Our favorite early Black Friday Walmart deals

• Roomba j7+ for $387 (save $52): ZDNET's robot vacuum reviewer called the Roomba j7+ a "life-changing robot vacuum" because of its impressive suction power, self-emptying capabilities, smart mapping technology, and more. Because of its advanced features, it typically costs a whopping $440, but you can take $52 off that today.
• Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch M1 Laptop for $649 (save $50): ZDNET first reviewed the M1 MacBook Air back in 2020, and then again in 2022, and both times concluded that the model is a solid option for users who want to keep the convenience of a lighter, portable model without sacrificing efficiency. Apple products rarely go on sale, so this is a deal worth checking out.  
• Apple Watch Series 9 45mm GPS + Cellular for $379 (save $150): Even though Apple released its Watch Series 10 last month, last year's Series 9 is still a very competitive model, packed with many of the latest and greatest features. The watch is $150 off in the Midnight Aluminum Case colorway, making it a great time to buy it. 
• Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum for $430 (save $220): If you are in the market for a more traditional vacuum instead of a robot vacuum, this is a great option as it is slim, cordless, and powerful. The best part is that you can save $100 now, and Dyson products don't go on sale often.
• Apple AirPods Max for $479 (save $70): The AirPods Max feature a sleek look and fun colors to choose from while offering instant connectivity, multi-device switching, Transparency Mode, Spatial Audio, and exceptional sound. Because the AirPods Max are over-the-ear headphones, unlike the AirPods Pro, you can completely avoid them falling out of your ear, and the lightweight feel guarantees comfort for hours.
• Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless Headphone for $260 (save $120): ZDNET's headphone reviewer Jada Jones deemed the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless Headphones as "audiophile approved" with "unrivaled sound quality, a marathon battery, and all-day comfort." Despite only being released six months ago, they are already on sale, which is a pretty good offer.
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for $298 (save $132): If you've been looking for a smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is a great candidate, with an AMOLED high-resolution display, a Samsung-unique rotating bezel, and classic, sleek look. 
• Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $179 (save $70): The earbuds landed a spot on ZDNET's best earbuds you can buy in 2024 roundup as the noise-canceling earbuds for Apple users, making them a gift sure to impress any Apple user. 
• Acer Nitro 31.5-inch Curved Gaming Monitor for $159 (save $70): Monitors can help upgrade any gaming or even work setup but usually cost a pretty penny. Despite boasting impressive features such as a curved, tiltable, anti-glare, 31.5-inch screen, you can buy the Acer Nitro Curved monitor today for under $200. 
• Walmart+ account for $49 (save $49): The Walmart+ membership comes with many perks, including free grocery delivery, free shipping with no order minimum, Paramount+ streaming, early access to deals and deal events, and more. This is especially beneficial if you frequently make purchases from Walmart.
