Best New Zealand tech deals: top online discounts in October 2024

Save NZ$262.58
In a market filled with vacuums costing upwards of NZ$1,500, the value the Shark IZ102 provides is immense – now just a dollar more than the cheapest price we've ever seen. The clear choice when we were selecting our best budget stick vacuum, it offers a 40-minute runtime that is more than suitable for most cleans, LED lights that reveal hidden debris, versatile attachments and a self-cleaning brushroll that has no issue sucking up hair.

If you're looking for an affordable stick vacuum that can handle pet (and human) hair, the Miele triflex HX2 was our #1 pick for pet owners before the Shark Stratos took its spot.

It wasn't the huge upgrade we wanted back in 2023 – which is why we were a little soft on it in our (still four-star) DJI Osmo Action 4 review. It did make some key improvements though, especially to its sensor, and it’s a darn good deal at its second-lowest price ever, despite being just 17% off. Performing better in low-light situations than any other action camera on the market, as well as a 3-microphone noise-cancelling system and horizon balance, one of the best camera's from GoPro's biggest rival is now seriously affordable.

In our four-star Dyson V8 review, we called it affordable, versatile and well-designed, with effective suction power. In 2024, it's far from the latest and greatest Dyson has to offer, but with this impressive AU$334.54 off, it's still a very tempting prospect.

If you don't mind spending a little more for a higher-quality, newer product, grab the Dyson V10 Cyclone – now 38% off – and the Dyson V11 is also heavily discounted on Noel Leeming.

Save NZ$37.42
Already offering exceptional value, these wireless buds in their black colourway get a 48% discount – making this the lowest price we've seen. Don't worry, they aren't just cheap – we gave them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, with their active noise cancelling, premium sound quality aided by aptX support and 45 hours total play time shining. If black's not for you, the other four colours are also heavily discounted.

The Breville the Barista Touch makes delicious coffee simple thanks to its integrated grinder with user-friendly assisted tamping and auto-dosing to produce great results. Even for those who love a cappuccino, simply choose how you like your coffee with its intuitive touchscreen the machine does the rest. Working just as well for quick caffeine hits as it does for those methodical Sunday morning brews, the Barista Touch is an investment, but it’s one of the best espresso machines for a reason.

HP 17.3-inch Laptop | NZ$2,599 NZ$1,429 on HP

If you're looking for a laptop with a large display without paying exorbitant prices, this HP deal is for you. With a massive 17.3-inch display, we think this laptop is one of the best 17-inch laptops when shopping on a budget. With a Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage and fast-charging battery, it's made for work.

Save NZ$251.01
You won't find it in our list of the best robot vacuums as we haven't gotten our hands on this robo vac, but we think this is a deal worth considering. This robot vacuum from Lefant promises a 200-minute cleaning time, easy control via a companion app, various cleaning modes and precise navigation. If you want to enter the world of robo vacs on a budget, this would be a fine choice.

If you don't mind spending a little more, the Ecovacs Deebot T20e Omni is 48% off.

A little out of our lane, but this deal is too good to ignore – and digital watches are technically tech. We don't need to give you the spiel on G-Shock watches, but this one is especially attractive. As tough as it is stylish, this watch offers five daily alarms, a stopwatch timer, a world time clock and is water-resistant to 200m.

Boosting your home security and ensuring you'll never miss another package, there's not too many better ways to spend NZ$90. In our Ring Video Doorbell 2 review, we loved its motion tracking and ease of use, and while it's not the newest product, it offers two-way talk, night vision, a rechargeable battery and Alexa integration for a very affordable price.

If you're not sure the Envy has enough oomph, the Spectre certainly will. If you're a gamer, content creator or professional who wants to combine portability of a tablet with the power needed to get your job done, the HP Spectre x 360 is for you. Usually exceedingly pricey, this 35% discount makes it dramatically easier to recommend. Its AI functionality, Poly Studio audio, a touchpad with haptic feedback and 2560 x 1600 resolution doesn't hurt, either.

Save NZ$406.95
While it's not quite the lowest price we've ever seen – it's gone lower by NZ$12 – the Garmin Instinct 2s for just NZ$392 is a heck of a deal if you want a fitness-focused smartwatch without the bells and whistles – just the time, necessary activity and fitness information and a whole heap of battery life – lasting up to 50 days. We gave it five stars in our Garmin Instinct 2s review due to its durability, GPS tracking and training tools, making it an easy recommendation at this price.

Secretlab TITAN Evo XL | NZ$1,149 NZ$999 from Secretlab (save NZ$150)

It just looks comfortable, doesn't it? Well, having got our hands on the Titan Evo back in June of 2022, we can confirm it's as comfy as it looks. While we called it one of the best gaming chairs on the market, which it undoubtedly is, the Titan Evo isn't gaming-exclusive. With an exceptionally customisable lumbar support, recline and tilt adjustability, and an included neck pillow, we can't find too much fault at this price. If you need a chair for long gaming or working sessions, this could be it.
