The 5 best Amazon Black Friday 2021 deals you can get today

1. Up to 44% off: These TCL media room essentials

Amazon is letting you save big on TCL TVs and soundbars today. For instance, you can get a 75-inch 5-Series 4K QLED Roku Smart TV at a 33% discount for $999. When we tested the 5-Series, we were impressed with its wide color range and decent overall contrast (especially for a TV in its price range), not to mention the built-in Roku technology from the makers of our favorite streaming device. Those looking to upgrade the sound of their TVs can get an Alto 8i Dolby Atmos soundbar for just $99.99. Normally listed for $179.99, this 39.4-inch device features built-in subwoofers and Bluetooth technology that lets you get richer sound from movies and music.

2. Save $212: One of our favorite Roombas

The iRobot Roomba i3+ is usually priced at $599.99 on its own but today, you can get the vacuum with authentic replacement parts included for $442.98 thanks to a 32% discount. That means you can get this powerful and hands-free appliance (already super affordable on its own) for less than what the i3+ (now $399.99) normally costs on its own and get three extra edge sweeping brushes, three extra filters and two multi-surface rubber brushes as well. This robot vacuum is our favorite affordable Roomba for its self-emptying feature that keeps dirt collected in the accompanying dirt tower. In our testing, we found the i3+ picked up an average of 11 grams of dirt per run, which is on par with our favorite robot vacuum, the iRobot Roomba i7+ ($749).

Amazon recently released upgraded versions of their popular Fire TV Sticks and you can get two of them for great discounts today. The Fire Stick 4K MAX is available for $34.99 (36% off its list price of $54.99) and the standard Fire TV Stick is on sale for $19.99 (50% off its list price of $39.99). Amazon claims the 4K MAX is 40% more powerful than the Fire Stick 4K, which we named one of the best streaming devices for its excellent remote and support of major streaming services like Disney+, Prime Video and more. The 4K MAX has that same remote and multi-service compatibility but promises faster app starts and smoother navigation through its interface. Though the standard Fire TV Stick doesn’t offer the same upgraded picture and sound quality when streaming, it still has the feature-loaded remote and promised faster streaming.
