Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

iRobot Roomba Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

In this article, we’re breaking down what to expect from iRobot’s upcoming 2025 Black Friday event. That includes when the sale is likely to start, what kinds of products tend to be discounted, how much you can save, and a look back at some of the exact deals that were offered last year.


Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Based on iRobot’s past Black Friday schedules, the 2025 sale will likely begin on Friday, November 21, 2025, which is exactly one week before Black Friday, exclusively at irobot.com. That lines up with how they’ve done things before, rolling out deals early and keeping them live through Thanksgiving weekend.

Most of the offers should stay active until Saturday, November 29, 2025, which is the day after Black Friday. You’ll probably see a few products go out of stock before the end of the sale, especially the more heavily discounted models or bundles. But for the most part, if you’re shopping anytime during that nine-day window, you’ll have access to the full range of offers.


Expected Discounts

Last year, discounts reached up to $400 off select Roomba robots. On the accessory side, the savings were up to 50% off on select replenishment kits and parts.

The biggest markdowns tend to be on the higher-end robot vacuums, like the Roomba Combo j9+ or the Roomba j9+ with a self-emptying base. Even mid-range models like the i5+ or the newer Combo series typically see big drops in price.

Accessories also get solid discounts. These include brush kits, filter packs, mop pads, and other replacement items. If you already own a Roomba and want to stock up on parts, Black Friday is a good time to do it at half the usual price.


Examples of Last Year’s Deals

To give you a better idea of what to expect this year, here’s a look at what iRobot offered during the 2024 Black Friday sale. These prices were available on iRobot’s official website and are a good reference point for what might come back (or improve) in 2025.

Intimissimi Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Like most big retailers, Intimissimi is expected to roll out its Black Friday event well before the long weekend. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect this year, when the sale will likely start, how much you might save, and what kinds of deals are most likely to show up.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates and Early Access (Predicted)

This year, Black Friday falls on November 28, 2025. But for My Intimissimi loyalty members, the shopping is expected to start much earlier. Early access will likely begin on Friday, November 21, 2025, exclusively at us.intimissimi.com, a full week before the official Black Friday. All you need to do is log into your My Intimissimi account to get access to the deals. If you’re not a member, it’s free to sign up online, and it’s probably worth it if you want first dibs on the best items.

For everyone else, the main sale is expected to go live on Black Friday itself, November 28, 2025, and run through the weekend until Sunday, November 30, 2025. After that, the Cyber Monday sale will likely pick up on Monday, December 1, 2025, and end on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.


Discount Levels You Can Expect

Based on past years, you can expect  to see up to 50% off select styles. These discounts don’t usually apply sitewide but focus on certain collections and seasonal picks. Some categories may see lower discounts, such as around 20% to 30%, especially on new arrivals. But if you’re flexible with style and color, you’ll likely find some great deals without having to dig too much.


Specific Deals from Last Year (2024)

Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the exact deals Intimissimi offered during the 2024 Black Friday event, which might give a hint of what’s coming this year:

  • Gioia Super Push-Up Bra: Originally $59, down to $35.40 (40% off)

  • Lara Lace Balconette Bra: Originally $69, marked down to $41.40 (40% off)

  • Basic Cotton Bikini Panties: 3 for $30 (normally $14.50 each)

  • Silk Camisole with Lace Trim: Was $79, dropped to $47.40 (40% off)

  • Men’s Cotton Boxer Shorts: Regularly $22, discounted to $15 (approx. 30% off)

  • Modal Pajama Set: Regularly $99, on sale for $59.40 (40% off)

  • Holiday Gift Sets (2-piece lingerie): Priced around $49.90, depending on set

  • Thermal Long-Sleeve Bodysuit: Down to $39 from $65 (about 40% off)

It’s not clear if these exact items will return, but Intimissimi tends to offer similar collections year after year, often just updated with new colors or patterns.


Returns and Shipping Info

Shipping is typically free over a certain order amount, which has been around $75 in past years, though it could change for the 2025 sale. Intimissimi usually offers standard shipping, and they sometimes extend return periods for holiday purchases. If you’re shopping gifts, this can be helpful. Be sure to check return policies at checkout to confirm what applies to your order.

Instant Pot Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

If you’re looking for a deal on a new pressure cooker, air fryer, or other countertop appliance, Instant Pot’s upcoming Black Friday sale is worth keeping an eye on. Based on past trends and what we know so far, here’s what you can expect from Instant Pot’s Black Friday 2025 sale, including when it will start, how long it will last, the types of products you’ll find, average discount levels, and examples from previous years.


When the Black Friday 2025 Sale Will Likely Start

In 2025, Black Friday falls on November 28, 2025. That’s when the main Instant Pot sale is expected to begin. The sale will likely run through the weekend and transition into a Cyber Monday event on December 1, 2025. Based on how the brand has handled past years, there probably won’t be many early deals released ahead of Black Friday, so most of the markdowns should drop all at once when the sale officially kicks off.

Instant Pot doesn’t usually spread its Black Friday offers over a long timeline the way some other brands do. That means if you want to get the best items at the lowest prices, it’s best to shop on Friday morning or sometime over the weekend before things sell out. Some items could also carry over to Cyber Monday, but those will probably be limited.


Where to Find the Deals

Instant Pot products are sold through a range of major retailers, so deals are expected to appear in several places. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Instant Pot’s own website are likely to feature most of the sale prices. The discounts tend to be consistent across retailers, though stock levels may vary. For example, some exclusive bundle deals might be offered only on Instant Brands’ website, while Amazon may have lightning deals with limited quantities.

It’s a good idea to compare prices between a few stores before buying. You might see the same appliance bundled with different accessories, or one site may offer free shipping or extra perks.


How Big the Discounts Will Be

You can expect to see markdowns ranging from around 20% to over 50% off during the Instant Pot Black Friday sale. Some of the best discounts will be reserved for specific models, including older versions or items that have been replaced by newer designs. In past years, the average discount for a core product like a multicooker or air fryer has been about 40% off, with certain models going higher.

For 2025, it’s likely that new or recently updated models won’t be discounted as heavily, but older ones may see steep price cuts. Accessories and bundles may also be included in the sale, with some smaller items marked down by around 25% to 35%.


Discount Examples from Previous Years

To get a sense of what to expect this year, it helps to look at last year’s deals. During the Black Friday 2024 sale, here were some notable price drops:

  • Instant Pot Omni 6-Slice Air Fryer Toaster Oven (18L) was 41% off.

  • Instant Pot 6-Quart Multi-Cooker with Accessories was 54% off.

  • Instant Pot Rio Wide 7.5-Quart Multi-Cooker was on sale for $99.99, down $30 from its regular price.

These types of deals have been consistent for a few years. Usually, at least one 6-quart pressure cooker drops by 50% or more, and air fryers tend to land in the 35% to 45% off range. High-capacity models or combo units may not get as big a cut in dollar amount but still represent strong value during Black Friday.


Popular Models to Watch for

Based on popularity and past trends, here are some models that may be included in 2025’s sale:

  • Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1: This classic model often gets marked down and is one of the most widely used.

  • Instant Pot Duo Plus: A step up from the standard Duo with more functions, this one usually sees a solid discount.

  • Instant Pot Pro and Pro Plus: These are higher-end versions with more advanced settings. Expect moderate discounts, possibly in the 20% to 30% range.

  • Instant Pot Crisp and Duo Crisp: These combo models (pressure cookers with air fryers) are common sale items.

  • Instant Omni Toaster Oven Series: This line of multifunction ovens has been discounted during both Black Friday and Cyber Monday in recent years.


What Not to Expect

While there are plenty of great discounts, not everything will be heavily marked down. Brand-new releases or recently updated models may only get slight reductions. Instant Pot typically focuses on older or current-generation models for the biggest price drops.

Also, don’t expect sitewide sales or blanket percentage-off codes. The deals are usually targeted to specific products and not general markdowns across the board.
