Best New Zealand tech deals: Save up to NZ$1,600 on vacuums, coffee machines and smartwatches

This massive discount on what is still a fantastic robot vacuum is exclusively for Prime members, and one that's worth considering if you need a new robovac. This one works nicely indeed, as evidenced by our 4.5-star score for the Dreame L40 Ultra review. It vacuums, mops, then cleans itself, with minimal need for human intervention.

According to our 4.5-star Ninja Luxe Café review, this machine is worth the hype. Our tester said it was "an espresso machine anyone can master" that offers pro-level drinks without the effort. She also applauded its consistently great brews, ease of use, striking build and excellent value – quite a statement considering its price.

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.

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.

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.

Our iPhone Air review praised its slim, light design, excellent 6.5-inch ProMotion display and fast A19 Pro chip, though the single rear camera and merely decent battery life make the iPhone 17 Pro a better fit for those who love to take photos.

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 video doorbell from Amazon subsidiary Ring is the company's entry-level offering that still offers features like head-to-toe HD video and colour night vision. This does require a paid subscription to unlock some features, but this discount should partly address some of that concern.

Don’t be fooled by the 4% discount figure — after including the RRP increase to NZ$969.95 that starts September 1, this price will be roughly 14% cheaper, and we suspect this could be as good as pre-hike deals get. If you’re upgrading from the original Switch, the Switch 2 is also backward compatible, so you can still play your existing library of games on the more powerful console.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The name points to its extremely compact form factor that packs everything inside the handle – a tube that measures just 3.8cm in diameter, roughly the same size as a ping pong ball. It might sacrifice some suction power, so it’s not suited for cleaning carpets, but it is very nimble and manoeuvrable when used on hard floors. A discount like this for a newly released and innovative Dyson vacuum is tempting for those with smaller spaces with hard floors.

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 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 QD-OLED TV from Samsung earned five stars from our reviewer, thanks to its outstanding picture quality, gaming features and connectivity. We found that the Samsung S90F packs a punch relative to its price, and this discount makes the TV a lot more tempting. Use PBDEAL at checkout to get this price.

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.

This 1080p monitor boasts a 180Hz refresh rate, making it great for gaming, and it's also cheap enough for a multi-monitor setup if that's more your jam. This discount makes it even more affordable for those looking to upgrade or add to their setups.

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 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.

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 WINTER26 at checkout to get this price.

This security camera features 2K resolution, good night vision, an IP67 rating and best of all, it supports local storage so you won't need to pay an extra subscription. This is also one of the few security cameras that supports Apple HomeKit. This discount makes this 2-pack an even better deal considering that the eufycam 2C Pro doesn't require ongoing costs.

This air fryer is perfect for those who love to cook for a crowd, thanks to its massive 9.5L capacity. The two trays will also let you cook two foods at once. This 40% discount is worth considering for a mum (or otherwise) who loves to cook a lot in one go.

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.

If you're in the market for new AirPods but don't want the in-ear design of the AirPods Pros (or if you're on a budget), PBTech has the 4th generation Apple earbuds on sale. They're great sounding, secure and comfortable to wear even without the eartips. The ANC version is also discounted at NZ$314.

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.

We named this sit/stand desk as one of our most recommended thanks to its built-in power and cable management. The major downside from our review was the price, so this discount should address that concern somewhat if you're looking to upgrade your gaming or WFH setup.

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.

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.

If you have a previous-generation iPad and you want to unlock more of its capabilities, then this 2nd generation Apple Pencil should turn your media consumption and gaming tablet into a productivity machine. Just be sure to double check your iPad is compatible — a full list is on the retailer's website — as it doesn't work with every model.

This no-nonsense 17-inch laptop bears a powerful Intel Core 7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage that will provide you with all the productivity you need for work or study. While the 17-inch display is 1080p, it has an anti-glare coating to allow you to use it comfortably outdoors. This discount makes this a great purchase for any discerning uni student or freelancer looking to get tasks done with no frills.

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. The upgraded parts have made the Blast Max a little pricier, but this discount brings it to the same price of the regular Ninja Blast.

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.

The MX Master is my personal favourite mouse for productivity with its ergonomic shape, customisable buttons, and a second scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling. It’s built for working, so gamers will want to look elsewhere – such as the Logitech G305 that’s also discounted – but this discount should make this a compelling buy for anyone who’s looking to upgrade their work or study mouse.

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.

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.

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$158, it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
