Best New Zealand EOFY tech deals: save up to NZ$900 on phones, laptops and air fryers

There are plenty of other Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals, but this one from PBTech stood out to me as the retailer is not only offering the free storage upgrade from 256GB to 512GB, but it’s also throwing in a Samsung 3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Dock, a 4-pack of Galaxy SmartTag2 trackers, and a magnetic case from Spigen. Not too keen on those accessories? There’s another deal where you get an NZ$280 gift card instead. You can also check out PBTech's other Galaxy S26 offers here.

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.

HP is discounting a slew of laptops and peripherals for its EOFY sale in New Zealand, and this 14-inch OmniBook 3 caught my eye not only due to the 36% off discount, but also for its hardware. For NZ$1,599, getting a Ryzen 7-powered laptop with 16GB of DDR5 RAM is a steal given the current RAM shortage. It’s a great Windows 11 laptop that would suit any student or remote/hybrid office worker.

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.

While ice cream is usually synonymous with summer and hot weather, I personally find it’s still an enjoyable treat all-year round, so this deal for Ninja’s Creami ice cream maker should be right up your alley if you’re just like me. Our review found it makes creamy and smooth frozen desserts, and also does dairy-free ice cream well. At full price it is tricky to outright recommend, but this deal should make it a bit more tempting.

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 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.

Dyson may be known for its stick vacuums these days, but the Dyson Big Ball Absolute is a great workhorse corded vac providing consistent power, making it a fantastic choice for those who have carpets all around their homes. This deal doesn’t quite make this the cheapest Dyson vacuum right now, but if you value a vacuum that never needs recharging, this one might be for you.

There may be an ongoing shortage of RAM, storage and other PC components, but monitors and displays still remain a good value upgrade for any PC setup these days. This IPS monitor from HP has a 165Hz refresh rate and 300 nits brightness. While this is only 1080p resolution, this price makes it cheap enough to purchase a few of them to form a multi-monitor setup.

If you’re looking to step up your cooking repertoire, this food processor from Ninja has a powerful 1,000W motor that can easily mix dough, slice food, puree soups and more. It's also a compact gadget, yet is supplied with a large 2L jug for extra capacity. This discount makes this food processor a great option for uni students on a tight budget.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you’re considering making smoothies and drinks on the go, Ninja has upgraded its popular Blast personal blender by adding in a more powerful motor and a tougher blade unit. Our reviewer found it was able to blitz even difficult, fibrous ingredients like kale into silky smoothies with just a single blending cycle. The upgraded parts have made the Blast Max a little pricier, but this discount brings it to the same price of the regular Ninja Blast.

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.

Perfect for the Waitangi Day festivities, this portable speaker from Bose is small enough to stuff in some pockets and won’t take up too much room in your bag. If you have other Bose speakers, this can be linked as the other half of a stereo pair, or used in Bose’s Party Mode functionality to play the same music on multiple speakers. This deal direct from Bose NZ is the lowest so far across the country.

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 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.

If you’ve been curious about Samsung’s smartwatches to pair with your Galaxy handset but don’t want to spend loads, this previous-generation Watch7 might be for you. The watch is zippy and feature-filled, while also looking like a traditional watch thanks to its sleek, circular design with no visible bezels. With the Watch8 still at around NZ$600, this deal is hard to pass up.

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$168, it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

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.

It's got a cult-like following and two members of our own staff are massive fans. If you love your chilled desserts – ice creams, gelatos, smoothies – but want to control your calorie intake, you really should consider getting the Ninja Creami. This Deluxe edition gets you three containers, which is great value at this price.

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.

This might be an entry-level camera but it has some advanced features. Anyone who wants to shoot wildlife or sports will be thrilled with the 40fps burst speed, and it inherits some of the tracking precision from Canon's higher-end cameras too. With a 24.2MP full-frame sensor, it's one of the lightest cameras available today and represents excellent value for a beginner.

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.

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.

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.
