Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November this year, and the week before, your inbox is already flooded with last chances. A cleaning appliance is a purchase you'll enjoy for years, or regret for years. In this guide you'll find out which Black Friday deals on cleaning appliances are really worth it, how to choose between a vacuum, steam cleaner or spot cleaner, and how to avoid buying a discount that isn't one.
Short answer
The best Black Friday deal is an appliance that solves a job you keep putting off every week, at a price below the lowest price of the past 30 days. Choose the problem first (dust, stains, or grease and limescale), then the appliance, and only then the discount. A big discount on the wrong appliance is still money wasted.
When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November.
Many web shops start their deals the week before and keep going until Cyber Monday on 30 November. Want the appliance at home before Sinterklaas or the holidays? An order that week gives you plenty of time: at Achaté, delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium takes 1-2 working days.
Which cleaning appliance suits your job?
Start with the job you put off most often. The table below shows which type of appliance matches which problem.
Problem, appliance and why it works
| Your problem | Appliance | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Daily dust, crumbs and hair | Stick vacuum | Cordless, quick to grab, also for sofa and stairs |
| You don't want to vacuum yourself any more | Robot vacuum with mopping function | Vacuums and mops on your schedule |
| Hard floors with stains and footprints | Wet & dry vacuum | Vacuums and mops in one go |
| Grease, limescale and dirt in grout | Steam cleaner | Heat instead of chemicals, kills 99.9% of bacteria |
| Stains on sofa, carpet and car seat | Spot cleaner | Rinses dirt out of the fibre and sucks it back up |
The best Black Friday deals by category
1. Vacuum cleaners
You use your vacuum more than anything else, so that's where a good deal pays off most. The Achaté Stick Vacuum PRO reaches up to 29 kPa of suction and weighs 2.6 kg. Want to hand over vacuuming completely? Take a look at the Achaté Robot Vacuum with mopping function. Torn between types? Then first read which Black Friday vacuum is worth it.
2. Steam cleaners
A steam cleaner cleans with tap water and heat. For targeted work on window frames, grout and taps, the Achaté Handheld Steam Cleaner PRO is the right fit; for floors and large surfaces, the Achaté Steam Cleaner PRO V2. We explain the difference in our guide to the right Black Friday steam cleaner.
3. Spot cleaners
A spot cleaner sprays water into the fibre and sucks it back up along with the dirt. The Achaté Spot Cleaner PRO with Steam & Hot Water works with hot water of around 50 °C and has a 1.4-litre clean water tank, handy for a whole sofa in one go. The Achaté Spot Cleaner was voted Product of the Year (Gekozen Product van het Jaar) in the Netherlands.
4. Bundles
Got more than one job? Then bundles are often the smartest deal, because you get appliances that complement each other in one go, like a steam cleaner with the electric cleaning brush for the grout.
How do you spot a real Black Friday discount?
A real discount is calculated from the lowest price of the past 30 days.
That's been the rule across the EU since 2022. If you see a crossed-out price you haven't seen anywhere in the past month, the discount is smaller than it looks. Also look at the total cost: shipping, attachments and replacement parts. You'll find all the checks in how to check whether a Black Friday discount is real.

Frequently asked questions about Black Friday
When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November. Cyber Monday follows on Monday 30 November. Many deals start a week earlier.
Is Black Friday always the cheapest time to buy?
Not always. Some prices are just as low in the weeks before. So compare the Black Friday price with the lowest price of the past 30 days, because that's the price the discount has to be calculated from.
Can I return a Black Friday purchase?
Yes. For online purchases you have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. At Achaté you get a 30-day trial period, also during Black Friday.
Should I wait for Cyber Monday?
Only if you're expecting a specific deal. For cleaning appliances, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are often similar, and ordering earlier gives you more certainty about stock and delivery before the holidays.
