Best New Zealand tech deals: Save up to NZ$1,157 on laptops, vacuums and headphones

The Dyson Zone combines headphones and air-purifying tech into one device. It also has noise-cancelling, although I'd be remiss to say that it competes with the best that Sony and Bose has to offer. For more than 82% off, maybe it's worth a punt if you're at the very least a Dyson fan.

This stick vacuum from Dyson introduced the company’s laser light feature to help illuminate dirt on floors, helping users measure how much was cleaned. Along with very powerful suction and benefitting from a well-designed and high quality build, this premium vacuum is a steal thanks to this discount.

This is Ninja’s first go at making a coffee machine, proving to be a hit among Ninja fans and professional reviewers alike. The Luxe Café Premier is a 3-in-1 machine that brews quality espresso, drip coffee, and fast cold brew using its Barista Assist technology, an integrated grinder, and weight-based dosing. This discount for a well-received espresso machine should make this even more tempting for any coffee lover looking to upgrade their home barista setup.

This large screen 2-in-1 laptop from HP uses a latest-generation Intel Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226 CPU for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch touchscreen IPS display has a 1920 x 1200 resolution, and there’s a whopping 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage plus the latest features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a facial recognition webcam. This 35% discount for a powerful Windows laptop is worth snapping up before RAM and storage shortages start to impact prices on devices like these soon.

This classic stick vacuum from Dyson is the company’s most affordable model and this discount makes it even more tempting for anyone looking to upgrade to a modern stick vacuum. While this doesn’t have the latest and greatest tech, it’ll still do the basics quite adequately. With up to 40 minutes of fade free suction, it can easily clean hard floors, carpets and more. It can also be used as a compact handheld vacuum, making it easy to access hard to reach spaces.

ThinkPad laptops may be known as a favourite among corporate fleets for decades now, but it doesn't mean consumers should shun this workhorse. These PCs are no-nonsense machines known for their reliability and repairability, even developing a cult following online. This discount for a Ryzen 5-equipped laptop with 16GB of DDR5 RAM makes this hard to pass up.

Our most recommended air fryer for most people is a cool NZ$200 off direct from Ninja, making the DoubleStack XXXL hard to pass up if you’re looking to pick up a model that can feed a plethora of mouths. An innovative design makes this 9.5L air fryer to fit into smaller spaces better than others with the same capacity, and our testing has found that its more compact size hasn’t affected the quality of cooking in any meaningful way.

The name points to its extremely compact form factor that packs everything inside the handle – a tube that measures just 3.8cm in diameter, roughly the same size as a ping pong ball. It might sacrifice some suction power, so it’s not suited for cleaning carpets, but it is very nimble and manoeuvrable when used on hard floors. A discount like this for a newly released and innovative Dyson vacuum is tempting for those with smaller spaces with hard floors.

This massive discount on what is still a fantastic robot vacuum is exclusively for Prime members, and one that's worth considering if you need a new robovac. This one works nicely indeed, as evidenced by our 4.5-star score for the Dreame L40 Ultra review. It vacuums, mops, then cleans itself, with minimal need for human intervention.

This is the robovac I would consider buying if I didn't already have a high-end Dreame machine that's been cleaning my home like... a dream. This Roborock is slimlined to crawl under furniture (no navigation puck here), and can raise not just its mop pads, but its side brush to avoid scattering and excessive tangling. Its headline act, however, has to be its cleaning prowess — our Roborock Saros 10R review didn't score 4.5 stars for nothing!

This Garmin watch has a rugged exterior that's thermal and shock resistant, as well as water-rated to 100m, making it the perfect watch for bushwalkers and hikers. This version has solar power to help make the already long battery life go even further. This discount makes this great watch a tempting buy for hikers and trail runners alike.

This QD-OLED TV from Samsung earned five stars from our reviewer, thanks to its outstanding picture quality, gaming features and connectivity. We found that the Samsung S90F packs a punch relative to its price, and this discount makes the TV a lot more tempting. Use PBDEAL at checkout to get this price.

As far as gaming chairs go, we found Secretlab's Titan Evo to be one of the most comfortable, thanks to its excellent ergonomics, build quality and choice of high-quality finishes. The brand is discounting its themed chairs like the Overwatch one linked here, making them slightly cheaper than the main-line Titan Evo models.

This 1080p monitor boasts a 180Hz refresh rate, making it great for gaming, and it's also cheap enough for a multi-monitor setup if that's more your jam. This discount makes it even more affordable for those looking to upgrade or add to their setups.

Samsung's new budget Galaxy A57 is a mid-range handset that closely resembles a flagship and improves upon its predecessor both on the inside and outside. This discount is a welcome one for a product that just released, and could be tempting for someone who's on the fence. Use the code WINTER26 at checkout to get this price.

This hair dryer from Shark is not only fast-drying and compact, but it also helps reduce frizz and the temperature auto-adjusts depending on the attachment used. Our biggest gripe was its price, but this 43% discount takes care of that handily.

Dyson's V10 stick vacuum got a refresh last month, adding the new conical floorhead and making it compatible with the company's self-emptying dock. A discount like this for a brand-new Dyson is an easy Mother's Day win.

This gaming laptop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU and a whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM. At a time of RAM and storage shortages, a discount for a laptop with these specs is hard to overlook.

Yes, New Zealand generally has great air quality, but dust, pet dander, smoke and other irritants are still going to impact households anywhere. This air purifier from Shark has a HEPA filter that can last 5 years before needing a replacement, and can also cover up to 23 square metres. This discount would make this an easy recommendation for most households.

If you're in the market for new AirPods but don't want the in-ear design of the AirPods Pros (or if you're on a budget), PBTech has the 4th generation Apple earbuds on sale. They're great sounding, secure and comfortable to wear even without the eartips. The ANC version is also discounted at NZ$294.

We named this sit/stand desk as one of our most recommended thanks to its built-in power and cable management. The major downside from our review was the price, so this discount should address that concern somewhat if you're looking to upgrade your gaming or WFH setup.

Our vacuum expert here at TechRadar found Dyson’s first go at a wet-and-dry vacuum a streamlined, easy-to-use and effective cleaner in the WashG1’s review, but she also said it was overpriced. This deal takes care of that, and should be tempting enough for anyone that has hard flooring in their living spaces. And, given we’ve also claimed the WashG1 to be better than the newer Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene, it makes for an even more compelling buy.

If you have a previous-generation iPad and you want to unlock more of its capabilities, then this 2nd generation Apple Pencil should turn your media consumption and gaming tablet into a productivity machine. Just be sure to double check your iPad is compatible — a full list is on the retailer's website — as it doesn't work with every model.

This no-nonsense 17-inch laptop bears a powerful Intel Core 7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage that will provide you with all the productivity you need for work or study. While the 17-inch display is 1080p, it has an anti-glare coating to allow you to use it comfortably outdoors. This discount makes this a great purchase for any discerning uni student or freelancer looking to get tasks done with no frills.

If the HP laptop above is still quite out of your price range or if the specs are too overkill, then this ThinkPad all-rounder for less than half the price might be for you. With an Intel Core 5 processor and 16GB of RAM, this laptop is powerful enough for work and study, all wrapped in the iconic matte black ThinkPad look. With RAM and storage prices set to go up in 2026, this 39% discount makes it a deal that’s hard to resist.

This 2-in-1 MagSafe-compatible charger from Ugreen allows you to simultaneously charge your iPhone (from 12 series and up) and your AirPods (or other earbuds and accessories that support wireless charging). The phone charger is rated at 7.5W and the bottom charger is at 5W, but Ugreen says using a charging adapter of at least 25W (sold separately) would further maximise charging efficiency. For any discerning Apple fan, this deal makes this charger hard to pass up.

When these first came out in 2023, Soundcore positioned them as a much cheaper competitor to the premium noise-cancelling headphones from Sony and Bose. I did own a pair and I’d say the company’s claims check out – the ANC was great for the price, but the lengthy battery life was arguably its best feature. TechRadar’s review noted that it feels a bit cheap, but for NZ$158, it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

The Dreame Hair Gleame hair dryer is an affordable alternative to premium options from bigger brands, retaining a similar aesthetic to some that have a cult-like following. Performance-wise it’s no slouch with its motor spinning at 110,000 RPM for fast airflow and quick drying. It also has built-in ion technology, which results in smooth, shiny hair. The slim and lightweight build also makes it easy to use and comfortable to hold.

If you’re a frequent traveller or if you’re just looking to have a single charging brick for all your smaller tech, this three-port 65W charger from Ugreen delivers fast charging even with all three slots taken. Our reviewer wasn’t a fan of its looks and the fact that the prongs aren’t foldable (a limitation of using GaN technology), but for this price, I’m sure those are minor enough to overcome for most of you.

Why settle for a single vacuum cleaner or separate machines when you can have multiple cleaners in one? The Floor One Switch S6 is a stick vac, hard floor mop, and a handheld vacuum with attachments for upholstery and an extending pole to reach your ceilings. The motor can be switched out and used with each attachment with ease, and it even washes and dries the mopping head by itself.

The Shokz OpenRun are some of the best bone conduction sports headphones you can buy. They deliver great sound quality and a slim design, with improved an improved eight hour battery life. If you want to run and remain aware of your surroundings, these are what you want. Hurry – stock is limited.

These affordable earbuds with ANC are brimming with features, including a range of ANC modes, EQ presets and other audio adjustments. They sound good (but you'll want to tweak it from the default) and they'll last up to 7.5 hours with ANC on before they need a recharge. Check out our Earfun Air Pro 4 review for more info and take advantage of this offer.

The Charge 6 is the latest in a successful series of powerful, portable speakers that have a nifty trick up their sleeve. Not only can the Charge 6 last up to 28 hours on a single charge, but it can also be used as a power bank to top up your devices via its USB-C port. Sound quality is energetic and detailed in equal measure, and it’s built to withstand virtually anything you wish to throw at it.

Our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? said this turntable from JBL is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can bypass it if you wish), or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. If you're looking for a turntable upgrade, or a solid starting point to enter the world of vinyl, this JBL spinner is an excellent choice.

This ergonomic vertical mouse is perfect for small hands and it encourages better posture, thus reducing aches along the wrist, shoulder and shoulder blade. I use it myself (I have the white colourway) and can't recommend it highly enough, even at full price.

It's been cheaper than this before, but this is still a fantastic saving on an excellent Nikon full-framer. The 24.6MP sensor can shoot at up to 120fps, records 6K video, has built-in image stabilisation and has dual card slots, including one for a CFexpress device to make full use of its speed.

By now you probably already own GTA 5, and given it's sold over 200 million copies you're in good company. But just in case, you can grab it for PS5 or Xbox for one of the cheapest prices we have seen. If you've somehow never heard of GTA 5 at all, then rest assured there are plenty of good reasons why people are still buying it today.

Bright, easy to use and even more easily expanded, the Philips Hue lightstrip is the go-to LED light strip for a reason. Pairing it with the Hue Bridge unlocks its true power, and it's a clean way to add accent lighting to any surface, with a range of brightness and colour options to choose from.

There is excellent value for money here as this one tool will take care of hair anywhere on the body. It comes with 15 attachments and offers 26 hair length settings. Its battery life also promises to be just as good – up to 4 weeks on a single charge. It also happens to be waterproof.
