More: 15 things you shouldn't wait until Black Friday to buy
You don't have to drop a small fortune to get some really useful stuff on Amazon—in fact, thanks to these deals, you can save a bundle and still let your inner shopaholic go wild. From stuff for the office to products that'll make your home comfier, these are the 5 best Amazon deals you can get this Thursday.
1. This deal is nuts: Get a new Echo Dot and a month of Amazon Music Unlimited for $10.98
You're gonna want to stop whatever you're doing and immediately proceed to Amazon on account of this deal. If you've been meaning to explore smart home more (or you just want a new Echo Dot for another room in your home), this deal will help you get a jumpstart on your Black Friday savings. Right now, you can score a brand new Echo Dot (3rd Gen.) for only $0.99 with one month of Amazon Music Unlimited included. While this particular Echo Dot isn't the best Amazon Echo smart speaker we've tested, it's a solid entry-level option, and at this price, you can't go wrong. This deal is only valid for new subscribers, but it's an awesome way to save a bundle and make your home more convenient in the process.
2. Save up to 48% on select KitchenAid stand mixers
Speaking of Black Friday, here's another deal that can help you get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping and save a ton of money. KitchenAid stand mixers are a huge wish list item during the holidays, especially among bakers. Right now, you can get the 5-quart Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Food Grinder Attachment in red, silver, white, black, toffee for $260. The mixer alone usually goes for $280, while the grinder attachment on its own retails for about $34. Although Amazon says you're saving $250, you're actually saving about $54. Still, it's a great deal and a way to save on an extremely popular stand mixer.
3. Under $200: This refurbished Dyson that works like new
Getting a Dyson for under $200 feels like cause for celebration, and right now, you may want to cue up the noisemakers, because this deal will definitely have you jumping for joy. If you're in the market for a cordless vacuum, Dyson V7 Motorhead Cordless Vacuum is a terrific option. While it's not one of our favorite cordless vacuums, it offers powerful suction, charges quickly, and is extremely versatile and lightweight, so you can move it around the house with ease. This model is renewed, meaning it was pre-owned, but it's been approved by Amazon and comes with a 6-month Dyson limited warranty. The refurbished model usually goes for $249, but you can save an extra $76 if you snag it now on sale.
Get the Dyson V7 Motorhead Cordless Vacuum for $172.99-$179.99 (Save $69-$76.01)
4. Under $10: Our favorite silk sleep mask
Struggling to fall asleep every night? This silk sleep mask is the best silk sleep mask we've ever tried and could help you get a better night's rest. Soft and smooth to the touch, this silk mask sits low enough that no light sneaks in at the bottom. Although it can slip off during sleep (like most silk masks do), the padded material fully blocks out light. Right now, you can get it for 20% off with an on-page coupon, which is one of the best prices we've ever seen for it.

5. Lowest price alert: This expandable suitcase that's big enough to fit everything
If you're spending an extended period of time abroad, you probably need a suitcase that's big enough to fit all of your essentials, and then some. The Magna 2 from Travelpro is enormous, and while it was the best carry-on luggage we ever tested, our tester loved the look and design of the Magna 2, and liked that it came with a removable garment bag. They also called it the " finest [quality] of any of the spinner-style carry-ons that I tested." It is big, so keep that in mind before you buy, but that size coupled with this great discount make it a must-grab.
