I shop online for a living, so I’ve learned to be discerning. One of my cardinal rules is that I won’t even consider buying a product unless it has a decent number of positive ratings and glowing reviews. Well, lucky for me, Walmart’s Black Friday sale has a massive inventory of items on sale and a number of them come with 10,000, 20,000 or even 50,000 five-star ratings. That, dear reader, is when you know that an item is somehow exceptional and deserves a spot in your cart.
I took the liberty of (browser) window-shopping Walmart’s Black Friday sale — from TVs and cookware to sneakers and vacuums — to find top-rated products with at least 10,000 perfect, five-star ratings. Gift-worthy goodies by Keurig, Apple, Skechers and other big brands made the list and are on massive sale for Black Friday. There are treats for under the tree, like a 65-inch smart TV by Onn for $50 off. There’s stuff to slip inside a stocking, including a pair of white gold-and-crystal hoops for a stunning $15 (that’s 85% off).
And don’t forget to spoil yourself, too, while you’re shopping. There are plenty more hot picks where those came from, like a lightweight Bissell for a low $59. Keep scrolling to discover fan-favorite picks at Walmart’s Black Friday sale and get ready to pounce before these deals sell out.
March your way into a loved one’s heart this holiday season by bestowing upon them a pair of comfy, all-day walking shoes. These Skechers slip-ons have a soft, breathable mesh upper and memory foam insole for cushioning and support. Wide-width options ensure a cozy fit for everyone.
“I bought these about six years ago and love them — they are so comfortable and I can wear them anywhere. They’re a tad worn now but still perfectly comfortable,” wrote a shopper, proving these go the distance. It’s not a surprise as 10,000 Walmart shoppers award the kicks with five stars.
What’s your favorite holiday movie? Watch it in crystal clear 4K Ultra High Definition resolution on the big screen courtesy of this Onn smart TV that has over 18,000 five-star ratings. It provides access to Roku’s ample library of streaming services and channels, all navigable through an easy interface.
Said a loyal customer: “This is our second Onn television. We bought the first one a few years back so we weren’t apprehensive about buying another one. It has been trouble-free. The new one has a great picture and there are no issues with streaming. It has the typical Roku remote which we are familiar with. Overall a great TV for the price!”
The best Black Friday deal on this list — at over 85% off — is this pair of gold-plated hop earrings, something sparkly to help ring in the new year. The brilliant earrings have 34 Swarovski crystals each and a comfy, secure latchback closure. They’re hypoallergenic, too, and come packaged in a luxury jewelry gift box.
With 10,000 five-star ratings, they’re destined to be a winner under the tree. “I bought them as a gift and ended up keeping them for myself! These have some weight to them and thicker material. I have worn them for three months straight and they are holding up to daily use,” a glam shopper confessed.
Nearly 23,000 shoppers have anointed this single-serve Keurig a perfect product, and I’ll add that it’s an ideal holiday gift, too. Imagine presenting this to your work bestie or a spouse who works from home along with a bag of their favorite beans or a travel mug.
This Keurig coffee maker comes in your basic black, but it’s also available in fun hues like turquoise and a very holiday-friendly sage. “This unit looks great in the kitchen, and brews very quietly,” a customer wrote.
Get festive in the kitchen with bold red cookware by Tramontina for just $40 (the well-loved set also comes in gray). The nonstick interior makes cooking and cleanup a breeze, and the stay-cool handles keep things safe and comfy. It’s designed to work on gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops, and it even goes in the dishwasher.
“This is a surprisingly high-quality cookware set for the price. I have had this set for four months and it is holding up very well. The color, red, is vibrant,” attested one of 10,000 fans.
If someone on your list would love the gift of stellar sound in a lightweight package, this pair of Airpods has their name written all over its fast-charging case.
These second-generation buds, now $40 off, offer seamless connectivity, quick pairing, hands-free Siri access, and improved battery life among many other features. On a single charge, these Airpods can support up to 24 hours of listening time — but how much holiday music is too much holiday music, anyway?
More than 50,000 users give them five stars: “Clear, sharp sound! Easy to control with just a couple of taps. Comfortable on the ears,” wrote a fan.
Clean freaks, your Black Friday deal is right here in the form of the Bissell PowerForce Helix. This bagless upright vacuum has all the powerful suction your heart can desire wrapped in a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver design that’s great for someone with a bad back or limited range of movement.
Say goodbye to pet hair, tracked-in dirt and Santa’s cookie crumbs hiding in the carpet. The dirt tank empties in a flash, and the washable filter? Total game-changer.
“This vacuum is on the smaller size, but has the power of a Dyson. Seriously, not joking I vacuumed with my heavy expensive vacuum first, then this one and got the carpet so much more clean,” wrote one of 20,000 fans.
Get smart about the way you heat and cool your house with this thermostat, an energy-efficient smart device that adapts to your temperature preferences. It’s compatible with about 95% of heating and cooling systems, so it’s a safe bet to gift this gem. The Nest app lets you control it remotely, too— via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, if you choose.
Just about 12,000 purchasers give it a perfect rating. “This smart thermostat has saved me on average about $100 on my electric bill. I was hesitant to buy it, but it really is very easy to install and navigate,” wrote a reassuring reviewer.
Nothing screams the holidays like a pair of discounted glittery clogs to match the tinsel on your tree. The Crocs Baya glitter clogs — with nearly 20,000 perfect ratings — combine the classic comfort of Crocs with a loud-and-proud look. Like all Crocs, they’re easy to clean and quick to dry.
“I bought these Crocs for work. The best thing I did for myself! I’m on my feet most of the day and would come home with super swollen feet. These Crocs allow me to walk and stand comfortably,” wrote a five-star reviewer.
