Looking to do some retail therapy this weekend? Shop early Black Friday discounts on everything from vacuums and home appliances to fitness equipment and smart home devices on Nov. 4.

Thanks to retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon dropping Black Friday deals over a month early, we’ve already seen plenty of gadgets and gizmos at all-time low prices. In some circumstances, there’s no need to wait until the official Cyber Weekend to score big savings — like with this Roomba i1+ or KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus, which are already marked at their BF prices.

Meanwhile, Amazon is simultaneously running a sale on Alexa-enabled Amazon devices for the iconic virtual assistant’s eighth birthday. You can score a Fire TV, Echo Show, Blink Video Doorbell, and other smart home gadgets for remarkably low prices through Nov. 6.

Without further ado, here are the best deals of the day for Nov. 4, featuring plenty of early Black Friday price drops.

Why we like it

The iRobot Roomba i1+ is already sitting at its official Black Friday pricing at Walmart, so there’s no reason to wait. Usually $529.99, it’s down to just $288 as of Nov. 4 — that’s a savings of 46% and makes it the cheapest self-emptying Roomba you can find. According to Mashable’s resident robot vacuum expert Leah Stodart, the i1+ is basically the same as the i3+, only it’s a Walmart-exclusive. In comparison, the i3+ is sitting at $444 at Amazon. The i1+ features DirtDetect technology that can focus on particularly dirty areas, a Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal system that allows it to empty itself for 60 days, and dual multi-surface rubber brushes that flex to adjust to the floor type. It may not have built-in smart home mapping or zone cleaning, but it’s still a powerful floor-cleaning robot.

Why we like it

In a strange turn of events, the best Amazon device deal is at Best Buy. The 75-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV is currently sitting at an all-time low $599.99. Not only is that $450 less than its price at Amazon, but it’s also $120 less than its 65-inch counterpart at both retailers. We would’ve thought it was a fluke, but the deal has been live for a couple days now, proving the Black Friday deals at Best Buy are truly hard to beat. Enjoy 75 inches of brilliant 4K Ultra HD entertainment hands-free with the Omni Series Fire TV.

Our pick: FitRx SmartBell Quick Select Adjustable Dumbbell

$99 at Walmart (save $100)

Why we like it

It may not be as well known as the Bowflex SelectTech brand, but the FitRx SmartBell gives you a similar setup for significantly less. Both give you the option to select weights between 5 and 52.5 pounds, so you can incrementally increase or decrease your weight training without needing a full rack of dumbbells. At just $99 (regularly $199), the FitRx Smartbell is already at its Black Friday price — that’s 50% in savings. If you’re set on the SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells, they’re also on sale, but will run you $175 a piece.
