This 43-inch LED TV has 4K resolution, HDR and a 50Hz refresh rate, as well as 7 years of software support. It's not the fanciest TV but for just over NZ$500, this one's hard to pass up.

Dyson V8 Origin
Save 43% (NZ$301)
Dyson V8 Origin: was NZ$699 now NZ$398 at Dyson Australia

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.

Ninja Luxe Café Premier espresso machine
Save 50% (NZ$554.99)
Ninja Luxe Café Premier espresso machine: was NZ$1,099.99 now NZ$545 at PBTech NZ

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.

Save 34% (NZ$203.01)
Eufy eufyCam 2C Pro: was NZ$599 now NZ$395.99 at PBTech NZ

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.

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14-inch
Save 21% (NZ$800)
HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14-inch: was NZ$3,899 now NZ$3,099 at HP Store New Zealand

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.

Other deals still available

Dyson V10 Konical
Save 20% (NZ$171)
Dyson V10 Konical: was NZ$869 now NZ$698 at Dyson Australia

Dyson's V10 stick vacuum got a refresh last month, adding the new conical floorhead and making it compatible with the company's self-emptying dock. A discount like this for a brand-new Dyson is an easy Mother's Day win.

HP  Omen Transcend 14-inch laptop
Save 23% (NZ$1,300)
HP Omen Transcend 14-inch laptop: was NZ$5,699 now NZ$4,399 at HP Store New Zealand

This gaming laptop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU and a whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM. At a time of RAM and storage shortages, a discount for a laptop with these specs is hard to overlook.

Ninja Foodi Max air fryer
Save 40% (NZ$220)
Ninja Foodi Max air fryer: was NZ$549.99 now NZ$329.99 at Ninja New Zealand

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.

Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Compact Pro
Save 20% (NZ$50)
Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Compact Pro: was NZ$249.99 now NZ$199.99 at Shark New Zealand

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.

Dyson V15 Detect Absolute
Save 37% (NZ$570)
Dyson V15 Detect Absolute: was NZ$1,549 now NZ$979 at Dyson Australia

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 benefitting from a well-designed and high quality build, this premium vacuum is a steal thanks to this discount.

Save 40% (NZ$1,140)
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (14-inch): was NZ$2,839 now NZ$1,699 at Lenovo NZ

LG C5 (42-inch)
Save 36% (NZ$966)
LG C5 (42-inch): was NZ$2,651 now NZ$1,685 at PBTech NZ

The LG C5 is our favourite TV here at TechRadar, thanks to its excellent picture quality and competitive price point. This size would make it more suited for gaming, and the 144Hz refresh rate makes it even better for that use case. This discount makes this TV a hard one to pass up if you don't need a full-sized for your living room.

Lego Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle
Save 41% (NZ$275)
Lego Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle: was NZ$674 now NZ$399 at Mighty Ape

Can't wait for the official HBO Max launch in NZ this year to watch the new Harry Potter TV series? Perhaps this discounted Hogwarts Lego set would tide you over in the meantime. This 6,020-piece set will keep you busy enough until the HBO Max launch, and it looks great in person, too.

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (40mm)
Use code MUM26
Save 23% (NZ$140)
Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (40mm): was NZ$599 now NZ$459 at Samsung NZ

We call the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 "unequivocally the best mainline Galaxy Watch in ages" thanks to its new design and advanced health, sleep and AI features. Use the code MUM26 at checkout to get this price.

Apple AirPods 4
Save 6% (NZ$15)
Apple AirPods 4: was NZ$249 now NZ$234 at PBTech NZ

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$294.

Dyson Pencilvac fluffycones
Save 10% (NZ$100)
Dyson Pencilvac fluffycones: was NZ$1,049 now NZ$949 at Dyson Australia

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.

HP OmniBook X Flip 16-inch laptop
Save 30% (NZ$1,157)
HP OmniBook X Flip 16-inch laptop: was NZ$3,856 now NZ$2,699 at HP Store New Zealand

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.

Ninja DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L 2 Drawer Air Fryer
Save 34% (NZ$200)
Ninja DoubleStack XXXL 9.5L 2 Drawer Air Fryer: was NZ$579.99 now NZ$379.99 at Ninja New Zealand

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.

Samsung Galaxy Watch7 44mm (LTE, Khaki)
Use code SUPER
Save 45% (NZ$290)
Samsung Galaxy Watch7 44mm (LTE, Khaki): was NZ$649 now NZ$359 at PBTech NZ

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.

Secretlab Magnus Pro
Save 18% (NZ$270)
Secretlab Magnus Pro: was NZ$1,539 now NZ$1,269 at Secretlab

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.

Apple AirPods Pro 3
Use code PBDEAL
Save 13% (NZ$62)
Apple AirPods Pro 3: was NZ$479 now NZ$417 at PBTech NZ

Apple's latest noise-cancelling buds represent a significant upgrade from the AirPods Pro 2, but at full price they’re significantly more expensive. This discount takes care of that nicely (although if you're a Pro 2 user it's not worth the upgrade). New features in this model include a heart-rate monitor and even better ANC than before. I personally also think they're the best-fitting AirPods Apple has made to date.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell
Save 50% (NZ$94.34)
Ring Battery Video Doorbell: was NZ$189.96 now NZ$95.62 at Amazon

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.

HP OmniBook 3
Save 40% (NZ$1,000)
HP OmniBook 3: was NZ$2,499 now NZ$1,499 at HP Store New Zealand

HP is discounting a slew of laptops and peripherals for its EOFY sale in New Zealand, and this 14-inch OmniBook 3 caught my eye not only due to the 36% off discount, but also for its hardware. For NZ$1,599, getting a Ryzen 7-powered laptop with 16GB of DDR5 RAM is a steal given the current RAM shortage. It’s a great Windows 11 laptop that would suit any student or remote/hybrid office worker.

Ninja Creami ice cream maker NC300
Save 51% (NZ$202.01)
Ninja Creami ice cream maker NC300: was NZ$397 now NZ$194.99 at PBTech NZ

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.

Ninja Professional Food Processor
Save 35% (NZ$70)
Ninja Professional Food Processor: was NZ$199.99 now NZ$129.99 at Ninja New Zealand

If you’re looking to step up your cooking repertoire, this food processor from Ninja has a powerful 1,000W motor that can easily mix dough, slice food, puree soups and more. It's also a compact gadget, yet is supplied with a large 2L jug for extra capacity. This discount makes this food processor a great option for uni students on a tight budget.

Samsung The Frame 55-inch 4K TV
Save 8% (NZ$190)
Samsung The Frame 55-inch 4K TV: was NZ$2,288 now NZ$2,098 at PBTech NZ

This TV from Samsung aims to be more of a fashion-forward addition to your living space rather than a conventional 4K TV. Samsung’s The Frame has a burnished metal frame, encasing the LCD panel and various vents along the sides, which makes the TV look just like a slim picture frame when mounted on a wall. This TV came out a few years ago, hence the relatively steep discount, but if this TV is up your alley then this deal might just be tempting enough.

Ugreen 2-in-1 MagFlow charging stand
Save 30% (NZ$21.97)
Ugreen 2-in-1 MagFlow charging stand: was NZ$72.93 now NZ$50.96 at Amazon

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.

Meross Mini Smart Plug (2 Pack)
Save 21% (NZ$9.60)
Meross Mini Smart Plug (2 Pack): was NZ$44.97 now NZ$35.37 at Amazon

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.

Ugreen 65W Nexode 3-port USB-C charger
Save 33% (NZ$20.95)
Ugreen 65W Nexode 3-port USB-C charger: was NZ$63 now NZ$42.05 at Amazon

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.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB (2024)
Save 12% (NZ$48.93)
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB (2024): was NZ$404.65 now NZ$355.72 at Amazon

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.

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft (16GB)
Save 19% (NZ$95.04)
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft (16GB): was NZ$489 now NZ$393.96 at Amazon

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.

Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024; 32GB)
Save 31% (NZ$262.55)
Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024; 32GB): was NZ$835 now NZ$572.45 at Amazon

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.

Shokz OpenRun
Save 17% (NZ$43.02)
Shokz OpenRun : was NZ$258.50 now NZ$215.48 at Amazon

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.

JBL Flip 7
Save 28% (NZ$55.95)
JBL Flip 7: was NZ$199.95 now NZ$144 at Mighty Ape

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.

Logitech Lift (Black; PC)
Save 35% (NZ$62.12)
Logitech Lift (Black; PC): was NZ$179 now NZ$116.88 at Amazon

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.

Fujifilm X-E5 (body)
Save 19% (NZ$550.28)
Fujifilm X-E5 (body): was NZ$2,899 now NZ$2,348.72 at Amazon

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.

Nikon Z6 III (body)
Save 19% (NZ$859.49)
Nikon Z6 III (body): was NZ$4,529 now NZ$3,669.51 at Amazon

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.

Insta360 GO 3S (standalone camera; 64GB)
Save 14% (NZ$50)
Insta360 GO 3S (standalone camera; 64GB): was NZ$369 now NZ$319 at PBTech NZ

"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.

Grand Theft Auto V (PS5)
Save 39% (NZ$23.30)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS5): was NZ$59 now NZ$35.70 at Amazon

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.

Philips  Hue LightStrip Plus
Save 70% (NZ$125.03)
Philips Hue LightStrip Plus: was NZ$179 now NZ$53.97 at PBTech NZ

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.

Govee Envisual TV LED backlight
Save 45% (NZ$126.02)
Govee Envisual TV LED backlight: was NZ$279 now NZ$152.98 at Amazon

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.

Philips Series 7000 all-in-one multigroomer (MG7950/15)
Save 41% (NZ$107)
Philips Series 7000 all-in-one multigroomer (MG7950/15): was NZ$259.99 now NZ$152.99 at Amazon

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.
