When is Black Friday?Β
Black Friday 2025 falls on November 28, and Cyber Monday (which only became a thing in 2005) follows on December 1. Beat the store chaos and do your shopping from the comfort of your home (or office!).
Are power stations really cheaper during Black Friday?Β
The short answer is yes, power stations can be significantly cheaper in the run up to and during Black Friday. Itβs a time of year when retails want to make up for the discounts they offer with volume of sales. Yes, price manipulation does happen sometimes, where some brands and retailers increase their prices in advance to make their cuts seem even better, but it happens a lot less these days because thereβs more competition and people are getting savvy to it.
How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?
ZDNET (and I) only writes about the deals we want to buy β devices and products we desire, need, or and would recommend wholeheartedly. Our experts look for the best deals, or products that are hardly ever on sale, using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.Β
I also look at customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals Iβm recommending. There are also recommendations that are based on my own testing and reviews. The goal is to get you the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter and save money.Β
