Best Early Amazon Black Friday Deals (2026)

For die-hard Amazon shoppers, the retail giant starts Black Friday deals on November 19. But you can already stock up on early deals now.

Best Early Amazon Black Friday Deals (2026)

Amazon's Early Black Friday deals present some great opportunities for tech and household purchases. The XM6 headphones are among the lowest-priced items, though their current price is not a record low. The AirTag and AirPods Max 2/Pro 3 are also discounted, with WIRED recommending waiting until after Thanksgiving for potential further drops.

The Fire HD 10 tablet is highlighted as a good Fire tablet option due to its budget-friendly pricing, with Amazon promising support for the tablets for another four years. Blink security cameras, while not on the shortlist, are worth considering for budget-conscious buyers. Amazon's own pan-tilt camera is currently 50% off, making its usual $40 price point more affordable.

The Soundcore brand, known for its audio products, offers a Bluetooth boombox at its lowest price on Amazon. For budget-friendly air purifiers, the Levoit model is WIRED's top recommendation, though it's not the absolute lowest price. Meanwhile, the Eufy robot vacuum is rated as the best budget pick, offering great suction power and a self-cleaning roller mop at a discounted $150.

Lastly, WIRED suggests considering a De'Longhi espresso machine for an affordable entry into the third-wave coffee scene, with prices as low as $120 seen in past sales.
