Microwave deals FAQs
When is Amazon's next sale event?
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is running from the 8th and 9th of October, bringing with it two days of epic deals - including microwaves - exclusively for Prime Members. It's always a great opportunity to do some low-cost autumn-winter shopping and get your hands on items you've had your eye on for a while, as well as stocking up and saving on household essentials (or even prepping early for Christmas).
What is Black Friday?
This huge event originated in America, with tech and electronic goods such as smart TVs going on sale right after Thanksgiving to entice customers to begin their Christmas shopping. Now that it’s moved over to the UK, you’ll find massive discounts on everything, not just kitchen appliances and tech. It's now the biggest event of the year for all retailers and a great time to grab a bargain.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday takes place on the 29th of November this year, across the world. But, in previous years, we've seen most sales begin a week or so before - and some at the beginning of November (through to Christmas). Everyone from Amazon to Ninja Kitchen to ProCook may be offering some microwave discounts across their wide range of appliance goodies.
