When the Beats Solo Pro headphones hit the market, it was a real watershed moment for a manufacturer that previously favored style over substance. Rated highly on TechRadar, its review said: "Apple has also addressed user concerns regarding Beats' sound profile and build quality, and significantly improved and upgraded both aspects for the Solo Pro." At $99, they're now down to their lowest ever price.
This is an unexpected bonus from Walmart, dropping the Microsoft Series S to its lowest price since the console's release in the fall of last year. The next-generation machine from Microsoft has been notoriously difficult to get, so we expect availability to be patchy. But if you're fast enough, you'll have your new Xbox in time for the holidays. This is the 512GB version.

If you prefer your gaming a little bit less serious and with a little more Mario, then this Nintendo Switch offer is just as eye-catching. As well as the console itself and a Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con controller, this bundle also includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — a game that GamesRadar gave five stars and called a "revelation" and "the definitive version of the most complete Mario Kart to date."
Automated vacuum cleaners are getting more and more affordable, with manufacturer iRobot leading the way when it comes to product innovation and range of choice. The Roomba i1 is one of the brand's more advanced machines, but now has a $200+ discount for Black Friday 2021 at Walmart. It can be voice controlled, is designed to be effective on pet hair, and — perhaps the most exciting feature — it is self-emptying, meaning one less messy job for you.

If you've been to the homes of friends and family and marveled over their smart home gizmos, it doesn't cost much to join them. You can now get the second iteration of Google's Nest smart home hub for less than $50, which you can use to control your all of your connected lighting, heating, doorbell, and other smart devices. It also functions as a media player, bedside alarm clock, and telephone for voice and video calls.
Every time a new iPhone is released, it means that the ones from before get reduced in price ... and that's exactly what happened after the iPhone 13 was launched in October. Walmart's $200 discount means that the iPhone 12 Mini is now one of the most affordable Apple smartphones you can buy. It's 5G-ready, features a gorgeous 5.4-inch OLED display, and its main and selfie cameras are a real improvement on past versions.
Instant Pots were one of the best selling items of all during last year's Black Friday sales, and this is about as cheap as they come. This model is extremely versatile, coming with seven functions: slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, cake maker, egg cooker, and to sauté. Despite being big enough to cater for up to eight portions at a time, it's also discreet enough to be packed away from view without too much trouble.
The final discount on this list lets you add a little Hollywood glamour to your yard. With $100 off, this inflatable hot tub comfortably sits four people (or up to six at a squeeze). You can set the mood with its integrated color-changing lights, and it's easy to control the jets and heat with the simple interface.

The most eye-catching of all Walmat's Black Friday deals this year has to be this 70-inch TV from its store brand Onn. Getting a 70-inch ultra HD TV for less than $400 is practically unheard of, and this one features access to thousands of channels and apps thanks to the integration from streaming specialist Roku. Okay, so this model is never likely to feature in a list of the world's best TVs, but you can expect it to be plenty popular at this price.
The cheapest we've seen the 38mm Apple Watch Series 3 in the past is $200, so this discount is very attractive indeed. There may be newer and better versions of Apple's flagship now available, but the Series 3 still features GPS, swimproof casing, and all the biometrics you need for measuring and recording your sports performance.
