Amazon's 2026 Mid-Year just kicked off — these are the best 75+ deals to shop on day 1 of this EOFY shopping extravaganza

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 and affordable way to upgrade your home security.

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 AU$9 cheaper than this year's Big Smile Sale and still a decent buy.

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, but I don't expect Amazon to drop the price further... until Prime Day that is.

This little speaker might be priced higher than the older Echo Dot models, but then it takes what Amazon's palm-sized smart speakers can do to the, well, max. It improves on sound with higher bass than the previous Echo Dot to make streaming music a much better experience. You still get all the Alexa smarts here, and a 25% discount isn't too bad at this time of year.

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.

Not too big, not too small — the Echo Show 8's display hits the sweet spot in terms of size, giving you both voice and touch control over your smart home setup. Make video calls, watch videos, stream music, check the weather, call the family to dinner and so much more with this one device. And while I admit AU$70 off still makes this an expensive device, it's the best discount on the latest model of the Echo Show 8 I've seen this year.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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$69.98.

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.

As far as mid-range/budget Android smartphones go, you can't go wrong with the Google Pixel 10a, especially with Android 17 set to get a full release next month (or you can access the Android 17 beta now if you're feeling adventurous). While a colleague has criticised the phone for being too similar to its predecessor, the Pixel 9a, it's still a really good budget Android phone, and this discount makes it even more of a bargain. Although do note that it's being offered by a third-party reseller.

If you use Android devices and need something similar to the AirTags, these trackers from Ugreen work with the Google Find Hub. Unlike the AirTags, these are USB-C rechargeable and they also have a built-in loop so you don't need to buy a separate holder. There's also an iOS-compatible version here for almost the same price.

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.

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 100K 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. These headphones have been available at around AU$93 before, but I think this is still a good price.

Offering “incredible sound” according to our review, 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 they give up to 7 hours of music. The black colour option is the cheapest, but the other two are just another AU$4 more via the same listing.

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.

One of my colleagues loved the Shokz OpenRun for working out, and this is the much better Pro 2 version that improves the sound quality by combining the bone conduction tech with an air conduction speaker. This discount is AU$10 cheaper than Black Friday last year.

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.

Want to truly get the party rocking? If you're hosting outdoors, this Bluetooth speaker is a great option, especially with this massive discount. It delivers an expansive soundstage, backed by a strong feature set, although I will admit UE has better sounding speakers, albeit the smaller ones.

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.

With a little less suction than the T30S listed above — not that it really matters — this Roborock offers similar functionality but with a nicer app experience than Ecovacs.

Now, I will admit that my experience with the Deebot T50 Pro Omni wasn't as good as I had hoped, but it could well have been an isolated case. It's a more powerful than either of the robovacs listed above, with 15,000Pa of suction, and promises good navigation and obstacle avoidance.

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.

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.

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!

If you have only hard floors that need constant mopping, consider getting a wet-dry vacuum like this one instead of a regular cordless vac. This one will suck up any dirt or debris on your floor while it's mopping, so it's saving you time. It can also lie flat to get under low-lying furniture and clean itself with hot water and hot air.

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.

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. It's AU$50 more than the best price we've seen on this wet washer, but read our review to find out why it's still worth it.

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.

Promising simplicity of use, the De'Longhi Magnifica S has an easy-to-use touch control panel that allows you to brew two cups simultaneously with the minimum amount of effort. It also has a silent integrated grinder with 13 settings, plus a handy milk frother too, so it’s a good all-in-one solution.

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.

Breville's compact manual espresso machine is perennially popular, and it's also fairly regularly discounted in Amazon's big sales. It has briefly (and somewhat randomly) dropped to AU$349 last year, but this is a rather typical price. 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.

Philips is the undisputed king of air fryers and while I've seen this discounted to AU$199, a 56% saving is still significant. The 5000 Series XXL offers a generous 7.2L/1.4kg capacity (enough to feed six people), 16 different cooking functions and even Wi-Fi connectivity and a smartphone app with recipes that can send commands straight to the fryer. The basket is also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

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.

I love this air fryer. It allows you to cook two items at the same time without taking too much space in your kitchen. Philips has now released a similar model, but this OG is still fantastic. Each drawer gives you about 4.5L capacity, so you can make a main and a side easily enough for two or three people.

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.

This adorable tabletop fan is a must-have during Aussie summers. Available in a few colourways but only the Lilac going this cheap, it's lightweight, so you can take it with you when you go camping, and it runs on battery too. A picnic or a backyard party, in the house or while camping, you'll be glad you have the Shark HydroGo for company.

This bladeless fan from Shark can pivot either into a focused vertical Tower Mode to a horizontal Air Blanket Mode, making it a versatile cooling machine for any home. It has 10 speed options to finely tune the fan's cooling. This may cost a lot for a fan, but it's a more affordable option than other premium brands in this space.

We talk a lot about vacuums here at TechRadar, but a spot cleaner like this goes under the radar, so to speak. This machine promises to get rid of touch stains in a jiffy, and its price tag isn't bad either.

The Vivoactive 5 contains a lot of the premium Garmin features found in its more expensive offerings, while also priced closer to conventional smartwatches. These features include on-board GPS, on-device storage for offline music via Spotify, and fitness metrics like Body Battery and VO2 Max.

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.

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.

If you've never heard of the Bravia Theatre U, it's a wearable TV speaker that wraps you in personalised surround sound. Now, don't expect it to compete with a soundbar, but it was designed so you can enjoy your shows and movies without disturbing anyone around you. You can even use it for work, thanks to an onboard mic for calls.

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.

It's already a very affordable APS-C camera kit, so even a small discount makes it worthwhile. For your money, you get a 24.2MP beginner-friendly camera that includes creative modes to simplify taking photos. Plus you get 4K/30p (6K oversampling) video on board too. This offer is from a third-party reseller however.

This is a massive saving on a fantastic little camera that emulates film photography. Resembling the X100VI, the X Half has some unique features, including 2-in-1 diptychs and a dedicated 'film camera mode' for the experience of shooting with a half-frame film camera... just digitally.

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.

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.

The Logitech MX Master range have been some of my favourite mice of all time, thanks to the ergonomic design, multiple customisable buttons, and a second scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling (or for flicking through multiple browser tabs). This version is Bluetooth-only, meaning it doesn’t have the Logi Bolt USB dongle and a USB-C charging cable included in the box.

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.

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.

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.

Please don't confuse this with the ROG Xbox Ally X, which has more powerful specs. This is the cheaper sibling, now cheaper still on Amazon. And given the recent price hike of the Steam Deck, this handheld definitely seems a lot more tempting now.

Sure, it's a wired controller, but this gamepad is simple to use and durable, with drift-free hall effect analog sticks. In fact, the base of the sticks also have RGB, which is fantastic at this price. Being wired, however, means this isn't ideal for couch play, but if you're a PC gamer at your desk, it'll do wonderfully well.

Not a huge discount, but this really is a fantastic PC controller that also happens to work with Xbox consoles. With an impressive 1000Hz polling rate for high precision and TMR analog sticks for drift-free control, there are hall effect triggers, paddle buttons, and Wi-Fi (2,4GHz only) and Bluetooth connectivity, it's a gamepad to truly up your, well, game.

I've tried a fair few smart home devices in my time but not the Meross smart plugs. Still, something has got to be said about the 4.6-star rating on Amazon with some very happy customers saying it's a great product. Smart plugs are a great way to turn any gadget at home into a smart one, including lamps and kettles. Where the Meross stands out from other affordable offerings is by also featuring an energy monitor — a great way to keep tabs on your usage and save money on power bills.

I'm a massive Philips Hue fan and have a few smart bulbs scattered around my home, but every time I purchase one, I usually baulk at the price tag. So when there's a discount like this, I wouldn't hesitate sharing it. There's a 2m length here to get you started, and it combines white and coloured light for some very pleasing effects. If you already have a Hue Bridge, this will work with your current setup, but you can use it independently as it's Bluetooth compatible too.

A great addition to any existing or prospective smart home setup, this smart lock integrates with hubs like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings to let you open the lock with just your phone. The AU$450 RRP may be a big ask for some households, but this deal makes it tempting enough for the smart home enthusiast.

You don't have to spend thousands on a shaver when you can have this one for under AU$100. It runs up to 4 weeks on a single charge and is waterproof, plus you can trim or shave your face, body or head. It's a 15-in-1 device that's excellent value for money even though it's been cheaper (around AU$88) before.

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.

Promising to take way less time to straighten hair than traditional flat irons by working just fine in wet hair, the Airstrait is the hair-care tool making headlines. It won't burn wet hair as other straighteners would, leaving you with less hair damage and a quicker styling session in the mornings. This is a higher price than what we saw during March's Big Smile Sale, but it's still a significant price drop.

AU$100 cheaper than during Big Smile Sale, it's 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.
