Amazon has put dates on the season. Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday run 12 straight days this year, November 19 through November 30, with millions of deals and new themed drops every day across toys, tech, fashion, beauty, and gifts. On Black Friday and Cyber Monday the drops land twice, at midnight and again at 8 a.m. PT, with savings up to 60% off.

You don’t have to wait for the 19th, though. The early deals started ahead of it, and the strongest of them don’t need the calendar’s permission. These are the ten best we’ve covered this season, picked across the house, the garage, and your wrist, and every price below got checked again today.

1. eufy Omni C28

The eufy Omni C28 vacuums, mops, and then washes its own mop back at the station. The HydroJet roller cleans with fresh water as it goes, so it isn’t dragging dirty water across the floor, and 15,000 Pa of suction pulls pet hair out of carpet.

It’s $459.99 at Amazon, down from $799.99. You save $340, 43% off, the single deepest cut in this roundup.

The station handles the dirty work after every run, with the mop scrubbing included, which is the part of robovac ownership nobody misses doing by hand.

2. Breville Barista Express

The Barista Express is the home espresso machine we keep coming back to. You dose into a proper 54mm portafilter, pull the shot, and texture milk on a manual steam wand, the full café routine on a countertop footprint.

Amazon’s price is $499.95 against a $699.95 list. That’s $200 saved, 29% off.

Everything happens on the machine, no pods and no app, which is why it keeps its spot in our kitchen coverage year after year.

3. EcoFlow DELTA Pro

A DELTA Pro is home backup power that still moves on wheels and handles. It carries 3,600Wh and puts out 3,600W, enough for a fridge, lights, and power tools through a long outage, and extra batteries chain on for longer runs.

It’s $1,799 at Amazon, $800 under the $2,599 list. 31% off, on a unit that rarely plays the discount game.

For a house that loses power a few times a winter, this is the box that ends the extension-cord shuffle for good.

4. GoPro MAX2

The MAX2 shoots 8K video in every direction at once and lets you choose the framing in the edit, after the run, not during it. It takes 29MP 360 photos, smooths the shake out with HyperSmooth, and its lenses swap at home when one gets scuffed.

Amazon has it at $299.99, down from $499.99. You save $200, 40% off GoPro’s flagship 360 camera.

Six microphones feed the 360 audio, so the sound pans with the picture when you reframe.

5. Apple Watch Ultra 3

The Ultra 3 is Apple’s 49mm titanium watch, the one with Emergency SOS over satellite and a depth gauge that reads water temperature on a dive. It’s built for runners, hikers, and open-water swimmers who leave the phone behind.

With the Ocean Band, it’s $649 at Amazon. That’s $150 off the $799 list, 19%.

It also runs well past a full day between charges, where the aluminum watches in the same sale need a nightly top-up.

6. ASUS Vivobook 17

Big-screen laptops usually cost big money or cut everything else to hit a price. The Vivobook 17 keeps the 17.3-inch display and pairs it with a Core 3 100U, 8GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD, a sane spec for family and student work.

It’s $449.99 at Amazon against a $599.99 list, so $150 off, 25%.

The ports are all on the side of the machine, USB, USB-C, HDMI, and audio, so the dongle drawer stays shut.

7. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

The Fold 8 is two devices on one hinge, a phone on the outside and a small tablet when it opens. The 256GB Graphite model carries the discount here, and it’s still the priciest thing on this list.

Amazon’s price is $1,649.99, down from $1,899.99. You save $250, 13% off, a real cut on a phone this new.

Open it on a plane tray table and the big screen earns its keep fast, charts, a document, and a film sharing the fold.

8. Craftsman 262-Piece Mechanics Tool Set

This 262-piece set is the garage buy of the season. Inside the 3-drawer VERSASTACK box sit 118 sockets, 24 wrenches, and three 90-tooth ratchets that swing in a tight 5-degree arc, and Craftsman backs the whole set with a full lifetime warranty.

It’s $149 at Amazon, $100 under the $249 list. 40% off, and it covers nearly every bolt a home garage will ever meet.

Sockets run SAE and metric, so the same box covers the car, the bike, and the mower.

9. Ember Mug 3

The Ember Mug 3 holds 14 ounces of coffee at the exact temperature you set, and this generation finally goes in the dishwasher when you’re done. No more hand-washing the smart mug like it’s fine china.

It’s $99.99 at Amazon, down from $149.95. You save $49.96, 33% off, and your coffee stops going cold mid-morning.

The coaster recharges it between cups, and the LEDs at the base show the setting at a glance.

10. Skechers Arch Fit Glide-Step Pro

The Glide-Step Pro is a hands-free slip-in for men who stand all day. Arch Fit support carries the foot, and the Glide-Step sole rolls each stride forward instead of letting the heel slap down.

Amazon’s price is $82.50 against a $110 list, so $27.50 off, 25%. Work shoes, stock-up money.

The Glide-Step geometry is Skechers’ answer to long shifts, curved at the heel and toe so the roll does the work, mile after mile, all shift long.
