I can't help but enjoy a good Amazon sale and spend way too much time trying to find those sneaky price drops and standout deals that are easy to miss.

To share the love, I've collected all my favourites below, along with a list of key links that will take you straight to curated Amazon bestsellers and sales. If you haven't tried it yet, Amazon Prime is pretty handy and there's a 30 day free trial. This is especially important right now as many discounts are just for prime members.

To make sure I'm only listing real deals, not fake discounts from optimistic RRPs, I track price histories for thousands of products. I even compare prices with other retailers selling the same item and include links to our hands-on product reviews.

It's not long till Amazon Prime Day, which will be held from July 7 to July 13 in Australia.

Lindsay spends most of his day staring at four screens full of spreadsheets, and loves every second of it. When he’s not hunting for deals, he’s getting hands-on with the latest products, from laptops to power banks. The rest of the time, he’s usually tinkering with electronic projects like off-grid solar power, or out boating on Australia’s magnificent waterways.

My top deals this week

Ugreen USB-C cables 100W (2-pack)
Save 35% (AU$7.01)
Ugreen USB-C cables 100W (2-pack): was AU$19.99 now AU$12.98 at Amazon

Everyone needs more USB cables, and one of my favourite brands is Ugreen. This deal is for a two pack of the most popular 1m cables — back to a price that's equal to the lowest we have seen before. Ugreen has loads of USB cables that are currently discounted, so it's well worth a look. I especially like the 3m long cables, and have one by the couch for charging my phone or laptop.

Ugreen  Mini 30W USB-C charger
Save 33% (AU$10)
Ugreen Mini 30W USB-C charger: was AU$29.99 now AU$19.99 at Amazon

This is just AU$1 more than the lowest price I have seen for the Ugreen Mini 30W charger, and it's a great buy. The charger is extremely compact, which makes it an ideal choice to leave in a bag as a backup option. It can fast charge most phones and with 20V output, even top up a laptop if needed.

Iniu P50 45W 10,000 mAh power bank
Save 27% (AU$12.01)
Iniu P50 45W 10,000 mAh power bank: was AU$44.99 now AU$32.98 at Amazon

This compact yet powerful little power bank is at one of the best prices we have seen. Read our review for more insight, but it's a great option for those who want to be able to super fast charge a phone on the go.

Want a slimmer option? Iniu also has a version without the screen that's just 1.8cm thick.

Colgate Blast Water Flosser
Save 73% (AU$130.99)
Colgate Blast Water Flosser: was AU$179.99 now AU$49 at Amazon

If you don't enjoy flossing the traditional way, use the power of water instead. Removing plaque using three different water pressure settings, this handy flosser will clean out those hard-to-reach gaps that your toothbrush can't. Plus, it's cordless, meaning you can take it on your travels too. Even better, this is the lowest price we have seen.

Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
Save 31% (AU$31)
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus: was AU$99 now AU$68 at Amazon

Elevate your home entertainment experience with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus. This nifty gadget plugs into any TV's HDMI port and allows you to stream Netflix, Binge, Prime Video and more, all from an Alexa-enabled remote. Note that the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is a new name for the Fire TV Stick 4K, but they are otherwise identical.

JBL Grip
Save 36% (AU$45)
JBL Grip: was AU$125 now AU$80 at Amazon

The JBL Grip plugs the gap between the smaller Clip and formidable Flip. It's a compact speaker that delivers a big sound, offers impressive protection against dust and water and has some nifty LED lighting on its rear. The Flip 7 is still our top recommendation, but with the Grip current equal to the lowest price we have seen, it's a great buy.

Amazon Echo Dot Max
Save 25% (AU$50)
Amazon Echo Dot Max: was AU$199 now AU$149 at Amazon

This little speaker might be priced higher than the older Echo Dot models, but then it takes what Amazon's palm-sized smart speakers can do to the, well, max. It improves on sound with higher bass than the previous Echo Dot to make streaming music a much better experience. You still get all the Alexa smarts here, and a 25% discount isn't too bad at this time of year.

Shark Cordless Vacuum with Self Cleaning Brushroll (IZ102)
Save 64% (AU$350)
Shark Cordless Vacuum with Self Cleaning Brushroll (IZ102): was AU$549 now AU$199 at Amazon

It's our favourite budget vacuum cleaner, taking up a spot in our best cordless stick vacuum buying guide even though we've not been able to test it ourselves. User reviews are glowing though, and we trust the people who love this machine. While we have seen it as low as AU$208 (during Black Friday), for quick and daily vacuuming, this is a great deal.

Ninja Slushi
Save 50% (AU$300.99)
Ninja Slushi: was AU$599.99 now AU$299 at Amazon

The Ninja Slushi lets you skip the ice and still enjoy perfectly smooth icy drinks with very little effort. Whether you're craving a frappe, smoothie, or even a cheeky spiked slushi, its multiple drink modes have you covered. Even better, the current deal price is the lowest we have seen on Amazon. Check out our Ninja Slushi review for the full rundown.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2)
Save 30% (AU$209.98)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2): was AU$699.95 now AU$489.97 at Amazon

The original QC Ultra was already an excellent set of ANC cans, and now these Gen2 Bose QC Ultras reassert the brand's true mastery of sound and noise cancellation. Even better, this is the lowest price we have seen on Amazon.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch | M5 / 16GB / 512GB SSD
Save 6% (AU$102)
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch | M5 / 16GB / 512GB SSD: was AU$1,799 now AU$1,697 at Amazon

The MacBook Air M5 is very new so sales have been small so far. In comparison, it's currently AU$1,799 from Apple. Want to know more? Check out our MacBook Air M5 review.

More of my favourite deals

These are all the products that didn't quite make it into my very best deals this week. That doesn't mean they aren't great discounts, but you need to draw the line somewhere. As always, it starts with the very best deals at the top.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 (1 pack)
Save 49% (AU$27)
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 (1 pack): was AU$55 now AU$28 at Amazon

Samsung's alternative to Apple's AirTag was redesigned in 2023 and has been reasonably well received, making it a good Bluetooth tracker for non-Apple users. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it works with Android. It was a few dollars cheaper during Black Friday, but this price is still worth a look.

Want a few of these? The 4-pack is AU$86 which means a single SmartTag is just under AU$22.

Soundcore by Anker P20i earbuds
Save 28% (AU$11)
Soundcore by Anker P20i earbuds: was AU$39.99 now AU$28.99 at Amazon

We may not have tested these buds ourselves here at TechRadar, but it’s hard to ignore the 100K customer reviews on Amazon. While often discounted to this price, if you’re after dependable Bluetooth buds on a budget, these are a great option.

TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi range extender
Save 51% (AU$30)
TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi range extender: was AU$59 now AU$29 at Amazon

The best mesh Wi-Fi systems can be rather expensive. You can get around that by using range extenders instead, which are a heck of a lot cheaper as you can see by this deal. Just plug this little device into a power socket near a dead zone to eliminate it. This extender is an older model supporting Wi-Fi 5 with up to 750Mbps speed. If you need something faster, consider an upgraded model, all of which are discounted via the same listing.

Ugreen USB-C Charger 65W
Save 36% (AU$19.96)
Ugreen USB-C Charger 65W: was AU$54.95 now AU$34.99 at Amazon

Outputting a maximum of 65W via either one of its USB-C ports (and a maximum of 22.5W via its USB-A port), this charger isn’t just capable of fast charging top iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices at the highest speed, it’s also worth considering as a laptop charger replacement with its compact size, provided you have a sufficiently capable USB-C cable and your laptop can charge via said cable.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
Save 51% (AU$50.95)
Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse: was AU$99.95 now AU$49 at Amazon

Boasting a 12,000 DPI 'Hero' sensor, as well as 6 programmable buttons, a 250-hour battery and onboard memory for your settings, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse is ideal for competitive play. Want to know more? Check out our review.

Iniu B62 65W 20,000mAh power bank
Save 15% (AU$10.51)
Iniu B62 65W 20,000mAh power bank: was AU$69.99 now AU$59.48 at Amazon

This is the top-scoring 65W power bank in our buyers guide, and the 20,000 mAh capacity is perfect for charging a phone, laptop or gaming device like a Steam Deck. It's not too heavy to carry on the go, offers excellent efficiency, and even supports Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0 up to 45W.

Ugreen USB-C Charger 100W
Save 17% (AU$12)
Ugreen USB-C Charger 100W: was AU$71.99 now AU$59.99 at Amazon

A 100W charger is a must have for many beefier laptops, or fast charging multiple devices, and Ugreen is a brand we trust. We often see it around this price, but it's still a great buy.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Save 34% (AU$41)
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: was AU$119 now AU$78 at Amazon

The more powerful sibling to the Fire TV Stick 4K, the Max offers improved Wi-Fi performance and a faster processor — letting you traverse every major streaming service easily and lag-free. Perfect for those who want a stress-free, high-value addition to the lounge room, all you have to do is plug it in like any HDMI cord. We have seen it for AU$59 before, so hopefully Amazon will drop the price a little more this week.

Breville the Aroma Style
Save 23% (AU$24.95)
Breville the Aroma Style: was AU$109.95 now AU$85 at Amazon

This drip-style coffee maker lets you wake up to a fresh pot of coffee every morning and it will even keep it warm all morning for those cold days working from home. You can program it to brew at a specific time and even adjust the strength of your brew.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop
Save 62% (AU$141)
Nespresso Vertuo Pop: was AU$229 now AU$88 at Amazon

This little pod machine is very popular among TechRadar's Aussie team. We've had past and present staff say how much they love it, and they'd even buy it at full price. With a very compact footprint and plenty of Vertuo ppds to choose from, you'll get delicious coffee at just the press of a button.

Earfun Air Pro 4 (Black)
Save 35% (AU$50.36)
Earfun Air Pro 4 (Black): was AU$143.35 now AU$92.99 at Amazon

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.

Shark Flexbreeze HydroGo Misting Portable Fan
Save 69% (AU$205.99)
Shark Flexbreeze HydroGo Misting Portable Fan: was AU$299.99 now AU$94 at Amazon

This adorable tabletop fan is a must-have during Aussie summers. Available in a few colourways but only the Lilac going this cheap, it's lightweight, so you can take it with you when you go camping, and it runs on battery too. A picnic or a backyard party, in the house or while camping, you'll be glad you have the Shark HydroGo for company.

Philips Series 7000 All-in-One Multigroom
Save 39% (AU$62)
Philips Series 7000 All-in-One Multigroom: was AU$159 now AU$97 at Amazon

You don't have to spend thousands on a shaver when you can have this one for under AU$100. It runs up to 4 weeks on a single charge and is waterproof, plus you can trim or shave your face, body or head. It's a 15-in-1 device that's excellent value for money even though it's been cheaper (around AU$88) before.

Archer AX55 Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 AX3000
Save 25% (AU$40)
Archer AX55 Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 AX3000: was AU$159 now AU$119 at Amazon

Our friends at Tom's Guide were impressed in their 4-star TP-Link Archer AX55 review, and it's one of our favourite models thanks to a good mix of solid Wi-Fi performance and an affordable price tag. While it's previously dropped to AU$103.70 on Amazon, this saving ain't too bad either.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
Save 35% (AU$100.95)
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: was AU$289.95 now AU$189 at Amazon

While now the older model (check out our review for the full lowdown), you still get very good noise cancellation, and a very comfy yet secure fit. They also offer solid battery life and a feature-packed app. While we have seen them slightly cheaper in the past, this is still a great deal.

Sihoo M102C-M101
Save 36% (AU$105)
Sihoo M102C-M101: was AU$294.99 now AU$189.99 at Amazon

We haven't reviewed the M102C-M101, but we have been consistently impressed with the office chairs offered by Sihoo, complimenting them for their lightweight and adjustable designs, breathable fabrics and easy assembly. The M102C might be the chair you've been looking for, with its mesh design, lumbar pillow and headrest.

Breville Dose Control Pro Coffee Grinder
Save 31% (AU$91)
Breville Dose Control Pro Coffee Grinder: was AU$289 now AU$198 at Amazon

If you've already got a decent coffee maker but one without a grinder, just add this Breville machine to get fresh ground coffee. It has over 60 settings for precise control over your beans, meaning you should be able to extract the most delicious shot from the grind catering to your taste.

Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90)
Save 56% (AU$250)
Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90): was AU$449 now AU$199 at Amazon

Philips is the undisputed king of air fryers and while I've seen this discounted to AU$199, a 56% saving is still significant. The 5000 Series XXL offers a generous 7.2L/1.4kg capacity (enough to feed six people), 16 different cooking functions and even Wi-Fi connectivity and a smartphone app with recipes that can send commands straight to the fryer. The basket is also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless
Save 30% (AU$90)
HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless: was AU$299 now AU$209 at Amazon

This is a nice discount on a great gaming headset. With these you're getting 300 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, and the Cloud series' now iconic tough-as-guts aluminium frame.

Ninja Crispi air fryer
Save 27% (AU$80.01)
Ninja Crispi air fryer: was AU$299.99 now AU$219.98 at Amazon

Ninja released the larger Crispi Pro just last week, so it's no wonder that the older model is getting some good discounts right now. It packs 1700W of power into a portable design, with two borosilicate glassware containers that serve as both frying baskets and serving dishes. The borosilicate means they can also withstand extreme temperatures, making it easy to take your favourite foods from frozen to crispy, and it's safer to use than any non-stick basket. The Crispi also comes with two removable crisping grates and two snap-on container lids for easy food-storage post-feast.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (Hazel)
Save 41% (AU$157)
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (Hazel): was AU$379 now AU$222 at Amazon

An attractive discount on Google's best earbuds ever, featuring impressive noise cancelling and great sound quality, wrapped up in two tiny buds. Even better, this is the lowest price we have seen since Black Friday.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 (pink)
Save 35% (AU$121.95)
Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 (pink): was AU$349.95 now AU$228 at Amazon

Louder than the Book 4 listed above, the Megaboom 4 might just be the Bluetooth speaker you need, albeit at a slightly higher price than the former. For the extra cash, you're also getting more battery (20 hours compared to 15 in the Boom 4), but they're both just as good-looking and rugged, with 360º sound. If you're after space-filling tunes, then opt for the Megaboom 4. The pink colourway is cheapest at present.

Ninja DoubleStack Air Fryer
Save 58% (AU$350.99)
Ninja DoubleStack Air Fryer: was AU$599.99 now AU$249 at Amazon

I love this air fryer. It allows you to cook two items at the same time without taking too much space in your kitchen. Philips has now released a similar model, but this OG is still fantastic. Each drawer gives you about 4.5L capacity, so you can make a main and a side easily enough for two or three people. While it often sells for around the AU$380 mark, it's currently near to the lowest price we have seen.

Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless
Save 44% (AU$199.96)
Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless: was AU$449.95 now AU$249.99 at Amazon

This is an incredible headset with a long-lasting battery life, exceptional surround sound, and handy removable microphone. In our Logitech G Pro X 2 review, we awarded the headset four and half stars, complimenting its lightweight construction, premium app, DTS Super Stereo integration and incredible audio, though noted it’s not cheap. Thankfully there’s a discount.

Bose TV Speaker
Save 34% (AU$140.95)
Bose TV Speaker: was AU$419.95 now AU$279 at Amazon

We haven’t reviewed this Bose soundbar, but if it’s anything like the brand’s other models, we’re confident it will do a mighty fine job of boosting the sound from your TV, ideal when watching movies. If you want to add even more low-end grunt, it works with the company’s Bass Modules (sold separately). A Dialogue mode helps to boost vocals, and if you fancy a dance around your bedroom or living room, Bluetooth is onboard for you to stream your favourite tunes.

Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd gen)
Save 20% (AU$70)
Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd gen): was AU$349 now AU$279 at Amazon

Not too big, not too small — the Echo Show 8's display hits the sweet spot in terms of size, giving you both voice and touch control over your smart home setup. Make video calls, watch videos, stream music, check the weather, call the family to dinner and so much more with this one device. It's still an expensive device, but this is the best discount on the latest model of the Echo Show 8 I've seen this year.

JBL Xtreme 4
Save 34% (AU$147.95)
JBL Xtreme 4: was AU$429.95 now AU$282 at Amazon

Offering bold sound that doesn't distort at high volumes, an attractive design and a brilliant 24-hour battery life, the JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker is well worth considering if you've been looking or a powerful music player. It might now have been supplanted by the Xtreme 5, but it's hard to beat at this price.

Ninja Foodi XXL FlexDrawer (AF500)
Save 36% (AU$161.99)
Ninja Foodi XXL FlexDrawer (AF500): was AU$449.99 now AU$288 at Amazon

Sometimes the standard drawer capacities of air fryers just isn't enough, which is why it's lovely to have one that offers flexibility. This 10L air fryer can be used a single or dual basket appliance, and you can use the divider to change the capacity of the two as needed. It will take up some counter space though as it's a big machine.

Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer Steam
Save 41% (AU$206.60)
Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer Steam: was AU$499 now AU$292.40 at Amazon

Ever cooked with steam in an air fryer? Now you can with this Philips two-drawer air fryer. In our Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam review, we said that it cooks everything really well, but there are some caveats to keep in mind when it comes to the use of steam. Still, it's absolutely worth the investment if you want to upgrade from an old air fryer, although it has been cheaper before.

Ninja  Creami Deluxe
Save 34% (AU$150.99)
Ninja Creami Deluxe: was AU$449.99 now AU$299 at Amazon

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.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
Save 29% (AU$130.95)
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: was AU$449.95 now AU$319 at Amazon

Offering “incredible sound” according to our review, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have all the power and quality you’d expect from a Bose-branded item while providing the benefits of an open-ear form factor. The Immersive sound is excellent, and they give up to 7 hours of music. While they have been slightly cheaper, this is the best price we have seen since Black Friday.

Ninja Swirl by Creami
Save 37% (AU$204)
Ninja Swirl by Creami: was AU$549 now AU$345 at Amazon

This is one of the better deals we have seen for the Creami lately. Read our review for more info, but you can think of it as the Creami’s upgraded sibling. It handles everything the original model does, then goes further with a built-in soft-serve unit featuring six dedicated programs.

Apple AirPods Pro 3
Save 23% (AU$100)
Apple AirPods Pro 3: was AU$429 now AU$329 at Amazon

While not much of a reduction, (and they have been AU$329), this is the best Amazon discount right now on Apple's latest noise-cancelling buds. So if you've been keen to upgrade from an older pair of AirPods 2 or 3, they are worth a look. If you're a Pro 2 user, though, it's not worth the upgrade. Check out our review for the full story, but the new features include heart-rate monitoring and even better ANC than before.

Garmin Vivoactive 5
Save 27% (AU$136.77)
Garmin Vivoactive 5: was AU$499 now AU$362.23 at Amazon

The Vivoactive 5 contains a lot of the premium Garmin features found in its more expensive offerings, while also priced closer to conventional smartwatches. These features include on-board GPS, on-device storage for offline music via Spotify, and fitness metrics like Body Battery and VO2 Max.

Breville Eye Q (2-slice)
Save 11% (AU$44)
Breville Eye Q (2-slice): was AU$419 now AU$375 at Amazon

Not a big discount and even I balk at recommending a toaster that costs more then AU$50, but I have the Black Truffle model of this 2-slice toaster and trust me when I say it's one of the best toasters I've used. Sure, it's overkill for the average person but if you can get the perfect toast every morning (or arvo or evening), I think it's worth considering.

Garmin Instict 2 Solar
Save 41% (AU$280)
Garmin Instict 2 Solar: was AU$679 now AU$399 at Amazon

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.

Bose SoundLink Max
Save 30% (AU$179.98)
Bose SoundLink Max: was AU$599.95 now AU$419.97 at Amazon

It might be expensive compared to other Bluetooth speakers you can get, but if you want big and punchy sound, this is the party speaker you should reach for. It will even charge your handheld devices for you thanks to its two-way USB-C port. Bose wraps up excellent sound quality and an enjoyable user experience in an attractive, outdoor-friendly package that's now a dollar cheaper than what you could get during Boxing Day last December.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm)
Save 36% (AU$251)
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm): was AU$699 now AU$448 at Amazon

A 4.5-star smartwatch with super-accurate health and activity tracking. If you throw in the industry-leading AI features, then you really do have the complete package that's perfect for Samsung users.

Dyson Supersonic Nural
Save 40% (AU$300)
Dyson Supersonic Nural: was AU$749 now AU$449 at Amazon

AU$100 cheaper than during Big Smile Sale, it's a good opportunity to pick up the Supersonic Nural. Read our review for more, but it offers a wealth of intelligent features to better care for your hair, along with multiple attachments to create all kinds of styles.

Promising simplicity of use, the De'Longhi Magnifica S has an easy-to-use touch control panel that allows you to brew two cups simultaneously with the minimum amount of effort. It also has a silent integrated grinder with 13 settings, plus a handy milk frother too, so it’s a good all-in-one solution.

Dyson Airstrait
Save 34% (AU$255)
Dyson Airstrait: was AU$749 now AU$494 at Amazon

Promising to take way less time to straighten hair than traditional flat irons by working just fine in wet hair, the Airstrait is the hair-care tool making headlines. It won't burn wet hair as other straighteners would, leaving you with less hair damage and a quicker styling session in the mornings.

Roborock F25 Ace
Save 45% (AU$450)
Roborock F25 Ace: was AU$999 now AU$549 at Amazon

This Roborock wet-dry vacuum will leave your hard floors sparkling clean thanks to powerful suction and effective cleaning. It can get up close to edges and the whole body can lay completely flat to help get underneath tricky to reach places. This is the best price we've seen on this wet washer too. Read our review for more info.

Breville Barista Express
Save 40% (AU$404)
Breville Barista Express: was AU$999 now AU$595 at Amazon

With a nice saving, it's hard to dismiss this Breville coffee machine deal. The Barista Express has a built-in grinder, tamper, and bean hopper, so there's no need to buy a separate grinder or hand tamp. Available in a few colourways under the same listing, only the Charcoal model gets the full discount.

KitchenAid KSM150 stand mixer
Save 33% (AU$300)
KitchenAid KSM150 stand mixer: was AU$899 now AU$599 at Amazon

A staple in many a kitchen in Australia for yonks, this is every baker's must-have appliance. It has been cheaper (down to AU$499) on Amazon previously, but we think this discount is still worth considering.

Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni
Save 50% (AU$752)
Ecovacs Deebot T50 Pro Omni: was AU$1,499 now AU$747 at Amazon

Now, I will admit that my experience with the Deebot T50 Pro Omni wasn't as good as I had hoped, but it could well have been an isolated case. It's a more powerful than either of the robovacs listed above, with 15,000Pa of suction, and promises good navigation and obstacle avoidance.

Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine
Save 32% (AU$352)
Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine: was AU$1,099 now AU$747 at Amazon

It's definitely an expensive machine, but it might be just what you need. As a pod machine that uses Nespresso's delicious offerings, it's got a smaller footprint than manual or semi-automatic models, and it offers different serve sizes in case you want more than just a single shot.

Fujifilm X Half
Save 41% (AU$550)
Fujifilm X Half: was AU$1,349 now AU$799 at Amazon

This is a massive saving on a fantastic little camera that emulates film photography. Resembling the X100VI, the X Half has some unique features, including 2-in-1 diptychs and a dedicated 'film camera mode' for the experience of shooting with a half-frame film camera... just digitally.

Save 25% (AU$279.10)
TP-Link Deco BE65 BE11000 WiFi 7 Tri-Band Mesh (3-pack): was AU$1,099 now AU$819.90 at Amazon

While not the very lowest price we have seen, this is still a decent discount. We suggest you read our TP-Link Deco BE63 review for the full breakdown, but suffice to say it's very fast, and while Wi-Fi 7 isn't widely supported just yet, it gives great future proofing. It's also ideal for gamers, or those with a NAS, as the mesh nodes include a 2.5G network port.

If you're looking for a mixture of size and speed under the AU$1,000 price bracket, look no further than this behemoth. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into, and it's a bit of a bargain right now. Read our review for more info, but the 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy for those who will use it for work and play.

Canon EOS R50 + RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens: was AU$1,299 now AU$998 at Amazon

It's already a very affordable APS-C camera kit, so even a small discount makes it worthwhile. For your money, you get a 24.2MP beginner-friendly camera that includes creative modes to simplify taking photos. Plus you get 4K/30p (6K oversampling) video on board too.

Save 22% (AU$366)
Fujifilm X-M5 + XC 15-45mm lens: was AU$1,649 now AU$1,283 at Amazon

This camera has gone viral in other countries, so much so that's it's hard to find stock. In Australia, however, there's plenty, and it offers fabulous value, especially since this is single-lens kit that's cheaper than the RRP of the body alone. It's one of the tiniest cameras available today and still comes packed with features for entry-level hybrid shooters. So go on, you won't regret it.

Lenovo Legion Pro 34WD-10 OLED (2025): was AU$1,899 now AU$1,299 at Amazon

We haven’t tested this 34-inch OLED screen, but our colleagues at Tom’s Guide have, with the writer calling it one of the best gaming monitors of the past 20 years. It offers a superfast 0.03ms response time and a 240Hz refresh rate, packaged in with a 2K resolution across its ultrawide display.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (256GB)
Save 26% (AU$552)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra (256GB): was AU$2,099 now AU$1,547 at Amazon

If you want the best of the best when it comes to Samsung tablets, then the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the ultimate option for both specs and size, thanks to a gigantic 14.6-inch screen. Our Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra review, praised the huge AMOLED display and that the 16:10 aspect ratio worked better for watching videos on it compared to the 4:3 ratio in iPads. The biggest criticism was the price given its CPU, but this discount addresses that somewhat.

Canon EOS R8 (body)
Save 35% (AU$901)
Canon EOS R8 (body): was AU$2,599 now AU$1,698 at Amazon

This might be an entry-level camera but it sure 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 although it has been slightly cheaper before, the savings here are enough to get you a decent lens to start you off on your photography journey.

Save 31% (AU$1,193.29)
Apple iPad Pro (M5; 2TB; LTE): was AU$3,799 now AU$2,605.71 at Amazon

Still definitely an investment, but this could well be the perfect laptop replacement if you work on the go a lot. The M5 chip is Apple's most powerful to date, and if you use your savings to pick up a keyboard folio, this does become a far more portable package than a MacBook Pro. And if you're definitely using it for work, it's tax deductible too.

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. When we say big, we mean the Prime Day and Amazon Black Friday sales. This is when we see the biggest discounts of the year.

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

When is Amazon Prime Day in Australia for 2026?

Is Amazon Prime Day worth it?

Arriving not long after Amazon's mid year sale and EOFY, Prime Day in Australia can seem a little underwhelming.

We have covered the events for a decade, and Prime Day is still one of our favourite events. It doesn't usually have the most deals overall (Black Friday is hard to beat) but it comes in second place for the most deals hitting all time low prices.

So as far as Amazon sales go, Prime Day is definitely worth checking out.

Does Amazon Prime Day have early deals?

Often deals on Amazon devices start a day or two early, and some other brands get in on the action too. So it's well worth checking in before the main sale starts. We will have the best deals right here, or in a dedicated Prime Day page once the event starts.

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. It typically takes place in late March or early April.

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.

And, while they aren't specific to Amazon, the Amazon Black Friday and Boxing Day sales are undoubtedly two of the best times to shop.

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 – but its Prime Day deals are right up there. The Amazon Big Deal Days sale is also worth circling on your calendar. Note, many of the deals during these sales are exclusive to 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.
