Buy now or wait? Leaning wait. For Cyber Monday 2024 the Classic Pro was reported at $423.99 at Amazon against $549. We found no comparable Black Friday 2025 report, so this rests on one older data point. Source: TechRadar, Dec 2, 2024.

Buy now or wait? Leaning wait. Last year the Bambino was reported at $249.95 against a $299.95 list price over the Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend. If that pattern repeats, waiting for Nov 27 to 30 may save money, but there is no promise it will. Source: USA Today, Nov 30, 2025.
