Here are the best Black Friday deals at Kohl’s as of Nov. 20:
Kohl’s is this year’s Black Friday sleeper.
Though the department store released its 2020 Black Friday ad preview a little later than usual — weeks after we got scans for Walmart and Dell, actually — it’s managed to scrounge up some of the holiday season’s top deals on headphones, smart home devices, Fitbits, kitchen appliances, robot vacuums, and much more.
Kohl’s is even participating in Nintendo’s special system offer where you can bundle a Switch, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership for the price of the console itself — don’t miss that deal when it goes live Nov. 22.

And speaking of: While the six-day Kohl’s Black Friday Week Sale will kick off online at midnight EST and in-stores at 8 a.m. local time this Sunday, there’s a case to be made for taking advantage of the deals it’s dropped ahead of schedule.
For one thing — and this is key — you’ve got the chance to earn Kohl’s Cash to spend later during the official event. (Kohl’s Cash earned at the time of writing can be redeemed right in the sweet spot of Nov. 20 to 25.) You can also save an extra 15% on select items in stores and online through Nov. 21 by entering the code SAVE15 at checkout, while Kohl’s Card customers who shop between now and then will score up to 30% in additional savings.
In other words, there’s really no reason to hold back. Here are the best deals we’ve seen so far at Kohl’s as of Nov. 20:
AUDIO DEALS
Our top pick: Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones
-
Up to 12 hours of listening time on a single charge
-
Sweat- and water-resistant
-
Apple W1 chip for easy pairing
In one of the best headphone deals of the year, you can score a pair of Powerbeats3s for just $99.99, or half off their $199.99 MSRP, and Kohl’s will throw in $20 in Kohl’s Cash. (That’s a $120 savings altogether.)

SMART HOME DEALS

-
Built-in Google Assistant and Chromecast
-
Twice the bass power of the original Google Home Mini
-

Kohl’s is running the same deal as Best Buy and Walmart where you can get last fall’s Google Nest Mini on sale for only $29, or 41% off its suggested retail price of $49.

SMARTWATCH DEALS
Our top pick: Fitbit Charge 4
Click here to read Mashable’s official review of the Fitbit Charge 4.
Normally $149.99, both Amazon and Kohl’s have this spring’s new Fitbit Charge 4 on sale for $99.99 (or 33% off — its biggest discount yet). But by including $20 in Kohl’s Cash on top of those savings, the latter wins out with the better deal.

KITCHEN DEALS
Our top pick: Keurig K-Duo Plus
-
Uses both ground coffee and K-Cup pods
-
Large 60-ounce water reservoir
-
12-cup thermal carafe keeps coffee warm for up to 2 hours
The same thing happens here with Keurig’s 2019 K-Duo Plus coffee maker (typically $229.99), where Kohl’s matches Amazon‘s $199.99 Black Friday sale pricing and then one-ups it with $30 in bonus Kohl’s Cash. When all is said and done, buying it from the department store will be saving you a whole $60.

VACUUM DEALS
Our top pick: iRobot Roomba 677
-
Dirt Detect sensors pinpoint high-traffic areas that need the deepest clean
-
Alexa, Google Assistant, and WiFi support
-
Automatically docks and recharges after cleaning
This smart robot vacuum actually retails for $449.99, so Kohl’s $254.99 sale pricing (once you enter the code SAVE15 at checkout to take an extra 15% off) is actually saving you a whopping $195 — and an extra $50 in Kohl’s Cash is just the cherry on top.
