This is what the Escaparate editors are going to buy on Black Friday

The editors of EL PAÍS Escaparate choose their star product for Black Friday 2023.

In the editorial staff of EL PAÍS Escaparate we are aware that, throughout the year, we must find a space to get hold of some of the products that we have been wanting to buy for a long time. And we can’t find a better time than in the middle of Black Friday week. As we did not want to abuse an extensive wish list, ours is very short but gets to the point: each of the editors chooses their star product.

In short, a very interesting Amazon wish list: we have covered most of the categories that will conquer the pocket of an average user. In this selection we have also highlighted other online platforms where you can choose each of these discounted items: PcComponentes, El Corte Inglés or Druni. Don’t let them escape you!

Anker Q30 long-range wireless headphones

My wish list includes this star product. By Daniel Muela.

The wired headphones with a headband design from the Sennheiser brand that I had at home said enough at the end of the summer. And, although the wait has been long, I am seduced by the idea of ​​purchasing wireless headphones on sale on Black Friday and at a reasonable price: around 60 euros. There are not many that offer a high quality-price ratio, although there is one that stands out on platforms like Amazon: the Anker Q30. I think it is the ideal candidate to get started in this product category before making the jump to a higher model. I would use it, above all, to enjoy my favorite music or long podcasts while teleworking or in moments of leisure when watching series or movies on your computer or mobile.

Samsung S23 Ultra mobile with 256 GB capacity

My wish list includes this star product. By Luis Campo.

What I need in the short term is a smartphone that performs daily, not only in work tasks, but also in other tasks around the house; Among them, being able to talk to my family—they live in Colombia—without fear of running out of battery mid-conversation and, of course, being able to see them clearly when I make video calls. And I have been wanting to purchase a high-end Samsung model for some time, like the company’s flagship: the Samsung S23 Ultra. I think it is a device that has very good qualities, with sufficient memory and a high-performance camera. Furthermore, I would like to try another brand different from the one I have had in the last five years, which have been two Xiaomi devices. They have done the trick for me, yes, but I think it is time to buy an all-terrain mobile.

Polaroid Now+ Gen 2 Camera

My wish list includes this star product. By Beatriz Gámez.

Although I’ve been thinking about it for years, I think it’s time to replace my old Polaroid camera. The reason? I bought it second hand and it has a parallax error. This makes it more uncomfortable to take quality photographs in some contexts, although it handles well in landscape format. On the other hand, it is difficult to find more modern cartridges (with filters or special backgrounds) as it is a machine that can only be used with a specific type of cartridge. If I had this latest model of Polaroid camera in my hands, I could take snapshots Very cool portraits and interiors, which I can’t do now.

Cat Tower and Play Center

My wish list includes this star product. By Nacho Meneses.

I have been enjoying the company of cats at home for more than 20 years and, in fact, I have just expanded the feline family with a third member. Problem? I must get a game center so that they can have fun and avoid doing it as much as possible with other furniture or sofas in the home. For this reason, I think that the Black Friday sales are a good opportunity to find the product I want. The one in the image is ideal for my needs: it has several compartments, including one to hide in, and up to three levels of games: something that fascinates them because they always want to climb to high places. Plus, it’s a good way to stay active while they don’t have me present.

It has been great for me to take advantage of the discounts on the occasion of the Black Friday celebration.

My wish list includes this star product. By María Sánchez.

I’ve been wanting to renew my running shoes for a while, so I’ll take advantage of the Black Friday offers to get a running model like this one from Asics.

My wish list includes this star product. By Eva Armas.

It is one of the most famous brands of brushes on the market, they are sold in packs and, what is even better: it is sold with a very powerful discount this Black Friday week. The latter is what has seduced me the most since I have them on my radar. Even though I’ve been using them for a while, I can’t get enough of them.

Cosori 5.5 liter capacity air fryer

My wish list includes this star product. By Paula Sancho.

My family knows very well how many months I have been resisting this small appliance that has been a sales success in recent years. I keep seeing new recipes on social media that have made me consider the possibility, on the one hand, of cooking in a healthier way (I have small children at home) and, on the other hand, spending less on electricity by not using the oven. Furthermore, in EL PAÍS Showcase We have talked at length about air fryers and those from Cosori always stand out for their great quality. So, what better than Black Friday to get it with a significant discount?

Dyson V15 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

My wish list includes this star product. By Regina de Miguel.

Taking advantage of Black Friday, if I had to choose a product to buy on this date it would be a cordless stick vacuum cleaner. I have the classic vacuum cleaner with a bag that works connected to the power and although I am satisfied with the results it gives me, I admit that it takes up a lot of space and sometimes I miss greater freedom of movement when I use it. This Dyson V15 Detect seems like a the most successful option for its effectiveness, results and suction power. Furthermore, my colleague Laura Pajuelo had the opportunity to try it and she was delighted.

20% discount, save 162 euros at Dyson.
