Best Ongoing Black Friday Deals at Walmart

Situated right below Samsung’s pricier flagship QD-OLED TV for 2024, the Samsung QN65S90D is a smart all-around buy, with commendable picture quality and HDR performance. It has a lot of features, including an ATSC 3.0 tuner for receiving "Next-Gen TV" off-air signals where available. The price has increased $50 at Walmart to what other retailers listed it for on Black Friday, but it’s no longer on sale at all anywhere else.

Unlike some other Onn TVs we’ve tested, which have done fairly well for overall picture quality, the 65-inch Onn 100012587 from Walmart’s private label brand does only okay in our tests and worse than that for HDR. Still, this is a very low price for a 4K set this size and might be an option for less finicky viewers on a tight budget. It’s a Roku TV, so it has access to a lot of streaming services. It matches the price we saw last year on Cyber Monday.

This 55-inch Roku was $100 less for Black Friday, so it’s not the best discount anymore but still a great price for the set. We didn’t test it, but we did test the 65-inch version and it does very well for both overall picture quality and HDR. Roku’s top-of-the-line Pro-series TVs use Mini LEDs in the backlights, which can help improve overall brightness, as well as contrast and black levels.

The Keurig K-Mini Plus is a great little Keurig brewer that’s ideal for small kitchens with limited counter space. In our tests, it receives strong scores for temperature and size consistency between cups, as well as how easy it is to use and clean. It features a removable reservoir, a height-adjustable drip tray, and auto-shutoff. It’s $6 more than it was for the holiday weekend.

If you’re looking for a pod coffee maker that’s versatile but not too fussy, the Keurig K-Elite is a strong option. It brews five cup sizes (and features a height-adjustable drip tray), has an iced-coffee setting, a strong-brew button, and a hot-water button. In our tests, its first cup took a little while to brew, but subsequent cups go faster. It’s also pretty intuitive to operate and clean. Its large water reservoir means you can brew up to 8 cups before you need to refill it.

If you’re looking for a no-frills rice cooker that works well and isn’t too pricey, this model from Hamilton Beach could be a great option. It got above-average marks in CR’s tests for cooking both 1 and 3 cups of rice, as well as for use of controls and convenience. It has a 4-cup capacity for dry rice, and there are programmed settings for cooking food. You’ll also get a steamer basket, measuring cup, and rice paddle.

You might think of the Pixel Buds Pro as Google’s answer to Apple’s AirPods Pro. These noise-canceling in-ear headphones are designed to work best with the company’s Pixel phones and smartwatches and Google Assistant, although you can certainly use them with any phone. Our testers report that Pixel Buds sound a bit bassy but are otherwise satisfying. Still at its Black Friday price at Walmart, the Pixel Buds Pro are worth looking into.

There’s a lot to like about this over-the-ear noise canceling headphone that sits second in Bose’s lineup but performs a lot like the top-of-the line Ultras. Since Bose devices don’t routinely carry big discounts, the $200 price–at a discount of $150–makes this deal particularly appealing. The Quiet Comforts provide sound quality that’s solid if not quite up to the very best headphones in this category.

These Sony earbuds may be a bit expensive, but their stellar sound quality makes them more than worth it if you care about music. And Walmart’s price matches the best we’ve seen. They’re sleek successors to the company’s stellar WF-1000XM4s, and they deliver so much musical detail that you’ll hear your favorite songs in a different way. The noise-canceling performance of the XM5s is top-notch as well, and they have a very effective ambient mode that pipes in outside noise for safety or convenience.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 may have been replaced by the newer and sleeker XM5, but our testers report that the models perform similarly. The Sony XM4 is close to the top of our ratings in sound quality, and its noise cancellation gets top marks. At this sale price, the XM4 delivers solid sound quality, a nice array of features, and very decent value.

This wireless Bluetooth model from JBL delivers very good sound quality. These headphones have a closed design, they will both muffle some external noise and limit the amount of sound that escapes from the headphones while they are being worn. They are best for those who want some isolation from outside noises, or don’t want the sound from the headphones to disturb others, and who are comfortable with the size of a home/studio style model.

This wireless Bluetooth iPod/iPad/cellphone-centric model from JBL is a solid pick. The JBL Tune 660NC delivers very good sound quality and excellent active noise reduction. These headphones have a closed design, they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and also reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the headphones.

The Shark HydroVac Pro XL Cordless Mop scored very good in all of our cleaning tests, though our evaluators pointed out it’s not the easiest to clean after you use it. Its battery life is on the shorter side, with an average of 22 minutes, but it’s fairly lightweight, at just 9 pounds. It usually sells for around $360, so you’re saving a good amount. However, it was as low as $228 at Amazon for Black Friday so don’t think you’re getting the best deal ever if you decide to buy.

The iRobot Roomba i4+ Evo is one of our top-scoring iRobot models and costs a bit less than some of its siblings, though it was $50 less for Prime Day. It gets high (but not top) marks from our members for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction. It scored very well on all our cleaning tasks and excelled at cleaning bare floors. This robovac uses smart mapping technology to move in a gridlike pattern. Once the vacuum is docked, the debris is automatically sucked into a disposable bag in the base. Replacing the bags, however, is an added expense.

Data security was commendable, but in the analysis by our digital labs, digital privacy was only so-so. That’s a trade-off that you may not want to make for the convenience of a mostly hands-off vacuum.

The Shark Rocket HV322 corded vacuum excels in pet hair pickup but is only so-so at cleaning carpet. It converts to a hand vacuum and comes with a bare-floor tool and a motorized small-brush accessory. This model can be stored compactly, and the dirt chamber can be emptied in just one step. Plus, surveyed owners gave the brand high marks for reliability and satisfaction.

Not all handheld vacuums can tackle pet hair with aplomb, but the Shark Ion aces that task. It’s also a champ at cleaning bare floors and getting into hard-to-reach places, and it’s not too shabby at cleaning carpets. The vacuum and all its attachments can be stored on the charging base, making it a real space-saver. And at just 1.4 pounds, it’s the lightest hand vac in our tests. The only downside to its small size is the small dust bin, which may have to be emptied more than once if you have a sizable spill.

The brand new Apple Watch Series 10—reviewed here for CR members—comes with a bigger, brighter display and faster charging capabilities, which might make tracking your sleep easier. The model is also equipped, for the first time, with FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection. It was only $20 more on Black Friday, so this is still an impressive discount.

The generation-old Garmin Fenix 7 is a top-of-the-line sports watch intended for those who are tackling more intense training programs or want more advanced navigation tools, like the ability to create turn-by-turn hiking courses. It also has an impressive 18-day claimed battery life.

This rugged-looking (and high-performing) Samsung smartwatch is aimed at outdoors enthusiasts—and anyone who wants the latest premium health- and fitness-tracking features. Just note that Galaxy Watches only work with Android devices.

Anyone looking to save some space—or cut down on items to plug into their TV—should consider the Roku Streambar SE, a soundbar that includes a built-in Roku streaming player. Given its small footprint, it probably works best for smaller TVs, not that jumbo-sized set you’ve been eyeing.

We expect this price to remain steady through the holiday season. Situated right below the Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ model, the Streaming Stick 4K has most of the same features—including improved WiFi, support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR, and the ability to work with Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and Google Assistant voice assistant—but not the new rechargeable Voice Remote Pro remote control. It’s $5 more than it was for Black Friday.

The Roku Express 4K+ is a small set-top box that offers 4K picture quality, plus support for both HDR10 and HDR10+ high dynamic range formats, though not Dolby Vision, which is found in some pricier models. The included WiFi voice remote control has TV controls that let you turn on the TV, adjust the set’s volume, and use Roku Voice to launch channels, search for content, and control streaming services. The price has increased $5.

The Roku Ultra LT is a slightly de-featured version of the regular Roku Ultra streamer, and it’s only sold at Walmart. The main differences are that this version lacks a USB port, and the remote doesn’t have a headphone jack for private listening. The price has dropped $5 since Cyber Monday.

The car seat in this Chicco travel system, designed for a maximum weight of 30 pounds, scored extremely well in our tests for ease of use and its fit-to-vehicle belt and latch. It has a great balance of crash protection and maneuverability. As for the stroller, our testers found it very easy to fold up, which can be done with one hand. But they found the handle shape a little uncomfortable, and the front wheels don’t lock. The stroller has a good-sized basket for such a lightweight model and there’s a seatback storage pocket, and the fabric seat cover is removable so it can be hand-washed.

If you’re looking for an affordable firm mattress, the Serta Sheer Slumber mattress fits the bill. It lands a 9 out of 10 on our firmness scale, and with a (full) price under $500, it’s one of the more affordable foam mattresses in our ratings. Overall, this mattress-in-a-box offers impressive support for most sleepers with the exception of large side sleepers, who can expect only average support. Serta foam mattresses receive so-so scores for comfort and predicted reliability, according to CR’s member surveys.

While the Jisulife Portable Neck Fan has basic features, it’s quiet and cool-looking. The product itself feels substantial and solid, as if made from quality plastic, but isn’t so heavy as to feel uncomfortable resting on the collar bones. Its cooling abilities, however, are more moderate than those of the dorkier Torras Coolify.

This GHD Platinum+ barrel flat iron has a styling temperature of 360° F and takes about 21 seconds to heat up. The swivel cord and pivoting plates make the straightener easy to handle, and it comes with a silicone holder for storage.
