t live without music in the house – I have it on in the background throughout the day,” she told IndyBest. While we haven’t tested this model, JBL’s charge 4 featured in our round-up of the best Bluetooth speakers, with our reviewer calling it “robust yet sophisticated”.

There’s an eye-catching £350 off Microsoft’s gorgeous two-in-one surface book 3 at Currys. This is the brand’s flagship laptop, a high-performance and impressive-looking machine with a beautiful, minimalist design to give Apple a run for its money. We featured it in our round-up of the best laptops of 2021, where our reviewer was bowled over. “The surface book 3 has performance to back up its looks,” they said. “The keyboard is comfortable to work on and the 3:2 ratio screen is a natural fit for web browsing and document editing. At the touch of a button, the screen comes away and can be used as a fully mobile Windows tablet.”

What is Cyber Monday?
The Monday after the Black Friday weekend is called Cyber Monday – named as such because it was traditionally when online purchases would peak ahead of the Christmas period. Now it’s a sales event in its own right, and this year it takes place on 29 November.
Retailers often continue to slash their prices on this day with new stock, so if you missed out on any deals across the Black Friday weekend, you may be able to find a newer, better deal on Monday.
It’s also your last opportunity to shop the sales before 25 December, so it’s the ideal time to tick off your Christmas shopping list.
