Best New Zealand tech deals: Save up to NZ$725 on TVs, vacuums and tablets

The LG C5 is our most recommended TV for most people thanks to its excellent picture quality and premium features. While close to NZ$3,000 is hardly a cheap purchase, the LG C5 provides TV tech that is more commonly found in significantly more expensive TVs. It shines especially in gaming with a 144Hz refresh rate and support for FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync.

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 entry-level, no-frills Android tablet from Samsung is great for media consumption and basic computing tasks that can be a solid Mother's Day gift or an affordable toy for schoolkids that are still on holiday. This already cheap tablet getting a further discount is an easy pick.

Apple's latest noise-cancelling buds represent a significant upgrade from the AirPods Pro 2, but at full price they’re significantly more expensive. This discount takes care of that nicely (although if you're a Pro 2 user it's not worth the upgrade). New features in this model include a heart-rate monitor and even better ANC than before. I personally also think they're the best-fitting AirPods Apple has made to date.

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 KING26 at checkout to get this price.

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.

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.

If you're finding that your work laptop's webcam just isn't cutting it anymore when you dial in for a virtual meeting, then you might consider investing in a dedicated camera like the Logitech MX Brio. It has exceptional 4K video quality, AI-powered image enhancement, a built-in privacy shutter and noise reduction for the microphone. This discount still admittedly makes this a pricey upgrade for some, but it's still a much cheaper purchase than a new laptop.

This security camera features 2K resolution, good night vision, an IP67 rating and best of all, it supports local storage so you won't need to pay an extra subscription. This is also one of the few security cameras that supports Apple HomeKit. This discount makes this 2-pack an even better deal considering that the eufycam 2C Pro doesn't require ongoing costs.

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.

This air fryer is perfect for those who love to cook for a crowd, thanks to its massive 9.5L capacity. The two trays will also let you cook two foods at once. This 40% discount is worth considering for a mum (or otherwise) who loves to cook a lot in one go.

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.

Can't wait for the official HBO Max launch in NZ this year to watch the new Harry Potter TV series? Perhaps this discounted Hogwarts Lego set would tide you over in the meantime. This 6,020-piece set will keep you busy enough until the HBO Max launch, and it looks great in person, too.

This OLED gaming monitor from HP has 4K resolution and a 240hz refresh rate, making it perfect for competitive multiplayer as well as for creative tasks like editing videos and graphic design. While NZ$2,000 is a lot for a monitor, the true blacks from the QD-OLED technology is well worth the investment.

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.

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.

Scoring NZ$500 off Dyson's powerful cordless vac is a great deal in my opinion. And since this is the Complete model, you get a plethora of attachments catering to all your cleaning needs. The standout has to be the Fluffy Optic cleaning head that illuminates invisible dust on hard floors to ensure you can capture every last mote, while a number of crevice tools help to reach those tricky areas.

This large screen 2-in-1 laptop from HP uses a latest-generation Intel Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226V CPU for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch touchscreen OLED display has a 3K (2880 x 1800) resolution, great for media consumption and for creative work. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The OLED display makes this 36% discount a lot more tempting, especially if you’re upgrading from an older laptop.

This video doorbell from Amazon subsidiary Ring is the company's entry-level offering that still offers features like head-to-toe HD video and colour night vision. This does require a paid subscription to unlock some features, but this discount should partly address some of that concern.

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’re cooking for a crowd a lot and your current air fryer struggles to feed many mouths, the 10.4L Ninja XXXL FlexDrawer Air Fryer might just be for you. While the large capacity also means it’ll take up more counter space, our review found the FlexDrawer easy to use and has constantly produced great cooking results. Paying more than NZ$500 for an air fryer may be a big ask for many households, but this deal makes the FlexDrawer hard to pass up for those who like to cook for a crowd.

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.

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.

Kindles are known for their reading capabilities, but with the Kindle Scribe, you get that and more. With a wide range of writing features, you can take notes, create sketches and brainstorm. We loved its 10.2-inch glare-free screen that has its own ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness automatically, as well as its battery life.

These are some of the best budget earbuds (even at their original price) you can get today, delivering punchy, detailed sound complete with support for 360 Reality Audio spatial audio. They do miss out on ANC, but otherwise they're a fantastic set of earbuds that prove you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for great sound. Make sure to apply the NZ$16.47 coupon for the full saving.

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.

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.

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.

Want to make your home movies more immersive? This Govee backlight and camera system effectively extends the on-screen image beyond its bezelled confines and accurately tracks colours and flashes to the wall behind. It can also sync with music to dance along to your favourite tunes. Note that this is designed for 55 to 65-inch TVs.
