The 5 best Amazon deals you can get this Friday — save up to $50
TGIF, are we right? Has the week left you ready for some retail therapy? Our team has scoured Amazon to put together a quick-and-dirty list of the top sales for you. So what are today's best Amazon deals? Well, you can score $50 off a TikTok-famous vacuum. How 'bout an Amazon Fire TV Stick for 40% off? Or maybe you're looking for a top-selling pillow that just happens to be nearly 50% off. There's a lot to explore! Let's have a closer look at these stellar Amazon bargains, shall we?
Enjoy an impressive 80 minutes of runtime over three modes with this incredibly lightweight vacuum — it's just 5.5 pounds! The whole thing even converts into a handheld vacuum you can use to get into crevices in your car or sofa. The Tineco has made the rounds on TikTok, with fans swearing by its suctioning power.
"This machine is amazing. As a Dyson owner of several years, I can say the performance is equal or better," a five-star fan said. "If that is your only criteria, you will save $$ and be equally happy with the Tineco. However, if you find value in the user experience of the tool, you will be much happier with the Tineco A11 versus any other vac on the market. Many attachments, two pre-filters, a pre-filter cleaning tool, a brush to clean the tools, which includes a hook with a protected blade to cut hair off the brush rollers(!!!), detachable battery, an extra battery, a forearm-saving always-on switch for the trigger...I could go on."
This 72-ounce professional blender comes with “total crushing technology,” which promises to pulverize anything you put inside, whether it's ice, veggies, fruits or nuts. The blender includes three different speeds plus a pulse setting, ensuring that your ingredients combine into the exact texture you want.
One happy customer called this Ninja "smoothie magic," writing, "there are some products that just change your life. I wanted to get in on the smoothie thing, and there simply is no other way to do it than with a blender, and no better blender to do it with."
The Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best ways to instantly add video streaming to your TV without getting a new set — that means no more monthly cable bill — which is one the reasons this gadget has more than 134,000 five-star reviews.
"My husband and I finally got the courage to “cut the cord,” switching to 100% streaming apps, and canceled all cable services (except internet) since the cost for cable had steadily increased by nearly $100 per month over the past two years," a shocked shopper shared. "Unfortunately, one of our perfectly good smart TVs does not support our primary streaming app and a couple others that we use regularly, so we bought the Firestick to be able stream those apps as well. It works great! We are able to access all of the popular apps used for streaming our television programs without any problems at all. We are very pleased with our purchase."
Hoperay pillows come with extra filling, so you can customize the firmness. (It's like Build a Bear for adults!) But the comfort doesn't end with firm control. According to Amazon shoppers, it also stays cool, making it the perfect addition to your hot-weather bedding setup.
"I wasn't sleeping well and knew I needed a new pillow," a satisfied sleeper shared. "It's perfect. I'm sleeping like a baby and hardly toss and turn. It stays cool and supports where needed. I love it so much. I'm thinking about getting one for my husband."
Fall is nearly here and we can start cozying up in comfy loungewear, which, of course, means new leggings. These yoga pants land somewhere between leggings and joggers, which means they provide the level of comfort that can earn more than 65,000 five-star reviews.
“Okay, these may be my favorite leggings/yoga pants/just bottoms in general that I've EVER owned,” wrote a very excited shopper. “I can't even tell you how comfortable they are — it's like wearing a velvet cat on your legs?? A suede-y second skin? What it'd be like if true love was magically woven into a fabric? You get it, but yeah, they're that good. Fit snug at first but as you move around they loosen up reasonably. Quality is outstanding, color is rich... Can't recommend these enough!!!”
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
