Save £40 on this sleek, minimalist microwave. Inside, you’ll notice there’s no turntable. This is because it has a diamond cavity structure, designed to help your food cook more evenly from all angles, without the need to turn it. The absence of an internal plate means you should find it easier to fit in larger items, too. The manufacturer says it’s also easier to clean than other microwaves. If you wipe it clean after every use, there will be no need to scrub dried-on food off the sides.

Every year, Black Friday kicks off the day after US holiday Thanksgiving, which means, in 2023, the shopping bonanza started on Friday 24 November. Deals will continue to drop over the weekend, culminating in Cyber Monday – the final day of the sale – which will fall on Monday 27 November.

Despite the event officially taking place over a single weekend, Black Friday deals could be found as early as four weeks in advance. However, it is still worth keeping an eye out for bargains on 24 November, as some major retailers could reserve the very best discounts for Black Friday itself.

It’s also a good idea to follow your favourite brands on social media and sign up to newsletters, so you’ll be aware of any new offers or lightning deals.

Black Friday offers the chance to bag all kinds of deals, and last year was no exception, particularly across top microwave brands.

During last year’s sale, big-name brands such as Kenwood reduced appliances, with shoppers bagging themselves a bargain on the K20MS21 microwave (£79.99, Currys.co.uk). Currys was on a roll when it came to slashing prices, with the Panasonic NN-CT55JWBPQ microwave also being discounted (£219, Currys.co.uk).

Argos was another online retailer that participated in Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year, with discounts across all kinds of home appliances, including a Panasonic 800W microwave (£80, Argos.co.uk), while Lakeland reduced the Sage combi wave three-in-one microwave (£349.95, Lakeland.co.uk) by £50.

With just over a week to go until the sale officially starts, we can only predict which brands will be discounting appliances for Black Friday 2023.

If previous years are anything to go by, we can expect big brands such as Samsung, Swan, Smeg and Panasonic to slash the prices of their popular gadgets. As for retailers, keep a close eye on Currys, John Lewis, Argos, AO and Amazon.
