Best New Zealand tech deals: Save up to NZ$450 on BBQs, vacuums and ereaders

If you like cooking outdoors but don't want to deal with the mess of traditional BBQs, or if you only have a small balcony or deck, then Ninja's Woodfire just might be what you're looking for. This barbie is electric and it uses wood pellets to infuse smoke into your food. Our reviewer gave it five stars, with the only major complaints being its relatively small size. This discount makes it a tempting buy ahead of the upcoming King's Birthday long weekend, too.

These earbuds aim to help you sleep better by not just blocking noise, but also by playing white noise or other soothing sounds. The Sleep A20's battery life is also rated for 14 hours so you'll be covered the whole evening. Use the code SOUNDCORE at checkout to get this price.

This is one of the first deals we've seen for the new Ninja BlendBoss, so a NZ$90 price cut is a pretty solid start. We scored this small but mighty blender 4.5 stars in our review, praising its convenient integrated 26-ounce travel tumbler and powerful blades, making it perfect for a quick cool smoothie ahead of a busy day in the heat.

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.

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.

The FE tablet above is the better tablet, but at this price the S10 Lite might be the better buy for some. While the above competes with the iPad Air, at this price the Lite is facing off against the baseline iPad. If you're looking for a tablet to watch, scroll and draw on, this is a great buy.

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 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.

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.

This laptop is great for multitasking and productivity thanks to its whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM and Ryzen 7 processor, and won't be a slouch for gaming either with an AMD Radeon 840M GPU. A discount this big during a RAM and storage crisis is always welcome, especially if you need something sooner rather than later.

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.

ThinkPad laptops may be known as a favourite among corporate fleets for decades now, but it doesn't mean consumers should shun this workhorse.

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 latest version of the popular Crispi air fryer has two glass baskets, one with a 5.7L capacity and the other at 2.3L, giving you the freedom to cook a variety of dishes. And both come with lids, so you can serve in the same basket or cover and store in the fridge.

Want to read in colour? The Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best ereaders with a colour display, even offering a feature to make the hues more vivid. As noted in our Kindle Colorsoft review, once you experience a colour ereader of the Colorsoft's quality, it's hard to go back.

This top-spec laptop from HP has a touchscreen OLED display in 3K resolution that's great for media consumption, while also powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. It's still a pricey laptop, but this discount for a device spec'd like this will be a bargain as the RAM and storage shortage will start to make tech more expensive.

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.

Dyson's newest robovac wins where it's most important — cleaning and cleaning very well at that, with its smart obstacle avoidance, auto vacuuming and bagless design as its strengths. It's not perfect, as our reviewer found some glaring misses that could understandably make you pause at full price, but this discount should at least allay those concerns somewhat if the best cleaning ability is your priority.

This fully automatic coffee machine uses a ceramic grinder and fast heating time to help quickly whip up a cuppa, as well as a height-adjustable coffee outlet and milk frother to accommodate taller glasses.

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.

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 SPRING26 at checkout to get this price.

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 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. Use the code PBDEAL at checkout to get this price.

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.

This multicooker from Ninja aims to replace multiple kitchen appliances thanks to its 11 programmable cooking functions. Its pot has a 6L capacity with a non-stick coating for increased versatility, as well as a 3.7L Cook & Crisp plate for searing meats and vegetables. This discount should make this tempting for anyone looking to streamline their kitchen countertop space for less.

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.

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.

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.
