Amazon's Black Friday sale, which from November 18 through Cyber Monday on December 1, is officially over. However, while the sale might have finished, the discounts haven't – and there's still a ton of deals to enjoy.
So, if you missed your chance to shop all Cyber Weekend, or you're still hunting a few of your top Christmas gift ideas, Amazon should be your #1 retailer to buy from. Considering that a normal week on Amazon fills this page with deals we consider worth buying, the current selection offers an abundance of choice.
That's why we created this guide – to simplify the process and help you easily discover and take advantage of top offers on Amazon. Deals during big sales like Prime Day are often Prime member-exclusive. The majority of Black Friday discounts, however, are open to the public, meaning you can save without spending the AU$9.99 for a membership.

One of the best cheap phones in Australia, this Motorola handset is packed full of value if you don't need the latest and bestest phone on the market. For your money, you get a vivid display, impressive battery life and very good everyday performance. Don't expect it to handle heavy gaming, but its plenty for the average user.

With some significant improvements under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE also comes at a marked-up price compared to its predecessor and, at full price, isn't all that far off the flagship S25's price point. This small discount, however, drops this into the mid-range category.

We don't tend to see much in the way of discounts from Apple, so this minor 10% off isn't too bad, although it was AU$879 in October. With Apple Pencil and Smart Folio support, this 8.3-inch slate is a handy device to have if you're working on the go. Read more in our review.

A much better discount than the 17% saving we saw in October, the 2024 Paperwhite is one of the best Kindles you can get. Its E Ink Carta 1300 screen is fantastic, page turns are quick and we gave it 4 stars in our review. My only complaint with it is that a significant chunk of its 16GB storage is taken up by the OS, which won't necessarily be a deal breaker for most users.
Read moreRead less▼
With more storage, a brighter screen and wireless charging, the Paperwhite Signature Edition is arguably better value than the base model above. What's more, this discount brings the price to a new all-time low in Australia. Don't need a colour screen? Then check this ereader out.

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.

I'm disappointed that the previous AU$80 discount from October is not being offered right now, but I can't help love the Palma 2. It's the size of a smartphone, looks like a smartphone, but it's an ereader that runs a trimmed-down version of Android. So not only can you use it to read on, but you can full access to the Google Play Store too. It's my pick for the best compact ereader, so if you want to give it a try, you know what to do.

Kindles are known for their reading capabilities, but with the Kindle Scribe, you get that and a whole lot more. With a wide range of writing features, you can take notes, create sketches and brainstorm like a pro. I use it every day and love the 10.2-inch glare-free screen that has its own ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness automatically, and I can't complain about its battery life either. Please note that the base 16GB model is no longer available in either colour variant.

Despite the discount, the ViWoods AiPaper is still an expensive tablet, but it more than earns its keep by offering plenty of productivity features on a display that's easy on the eyes. You get the choice of two AI assistants for various tasks, including voice-to-text or handwriting-to-text conversion, plus full access to the Google Play Store. Read my 4.5-star review for the full scoop. There's been a better 33% discount previously, but I love this E Ink tablet too much to not list it here, plus you get a magnetic case and stylus bundled into the price.
Prefer a smaller tablet? The 8-inch ViWoods AiPaper Mini gets you the exact same functionality, just in a smaller form factor, and a 42% discount that drops the price to AU$999.99 AU$579.99 – the lowest price yet.
Power banks & chargers

This compact mid-sized power bank is a great option for fast charging your phone on longer trips where a smaller capacity power bank won't cut it. The T2055 is one of our top-rated options in our best power bank buyers guide, and is a sweet deal at this price, which is just a dollar more than the Black Friday offer.

Hate carrying cables? This handy little accessory doesn't need them, as it's able to deliver a charge to your iPhone (12 or later) using the magnetic MagSafe tech on the back. The 5,000 mAh capacity is enough to bring most iPhones from 20% back to a full charge, and it’s small enough to slip in a pocket. This is just AU$10 more than the sale price from October's Prime Day sale.
Read moreRead less▼
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.
Read moreRead less▼
With two USB-C ports accompanying a single USB-A socket, this Anker charger has a higher 65W output than cheaper models. This isn't the cheapest it's been, but it's still highly recommendable at this price.
Read moreRead less▼
A 100W charger might seem overkill, but if you’re thinking of simultaneously charging a laptop, phone, set of earbuds and a smartwatch, this is certainly a device to consider. The two top-most USB-C ports can output at a maximum of 100W, while the bottom USB-C port delivers up to 30W and the USB-A port up to 22.5W.

This is one 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. And the black and white variants are cheaper now thanks to a small AU$5.01 coupon.

This is a fantastic deal on Sony's flagship in-ears. With very good sound, incredible comfort, and some of the best battery life on any earbuds with ANC, the WF-1000XM5 are a steal at this price.
Read moreRead less▼
These older QC buds might lack the flagship features on the more expensive Bose buds, but you still get very good noise cancellation, and an unbelievably comfortable and secure fit. There's solid battery life and a feature-packed app, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are nothing short of exemplary. While we have seen them cheaper in the past (AU$164 in March), this is still a great deal.
Read moreRead less▼
45% off these fantastic buds is definitely a deal worth checking out what has been one of the best true wireless buds until the second-generation was released. Its ANC performance is par excellence and, being Bose, it doesn't compromise on sound either. Standout is the feature called Immersive Audio that makes a huge difference if you like your music 'surrounding' you.
Read moreRead less▼
Offering “incredible sound”, 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 there’s also up to seven hours of play time and up to 48 hours of standby time. They simply just work and work very well. While the discount here is good, they were going cheaper at a 37% markdown on the Moonstone Blue and Iridescent Sunset colourways in October.

Despite being succeeded by two more generations, the XM4s are still some of the best over-ear headphones you can buy. Delivering a beautiful soundstage that includes a confident low end, they're comfy and even fold down for travel. My colleagues and I have been big fans for a long time and we still can't recommend these highly enough.
Read moreRead less▼
Nearly as good as the premium QuietComfort Ultra, the SC misses out on the Immersive Audio mode. There'll also be a little difference in sound quality as they process sound differently, but it's still excellent, as is the ANC performance. You'll also get a soft case for this foldable headphone. While we often see the QuietComfort SC discounted – this is sadly not the best price we've seen, which was AU$237 back in October – this is still an excellent bargain.

In our 4.5-star AKG N9 Hybrid review, we praised them for their superb audio quality and included USB-C dongle that allows any compatible device to stream in higher-resolution codecs.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are comfortably the best when it comes to active noise-cancellation, their sound quality is nothing short of exquisite, and the ability to turn any song into a spatial audio one thanks to Immersive Mode earns it another gold star.

Admittedly this isn't a fantastic price, but not listing a discounted premium Apple product just doesn't feel right considering how popular they can be. Sure, Apple's in-ear buds are arguably even more popular, but the cans are also coveted and this 14% discount on the black and Starlight (AU$778) variants might entice someone if they've been eyeing it a while.

Bluetooth speakers don't come more portable than the JBL Clip 5. It has a built-in carabiner clip that can latch onto virtually anything you wish, and despite its small size, it's capable of putting on a loud, lively sound. Extra features include an IP67 waterproof rating and an adjustable EQ.
Read moreRead less▼
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. Note that some colours may have a AU$5.01 coupon added as well.

Clean, detailed sound, full protection against dust and water and all packaged in a gorgeous body, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a Bluetooth speaker you'll want to take with you everywhere you go. Nearly all the colourways were going for AU$152 in July, so this offer isn't bad. Just note that only the blue is listed at this price but the others come down to AU$152.99 via a coupon.
Read moreRead less▼
This floatable Bluetooth speaker is perfect for the poolside party, with up to 15 hours of playtime and very decent 45m connectivity range. It promises bassy, punchy and yet a clear 360º soundstage. And all four colourways listed on Amazon are going for the same discount.
Read moreRead less▼
As we found in our LG xboom Grab review, the South Korean's re-entry to Bluetooth speakers is largely a success, as this portable model does an awful lot to pose a genuine challenge to JBL. Not only does it sound superb, but it's packed with features, including integrated straps for connecting to surfaces and a beat-matching LED light.

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.

This visually stunning Bluetooth home speaker is the previous generation (a Studio 5 has been released), but it's still delivers 360º bassy rumbles the Aura series is known for. That's thanks to six outward-firing 40mm drivers with 15W of power each. However, it supports only Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity which, in 2025, can feel unstable compared to the latest standard.
Read moreRead less▼
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. And all three colour options are going cheaper than what we saw during both Prime Day sales this year.
Home entertainment & Hi-Fi

This upgraded model of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best-value streaming devices, especially for Amazon customers who appreciate Alexa. It supports 4K ultra HD resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus and Dolby Atmos audio – plus cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Use it to access popular streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and more.

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, but this is still a great deal.
Read moreRead less▼
The Amazon Fire TV Cube combines all the benefits of a streaming device with Alexa support. It works as a smart speaker so you can control your smart home devices with it, but it also provides access to every streaming app you can think of. Throw in Dolby Vision, HDR, and Dolby Atmos, and it’s everything you could want. So why not grab a streaming device that's also a smart speaker?

This Sony Bluetooth turntable is as fuss-free as they come with regard to setup and getting your favourite vinyl records spinning. Whether you're playing via wired or wireless speakers, it delivers a delightfully musical sound that will satisfy vinyl beginners or those looking for a more hands-off approach. Now cheaper than its sale price thanks to a small AU$5.01 coupon.

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.

In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we said this soundbar rivals the Sonos Arc – the best Sonos soundbar on offer. Now back down to its Black Friday discount, the Smart Ultra is compact, beautifully built, and offers plenty of control options to go with its wide, detailed sound.

The Sennheiser Ambeo Max soundbar is designed to fill an entire room with rich audio, capable of outputting up to 500 watts of power through its 30Hz speakers. It has in-built Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect functionality for when you want music on in the background, and its 3D sound can adjust to the characteristics of your room. It's a special soundbar, but do note that it is a big unit.

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 AU$100 cheaper than what it was during the July Prime Day sale.
Laptops & PC peripherals

Not the cheapest price (that was AU$69), but 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.

This wireless mono colour laser printer is often sold around the AU$160 mark, and has been further discounted down to AU$130 or so. So this is a slightly disappointing discount in comparison, but still a great buy for a simple yet effective black-and-white laser printer. It comes with toner, but you can also grab a higher capacity cartridge for AU$35.99. Make sure to click the AU$10 coupon to get the full discount.

If you’re been in the market for fast portable storage, the Samsung T7 might be exactly what you've been looking for.

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.
Read moreRead less▼
This TP-Link Deco XE75 mesh system is great for smaller homes or apartments, as its Wi-Fi 6E tri-band connectivity allows it to better avoid congestion by using the newly unlocked 6GHz band, plus it has a range of improved technologies that better handle crowded airwaves.
Read moreRead less▼
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.
Fitness trackers & smartwatches
Read moreRead less▼
We called it "the best running watch ever" back in 2022 and its five-star Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review supports that statement. It might not be in our guide to the best Garmin any longer because it's been succeeded by a fair few new Garmins, but it's no longer priced like it with this deal, either – making it a great pick.
Read moreRead less▼
The 'S' in the name stands for 'small', meaning this specific Garmin was made for petite wrists and features a 42mm vibrant OLED display. This offer is also available in only one colourway – the black/yellow combo – but you're getting a heck of a lot here for your money. Multiband GPS, an intuitive menu navigation, excellent battery life, plenty of Garmin fitness features... and, oh, did I mention the OLED display?
Cameras

This point-and-shoot camera fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, and makes content creation as easy as possible. You quite literally just need to point and shoot. There are just a few control buttons on the rear, but the tiny 2-inch flip-up touchscreen adds functionality too. It's capable of 4K/30p videos and 20MP stills.
Read moreRead less▼
The retail price of this waterproof and rugged camera is AU$699, so you are essentially getting a 16% discount here. While it's not a huge upgrade over the previous model, the TG-6 is no longer available to buy, making this the best choice if you'd like a near-indestructible camera that you can take underwater. It might even make a good Christmas prezzie for a budding photographer.
Read moreRead less▼
It might not have a viewfinder or image stabilisation, but this affordable camera is still very good for a beginner. It sports a 20.3MP APS-C format sensor with decent autofocus performance and the ability to shoot 11fps continuously and it comes with a kit lens. In fact, this kit retails for around AU$1,599 at some camera stores, so this is actually a better discount and beats the Prime Big Deal Days price by a huge margin.
Read moreRead less▼
Don't be fooled by Amazon's original listed price on this kit because it's lower than its street price (which is what I've listed here). So it's a better 24% discount to be honest. This 20.9MP APS-C retro-styled camera is also quite the workhorse, perfect for hobbyists and enthusiasts to take on their next travel adventure. And the two lenses in the kit is more than what most users would need.
Read moreRead less▼
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. Please note, however, that this is a third-party offer.

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.

This 24.6MP full-frame camera 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. And this is a great offer, only coming via a third-party reseller on Amazon.
Dash cams

Holding a spot on our list of the best dash cams, the Vantrue E1 is super compact, yet is capable of recording clear, detailed footage day and night. A comprehensive mobile, PC and Mac app allows for easy footage transfers and built-in GPS ensures you know exactly where any incidents take place. Be sure to check the coupon box to get this price at checkout.

Looking to make more room on your desk? 65% keyboards are all the rage these days, and this from Asus streamlines things even further thanks to its low profile optical switches.

AU$22 more than it was on Black Friday (November 28), my colleagues who have tried this headset still recommend 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.

This 32-inch affair is one of our fave gaming monitors, and if you don't trust me check out the 92 / 100 review from PC Gamer. The display uses Samsung's QD-OLED tech and pumps out a sharp 4K resolution with an uber-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support. You can also get it direct from Dell for AU$1,244.29 using the code FUTURE11% at checkout.

Gaming on a budget? You can't argue with this option. It has an advertised 10 million click lifespan, and a 6,400 DPI, which is plenty snappy for most people, even if its not the highest we've ever seen.

Looking for the best gaming experience possible on the PS5? If you take your console gaming seriously, we said in our DualSense Edge review that "the best gets slightly better".

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.

Widely considered a return to form – we agree! Awarding it four stars in our Battlefield 6 review, we fell in love with its fun multiplayer (though its campaign is middling). Just weeks after it launched, this AU$40 discount makes it incredibly attractive.

"One of the best games I’ve played this year" is what our tester had to say in our Ghost of Yotei review. Its as stylish as the original – from cinematography to its map – with a beautiful, dense world, top-tier environmental design and an intriguing story to go with its incredibly smooth combat.

Everyone's favourite open-world Mafia drama series returns, as we head back to Italy to learn the origins of the family we know. It left us wanting more, but sometimes that's a good thing.

Do you want to ride a dragon, become a sausage and sizzle on a bbq or beat a monkey in a dance battle? Split fiction offers all that and a whole heap more. We fell in love with its (almost) endless array of game mechanics, stunning level design and epic crescendo that seamlessly blends cinematics and gameplay in our Split Fiction review. In terms of co-op gaming, it doesn't get better.

Launched locally exactly a year ago, the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off two AA batteries.

The Echo Pop was down to just AU$29 during Black Friday 2024, but this is still a great price. If you want a simple speaker that you can control with your voice, this is it.

Give your home a doorbell and gain some peace of mind with the Ring Video Doorbell (Battery). As the name would suggest, it has a built-in rechargeable battery, meaning you don't have to have an electrician install it for you. That said, you do have the option of wiring it into your home's electrical system if you so choose. It provides 24/7 video capture in crystal clear 1080p HD and is an easy way to upgrade your home security.

Typically cheaper than most other smart home systems, this battery-powered Tapo smart doorbell offers 2K colour footage via a 5MP lens, even at night. You get head-to-toe views and it allows you to record a response if you don't want to talk to anyone at your door. It also boasts IP67 waterproofing and a decent 180-day battery life. Note that the retail price is much higher than what Amazon has listed on the product page.

I think this is a beautiful-looking smart lamp – an elevated version of the Philips Hue Go 2, if you like. Only the copper version is discounted, and it displays both white and coloured light. It's Bluetooth compatible, so just needs the Hue app and you're ready to set up an ambiance in any room – although I think this one should be in the living room to be shown off.

The price of what is one of the best video doorbells you can get in Australia has been fluctuating a lot on Amazon, and it's been down to AU$145 previously. Still, you can't ignore a discount of any kind. It's easy to install, offers clear footage even at night and features facial recognition. Recording automatically begins when motion is detected, or when its button is pressed, plus it will let you know when packages have been left outside your door.

The Echo Hub has dropped to AU$189 before, but if you're looking for an Alexa smart home control centre, this is still good value. This 8-inch smart display will need to be wall-mounted and it gives you control of thousands of smart home devices that work over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other connectivity standards like Zigbee, Matter and Thread. You can stream video, even security footage, start routines, add widgets and a heck of a lot more you can't with a regular Echo Show.
Vacuum cleaners

Scoring almost five stars in our Shark Detect Pro Cordless vacuum cleaner review, we called this vacuum "a wonder". Versatile, powerful, offering automatic power adjustment and equally good at cleaning hard floors as it is on carpet, this is one of the best vacuums on the market, at a stellar price. It was a smidge over AU$508 during Prime Big Deal Days, making this its best price yet and supremely good value.

Soaring onto our best vacuum cleaner and best cordless vacuum lists after its release, the V15s Detect Submarine impresses with its ability to mop and vacuum while staying true to the fantastic and versatile cordless design Dyson has become known for. Offering up to 60 minutes of cleaning time with a replaceable battery pack, and powerful suction up to 240 Air Watts (AW), your carpets will be spotless and your hard floors will be shiny. Its one flaw is that dirty water can splash out when you take the Submarine attachment to a sink to be cleaned out, so be careful. Get the extra AU$10 off by using the coupon checkbox below the price.

In our Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni review, in which it scored an impressive 4.5-star score, we called it a "chatty all-in-one robot vacuum that cleans better than most others".

When it comes to innovation in robot vacuums, I think the latest flagship in the Ecovacs range is the highlight. It's the world's first robovac to have fast-charging capabilities so it can work for longer, plus its base station completely does away with dust bags, reducing your ongoing costs. It can even wash the roller mop while it's fully soaked in hot water. It's still an expensive robot vacuum, but there's nothing quite like it right now – not at this price.
Coffee machines

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. Note that there's a AU$5.01 coupon for you to opt into for this price.

We rate the Vertuo Creatista as the best Nespresso machine out there thanks to its use of the Vertuo pods, which come in a range of cup and mug sizes and an integrated milk frother. It performs exceptionally well, too, and will brew your morning cuppa in no time at all. Note there's a coupon checkbox below the price to apply an extra AU$10 discount.

This Philips bean-to-cup machine can make 12 coffee-based drinks, all of which are delicious brews time after time. We did find its milk foaming skills weren't the best in our LatteGo 4400 Series review, but this is a great price for what is ultimately a great machine. The last time this was discounted (in October), it proved to be a bestseller.
Air fryers

This air fryer offers fantastic value for money at this price – snagging you a decent 4.7L capacity that allows you to cook entire meals for small groups of people. It's also easy to use with preset cooking modes and uses dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleaning.

We haven't tested Philips' dual basket air fryer, but considering how much we've loved the brand's other kitchen appliances, it's hard to not make a mention of this offer. This 9L air fryer has drawers of different sizes, which makes it easy to cook a main and a side together, and promises to sync cooking times if needed.

This Ninja kitchen appliance combines a grill and an air fryer in one machine. We liked it so much that we gave it 4.5 stars in our Ninja Smart XL Grille and Air Fryer review. The latest model comes with the same presets as the DG551, but boasts a sleeker, more slimline design. Customer reviews on the listing praise its impressive features, meat-turning reminders and that it's easy to clean.

Ever cooked with steam in an air fryer? Now you can with this Philips two-drawer air fryer. In my Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam review, I 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 and you have the space for it, even though it's not as good a discount as I've previously seen. The full discount here includes an AU$10.20 coupon that you can click under the price.

This discount is great value if you need a powerful blender for your liquid breakfast needs. In fact, it will even come in handy if you want to use it as a regular blender to make sauces, dips and small batches of soup. This model has a 900W motor and comes with a single 700ml cup.

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, although the price has risen since the start of Amazon's current sale.

While we haven't tested the Vitamix Ascent 2300i for ourselves here at TechRadar, our colleagues at T3 love it, calling it a "real quality blender that will last longer than most things in your home" in their review. The only downside was the asking price. The Slate Grey model was slightly cheaper (AU$690) earlier in Amazon's Black Friday sale, but as that's now sold out, the next best option is black or red.
Personal care

There was a bigger discount last month on what is one of the top electric toothbrushes, but I think this price will still make you smile. It's a smart brush that harnesses the power of AI to recognise your personal brushing style and provide feedback to improve it. The feedback you'll get via the companion app. It also features a pressure sensor and an interactive display, plus comes with a magnetic charging stand.

It was AU$450 (but without the carry case) on Amazon for Black Friday, but I dare say this offer will tempt someone who wants the best hair dryer money can buy. There are a plethora of sensors here that make sure your scalp remains healthy, automatically adjusting heat and airflow depending on how far away the dryer is from your head. You also get a bunch of magnetic attachments for a styled blow dry too.

If you've got long hair that you've been keen to keep styled every day, now might be a good time to pick up the popular Airwrap. This discount is on the variant for long hair, so be sure the barrel size is meant for you. While it's been a lot cheaper in the past – it was cheaper since November 18 – it's been hard to find good discounts on any Airwrap variant recently, which could make this an enticing purchase for some.

This is Dyson's latest version of the Airwrap and it's a whole lot better than previous iteration. As we said in our Dyson Airwrap i.d. review, this multi-styler creates effortless curls at the touch of a customisable button, in combination with powerful airflow. Plus, with the attachments included, it doubles as a hair dryer, making this the only tool you need in your bathroom.

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
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.
