In previous years, Amazon has been the undisputed home of some of the best Black Friday deals. You could feel confident that searching "Amazon Black Friday deals" would turn up all
the best deals available, no need to look at Best Buy or Walmart or Target—the in-store mobs would have already picked those places through. This year, however, was a little different. The big box stores launched early Black Friday sales almost a month in advance. Not all of those sales were anything special, but enough were to make it clear that Amazon is no longer the reigning champ of fabricated deal holidays. This is not to say Amazon did not come to play. Now that the retailer's Black Friday sale has launched, it might be fair to say that Amazon was just playing its cards close to the chest. Even if not all the sales are that great, the amount of sales is pretty mind boggling. Most of the best deals are on tech and kitchen goods, like noise-cancelling headphones and electric pressure cookers. But there are plenty of options for people looking for menswear and home goods. Here are the best Amazon Black Friday deals we've found so far, including a cozy hoodie, a solution for your Wi-Fi troubles, and one of our favorite robot vacuums.
