Amazon Black Friday sale confirmed — dates and 19 best deals to shop now
Amazon's deals start on November 17
The first wave of Amazon Black Friday deals will start on Friday, November 17. While it's normal to see Amazon's Black Friday deals release before the official Black Friday date (November 24), this year the e-comm giant is releasing its deals earlier than last year. The sale will include massive discounts sitewide with new deals releasing as fast as every five minutes during select periods.
Amazon traditionally doesn't release exact pricing, but instead it says that it'll offer up to 70% off Alexa hardware, including bundles with free smart bulbs and Echo Show 5 displays. (Note: Some of these bundles can be purchased now). Black Friday is the best time of year to purchase new Amazon hardware and I'm expecting to see record price lows on Fire TVs, Echo devices, smart cameras and more.
I've been covering Amazon Black Friday sales for over a decade now. Below I'm rounding up the best confirmed deals along with some early deals you can shop now. Plus, make sure to check out our Amazon promo codes page for more ways to save this holiday season.

Amazon Black Friday deals — Nov. 17 sales

Anker PowerCore Slim 10000: was $21 now $15 @ Amazon
The Anker PowerCore Slim 10000 is one of the best portable chargers you can buy. It's able to charge up your smartphone multiple times and the 10,000 mAh battery comes housed in a rugged casing. The lack of USB-C output is a disappointment, but it's otherwise a travel essential.
Blink Mini Camera (3-Pack): was $100 now $39 @ Amazon
If you need to cover multiple rooms on a budget you can grab three Blink Minis for just $39 — $60 off the original price (just a single Blink Mini costs $35). These affordable cameras still pack a crisp 1080p resolution which makes out people and objects in motion. Notifications hit your devices within seconds and the cameras' infrared night vision mode makes it easy to see what's happening even in pitch-black rooms like a basement. Keep in mind that if you're away often and want to save recordings, you'll need to pay a subscription fee. However, they make great monitors for motion notifications and dropping into live feeds to check up on kids, pets and even doorway activity.
Luna Adult Weighted Blanket: was $109 now $56 @ Amazon
The Luna Adult Weighted Blanket is on sale at Amazon. Its hypoallergenic construction, breathable cover and medical-grade glass bead filling for even weight distribution are just some of the reasons we voted it one of the best weighted blankets.

Asics Gel-Nimbus 24 running shoes: was $160 now $99 @ Amazon

At the back, you'll find one gigabit Ethernet port as well as an auto-sensing 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port for multi-gig internet. In our eero Pro 6E review, we praised its quick setup process and the built in Zigbee and Bluetooth radios for controlling your smart home devices.
