Home Depot is officially kicking off the holiday shopping frenzy weeks ahead of schedule. Running in stores and online through Nov. 25, the retailer’s Black Friday Savings Event is doing what it does best: massive cordless power tool promos, rock-bottom holiday decor, and timely kitchen upgrades designed to bail you out before hosting duties begin. They also have sale prices on robot lawn mowers, which could be the ultimate Christmas gift for your yard.
The main draw for DIYers and woodworkers is the return of Home Depot’s power tool BOGO event, where buying qualifying battery or starter kits from heavy hitters like Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Ryobi unlocks a free bare tool.
When do Black Friday sales actually start? Official sale times for Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target
Meanwhile, the seasonal aisles are loaded with budget wins, including $5.98 LED string lights, $19.98 inflatables, and sub-$50 pre-lit Christmas trees, along with tiered appliance discounts that can add up to $1,250 in total savings.
Instead of making you comb through dozens of pages, we filtered out the filler to bring you the best deals worth grabbing from the Black Friday ad.

If you just want a decent tree set up before dinner, this 6.5-foot tree comes ready to go with 200 color-changing lights already wired into the branches. The color-changing micro fairy LEDs stay illuminated even if an individual bulb burns out or gets knocked loose. The 750 branch tips form a classic, dense silhouette with a manageable 41-inch base that tucks neatly into apartments or living rooms without taking up your entire walkways.
You also get plenty of control over the ambiance, thanks to four lighting presets — ranging from steady warm white to multicolor fades — and an included foot pedal switch that saves you from crawling across the floor every night just to unplug the stand.

Cordless tools are useless once their batteries tap out, and this two-pack makes sure you always have a fresh one on standby. With two 5.0Ah packs in the box, you can keep one locked in a drill or saw while the other charges on the charger. They deliver way more runtime than standard packs, handle drops and rough garage knocks without cracking, and even work in freezing weather down past zero degrees.

The everyday perks are just as helpful. Each battery has a built-in LED gauge so you can check how much juice is left before you start a project, and the included charger supports both big M18 and compact M12 batteries, saving you from plugging in two different chargers. Even better, buying the kit unlocks a free bare tool at checkout — with choices, including impact wrenches, circular saws, and jobsite vacs.

The Shark PowerPro Cordless Stick Vacuum features a self-cleaning brushroll that prevents long hair and pet fur from wrapping around the bar, so you don’t have to cut clogs. Its FloorDetect feature automatically adjusts the roller speed when you glide from bare floors to rugs, so you don’t have to keep pausing to flip power switches.
Beyond floor cleaning, it runs for up to 50 minutes in handheld mode, has headlights to spot crumbs under dark furniture, and includes a sealed HEPA filter to keep fine dust from escaping back into the air. When you want to clean crumbs off the couch or tidy up car seats, the wand unclicks, turning the Shark PowerPro into a handheld with the included crevice and upholstery tools.

The Whirlpool 30-inch Freestanding Electric Range is built for busy dinner nights when you just want to get food on the table without hovering over the stove. Its No Preheat Mode lets you skip waiting for the cavity to warm up when baking frozen pizzas, while a built-in temperature sensor balances heat output so casseroles bake evenly from edge to center.
On the surface, the five-burner cooktop includes a FlexHeat dual radiant burner that expands from 6 to 9 inches, letting you fit smaller saucepans or large stockpots that boil water up to 40% faster. You also get a dedicated low-heat Warm Zone right in the middle to hold sides until the main dish is ready.

Prep for the next store with Home Depot’s early Black Friday sale on the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 portable power station with a 100W solar panel. Together, the bundle is on sale for $699. That’s a great deal, considering the power station alone has a list price of $649 at Jackery.
The HomePower 1000 v2 has a capacity of 1.024 kWh, with a consistent output rated at 1,500W and a peak of 3,000W. During the next power outage, you’ll be able to keep phones charged up, the living room light on, and make a pot of coffee come morning. The 100W solar panel means you can recharge outside in the sun once the storm passes. As a bonus, it’s great for camping trips next summer.
