Best deals in the John Lewis sale

'Never knowingly undersold on quality, service and price' is the John Lewis promise and John Lewis promises to check and match the prices of 25 leading retailers even when they are running offers. John Lewis says this means you can be confident that you are paying a competitive price - but it does not lead the charge towards the lowest possible prices in the same way that online retailers do.

Even so there are some good deals to be found, which we've drawn together so you don't have to trawl the John Lewis shelves to find the best bargains. 

Need to know

What makes Which? deals different?

Retailers sometimes use misleading ‘was’ and ‘before’ prices to claim their deals are good. Media sites and artificial intelligence (AI) promote deals from retailers – but do they always check them first? We don’t just take retailers’ word for it, we track actual market prices over six months. We share cheapest and average calculations and evaluate products against strict performance benchmarks. So you get good quality at honest prices.

*References to ‘average price' and 'cheapest price' are based on Which? market knowledge and information supplied by our partners. Prices are checked for the six calendar months prior to publication. Not all retailers are included in our checks. We have highlighted John Lewis as the 'Featured' retailer where possible, however, offers may be cheaper at other retailers in the pricing tool.

Best TV deals at John Lewis

LG 43QNED82A6B

Average price in the past six months: £502
Cheapest price in the past six months: £399*

LG 43QNED82A6B television
  • 43-inch 4K TV
  • QLED display
  • Supports HDR10 and HLG formats

We like: Simple to use

We don't like: Poor motion handling at SD

The 43-inch 43QNED82A6B is the smallest and cheapest of LG’s QNED range. QNED is unique to LG, but it basically means it has quantum dots to boost colour.

It’s more basic than other QNED TVs, which keeps costs low, but still has a few features you don't always find on TVs in this price range: support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, recording and pausing live TV with the built-in PVR, a microphone in the remote that enables you to control some parts of the TV with your voice.

Should you opt for this discounted 43-inch model? Discover all you need to know in our LG 43QNED82A6B review.

Samsung QE43QN90F

Average price in the past six months: £953
Cheapest price in the past six months: £699*

Samsung QE43QN90F television

  • 43-inch 4K TV
  • Neo QLED display
  • Supports HDR10, HLG and HDR10+ formats

We like: Intuitive operating system 

We don't like: Fiddly remote

The QE43QN90F is a Neo QLED TV with a backlight stuffed with miniscule bulbs to improve contrast and push brightness.

Samsung has given it the high-end treatment, too, so there are nice extras for gamers such as the 165Hz screen, FreeSync and variable refresh rate tech, all for a cheaper price than an OLED from LG or Samsung.

Samsung’s Tizen operating system is as slick as ever, but the remote could do with more buttons.

Check out the full Samsung QE43QN90F review to see how this one scored in our tests.

LG OLED65C54LA

Average price in the past six months: £1,961
Cheapest price in the past six months: £1,279*

LG OLED65C54LA television
  • 65-inch 4K TV
  • OLED display
  • Supports HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision formats

We like: Excellent HDR use

We don't like: Smart menu could be more customisable

If your budget stretches into the thousands then there’s no shortage of high-end TVs for you to choose from and it was manufacturer LG that first popularised OLED technology utilised by the OLED65C54LA.

It’s packed with gaming features, most notably the 120Hz screen to really make the most of what modern consoles can do. This, as well as FreeSync and VRR (variable refresh rate) will help games play and look smoother. And Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are both built-in, so you’ll easily be able to stream content from your phone to your TV.

Read our LG OLED65C54LA review to see if this big-screen OLED is right for you.

Best tablet deals at John Lewis

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+

Cheapest price in the past six months: £629*

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+
  • 12.4-inch screen
  • 12GB Ram
  • 256GB storage

We like: Luxurious feel

We don't like: Less portable than most

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ tablet was released as part of the brand’s 2024 flagship series and comes with an upgraded processor from the previous generation, built-in AI features and claims of superfast charging.

The S10+ has a 12.4-inch AMOLED X2 screen with a 1,752 x 2,800-pixel resolution. Speakers sit on both sides of the tablet, along with a couple of discreet buttons.

It comes with Samsung’s stylus, the S Pen, which you can use to navigate the screen or for writing notes and drawing. This is charged by magnetically connecting it to the back of the device, where it sits in a dedicated indentation.

Best laptop deals at John Lewis

Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”) (83MY0005UK)

Average price in the past six months: £566
Cheapest price in the past six months: £399*

Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”) (83MY0005UK)

Buy it for £399 at John Lewis or compare prices at other retailers: 

  • MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor
  • 12GB Ram
  • 128GB SSD storage

We like: Lightweight

We don't like: Flimsy build quality

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”) (83MY0005UK) is more affordably priced than most Windows laptops with similar specs, which makes it an enticing 14-inch option for anybody whose online life exists mainly in the cloud and revolves around the Google Suite ecosystem. 

 It features an octa-core MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor, 12GB of Ram and a 128GB storage drive, 99.2GB of which is free for personal storage. It also has a powerful dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) that powers the Google Gemini AI tool. That means it can perform certain types of AI-enhanced tasks – such as generating images or helping you write text – without needing another online AI service.

See our full Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" review to find out if it will suit your needs.

Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro M5

Average price in the past six months£1,490
Cheapest price in the past six months£1,249*

Apple 14‑inch MacBook Pro M5
  • Apple M5 processor
  • 16GB Ram 
  • 512GB storage

We like: Lightning-fast processor

We don’t like: No full-sized USB ports or face scanner

This 14-inch Apple laptop was released in October 2025 and is aimed at professionals, as its name implies. Do be aware that the MacBook Pros got the steepest hike in the Apple price rises announced in late June 2026, so if you want to spend less, consider whether the MacBook Air or even the much more affordable Neo is a better fit for your needs.

This Pro weighs 1.54kg, which is heavy for a 14-inch laptop. But it's due in part to its premium all-aluminium body and glass screen. 

There are three USB-C ports (super-high-speed Thunderbolt 4 data-transfer format), an HDMI port, a micro-SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. It also has a MagSafe 3 charging port and a fingerprint reader for swift, secure login. Plus, you get that powerful Apple M5 processor.

To find out whether this laptop is worth your money, see our expert Apple MacBook Pro M5 review.

We like: Good to use on stairs and high places

We don't like: Filter is fiddly to remove and clean

If you’re looking for a versatile vacuum cleaner, the Shark PowerDetect IP1223UKTDB could be just what you’re after. It has a hinged stick to reach under furniture and removable motor unit that can be used as a handheld cleaner.

  • Dual cooking zones
  • 35 x 45 x 38cm (H x W x D)

We like: It feels well-built

The Philips 5000 Series NA555/09 is a versatile air fryer that aims to boost your cooking with steam-boosted features. There are multiple presents and its design includes two separate drawers – with claimed 3-litre and 6-litre capacities. We measured this gives you a 1.4kg capacity to work with.

This air fryer can steam food, too, but this isn’t something we test.

  • 16-place setting capacity
  • Seven programs

We like: Huge capacity

We don’t like: Filter may be tricky to dismantle

The Hisense HV643D90UK is a fully integrated dishwasher, so it’s designed to sit behind a cabinet door and blend into your kitchen units. That also means getting the measurements right is essential before buying.

It's roomy and offers a decent selection of wash programmes, including a sensor-controlled auto wash, eco, hygiene, intensive, and glass programs. There’s also a self-clean setting to keep the interior free from debris and odours, a one-hour program and a speed function to reduce the length of the standard programs if you’re in a hurry.

Best washing machine deals at John Lewis

LG F4Y510WBLN1

Cheapest price in the past six months: £369*

LG F4Y510WBLN1 washing machine
  • Freestanding
  • 10kg cottons capacity
  • White

We like: Excellent spin

We don't like: Some ease of use niggles

The LG F4Y510WBLN1 is a freestanding white washing machine with a larger 10kg capacity and 1,400rpm maximum spin speed.

There are 12 programs to choose from, plus a steam function that can be used to reduce allergens. Additionally, it uses sensors to weigh the load and adjust washing times accordingly, potentially saving water and energy. You can also add items to the wash while the program is running.

You can delay the wash end time for up to 19 hours, and the digital display shows how much wash time is left. You can also lock the control panel to stop your settings being accidentally changed by knocks or inquisitive little fingers.

Will you have to make compromises with such a good value machine? Our LG F4Y510WBLN1 review reveals all.

 Best smartphone deals at John Lewis

Google Pixel 10a

Average price in the past six months: £515
Cheapest price in the past six months: £379*

Google pixel 10a phone
  • 6.3-inch display with 2,424 x 1,080 resolution
  • Google Tensor G4 processor with 8GB of Ram
  • Two rear camera lenses, no telephoto

We like: Simple software

We don’t like: Battery isn't huge

The Pixel 10a is pitched as a cut-down version of Google’s flagship phone and has a slower G4 processor and less Ram, with a choice of 128 or 256GB.

The rear camera system combines a 48Mp main camera with a 13Mp ultra-wide, but drops the 10.8Mp telephoto found on the standard Pixel 10. There’s also a 13-megapixel selfie camera on the front. Wireless features include wi-fi up to Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth and NFC for contactless payments. 

Wired charging and data connections are handled via USB-C, but there is no 3.5mm headphone jack or micro SD card slot.

Read our in-depth Google Pixel 10a review to see if Google cut corners with this pared-down version.

  • 165°C-210°C min/max temperature

We like: Comes with various accessories

We don't like: Heavy

Dyson says that its cordless Corrale hair straighteners benefit from 'enhanced styling and cordless versatility'. They certainly look the part, and come with a heat-resistant travel pouch, Travel Dock charging station and magnetic charging cable.

There are three temperature settings to choose from to suit your style. Just note that these straighteners are heavier than a lot of other options on the market.

Are these straighteners the best option for your hair? Our Dyson Corrale Cord-Free review reveals all you need to know to buy with confidence.
