The savings are on fire, so you really don’t want to miss out on the many Black Friday deals happening right now. Winter will be here sooner than you think, which is why you’ll want to waste no time in snagging this deal on the Ecobee SmartThermostat for $199. It’s one of many Amazon Black Friday deals available right now, but you can uncover more gadget sales with these Black Friday smart home sales.

The Ecobee SmartThermostat is the best smart thermostat if you’re invested in the Amazon Alexa ecosystem. With the extra $50 discount off its normal price, its total cost comes down to $199. It may not seem like a substantial discount, especially when you compare it to other smart home deals that are up for grabs right now, but it’s still notable given that sales on it are not frequent.

When it comes to monitoring the temperature and comfort level of your home, the Ecobee SmartThermostat is one of the most advanced around. With the included SmartSensor, it’ll dynamically adjust the comfort of a room by automatically adjusting the thermostat based on temperature and occupancy. It’s also the simplest smart thermostat to install, so you don’t need to be a pro. And since it supports Amazon’s Alexa, you can leverage voice controls to adjust the temperature to your liking. Using a smart thermostat such as this goes a long way in not only maintaining the temperature of your home, but you’ll also reap the rewards of saving money on your electric bill. It’s the main reason why so many consumers have made the upgrade.

If you’re looking for something that’s compatible with Google Assistant, then consider this the just-released Google Nest Thermostat (2020). It functions similarly but features a more minimalist design that some people may think of as more attractive.

This Apple Pencil Black Friday deal is still active — save 31% now

With so many great Amazon Black Friday deals that happened yesterday, we're sad to see so many of them go, but luckily there's still a couple you can grab if you act quickly. For example, Amazon still has the 2nd gen Apple Pencil discounted from $129 to $89. That said, we don't know how long the deal will last, especially since we've already seen similar deal ends, so be sure to pull the trigger on this and any other remaining Black Friday iPad deals you like. We also encourage you not to wait for any potential Cyber Monday deals since we don't know if they'll be as good or if there will even be any deals on the 2nd gen Apple Pencil.

If you like to draw, sketch, paint, or take notes on your iPad, the second-generation Apple Pencil will be your favorite iPad accessory. This generation Apple Pencil is compatible with newer iPad models, including the 6th-generation iPad mini; the 4th and 5th generation iPad Air, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPad Pro 12.9-inch; and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPad Pro 11-inch. You can also check which Apple Pencil works with which iPad.

You aren’t too late to shop this KitchenAid Black Friday mixer deal

It is almost universally acknowledged that the holy grail of all kitchen appliances is the KitchenAid stand mixer, so chances are you've got one of these on your holiday wish list, or you're hoping to bring one home for someone you love. If that's the case, today is your lucky day because, even though Black Friday is already over, the retailer is still knocking $200 off the original price of $450, meaning you can bring home a brand new KitchenAid Pro 5 stand mixer for only $250. At nearly half off, this is one of those Cyber Monday deals that simply can't be beaten. You'll definitely want to scoop up one of these KitchenAid mixers before this deal disappears for the season.

But just because this deal is still around even after Black Friday, that doesn't mean you'll have forever to buy it. There's no guarantee this deal will still be around on Cyber Monday and we've seen other great deals sell out already. So if you need a stand mixer, don't delay and grab one today!

Google Pixel Watch Black Friday deal hasn’t ended yet – save $50

The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

Despite the end of the shopping holiday, the Google Pixel Watch is still on sale in the Best Buy Black Friday deals at $50 off, so you'll only have to pay $300 for the wearable device instead of $350. We didn't expect it to appear in this year's Google Black Friday deals, as the smartwatch was just released last month, but here's your chance to already get it for cheaper than its sticker price. It's highly recommended that you finalize your purchase as soon as possible though, because the deal may disappear at any moment, and we're not sure if it will be available in the upcoming Cyber Monday deals.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Watch
The Google Pixel Watch, which was announced and launched alongside the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro in October, comes with Wear OS 3.5 without any additional user interface over it, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. The operating system will let you access information such as heart rate, daily steps, and other health metrics by swiping through the different Tiles, and it offers everything that you'd expect from a smartwatch, including maps, mobile payments, and alarms. The wearable device features a sharp and colorful 1.2-inch AMOLED screen, and a battery that promises to last up to 24 hours with fast-charging technology that replenishes 50% after 30 minutes and 100% after 80 minutes.
