Apple AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation: Was £119, now £99, Johnlewis.com
Apple brought active noise cancellation to its non-Pro AirPods last year, making the latest AirPods 4 a stellar alternative to the AirPods Pro 2. Now, you can score a post-Black Friday discount at John Lewis. The buds run on the same H2 chip, support personalised spatial audio, have improved microphones and offer better battery life than the Pro model. The open-fit design is lighter and more comfortable, too. While the ANC isn’t as strong as the in-ear seal you get on the Pro 2, tech critic David Phelan still found that it cut out everyday noise surprisingly well, as he noted in his review of the AirPods 4.
Ninja air fryer, AF100UK: Was £99.99, now £78.99, Johnlewis.com
Since this affordable Ninja air fryer entered my kitchen, meal times have never been easier. Proving that air fryers don’t have to dominate your kitchen counter space, this design is sleek and space-saving. Better yet, it comes with a £20 discount at John Lewis. It also received rave reviews from IndyBest reviewer Lauren Cunningham, who found that despite “using up to 75 per cent less fat than traditional frying methods, you still get a good crunch. Its generous 3.8l basket can fit a medium-sized chicken and enables you to air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate”. What more could you want?
Dyson V8 advanced cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £229.99, now £189, Johnlewis.com
You can save more than £40 on this Dyson V8 vacuum. When home appliance tester Siobian Grogan reviewed the simular Dyson V8 absolute model, she noted that it’s a great budget option. If you’ve had a Dyson on your wishlist this year, now is the best time to invest in a model, as it’s currently at its lowest price ever at John Lewis.
