This Samsung Vacuum Is Better Than a Dyson, and It’s $300 Off for Black Friday

There isn’t a week that goes by without a big box arriving on my doorstep with another stick or robot vacuum to test, but after a year, I’m still using the Samsung Bespoke stick vacuum. During Black Friday, it’s 28% off, bringing its price down to $499.99 (originally $799.99).

My home is a fantastic testing ground for these machines, with every kind of surface possible, tons of obstacles, and a dog who somehow carries pounds of dirt and dust into the house every day. The Samsung Bespoke Jet Vacuum, a stick vacuum I didn’t expect to think much of, is the vacuum I use every day.

The vacuum comes with a stand that turns it into a modern sculpture, so there’s no hiding it away. But that’s OK, because that base is also a self-emptying dock. It turns out that once you have a self-emptying dock for your vacuum, you will realize how insulting it is that we’ve been touching all that debris and dust when we manually empty our vacuums.

The stick extends long enough to be comfortable at almost any height, whether you’re 5 or 6 feet tall. It comes with a crevice tool and a soft tool, which is my favorite. It’s perfect for your laptop keyboard, books, sculptures and anything else you don’t want to damage.

The rollers on the main brush don’t get clogged easily and I can’t remember having to take the vacuum apart, ever. It sucks up dog toy floof, dust, and everything else in the way. It gets my rugs clean (like really clean) from dirty, dusty pawprints, and it gets into the corners on tile as well as hardwoods.

As much as I like my Dyson, the Samsung is half the weight. That makes a difference on a daily basis. Also, my Dyson hates microdust—it’s the one thing that clogs the Dyson. My Samsung has no problem with it. The choice is clear for me.

The Apple Pencil Pro and 9th Gen iPad are up to 39% off

I covered the Apple Pencil Pro last month when it dropped to a record-low price on Amazon before quickly selling out. You still can’t find one on Amazon, but Target is selling them for $99 (originally $129). You can use the Pencil Pro with the 64GB wifi-only ninth-generation iPad, currently going for $199 (originally $329), matching the lowest price it first hit in August. This iPad was considered the best iPad for most people by PCMag and received its Editors’ Choice award in an “excellent” review. While it’s three years old, it’s not yet on the list of Apple products no longer getting software updates, so you’ll likely still get a few more years of support.

The Garmin Instinct 2 is $100 off

The Garmin Instinct 2 is an outdoor smartwatch with a design and features geared towards people with active lifestyles. It has a strong battery life of up to 65 days in the battery saver mode and 28 days in the regular mode (using features like GPS and SpO2 monitoring will drain the battery faster). You can get the Instinct 2 for $199.99 (originally $299.99).

Beats and Bose headphones up to 47% off

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds clip on your ear and shoot sound into your ear, leaving your ears open to outside noise. You can get them for $249 (originally $299). If you’re looking for the opposite approach, Beats Studio Buds are noise-canceling earbuds that go in your ear and are $79.99 (originally $149.99).

This Samsung soundbar with a built-in woofer is 40% off

The Samsung HW-S50B is a budget-friendly “all-in-one” (to the extent it can be) soundbar with a built-in woofer. These kinds of soundbars are great for setups where a woofer won’t fit or for people who just don’t want the clutter. It has Bluetooth Multi Connection, so you can connect two smart devices at the same time and switch between them, and if you have a Samsung phone, you can use the tap feature to play your media directly to it. Get it for $149.99 (originally $249.99).

The 55-inch TCL S551G Google TV is $110 off

The TCL S551G is an LED Smart Google TV with 4K resolution, UHD, and HDR currently going for $239.99 (originally $349.99). This is TCL’s new entry-level 4K TV of 2024.
