Amazon offers so many discounts that it can be hard to find the best deals. That's why we've done the work for you, finding the top Amazon sales of the week so you can easily add them to your cart.

The Amazon Mid-Year sale, which ran from Monday, June 2 to Sunday, June 8, is now officially over. Yet, more than a week on, EOFY sales have seen Amazon continue to offer some of the biggest discounts it offered. This includes big savings on Amazon tech like the Echo devices and Fire TV Sticks, some of the best earbuds, air fryers, top tablets and more.

And those deals aren't going to stop anytime soon, either. Amazon AU's biggest-ever Prime Day will officially begin on 8 July, running for a full seven days until its completion on Monday, July 14. If our past experience with this sale is any indication, we expect Prime Day 2025 to offer some of the best deals of the year.

While most Amazon sales are available to the general public, Prime Members earn the most savings – and Prime Day deals are members-only. Luckily, by signing up for a 30-day free trial right now, you will gain access to the best deals on offer during the seven-day Prime Day sale.

Subscribers also get free and expedited delivery on an array of eligible products, exclusive deals, early access to major sales, and included Amazon services such as Prime Video (one of the best streaming services), Prime Reading, and Prime Gaming. And, you can easily cancel at any time.

For a more in-depth look at what this subscription entails and whether it's worth it, refer to our guide on 'what is Amazon Prime in Australia'. Otherwise, explore the best Amazon deals available this week below.

Top Amazon deals of the week

PlayStation DualSense wireless controller
PlayStation DualSense wireless controller: was AU$124.95 now AU$82 at Amazon

Save AU$42.95

While you might be surprised at the RRP of a PlayStation controller due to price increases and inflation, this is an excellent price. The best part of this deal is that every colour is discounted – even the newest Chroma Teal, Chroma Indigo and Chroma Pearl. If you need a spare controller for charging, or to arm your partner for co-op games like Split Fiction, this is a great deal.

Instant Pot Vortex Plus 5.7L Air Fryer
Instant Pot Vortex Plus 5.7L Air Fryer: was AU$269 now AU$104 at Amazon

Save AU$165

This is a fantastic deal if you're looking for an affordable air fryer that won't take up too much space on your kitchen counter. It has a 5.7L basket that can feed two to three people, and it offers simple controls for one-touch air frying, baking or roasting.

Philips Hue Play LED bar light
Philips Hue Play LED bar light: was AU$239.95 now AU$129 at Amazon

Save AU$110.95

This bar light is frequently discounted on Amazon, but it has only been cheaper during New Year sales. In our Philips Hue Play Light Bar review, we called it "a fun and flexible addition to your home theatre setup", offering excellent colour reproduction, easy setup and simple integration with other Philips Hue Play devices.

Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro | AU$469 with AU$100 Amazon credit

Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro | AU$469 with AU$100 Amazon credit

This is a peculiar one, we must say. It's not technically a deal, in the sense there's no discount... but Amazon is offering customers AU$100 in credit to use on future purchases, so you're only really paying AU$369. Regardless, this is a fantastic price for a fantastic smartwatch that we awarded four stars in our Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro review. Yes, it looks like an Apple Watch, but it also acts like one, offering excellent battery life, accurate health tracking and a bright display. Plus, perhaps most importantly, it plays nicely with both iOS and Android devices.

Shark Cordless Detect Pro w/ auto-empty system
Shark Cordless Detect Pro w/ auto-empty system: was AU$999 now AU$574 at Amazon

Save AU$425

An excellent alternative to a Dyson, the Shark Detect Pro offers powerful suction that makes it great on both hard floors and carpets. It can easily convert into a handheld to tackle upholstery or the car and a built-in auto-empty system ensures you don't breathe in whatever you've vacuumed up too.

Ninja Creami ice cream maker
Ninja Creami ice cream maker: was AU$299 now AU$193.99 at Amazon

Save AU$105.01

This doesn't quite match the AU$188 price we saw during Boxing Day, but this is still an excellent EOFY deal. Beyond transforming frozen liquid into creamy treats, this versatile machine also makes smoothies (and smoothie bowls), sorbets, gelato, and more. It comes with three 470ml tubs, so you can start creating frozen delights immediately.

eBayPlus members can get the same machine for an all-time low AU$179 right now.

UGreen Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
UGreen Vertical Ergonomic Mouse: was AU$41.99 now AU$31.99 at Amazon

Save AU$10

We're currently testing this mouse for review However, we have been thoroughly impressed with the value it provides and wanted to highlight it – offering comfort even after hours of use, and it's much more affordable than the Logitech Lift.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (256GB)
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (256GB): was AU$2,149 now AU$1,697 at Amazon

Save AU$452

Now at its lowest price ever on Amazon, if you've been eyeing up the exceptionally powerful S25 Ultra, now is a great time to do so. It's easily one of the best phones in Australia, fitted with our favourite array of cameras and a gorgeous, massive screen. In our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review, we awarded the phone four and a half stars and gave it a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval.

Dyson V8 Absolute
Dyson V8 Absolute: was AU$799 now AU$383.99 at Amazon

Save AU$415.01

More than half off its RRP, this is one of the cheapest Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners to be had. Sure, it's an older model that will only get you up to 40 minutes of fade-free runtime, but it's an updated V8 motor that can clean most small spaces. Alongside the main Digital Motor, you'll also get the Hair Screw Tool and two other common attachments, making this the Absolute variant (not the base Origin model).

Blink Outdoor 4
Blink Outdoor 4: was AU$149 now AU$97 at Amazon

Save AU$52

New to the Australian market in late 2024, the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off of two AA batteries. It comes with an easy to use app and fairly good camera quality via a 1080p lens, and can store video when paired with a Blink Sync module. At this price, it's an attractive home camera that you can place almost anywhere around your home. While not the lowest price we have seen (it hit AU$75 during Black Friday), this 35% isn't bad.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (128GB / Wi-Fi)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (128GB / Wi-Fi): was AU$999 now AU$548 at Amazon

Save AU$451

This is one of Samsung's affordability-oriented performance tablets, existing between the company's budget Tab A family and powerful Tab S range. There's a newer model on sale, but given there isn't a big performance gap between the devices, this is likely the better value pick.

Need something with a little more power? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is down also to just AU$775.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: was AU$449.95 now AU$292.99 at Amazon

Save AU$156.96

The QC Ultra Earbuds are class leaders on the noise-cancelling front and sound wonderful too. They are nicely made and offer Immersive Audio support alongside Bluetooth Multipoint and a 24-hour battery in total. They've been as cheap as AU$290 before, but this is still a fantastic price for what are arguably one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear buds on the market today.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Black)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Black): was AU$649 now AU$392.99 at Amazon

Save AU$256.01

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a stunning set of headphones and comfortably the best when it comes to active noise-cancellation. Their sound quality is nothing short of exquisite, and the ability to turn any song into a spatial audio one thanks to Immersive Mode earns it another gold star.

LG (35WN75CN) 35-inch ultrawide curved monitor
LG (35WN75CN) 35-inch ultrawide curved monitor: was AU$699 now AU$399 at Amazon

Save AU$300

I don't need an all-powerful ultra-fast beast, I just want a large display that I can comfortably read and do some light gaming on. This 35-inch LG Ultrawide curved monitor from LG more than fits the bill, and this 43% discount brings it into my sweet spot. It features a QHD 3440x1440 resolution, promising 2.4x more screen space than a 16:9 HD monitor, making multi-tasking so much easier. It also offers easy USB-C connectivity for charging and displaying your laptop, with HDR 10 and built-in speakers that allow it to double as a screen for watching the best streaming services. Plus, its 100Hz refresh rate means it's more than good enough for gaming.

Looking to splash more cash before tax time? The 2025 34-inch Dell Alienware QD-OLED curved gaming monitor is down AU$375, boasting a snappy 240Hz refresh rate.

Lefant M1 robot vacuum and mop
Lefant M1 robot vacuum and mop: was AU$549.99 now AU$199.98 at Amazon

Save AU$350.01

Need assistance with household chores, but reluctant to spend AU$1,000 on a robot vacuum? Me too! And this discount means you don't have to. It might miss out on a spot in our guide to the best robot vacuums, but our international team praised this robovac for its compact design, integrated water tank and comprehensive, intuitive mobile app in our Lefant M1 review. Our reviewer noted that it's not perfect, but that's okay when it only costs AU$549.99 – and it's a bargain now that it's down 63%.

  PS5 Slim (disc model)
PS5 Slim (disc model): was AU$829.95 now AU$625 at Amazon

Save AU$204.95

Now that a PS5 costs well over AU$800 in Australia, discounts tend to be rarer than ever. In other words, this AU$200 discount on a disc model is worth snapping up immediately if you're in the market for a brand new console. Once this deal is over, it'll be a long cold wait until the next sales event.

After the digital model? That's available for AU$549, down from AU$679.95.

Breville InFizz Fusion
Breville InFizz Fusion: was AU$299 now AU$196 at Amazon

Save AU$103

Breville's SodaStream alternative is a good-looking machine and it can fizz up a heck of a lot of drinkable liquids, from juices to wine. This allows you to make all sorts of cold beverages, including cocktails, and that's what gives it a leg-up over many of its competitors. Available in two colourways for AU$196 – Brushed Stainless Steel and Truffle Black – and just AU$2 more for the Sea Salt.

Breville Bambino Plus
Breville Bambino Plus: was AU$729 now AU$493.99 at Amazon

Save AU$235.01Small and compact, this Breville espresso machine is for those who want excellent coffee without splurging on a large barista machine. We liked it so much when we tested it back in 2021 that it earned 4.5 stars in our Breville Bambino Plus review. Other than the rather significant savings, this machine also comes with two bags of free specialty coffee, thus saving you a touch more.

DJI Osmo Action 4 (Standard Combo)
DJI Osmo Action 4 (Standard Combo): was AU$469 now AU$328 at Amazon

Save AU$141

DJI's answer to GoPro, the Osmo Action 4 is a great action cam that benefits from a superior sensor over its predecessor. With horizon balance, better low-light performance than any other action camera and a noise-cancelling 3-mic system, this model is one to consider if you're an adrenaline junkie. Plus it's cheaper than Boxing Day, and only AU$4 more than the lowest we have seen on Amazon.

Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer (Ceramic Patina / Topaz)
Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer (Ceramic Patina / Topaz): was AU$749 now AU$497 at Amazon

Save AU$252

We have seen this Dyson hair dryer go quite a bit lower in price, so it may drop again later in the year, but if you're hoping to treat yourself now, this is a good price to pick it up for. Dyson's "most intelligent" hairdryer is designed to dry your hair faster and without the possibility of heat damage thanks to its new Scalp Protect mode.

Shopping tips

1. Become a Prime member

While it might cost you a monthly (or annual) fee to be a Prime member, it's the best way to maximise your savings, particularly if you think you're going to be shopping on the platform regularly. If you're not a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and, if you do so just before a big sale and cancel the subscription before the trial ends, you get the full benefits without having to pay anything extra, albeit for a short period of time.

Benefits include free and fast shipping, exclusive and early access to select deals, plus free subscriptions to some of Amazon's other services like Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming. Find out more about this subscription service in our guide to what is Amazon Prime.

2. Use Amazon coupons

We've got a dedicated page that lists a lot of Amazon coupon codes to help you save on your next shop, but there are always select items on the site that have a little check box that you can tick to bring the price down a little. These coupons can save you anywhere from 5% to 20% off a particular item, and occasionally there's a specific amount of money that gets deducted (e.g. AU$5 off a AU$20 portable power bank), so keep an eye out for them when shopping on Amazon.

Note that when you use these little boxes, the discounted price will only appear when you finally check out – not when the item is sitting in your virtual cart.

3. Track your cart

If you aren't in a hurry to buy something specific, you can always add it to your cart and click "save for later". Amazon has a handy functionality that automatically lets you know if an item in your cart has had a price change.

4. Set up alerts

If you don't want to keep logging into Amazon to check your cart, you can use a site called camelcamelcamel.com to see an item's price history. You just have to copy and paste the URL of the Amazon item you're interested in into Camelcamelcamel's search bar and voila, you get the price history represented by an easy-to-understand graph.

Monitoring this manually, though, can be annoying, so the folks behind this tracking site have created a handy browser plug-in that you can install to receive email alerts when a specific item gets a discount. This is particularly useful during Amazon's big sales if you know what you're after.

5. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program

If there are certain products you know you will buy regularly, particular pantry staples and toiletries, you can use the Subscribe & Save feature on Amazon. This option shows up as the default offer when click on items like laundry detergents, coffee pods, nail colour, baby-care items and more, and it's possible to save as much as 15%, with free shipping already available for Prime members.

6. Check Amazon's daily deals

Amazon has a dedicated hub that lists hundreds of offers, called Today's Deals. It sits right on top of the page and, while it looks a little daunting to browse, there are filters you can use to narrow down your search if you know what you're after.

If you happen to use an Echo smart device, you can also use a simple voice command to find out what the day's offers are by saying, "Alexa, what are my deals?"

7. Browse overstocked items in the Amazon Outlet store

Amazon also has a dedicated section called the Outlet Store that stocks clearance items going cheap. It also houses overstocked new items too, and these usually have some significant discounts. From electronics to homewares, the Outlet Store can save you a pretty penny, but note that some items may come in a damaged box. If so, there will be a note on the product listing page about its condition.

8. Shop during the big sales

If you're not in a rush to buy something, particularly an expensive item, consider waiting till a big sale comes knocking. By 'big', we mean Prime Day and Black Friday as these two sales are when we see the biggest discounts.

That said, there are usually a lot of good deals during Big Smile Sale and the Mid-Year Sale, so don't ignore those if you're keen on shopping through the year.

Amazon Big Smile Sale: FAQs

amazon prime membership free trial benefits prime day

(Image credit: Amazon)

What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?

While it's not as big as Amazon Prime Day or Amazon's offering during Black Friday, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is one of Amazon's major sales of the year. You can expect a massive range of discounts across the best headphones, stick vacuums, earbuds, cheap phones and more, but the main discounts will likely focus on Amazon-owned products like Kindle, Ring and Echo.

What days are the big Amazon sales?

Amazon has four exclusive sales throughout the year, while also taking part in the big general sales alongside Australia’s major retailers. These sales start in March (or early April) with the Big Smile Sale, while the Mid-Year sale is Amazon's alternative to Australian EOFY sales in June. Then there's Amazon Prime Day in July, which now occurs twice each year with Prime Day 2 – or Big Deal Days – landing in October.

Amazon is also one of the most significant retailers to shop with during the two biggest sales of the year – Black Friday and Boxing Day.

Does Amazon have an EOFY sale?

While Amazon doesn't take part in EOFY sales per se, the Amazon Mid-Year Sale lines up with the Australian End of Financial season.

What is Amazon's biggest sale?

While it's not an Amazon-exclusive sale, there's little doubt that Amazon's deal offerings during Black Friday are usually the best we see during the year. That being said, Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Big Deal Days are both worthy of circling on your calendar, although they’re usually reserved solely for Amazon Prime members.

What is the biggest sale in the world?

Between Boxing Day and Black Friday, it's hard to say which is the bigger global shopping event. While Boxing Day is an event for countries within the Commonwealth, and Boxing Day has an American origin, both are great times to pick up basically anything from any retailer across the globe.

However, it's possible neither Boxing Day nor Black Friday sales hold the crown of the world's biggest sale. That title might belong to Singles Day, held on November 11. A massive event in China, it has recently gained traction globally – and may increase in popularity in 2025.
