The first several hours of Black Friday are behind us. And while our writers and editors are still hard at work looking for the best deals, we’ve already gotten a clear sense of what readers are most interested in. Among the many Wirecutter-approved things that we think are worthy buys this Black Friday, a select few have risen to the top. These are the 20 most popular deals so far.

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips Kit Deal price: $28; street price: $45 Read our review of the best at-home teeth whitening kits and strips.

Looking to get a brighter smile without having to step into a dentist’s office? Many dentists we spoke to actually recommend Crest Whitestrips, which use hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth at home. It’s not a quick process—you’ll have to wear the plastic strips for half an hour a day for a few weeks—but they do produce noticeable results. And right now, they’re 42% off, compelling enough readers to snag them and make the Whitestrips our most popular deal. This particular kit comes with 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments.

Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 MG7750 Beard Trimmer Deal price: $35; street price: $55 Read our review of the best beard trimmer.

The Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 is now down to $35 with store pickup—matching the lowest price we’ve seen. Having a beard doesn’t mean you don’t want to keep it maintained (or even meticulously groomed). In tests, the Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 was our top beard trimmer : Its motor makes quick work of thick hair, the device feels great in the hand, and it’s a space saver that stands upright wherever you put it. Packaged with 14 guide combs, trimmer heads in three widths, a small foil shaver head, and a nose-hair trimmer, it also has a long-lasting battery that ran for five hours on one charge in our tests. Right now, you can save $20 on it.

Catan Board Game Deal price: $22; street price: $43 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

You’ve finished your Thanksgiving dinner. You’ve stored the leftovers. You’ve run out of life updates for your family. Now what? Well, if you had Catan, those in-between holiday hours could be pretty fun. At its most basic, Catan is a civilization-building game in which players collect resources to create settlements, cities, and roads to earn points. In practice, it’s a game that tests your strategic wits, patience (game play can stretch for many hours and even days), and friendships. Our next-level strategy game pick from our guide to the best beginner board games for adults is down to just a buck shy of the lowest price we’ve seen at $22. Also available from Walmart and Target with store pickup.

Coleman Oversized Quad Chair With Cooler (Black) Deal price: $21; street price: $33 Read our review of the best camping chairs.

Camping chairs can be notoriously unstable and uncomfortable, but the Coleman camp chair we’ve made our top pick is exactly what you want to be sitting in whether you’re camping, tailgating, or just having a backyard hang. It’s large and comfortable, and it’s the only camping chair we tested with a built-in cooler bag, which holds four standard-size beer cans. One of our testers said, “This is the Platonic ideal of your camp chair. It really just feels so stable. It has your cooler, your cup holder. It’s not too fancy, just very comfortable to sit in.” Ordinarily $33, it’s now just $21.

Roku Streaming Stick 4K Deal price: $30; street price: $50 Read our review of the best media streaming devices.

This is the streaming age, but not every streaming device is created equal. We especially like the Roku Streaming Stick 4K (so much that we made it our runner-up pick). Compared with other streamers, it has the widest selection of services, and it supports all the major 4K HDR standards. The Roku stick design plugs directly into your TV’s HDMI input and draws power via your TV’s USB port. The only major caveat is that Roku is currently in a dispute with Google, which has resulted in the removal of the YouTube TV app for a long time and may cause the removal of the regular YouTube app soon. But if you’re not going to be using this media streamer for YouTube content, this is an excellent model to pick up.

Levoit Classic 300S Humidifier Deal price: $65; street price: $75 Read our review of the best humidifier.

With temperatures dropping and more folks huddling inside heated homes, now’s a good time to consider a humidifier, which can soothe dry skin and help you breathe more easily. The Levoit Classic 300S is the first ultrasonic model we’ve found, after years of testing, that reliably does its job without over-humidifying a space. Cleaning is also more manageable here than on other humidifiers we’ve tried (though, yes, you still must clean it). This is our new pick in a forthcoming revision to our humidifier guide, and this model is down to a new low price of $65 for the blue color.

AmazonBasics AA Rechargeable Batteries 24-Pack Deal price: $21; street price: $29 Read our review of the best rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.

Something around the house will always need batteries, and if you want to go the rechargeable route (it only makes sense), this is a solid discount for a 24-pack of AmazonBasics AA Rechargeable Batteries. They’re one of the top picks in our rechargeable battery guide, all of which performed about the same. Since we typically suggest grabbing whichever of the three batteries we recommend in our guide is currently the least expensive, these are your best bet right now. For what it’s worth, we haven’t seen that many discounts on these batteries lately, either.

Ticket to Ride Board Game Deal price: $22; street price: $33 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Ticket To Ride: Europe Board Game Deal price: $19; street price: $40 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Ticket to Ride is a train-themed game we recommend for new gamers in our guide to the best beginner board games for adults. Simple to learn, it challenges players to build the best train routes across North America. There’s a fair bit of strategy involved, and it’s more fun than it sounds. At just $22, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for Ticket to Ride in recent years.

The Europe variation of Ticket to Ride is also currently available for a new low price. It has slightly different rules and more advanced options than the original, but it’s still a great way to get family and friends together for a fun and engaging time.

Black+Decker Max Lithium Flex Vacuum BDH2020FL Deal price: $77; street price: $95 Read our review of the best car vacuum.

It’s probably silly to call a handheld vacuum life-changing, but if you’ve ever had to live with a shedding-prone pet, you’ll understand. The Black+Decker Max Lithium Flex Vacuum BDH2020FL offers solid suction, a 4-foot flexible hose, and clip-on tools that can help it reach spots in your car and home that other handheld vacuums at this price can’t touch. This model has been a longtime fixture in our handheld vacuum guide for just that reason (it’s great for cars, too). At $77, it’s at the lowest price we’ve seen for it.

Jabra Elite 75t Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Deal price: $80; street price: $130 Read our review of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds.

A good pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds should be comfortable, discreet, and great sounding—and our top pick fits that bill perfectly. Successor to the well-regarded 65t set, the Elite 75t pair is an improvement in almost every way: These earbuds are smaller, lighter, and blessed with a longer battery life for extended listening. With easy-to-use controls and an IP55 rating against water, dust, and sweat damage (which means they’re good even for a workout or a long run), the 75t earbuds are likely to be the ones you’ll want to use again and again.

GIR Silicone Spatula (Red) Deal price: $9; street price: $13 Read our review of the best spatulas.

Alerting all bakers: The GIR Silicone Spatula is our pick for the best silicone spatula for preparing batters and doughs or cooking over high heat. Even if you’re not angling to be the next Christina Tosi, you’ll find surprising uses for the silicone spatula, from getting the last bit of peanut butter out of the jar to transferring all the aioli from the mixing bowl to the serving dish. Clip the on-page coupon to get this model in red for $9, a great price.

Elephant & Piggie: The Complete Collection Deal price: $58; street price: $85 Read our review of the best gifts for 5-year-olds.

If you’re still looking for a great Christmas gift for a beginning reader, consider the widely beloved Elephant & Piggie: The Complete Collection. The 25 Mo Willems books are certainly not exclusively appealing to 5-year-olds and would bring joy to young readers of all ages—and the set even includes Elephant & Piggie metal bookends. If you have a child in mind who might love this series, now is a good time to buy.

OXO Good Grips 3-Qt Glass Baking Dish with Lid Deal price: $16; street price: $20 Read our review of the best 13-by-9 casserole dish.

You won’t know how many uses you have for this 3-quart glass baking dish until you get it. Great for everyday meals, our budget pick for the best 13-by-9-inch casserole dish is inexpensive and made of clear borosilicate glass that allows it to bake just as evenly as our more expensive picks. We also appreciate its large, easy-to-grip handles and its included lid, which makes storing leftovers a breeze. Right now, you can snag this OXO baking dish for a price just shy of the lowest we’ve seen.

Exploding Kittens Card Game Deal price: $10; street price: $18 Read our review of the best gifts for families.

Throw Throw Burrito Deal price: $13; street price: $25 Read our review of the best gifts for 9-year-olds.

A cross between Apples to Apples and Russian Roulette, the enormously popular, silly Exploding Kittens card game is great for kids ages 7 and older, but we think it’s a great game for the whole family, especially if you’re looking to fill the downtime between holiday meals. This is a great deal, bringing the game down to $10 from a street price of about $20.

Throw Throw Burrito, from the people behind Exploding Kittens, is an excellent game for older kids (we feature it in our guide to the best gifts for 9-year-olds). The aim is to swap cards until you find a match or play a burrito card, the latter of which leads to a back-to-back “burrito duel” or an all-out “burrito war.” Sharp reflexes are a must, and it’s probably best to play this game outside, or at least somewhere with tons of room. Squishy burritos will indeed be flying.

Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier (White) Deal price: $165; street price: $190 Read our review of the best air purifier.

There are many air purifiers that you can get these days, but the Coway AP-1512HH Mighty is the absolute best. Our top pick for six years, not only does it work great (in half an hour, it reduced heavy smoke pollution in a 135-square-foot, 1,215-cubic-foot New York office by as much as 99.6%), but during our long-term testing, we’ve found it to be the cheapest option to own, with both a lower up-front price and a lower cost over the years in replacement filters and electricity bills. This is not the best price we’ve seen on this purifier, but it’s still a noteworthy drop because the street price has increased since 2019.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) Deal price: $100; street price: $120 Read our review of the best stylus for your iPad.

If you use your tablet to draw or take notes, you know how absolutely essential a comfortable and precise stylus is. Our upgrade iPad stylus pick is the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation), which offers impressive pressure sensitivity, and right now it’s down to just under $100, matching the best deal we’ve seen for it. We’ve seen a bunch of deals for this model of late, including bundle deals with other iPad accessories, but we have yet to see a lower price.

Anker PowerPort III Nano USB Phone Charger (pack of two) Deal price: $20; street price: $35 Read our review of the best USB phone charger.

While we’d never suggest that you go out and buy a new USB charger just for kicks, if you’re looking for a compact and fast USB charger to keep in a travel bag or just to have a spare, get the PowerPort III Nano. The two-pack is now down to $20 from a typical $35. Our top pick, the PowerPort III Nano offers only a single charging port, but we think that’s a worthwhile trade-off considering its tiny size. It’s the same size as Apple’s 5-watt charger, but it supplies up to 20 watts over USB-C. That’s enough power to charge most phones more than halfway full in just 30 minutes. Excellent for both Android and iPhone users, it also powers Apple’s MagSafe wireless charging system at the maximum 15 watts.

Oral-B Pro 1000 Electric Toothbrush Deal price: $30; street price: $40 Read our review of the best electric toothbrush.

The electric toothbrush we’ve loved for a very long time has been redesigned and even improved. With a built-in two-minute timer and a wide selection of compatible brush heads, the Oral-B Pro 1000’s new design also no longer has the gunk-collecting ridges that we considered to be a flaw (but not a dealbreaker) in our review of the previous model. The only drawback we found is that it tends to be louder than our other electric toothbrush picks. Down to $30, this is a solid deal on our top electric toothbrush pick. If you’re ordering from Walmart, choose store pickup to bypass any pesky shipping fees.

Toto Washlet C5 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat Deal price: $387; street price: $417 Read our review of the best bidet toilet seat or washlet.

Anyone who hasn’t used a bidet should really consider one. (If you know, you know.) We love the Toto Washlet C5 for its many features and controls. It includes a detachable remote and programmable user settings, as well as a pre-mist, a heated seat, warm water, and adjustable pressure controls. As proud owners of a Toto Washlet C5, we can’t describe how many times guests have come over and walked out converts, texting at the most inopportune moments asking about the washlet’s various features. If you want the premium bidet experience, this deal is for you.

Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier Deal price: $85; street price: $100 Read our review of the best air purifier.

Although air purifiers do an essential job, they also can be a bit of an eyesore. Luckily, our budget pick, the Levoit Core 300, is affordable, attractive, and compact—all while still delivering a noteworthy cleaning performance. Though it’s not the most energy-efficient model over the long term, and it doesn’t hold up against our other picks in larger rooms, the Levoit Core 300 impressed us in smaller rooms such as offices and bedrooms. It was a good performer in our tests, reducing particulates by more than 97% on its high setting in 30 minutes in a 135-square-foot New York City office; on medium, it reduced them by more than 92%. This is the lowest price we’ve seen, so don’t hesitate if you’re looking to add a breath of fresh air to your living space.
