Best early Black Friday Ninja deals
We haven’t even made it to Thanksgiving yet, but the Black Friday sales have already begun. Target, Walmart, Kohl’s — everyone is dropping discounts right now to try and beat Amazon to the punch.
I’m going to be straight with you: Ninja is off to a slow start this year. A lot of the deals I flagged during Prime Day aren’t back yet, and I’m seeing a lot of inflated list prices designed to make a “sale” look better than it actually is. (Amazon and Walmart are notorious for this kind of math, especially around the holidays.)
But that’s why you’re here. We’ve tested most of these products, so we know what they actually cost and when a price drop is genuinely worth your money.
Here are the best early Black Friday Ninja deals we could find as of Nov. 19:

Why we like it
The Ninja Crispi is a Mashable fave, and it’s (surprisingly) at its Prime Day price of $159.95. So, if you missed out in October, now’s the time to add it to your cart. You can get it around this price (give or take five cents) at multiple retailers, including Kohl’s (you’ll also get $30 Kohl’s cash!), Macy’s, and other usual suspects (we now have additional retailers in our shop cards, so where you shop is up to you!). This deal includes two CleanCrisp glass containers and two storage lids. The six-cup container is designed for personal meals (and can cook them in about seven minutes), while the four-quart container is large enough to cook a four-pound chicken and veggies in one go.
Best runner-up deal
$179.99
at Amazon
$249.99
Save $70
Why we like it
If you need more cooking capacity, the Ninja Digital Air Fry 8-in-1 Countertop Oven is on sale for $179.99 at Amazon, down from $249.99. That’s a $70 savings. This isn’t the lowest we’ve ever seen it (it was around $129 in 2023), but it’s the lowest price it’s been in a while. This countertop appliance comes with an extra-large capacity air fry basket, wire rack, and crumb tray. It’s perfect for whipping up chicken wings, sheet pan dinners, or even dehydrating fruits and veggies.
Bonus deal
$184.99
at Amazon
$229.99
Save $45
Why we like it
The Ninja Creami (NC301) is currently on sale for $189.99 at Amazon. That’s a $39 price cut from its usual $229.99. It’s not the most earth-shattering discount we’ve ever seen, but what is unique here is that this isn’t a “Prime exclusive deal.” During Prime Day, you couldn’t get this price unless you were a member; now, it’s open to everyone.
The Creami is obviously a viral gadget, but our Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino has a realistic take: It’s a cool appliance, but it’s loud. She recommends it mostly for people with food allergies who need to control exactly what’s going into their treats, or for people who are serious about meal prepping. Even with the noise, it’s a solid deal that comes with two pint containers with lids. If you have kids, making custom flavors is a pretty fun Sunday night activity.
