If you’re looking for a bargain on tech, beauty, fashion, mattresses or kitchen appliances, it’s no secret that Black Friday (which lands in November) is one of the best times to shop.
The four-day-long event see deals on countless brands, and this year will be no different – we’re hoping the likes of Dyson, Ninja and more will all be taking part. Where retailers are concerned, we’re expecting the likes of John Lewis, Argos, Coggles and others to get involved, and will be keeping our eyes peeled for early deals as the event edges closer.
If there’s one brand we’re really anticipating, however, it’s Shark. Host to a number of top-of-the-range vacuum cleaners, steam mops and innovative hair tools, a handful of which also come tried, tested and approved by the IndyBest team, Shark is certainly one to watch out for come Black Friday.
From the flexstyle styler (hailed as a cheaper alternative to Dysons’s airwrap) to home appliances such as fans and air purifiers, Black Friday could save shoppers hundreds of pounds on Shark gadgets. While the event is a little way off yet, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the official sale kick-off, including dates and the deals to shop now.
When will Shark Black Friday deals start in 2024?
While some annual sale events can be quite unpredictable (Amazon Prime Day, we’re looking at you), Black Friday will always fall on the Friday following Thanksgiving in the US. In 2024, Black Friday will begin on Friday 29 November and last for four days before culminating on Cyber Monday (2 December).

That being said, some brands and retailers just can’t wait until the official Black Friday kick off, and start dropping deals in the weeks beforehand. In 2023, Shark kicked off its month-long Black Friday sale on 1 November, while retailers such as Amazon, Currys and John Lewis started launching deals as early as October.
What to expect from Shark deals this Black Friday 2024
While no intel has been shared on what to expect from this year’s Dyson deals, we can speculate by taking a look at the discounts that were on offer last year. In 2023, Amazon reduced our favourite cordless vacuum cleaner, the stratos anti-hair-wrap plus pet pro (was £499.99, now £405, Amazon.co.uk), by more than £200.

It can be used in 12 different ways, from corded to cordless, and can even used outdoors.”
