A laptop that’s sure to excite gamers, especially with its discounted price, the Asus TUF A15 is an excellent performer.

7. Best Cleaning Deal: Roborock Q7 Max+ Robot Vacuum 

Pros

  • Mops and vacuums simultaneously
  • Features several cleaning customisation options
  • Self-emptying dustbin
  • Efficiently tracks cleaning routes

Cons

  • Does not work on a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, some reviewers say

A robot vacuum cleaner is perhaps the best investment you can make in any cleaning device. One of the highest rated robot vacuums is the Roborock Q7 Max+, which doesn’t just vacuum, but also mops and empties its own dustbin. In fact, with its 2.5-litre dust bag, it stores up to seven weeks of debris, so you don't have to worry if you forget about emptying it out. This capable robot vacuum uses 4,200Pa of suction power to navigate around your home and efficiently clean up dust and debris. Its LiDAR (light detection and ranging) navigation system allows it to create precise maps, and monitor cleaning routes. Reviewers say the device’s dustbin and water tank are quite large (470ml and 350ml respectively), so they don’t have to clean it out or refill very often. But do note that it works on a 2.5GHz Wi-Fi connection, so if you have a 5GHz connection, you might have to find a more suitable pick.

Bonus: Buy with 0% installments and pay Dh91.58 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh63 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh89.

8. Best Grooming Deal: Revlon One-Step Combo Pack

Pros

  • Two-in-one bundle with hot air oval and paddle brushes
  • Great for adding volume
  • Three heat and two speed settings
  • Dries and styles hair at the same time

Cons

  • Can get noisy

Style your locks to the nines for the holidays, without stepping into a salon. All you need is this bundle set by Revlon, which includes its TikTok-viral hot oval brush and a flat hot paddle brush. Both styling tools combine a hair dryer and brush in one, so you're saving time right out of the shower. Click the rotating controller at the bottom to get multiple speeds and heat settings. While the oval brush adds bouncy beach waves, the paddle brush smooths the hair down for a straighter look. Reviewers add that the tools get loud, but they're worth the coin, especially when the volumising results are incomparable to flat iron.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh18 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh25.

9. Best Appliance Deal: Black+Decker Multifunction Stand Mixer

Pros

  • Large six-litre capacity
  • 10 speed levels with pulse function
  • Whisks, kneads and beats
  • Not very noisy and stable on its feet
  • Transparent guard for mess-free baking

Cons

  • Does not accommodate cakes larger than 1.5kg

It's not quite the winter holidays until the house is filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods. Place the Black and Decker stand mixer on the countertop and whip up cookies, cakes and pies faster and tastier than ever before. The six-litre multifunctional baking tool has a convenient knob on the side that takes the machine through 10 speeds and a pulse function, thanks to the powerful 1,000-watt motor. It arrives with three accessories - an aluminium dough hook for kneading up to 1.5kg flour, a beater for heavy-duty mixing and a stainless steel whisk for whipping cream. A transparent lid helps to contain the batter inside the bowl, and you can add ingredients safely via the feeding hatch. According to reviewers, it does an excellent job of kneading pizza and chapati dough, and whipping eggs for its price tag. They put it to use on the daily, with no complaints on the noise front either.

Warranty: The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty. Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh23 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh33.

10. Best Air Fryer Deal: Nutricook Air Fryer Slim XL 

Pros

  • Spacious air fryer basket
  • Select from eight cooking functions
  • Clear viewing window
  • Dishwasher-safe parts

Cons

  • Takes a while to pre-heat, say reviewers

A large air fryer that still manages to save space on your counter, Nutricook’s Air Fryer Slim XL is an excellent addition to any kitchen. Its 7.6-litre basket can easily fit two whole chickens or up to two kilograms of fries, making meal prep for families very easy. Choose from eight cooking functions: there are three main cooking programs – air fry, bake and reheat – along with five convenient pre-sets – fries, chicken, fish, steak and samosa. Reviewers like that the basket features a clear viewing window, since it allows them to monitor progress without removing the basket and losing hot air. Both the basket and cooking tray are dishwasher-safe, so clean-up is a breeze!

Warranty: The manufacturer provides two-year limited warranty. Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh18, and a two-year extended warranty for Dh25.

11. Best Coffee Maker Deal: Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio S Plus by De’Longhi

12. Best Large Appliance Deal: Electrolux 634L Premium Refrigerator

Pros

  • Minimalistic design
  • Spacious interiors
  • Precise temperature control
  • Good energy rating

Cons

  • Not fingerprint resistant

Its beautiful, streamlined look will draw you in, but Electrolux’s advanced features will keep you interested in this mid-range, quad-door fridge. The 634-litre appliance’s invertor compressor offers four-star Energy Star ratings, even as it enhances the fridge’s performance, durability and longevity. The fridge takes steps to be as hygienic as possible: a TasteGuard Ioniser releases negative ions into the air, eliminating up to 99.9 per cent of bacteria, and offering a safe space for food storage. Speaking of which, there’s plenty of room in this appliance, with adjustable shelving and sealed crispers that use TasteLockAuto technology to remove excess moisture and keep produce fresh for longer. You can customise the temperature in certain sections, with TasteSealPlus – for instance, select 3°C for cheese and deli meats, and 0°C for icy cold drinks. To avoid defrosting, you can store meats at -2°C until you’re ready to cook later in the day. Reviewers say they can pack more than a week’s worth of groceries in this spacious fridge, but some complain the glossy finish of the doors attracts fingerprints.

Bonus: Buy with 0% installments and pay Dh299.92 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh227 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh323.

13. Best Shoe Deal: Crocs Bistro  Unisex Adult Clog

  • Roomy toe box
  • Keep feet from aching and tiring out
  • Easy to clean
  • Lightweight

Cons

  • Can look bulky
  • Run big

If you're on your feet more often than not at work, then you're probably in search of supportive footwear. The Crocs Bistro Pro LiteRide were designed with hospitality and healthcare workers in mind. They wear light, have a slip-resistant tread, protect the toes and give your feet the care they deserve. Reviewers mention that their feet don't hurt in these work shoes, but do note that they're not breathable enough. But, you can expect to break into the pair from day one and have the ergonomic footbed massage you with every step.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh25 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh32.

14. Best Skincare Deal: EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen (SPF 46)

EltaMD’s bestselling sunscreen is on sale, so it’s time to stock up! This tinted sunscreen, formulated especially for skin types prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation, has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 46, so it’s perfect to wear under make-up or on its own. The sunscreen doesn’t just protect your skin from ultraviolet-A and ultraviolet-B rays with transparent zinc oxide, it also helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and discolouration, thanks to niacinamide. The formula also sees the addition of vitamin E, which neutralises free radical damage to help reduce the signs of ageing, as well as iron oxide, which helps block blue light and even out the skin tone.

15. Best Perfume Deal: Hugo Boss Bottled Parfum

Launched in 2022, Hugo Boss’ Bottled Parfum is a great gift choice for men in your life. This leathery fragrance uses top notes of olibanum and mandarin orange, and middle notes of fig tree and orris to combine with base notes of cedar and leather, creating an overall masculine and woody-amber fragrance.
