AO Black Friday 2020: the best deals to look out for
Electricals retailer AO is expected to take part in the annual Black Friday sale this year, with thousands of bargains waiting to be snapped up.
While the retailer hasn’t yet confirmed the potential deals for the event, many retailers launch deals early, so it pays to watch out if you’re looking for a steal.

AO has cemented its place as one of the top places to get gadgets for your kitchen and home, and with a 100-day returns policy there’ll be no buyers remorse.
It’s worth doing your research when it comes to these sales, as you may still be able to find the product you want, or something similar, cheaper elsewhere.
You should always shop around before parting with your cash because it may not be the best value.
AO has a price match promise. It says: “We’ll price match any item we sell and it’s delivery against any other retailer – we’ll even match discount codes and those all-important sales periods.”
