Like a truffle pig for deals, I've sniffed out the top 55+ discounts in Amazon's new Big Smile Sale
Save on audio gear, vacuums, kitchen appliances, smart home devices and more
What began as a quiet morning this Monday has turned into a rather hectic afternoon of deal hunting on Amazon. That's because the online retail giant kicked off its 2026 edition of the Big Smile Sale at 12pm AEDT today (March 16) and it will run through to 11:59pm AEDT on Sunday, March 22.
• Shop all Amazon Big Smile Sale deals
That's right, shoppers, another week-long Amazon sale means there will be plenty of savings across the board. So it's a good time to stock up on pantry essentials or grab a new pair of shoes.
• Sonos – up to AU$850 off speakers and soundbars
• Kogan – 20th anniversary sale
• Samsung – March Secret Sale
• Secretlab – up to AU$159 off in Autumn Sale
At TechRadar, we're more concerned with, well, tech. So, if you missed out on anything during Christmas or Boxing Day, now would be a good time to satisfy that itch. The next Amazon sale is a way away — that would be the Mid-Year Sale in June that coincides with Australia's EOFY sales. After that, it will be the biggest Amazon sale of the year — Prime Day, which is typically held in July.
There are plenty of standout deals on day one of the sale — from a plethora of headphones and fantastic Bluetooth speakers to budget phones, smart home devices and appliances — and I'll make sure this page is kept updated with new offers as and when my colleagues or I spot them.
What was missing this Amazon sale were the Kindle deals and that's not new. It happened last year too, with barely any good Kindle Black Friday deals, which was rather surprising... and rather disappointing too. Hopefully the next sale will bring better offers on Amazon's own devices, but until then, there are still plenty of items listed below that are worth your attention.

Elevate your home entertainment experience with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus. This nifty gadget plugs into any TV's HDMI port and allows you to stream Netflix, Binge, Prime Video and more, all from an Alexa-enabled remote. Note that the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is a new name for the Fire TV Stick 4K, but they are otherwise identical.

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, so hopefully Amazon will drop the price a little more this week.

Read our review for the full scoop, but the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off batteries. It comes with an easy-to-use app and fairly good camera quality via a 1080p lens, and can store video when paired with a Blink Sync module. And while it was just AU$39 for Black Friday, it's still a decent buy.

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.

There are video doorbells aplenty, but this one stands apart from the crowd by allowing you to see more. It promises to show you a head-to-toe image of who's at your door, and will do so in colour even at night. It also features motion detection and two-way talk. If you get a Ring Protection subscription, you'll also get notifications when a package being delivered is within a specified zone.

The Echo Hub is now at the lowest price we have seen, and is a solid deal. 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.

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 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.

The B6 is the top rated budget option in our best power banks buyer's guide and outperforms much more expensive models. Ignore the listed RRP — AU$29.99 is the normal price, which makes this a decent saving.

Everyone needs more USB cables, and one of my favourite brands is Ugreen. This deal is for a two pack of the most popular 1m cables — back to a price that's equal to the lowest we have seen before. Ugreen has loads of USB cables that are currently discounted, so it's well worth a look. I especially like the 3m long cables, and have one by the couch for charging my phone or laptop.
Read moreRead less▼
This is just AU$1 more than the lowest price I have seen for the Ugreen Mini 30W charger, and it's a great buy. The charger is extremely compact, which makes it an ideal choice to leave in a bag as a backup option. It can fast charge most phones and with 20V output, even top up a laptop if needed.
Read moreRead less▼
This neat little charger doesn’t take up much space and offers USB-A and USB-C ports, capable of fast charging most base model phones from Apple, Google and Samsung. It won’t achieve the maximum wattage requirements of fast charging on more high-end models (such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at 37W, or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus/Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max at 45W), but it’s a handy travel solution.
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▼
A 100W charger is a must have for many beefier laptops, or fast charging multiple devices, and Ugreen is a brand we trust. We often see it around this price, but it's still a great buy.
Read moreRead less▼
This compact yet powerful little power bank is at one of the best prices we have seen. Read our review for more insight, but it's a great option for those who want to be able to super fast charge a phone on the go.
Want a slimmer option? Iniu also has a AU$29.99 version without the screen that's just 1.8cm thick.
Read moreRead less▼
This Ugreen portable charger is currently one of the top rated options in our power bank buyer's guide. It can charge at up to 145W, and has dual USB-C ports, plus USB-A. The 100W / 20,000 mAh version of this power bank is also discounted to AU$69.99.
Read moreRead less▼
The Anker 737 gets excellent results in our best power banks guide, and has a 140W output, a 24,000 mAh capacity (86.4Wh, so flight safe) and an excellent 85% efficiency. This price is cheaper than it has been for months, and better than Black Friday and Boxing Day.

Samsung's alternative to Apple's AirTag was redesigned in 2023 and has been reasonably well received, making it a good Bluetooth tracker for non-Apple users. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it works with Android. It was a few dollars cheaper during Black Friday, but this price is still worth a look.
Want a few of these? The 4-pack is down to AU$86, which means a single SmartTag is AU$21.50.
Read moreRead less▼
If you've been looking for a set of tracking tags perfect for the Apple ecosystem, AirTags are your best bet, and although this discount isn't much, it's typical for Apple products. They hit AU$133 in the lead-up to Black Friday, and AU$132 on Boxing Day, and this even better deal is the cheapest we have seen.
Headphones & speakers

This is one of the best budget earbuds (though we have seen them under AU$70 before) 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.
Read moreRead less▼
In our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, we said they are "best cheap noise-cancelling earbuds you can get". Which makes the current deal well worth checking out if you are after a cheap but comfy pair that has ANC. The current discount is the same as what we saw on Black Friday and Boxing Day, and a worthy buy.

We may not have tested these buds ourselves here at TechRadar, but it’s hard to ignore the 97K customer reviews on Amazon. While often discounted to this price, if you’re after dependable Bluetooth buds on a budget, these are a great option.

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.

Our 1More Sonoflow review praised the comfort of the headphones, as well as the excellent active noise cancelling and up to 70 hours of battery life. Make sure you click the 21% off coupon, as it brings the headphones down to the equal lowest price we have seen, and cheaper than during Black Friday.
Read moreRead less▼
These earbuds have been selling at this discounted price on and off since Black Friday, but it's still near to the cheapest we have seen so worth checking out. Read our review for more info, but standout is the feature called Immersive Audio that makes a huge difference if you like your music 'surrounding' you.

While not much of a reduction, this is the biggest Amazon discount so far on Apple's latest noise-cancelling buds. So if you've been keen to upgrade from an older pair of AirPods 2 or 3, they are worth a look. If you're a Pro 2 user, though, it's not worth the upgrade. Check out our review for the full story, but the new features include heart-rate monitoring and even better ANC than before.

Read our review to get the full story, but if swimming is your thing, the Shokz OpenSwim Pro 2 are excellent for listening to tunes while doing laps. Apart from being IP68 water resistant, they offer 9 hours of listening time and 32GB of storage for MP3s, plus can connect via Bluetooth for use out of the pool.
Read moreRead less▼
We don't typically see much of a discount on Apple products, though this discount isn't quite as good as during Boxing Day or Black Friday. Read our review for the full story, but they offer a beautiful soundstage, as well as dynamic head tracking and a battery life of up to five hours on a single charge or 30 hours with the included carry case.
You can also grab the AirPods 4 without noise cancellation, but the current AU$178 price is well above the AU$159 they were during Black Friday. Not sure if you need ANC? Check out our review to learn more.

Check out our Charge 6 review for the full scoop, but this powerful, portable speaker can run for up to 28 hours and even be used as a power bank to top up your devices via its USB-C port. Sound quality is pretty good, plus it’s built to withstand virtually anything you wish to throw at it.
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. While this isn't the best price we've seen, it's still a discount we can get behind.
Appliances

Currently at the lowest price we have seen on Amazon, this big air fryer has multiple accessories to keep clean, but there's no denying this Sunbeam unit is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It's capable of cooking in separate zones, complete with separate trays to maximise the space or one huge 11.4L zone. Food is roasted to perfection, whether it's a full chicken or small portions of fries or vegetables.

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.
Read moreRead less▼
A staple in many a kitchen in Australia for yonks, this is every baker's must-have appliance. It has been cheaper on Amazon previously, but we think this 37% is still worth considering, although only the Matte Black and Almond Cream colour options get this low price.

It's our favourite budget vacuum cleaner, taking up a spot in our best cordless stick vacuum buying guide even though we've not been able to test it ourselves. User reviews are glowing though, and we trust the people who love this machine. While we have seen it as low as AU$208 (during Black Friday), for quick and daily vacuuming, this is a great deal.
Read moreRead less▼
Why settle for a single vacuum cleaner or separate machines when you can have multiple cleaners in one? As we explain in our review, 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.
Read moreRead less▼
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". Its biggest drawback is its regular price, but this deal takes care of that — letting you enjoy its strong suction, efficient edge cleaning, effective mopping and smart navigation. Note that while this is the cheapest price we have seen, it's sold by a third party, not direct from Amazon itself.

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.
Read moreRead less▼
This Roborock wet-dry vacuum will leave your hard floors sparkling clean thanks to powerful suction and effective cleaning. It can get up close to edges and the whole body can lay completely flat to help get underneath tricky to reach places. This is the best price we've seen on this wet washer too. Read our review for more info.

This robovac has some of the best obstacle avoidance we have seen in a robovac and it scored 4 stars in our Dreame X40 Ultra review. Even better, many of the complaints we had at the time (such as the slightly clunky app) have been fixed.
Read moreRead less▼
While we have seen it slightly cheaper, this is one of the better deals we have seen for the Creami lately. Read our review for more info, but you can think of it as the Creami’s upgraded sibling. It handles everything the original model does, then goes further with a built-in soft-serve unit featuring six dedicated programs.

Breville's compact manual espresso machine is perennially popular, and it's also fairly regularly discounted in Amazon's big sales. This Boxing Day discount is fairly typical, but we've only seen it cheaper once in 2025, when it briefly (and somewhat randomly) dropped to AU$349 in May. If you want a coffee machine that does both shots and milk, this one is a reliable performer that doesn't take up much counter space, though do note it doesn't include a grinder.
Phones & tablets

If you’re looking to upgrade your older iPhone model without spending big on an iPhone 17, the iPhone 16e is an excellent choice, especially with this discount. We think it’s the better option over the discounted iPhone 15. Despite its solo camera, it offers incredible battery life and modern features like Apple Intelligence and the Action button. Even better, it's currently at the lowest price we have seen.

The latest in Samsung's well-received budget tablet range, the A11 picks up where the A9 left off, and at the same price too. This is the base model, with just Wi-Fi connectivity and 128GB of storage, but you can expand that easily to up to 2TB via a microSD card. If you need an Android tablet for daily use like browsing, watching videos and maybe playing a few games, this one's well worth considering.
Read moreRead less▼
It's not a huge discount on what is a great colour ereader, but it is cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else right now. The Libra Colour user interface is clean and easy to navigate, there's 32GB of storage, Bluetooth connectivity for audiobooks (Kindles in Australia don't have this feature), it has full writing capabilities (although you need to purchase the Kobo Stylus 2 separately), and an ergonomic design.
Smartwatches

Arguably one of the best watches Garmin has made, the Fenix 7X Pro can earn its money back in the reliable information it returns for every one of your workouts. And it keeps going too, thanks to solar charging. Note that excellent 45% discount is only on the 51mm Silver Titanium model with the grey band.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is a lot like having a personal trainer on your wrist. It provides advanced metrics for all your workouts including running, strength training, yoga, and much more. It also monitors your sleep, provides an ECG at all times, and also has safety features in case of a fall or car crash. It saves you looking at your phone so often too.

It's often the #1 bestselling soundbar on Amazon and that doesn't surprise me in the least. It was very well received by experts at its price point when it launched in 2023, and has remained a top option for users too. And at this price, it's a fantastic budget option with Dolby Atmos support, plenty of bass and a wide soundstage.
Read moreRead less▼
While often discounted to this same price, we haven't seen the Nebula Mars 3 go lower, and it's a great deal. It serves up great brightness levels for a portable model, although you'll benefit most from watching at night. You can read our Anker Nebula Mars 3 review for more info, but ultimately, we think it's well worth it at this price.

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.
Cameras & drones

It's not a huge discount on a drone that's now been succeeded by a fresher model, but we haven't been seeing too many good DJI drone deals recently. If you're yet to fly high or want to upgrade from a much older quadcopter, this 249g flying genius is still pretty darn good at taking shots.

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. Sure, the image quality isn't quite as good, but it's also much more affordable. This is the usual discounted price for the action camera, but it's still a solid deal.
Read moreRead less▼
We call this an "all-round surveillance solution" in our 70mai Dash Cam A510 review, due to it including both front-facing and rear-facing cameras in the box. They're quality cameras, too, recording 2.7K footage from the front and 1080p at the back, complete with wide fields of view. Built-in GPS, 360º rotation for in-car recording and easy install only add to its appeal.
PC peripherals & networking

This lovely little vertical mouse hasn't been this cheap in a very long time, so it's one deal I highly recommend — I use this mouse myself. It's perfect for small mitts and encourages better posture, helping ease wrist, shoulder, and shoulder blade discomfort. Just note that the deal is only for the Graphite model for PCs.

If you're looking for a mixture of size and speed under the AU$1,000 price bracket, look no further than this behemoth. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into, and it's a bit of a bargain right now. Read our review for more info, but the 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy for those who will use it for work and play.

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 eero Wi-Fi 7 mesh router is good — better than the AU$437 we saw during Black Friday. We don't have a review yet, but our friends over at Tom's Guide rated it 4-stars. It's a Wi-Fi 7 model designed for high-speed wireless and wired networks and includes dual 5GbE ports. You can also grab it in a three pack for AU$899.99, which works out at just AU$299.99 per node.
Personal grooming

This Dyson Airwrap alternative had the same 50% off discount for Black Friday and Boxing Day, and is a decent buy right now. It comes with a digital display and hotter heat settings than the Airwrap, as well as attachment recognition for the ideal settings for each.

While often discounted to this price, it's still a good opportunity to pick up the Supersonic Nural. Read our review for more, but it offers a wealth of intelligent features to better care for your hair, along with multiple attachments to create all kinds of styles.

The mouse I use — now 48% off
I have the white (or what's labelled as grey) Logitech Lift and, after a few years of daily use, it's looking a little worse for wear. I'm sorely tempted to swap it out for this Graphite version instead, and it's cheaper than I've every seen it before.
The previous low price was AU$69, which makes the current 48% discount an all-time low on this specific model, so don't miss out.
I will have to note that it's designed for smaller hands like mine, so people with large mitts might not like its ergonomics — your little finger is likely to drag along your desk. Otherwise, it's an ergonomic mouse I can heartily recommend.
Logitech Lift: was AU$129 now AU$67.15 on Amazon
Hello, Australia! And welcome to TechRadar's live coverage of Amazon's first big sale of the year – the Big Smile Sale.
We've had a few Big Smile Sales in Australia perviously, so we know a thing or two about it. It's typically held in March — though this year the start date of Monday, March 16 is a touch earlier than 2025. It's always been a week-long sale, so nothing new in the fact that you have until Sunday, March 22 to shop till you drop (figuratively speaking, we hope).
Don't expect record-low prices on Amazon this time round, though — that's typically reserved for the Amazon Prime Day sale and the Amazon Black Friday sale — but you'll typically see about 20% to 30% off a range of items. There will be deeper discounts on select items, but it will be the rare offer that comes in at an all-time low.
If there are any, be assured that my team and I will be right on it, bringing you the best and latest discount on tech as soon as we spot them.
I've covered every single Amazon sale since the retailer launched its Australian site in December 2017, so I know how spot a good Amazon deal. Moreover, my team has expertise in different categories of tech, so anything we list on this page will be worth your attention. So stick with us as we bring you a plethora of discounted hot tech.
