Best New Zealand tech deals: save up to NZ$1,357 on speakers, laptops and vacuums

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.

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 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.

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.

Instant Pot became a household name a decade ago when it made the multicooker a mainstream kitchen appliance by expanding the pressure cooker into a multi-functional device for cooking. The Instant Pot Duo Plus is our pick for the best value for money multicooker, and this discount makes it an even more compelling buy if you were in the market for an all-in-one cooking appliance.

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 encased in a well-designed and high quality build, this premium vacuum is a steal thanks to this discount and for being a previous generation product.

This HP 2-in-1 laptop features a vibrant OLED display with a max brightness of 500 nits, along with a comfortable keyboard and touchpad that should appeal to anyone valuing productivity and media consumption. This variant also features an Intel Core Ultra 7 for speedy performance. To get this price, use the coupon code HP711 at checkout.

MightyApe has launched a flash sale on Lego this week, including sets from licenced properties like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Disney and more, as well as sets from the Architecture and Icons lines. This Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set recreates the X-Wing Starfighter from the show The Mandalorian. MightyApe will also throw in a free ‘Year of the Horse’ set to make this an even more compelling deal.

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’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. PBTech has also discounted the Bluetooth-only version for NZ$349, but has advised there is limited stock.

With the popularity of ultra-high resolution displays and higher-end technology like OLED, 4K IPS monitors like this one from AOC have gone down in price. This deal makes this 27-inch monitor a no-brainer for anyone still using a comparatively cramped 1080p or 720p equivalent. This has a 60Hz refresh rate, so maybe look elsewhere if gaming is a priority.

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.

Whether you’re looking to monitor your energy use or just want to remotely turn your devices on or off, these smart plugs from Meross are a great introduction to turning your house into a smart home. These plugs are also compatible with Alexa and Google Home, making them easy to integrate into an existing smart home setup, too. A single plug isn’t discounted at NZ$24.30, making this 2-pack a much better deal.

Feeling the heat where you live? This Vornado looks to eliminate hot (or cold) spots across the room through a tight jet stream of air that travels long distances. In the summer, this is often paired with an air conditioner, while it helps push warmer air down during the winter. NZ$399 on a fan definitely feels steep, so this deal should make it more accessible if you were eyeing one of these for your home.

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.

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.

Wet-and-dry vacuums tend to usually come in stick or robot form, so while they’re great for floors they may not be ideal for other scenarios. This portable vacuum from Shark retains the same suction from the brand’s other wet-and-dry models, but in a lightweight package and a handle for easy carrying. This has been cheaper before, but this discount is still good for this time of the year.

Apple’s AirTags is a nice piece of kit if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, but these trackers from Ugreen are a cheaper alternative that also won’t require a separate holder for it to be attached to your keys and other belongings. This discount makes it an even cheaper option, especially if you don’t need the AirTag’s extra-precision finding tech.

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.

With more storage, a brighter screen and wireless charging, the Paperwhite Signature Edition is arguably the best-value Kindle in our opinion. Plus, you can grab it in the Amazon-exclusive Jade colour at this discounted price.

We deem the Flip 7 to be the best Bluetooth speaker overall thanks to its winning combination of powerful, detailed sound, an incredibly tough build and a raft of useful features.

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.

Why settle for a single vacuum cleaner or separate machines when you can have multiple cleaners in one? The Floor One Switch S6 is a stick vac, hard floor mop, and a handheld vacuum with attachments for upholstery and an extending pole to reach your ceilings. The motor can be switched out and used with each attachment with ease, and it even washes and dries the mopping head by itself.

Scoring NZ$500 off Dyson's most powerful cordless vac is a great deal in our opinion. Plus, this is the Complete model, meaning you get a plethora of attachments including the Fluffy Optic cleaning head that illuminates invisible dust on hard floors to ensure you can capture every last mote and a number of crevice tools to reach those tricky areas.

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.

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.

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 Shokz OpenRun are some of the best bone conduction sports headphones you can buy. They deliver great sound quality and a slim design, with improved an improved eight hour battery life. If you want to run and remain aware of your surroundings, these are what you want. Hurry – stock is limited.

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.

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.

It's not a huge discount but the JBL Flip 7 outperforms its predecessor (which is also discounted and listed higher on this page), getting a full five stars in our review. The sound is a lot punchier than before and that's without compromising details across the range. It even gets a bigger battery to last you up to 16 hours and makes a case for itself at a very good price indeed. Available in various colours at this price. Members save NZ$5 more.

The Charge 6 is the latest in a successful series of powerful, portable speakers that have a nifty trick up their sleeve. Not only can the Charge 6 last up to 28 hours on a single charge, but it can also be used as a power bank to top up your devices via its USB-C port. Sound quality is energetic and detailed in equal measure, and it’s built to withstand virtually anything you wish to throw at it.

Our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? said this turntable from JBL is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can bypass it if you wish), or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. If you're looking for a turntable upgrade, or a solid starting point to enter the world of vinyl, this JBL spinner is an excellent choice.

This UST projector from AWOL Vision does require some manual input to set it up correctly, but once it's done, you'll be treated to a glorious, bright image. It supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and because of a lack of built-in streaming apps, an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is included. And this offer is more than NZ$100 cheaper than what it was during the July Prime Day sale.

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.

You may not have heard of this brand and dismiss it out of hand but, for its price, our colleagues at Digital Camera World rated it with a 4-star score in their review. Even at full price, it represents excellent value, offering a front screen that even a GoPro doesn't get you. Admittedly its image quality lacks against the big players, but we have it on good authority that it's reliable, easy to use and comes with plenty of accessories in the box.

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.

The X-E5 is a far cry from the budget options that used to be in the X-E range. It upgrades to a 40.2MP APS-C sensor, shoots at up to 20fps in burst mode with a 66-shot RAW buffer, and the sensor is stabilised too. If you like the rangefinder look, this is one heck of a compact package that you will need to buy a lens for.

This micro four thirds camera is a real marvel. We were so impressed with it that it scored 4.5 stars in our OM System OM-1 Mark II review. Its image quality is par excellence but its standout features are its superb stabilisation and the built-in graduated ND filters. It's a serious little camera for the serious photographer.

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.

"One of the most fun cameras I've ever used" is how our tester described it in our Insta360 Go 3S review. Its tiny build and easy magnetic mounting provide unique hands-free angles and offers great 4K video. Its Action Pod expands its functionality even further, but no deals are currently available on that kit – and it's a great pick up all on its own.

If you’ve been hesitant to invest in the PSVR 2 at its full price, this Black Friday deal brings it down to a much more accessible price point. Offering a seamless gateway to VR gaming when connected to a PS5, it’s a no-brainer if you're not too keen on the Meta Quest 3S above.

While this deal is more expensive than the Prime Day price, this headset is an easy recommendation it at this price. Read our Corsair HS80 Max review for the full scoop, but we gave it 4 stars, and say it has a good sound, comes with both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, a bunch of EQ options, plus RGB lighting.

Picking up a new PS5 this Black Friday? Or gifting it to a loved one for Christmas? This game goes with the PlayStation like sauce on a pie. Plus, in this sequel, you get two very different Spider-Man experiences as you switch between Peter and Miles.

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.

Bright, easy to use and even more easily expanded, the Philips Hue lightstrip is the go-to LED light strip for a reason. Pairing it with the Hue Bridge unlocks its true power, and it's a clean way to add accent lighting to any surface, with a range of brightness and colour options to choose from.

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.
