1. Best Laptop Deal: Microsoft Surface Pro 9 

Pros

  • Lightweight at just 879g
  • Two-in-one form factor
  • Excellent processing power
  • Up to 15.5 hours of battery life

Cons

  • Keyboard and stylus are sold separately

A hybrid laptop that’s as versatile as it gets, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 combines laptop-level performance with the flexibility and convenience of a tablet. Running on a powerful Intel Evo Core i5 12th Generation chip, with a speedy Windows 11 operating system, the laptop sports a 13-inch touchscreen. Its built-in adjustable kickstand comes in handy when you’re typing on the Surface Pro Keyboard – but do note that it’s an additional purchase, along with the Slim Pen 2 for drawing, writing notes and editing with precision. Despite its slim, ultra-thin design, the device has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, giving you the option of connecting it to an external monitor. Reviewers rave about its long battery life, and say it’s perfect for travel and on-the-go productivity tasks.

Bonus: Buy with 0% instalments and pay Dh274.92 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty. Amazon offers a one-year accidental damage protection by Salama Care for Dh199, a one-year extended warranty for Dh332, and a two-year damage protection plus one-year extended warranty for 424.

2. Best Air Fryer Deal: Philips Essential Air Fryer 

Pros

  • Visual guide for ideal temperature and time
  • Multifunctional appliance
  • Easy to clean
  • NutriU app offers a wide variety of recipes

Cons

  • Manual operation, without pre-sets

An air fryer will serve you will this Ramadan, replacing greasy, fried food with more nutritional substitutions. Philips makes sure there’s a wealth of recipes available to you via its user-friendly NutriU app, so all you’re missing is its 4.1-litre Essential Air Fryer. Besides frying, baking, grilling and roasting, you have the option to reheat leftovers in this unit. Though there’s no digital display, you can control the time and temperature up to 200 degrees Celsius, by tweaking two knobs on the front. An easy guide is drawn on top of the unit with food icons, cooking times and temperatures for fish, chicken, baking and more, to help you get the fryer going with just a glance. Reviewers report having fried fish, fries, chicken and potatoes, and baked cakes with delicious outcomes.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh18, and a two-year extended warranty for 25.

3. Best Headphones Deal: Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones 

Pros

  • 30-hour battery life and fast charging
  • HD noise-cancelling processor with eight mics
  • Music stops when user speaks or takes off the headphones
  • Noise cancellation is optimised based on environmental factors
  • Voice assistant-compatible

Cons

  • ANC is not adjustable manually

Sony’s popular WH-1000XM5 headphones have garnered social media hype for the best reasons – it's incredibly sleek, cushioned, and has a long battery life of 30 hours. Its eight mics work together with Sony's Auto Noise Cancellation (ANC) Optimiser to adjust cancellation levels based on atmospheric pressure and wearing conditions. Its QN1 processor even promises to capture some high-frequency sounds. If you start up a conversation with someone next to you, the Speak-to-Chat function automatically pauses any audio to filter in the outside world. This versatile pair works with voice assistants, charges via a USB-C cable, and keeps in its own travel case. Instead of a manually adjustable ANC feature, however, listeners get to turn on the ambient mode.

Bonus: Buy with 0% instalments and pay Dh99.44 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty. Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh69, and a two-year extended warranty for 97.

4. Best Television Deal: Samsung Crystal UHD 4K CU7000 TV (2023) 

Pros

  • Minimalistic design
  • Bright, beautiful screen
  • Upscales content to 4K
  • Smooth action scenes

Cons

  • Limited features

For the price of a budget smartphone, you’re getting one of Samsung’s best 4K televisions from 2023 – the CU7000. With a slim, minimalistic profile, thanks to a three-side bezel design, the TV uses PurColour technology to express a wide range of colours and create an immersive viewing experience. Samsung’s Crystal Processor upscales content – even older videos – to 4K resolution, while its High Dynamic Range increases light levels in the TV, enhancing its visual details. Reviewers are happy with the display, saying its 120fps frame rate allowing them to not just watch movies, but also stream sports and game seamlessly. With the more affordable price tag, however, you’ll have to forego special features like Dolby Atmos and Vision, and dual audio output.

Bonus: Buy with 0% instalments and pay Dh105.63 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh86, one-year accidental damage protection for Dh143, and two-year damage protection with one-year extended warranty for Dh182.

5. Best Home Appliance Deal: Black+Decker Portable Garment Steamer 

Pros

  • Compact and portable
  • Three steam levels to choose from
  • Detachable water tank
  • Anti-calc system

Cons

  • Water tank may leak after a period of use, say reviewers

Get rid of creases and wrinkles quickly and effectively this Ramadan and Eid, with Black+Decker’s portable steamer. This useful tool is over 30 per cent off right now. With 1,500 watts of power and 260ml water tank capacity, the garment steamer converts water to steam upon spraying, leaving clothes wrinkle-free, while simultaneously removing lint from the fabric’s surface. It has an anti-calc system as well, so you don’t have to worry about white streaks on your clothes. Choose from three steam levels and easily detach the water tank for refilling and cleaning. Reviewers say it’s ideal to take along on travels since it’s compact and portable, but some report issues with leakage.

Warranty: Amazon offers one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh12, and two-year extended warranty for Dh17.

6. Best Kitchen Essentials Deal: Finish Powerball Ultimate Dishwasher Detergent Tablets for Ultimate Clean & Shine 

The plates can pile up when you have a full house in Ramadan, so make sure you never run out of dishwasher tablets. This pack of six Finish Powerball Ultimate packs, in a bright and refreshing lemon scent, adds up to 192 pods that you can slip into your dishwasher for effective cleaning. The tablets have three fast-dissolving chambers - gel, powder and liquid - to deliver satisfactory results, even when you’re running the dishwasher in an eco-cycle. The powder acts on tough, dried-on food stains, too, and cuts through grease easily.

7. Best Baby Essentials Deal: WaterWipes Mega Value Box (Pack of 12) 

If you have a baby or toddler at home, you’re likely going through several pouches of wipes every month. Now’s the perfect time to stock up on this baby essential. WaterWipes is currently offering a mega value box of 12 packs (equating to 720 wipes) at 27 per cent off. Safe for sensitive skin, these wipes are made from 99.9 per cent water and a drop of fruit extract. They’re mild and gentle for your baby’s delicate skin, and are 100 per cent biodegradable.

8. Best Gift Card Deal: Amazon Gift Card 

Looking for special gifts this Ramadan, but don’t know what to get? An Amazon gift card might be the solution. For a limited time and until stocks last, you can get up to seven per cent cashback on an Amazon gift card. Just make sure you purchase one with a minimum of Dh200, and enter the promo code ‘GCRMDN24’ at check-out.
