A warm welcome to readers joining us on day 3 of Amazon's October Prime Day sale – the online retail giant's prelude to Australia's Black Friday deals.
If you've already been shopping, then you know that the sale kicked off at 00:01am AEDT on October 7, but if you still haven't begun your bargain hunting, then know that you have another four days left to shop this sale. It will end at 11:59pm AEDT on Monday, October 13.
It's another full seven days of deals, which surely begs the question: shouldn't the sale now be called 'Prime Week'? Although one could argue the sale is longer than a week because Amazon unlocked 'early' deals a few days before October 7, discounting select Echo smart devices, nearly all its Fire TV Sticks, and a few Ring and Blink security cameras three days prior to sale start.
Now there's a plethora of big brands to shop – think Dyson, Apple, Sennheiser, Samsung, Sony and more – and the way Amazon lists its offers can make hunting them down quite painstaking as not all offers are listed on the Prime Big Deal Days landing page.
So my team and I doing the hard work for you, trawling through listings to find the best discounts on tech. There have been some excellent price drops already and there's quite the selection of deals going for half price or less.
Remember that you need to be a Prime member to shop most of the offers listed below (we've marked them with a pink label). If you aren't a Prime member, you can sign up now to get a 30-day free trial that covers the sale (and then some), and you can always cancel any time.

Phones & tablets
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. And this 29% discount makes it quite affordable indeed.
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 21% discount, however, drops this into the mid-range category. Although please note that this offer is on the 256GB Jetblack model only.
Samsung's slimmest phone yet has dropped to just under the AU$1,200 mark earlier this year, but I think a AU$600 saving isn't something to scoff at. Whether this will get cheaper is anyone's guess, but if you don't want to wait, pick up the 256GB for 22% off or the 512GB for a decent 20% discount via the same listing on a premium skinny Android handset.
One of Samsung's best cheap 11-inch tablets is now available at a decent 27% discount. It's been around 35% off, but getting a tablet of this calibre at under AU$300 is a good deal in my books. If you don't need a heck of a lot of storage, grab this bargain tablet, whether you're looking for a movie streamer, web browser or a reasonable multi-tasking companion.
It's not very often we see the latest iPad models get double-digit discounts, and this isn't the lowest price we've seen on the 2025 entry-level iPad (that was AU$487 in June), but a AU$74 saving shouldn't be overlooked. Powered by the A16 chip, this is a fantastic tablet for most users, unless you want a laptop-replacing powerhouse.
Matching the lowest price we've ever seen, the Galaxy Tab S9 is worth considering no matter what you want a tablet for. It comes with the S Pen, which makes it suitable for artists and notetakers and at this price it's not too pricey for it to be a casual slate for watching shows or browsing the web. Plus, Samsung has guaranteed security updates for the Galaxy Tab S9 until 2028, so it still has many years of life left in it.
Announced in October 2024, this compact iPad has a slightly more powerful chip under the hood than the entry-level model listed above, and the better discount is on the 256GB storage option. With Apple Pencil and Smart Folio support, this 8.3-inch slate is not just portable, but would be a handy device to have if you're working on the go.
A 17% discount is a little disappointing, but then the 2024 Paperwhite remains 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 isn't really a deal breaker.
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 19% discount brings the price to a new all-time low in Australia, coming in at AU$2 less than what I've seen previously. Don't need a colour screen? Then check this ereader out.
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.
Power banks & chargers
The B6 is the top rated budget option in our best power banks buyers guide and outperforms much more expensive models. Ignore the listed RRP – AU$29.99 is the normal price, and while this isn't the cheapest we have seen, AU$25.49 is a decent discount.
Need a larger capacity? The INIU B5 has a 20,000 mAh capacity and is currently 33% off – on sale for AU$39.99.
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.
Our resident power bank expert thinks this affordable Ugreen is the best magnetic wireless power bank you can buy. It has a large 10,000mAh capacity, fuss-free MagSafe (or Qi2 for non iPhones) charging and even offers a nice little kickstand for easy viewing while charging.
The INIU B64 is one of our favourite power banks, and while this isn't quite the lowest price we've seen (that was AU$95.99), there's still good bang for buck here. The B64 has up to a massive 140W output for fast charging anything from a phone to a laptop or portable gaming device. The large 27,000mAh (99.9Wh) capacity is (just) flight safe, it can charge three devices at once and is backed by a long three-year warranty.
At one of the lowest prices we have seen, this is a great deal for a premium power bank. 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. The full discount here is thanks to Amazon's 10% discount when spending over AU$100 promotion for Prime members.
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.
With two USB-C ports accompanying a single USB-A socket, this Anker charger has a higher 65W output than cheaper models. Its list price has dropped from around the AU$65 mark, and the additional 42% discount currently available makes it quite the bargain. This isn't the cheapest it's been, but it's still highly recommendable at this price.
Belkin’s a pretty well trusted brand in the phone accessories market, and this phone charger might be attractive to you for that very reason. It offers a maximum output of 60W, via two 30W ports, so it’ll fast charge an iPhone 16/17, Samsung Galaxy S25 or Google Pixel 9/10 alongside a set of earbuds or a smartwatch without a hitch.
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.
Headphones & speakers
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 the best price we've seen to date.
They were 43% off on day 1 of the sale, but even this higher price is one worth considering as they offer a more reliable and stronger connection to your source devices thanks to the wired connection. You will likely need a 3.5mm-to-USB or -Lightning adapter (or one of the best headphone DACs) to get them connected to your phone, but do so and you’ll be rewarded with a gorgeous, high-fidelity sound. And, being Sennheiser, they’re impeccably built and are super comfortable to wear for longer sessions.
Smaller and lighter than the WF-1000XM5, the LinkBuds S are an alternative flagship wireless in-ears from Sony. That makes them more comfortable to wear, particularly for long periods. As we noted in our 4-star LinkBuds S review, they're still water resistant and offer both good audio quality and noise-reduction, but the sound isn't quite on par with the XM5s. They are, however, massively cheaper than the XM5s thanks to a huge 54% discount.
It's not a huge discount but it's been rare to see any price cut on Apple's latest AirPods 4. This pair of buds lacks active noise cancellation but you still get great audio and personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. Additionally, a battery life of up to five hours on a single charge and 30 hours with the included carry case will keep you listening for longer.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro offer exceptional noise cancelling, brilliant audio quality and a long-lasting battery life. We awarded the earbuds four stars in our Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro review, owing to the aforementioned features, though noted a high base price. This 45% isn't the lowest price we've seen, but it's still an enticing deal for Samsung users.
Offering poised and revealing sound, along with excellent comfort and microphone quality, this saving is one to consider if you've been on the hunt for a quality pair of earbuds. Though noise cancellation and battery life could use some work, we awarded these earbuds a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval in our Technics EAH-AZ80 review.
37% 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.
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 – now going at a much more accessible price thanks to a 37% markdown on the Moonstone Blue and Iridescent Sunset colourways.
They're no stranger to discounts and we're not going to pretend this is the best price we've ever seen, but a saving on the AirPods Pro 2 should never be ignored, especially when the third-gen model will set you back AU$429 from Apple. Great sound, seamless connectivity and excellent ANC are all part of the package.
We gave these stunning earbuds 4.5 stars in our review as they have class-leading audio handling and impeccable sound quality that rivals the best wireless earbuds. With balanced sound, effective ANC and a great battery life, these Sennheiser buds will make any audiophile smile. They were down to around AU$260 earlier this year, so this is only just shy of that and a great time to snap them up.
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. This deal is very slightly better than during Black Friday last year, and while not the very lowest price we have seen, it's still an excellent discount.
Sennheiser's fourth generation wireless over-ear cans are fantastic. In our five-star Sennheiser Momentum 4 review, we called these headphones "unbeatable". With active noise-cancellation, 60-hours of battery life and excellent sound quality, there are few pairs that can compete with the Momentum 4. They were AU$258 in July, which was the best price we'd seen, so this price is almost as good. Thee full discount here is thanks to an extra AU$25 Prime discount applied automatically at checkout.
OK, not the best price – they were AU$324 for Black Friday last year – but 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.
Earning five stars in our Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones review, it's safe to say we think they're a great buy at over AU$188 off. Serving up rich, detailed sound and truly effective noise-cancelling, the Sony XM5 are truly superb. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods and benefit from a smartphone app that opens up a huge world of customisation.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a stunning set of headphones and 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 16% discount on just the black variant might entice someone if they've been eyeing it a while.
Grab a fantastic 42% off the older but still amazing Motion+ Bluetooth speaker from Anker. It has a 30W output, supports aptX, is waterproof, and can have two units paired together for stereo. For more info, check out our Anker Soundcore Motion Plus review. While not the lowest price we have seen (it dipped under AU$100 last year), it's still an excellent deal. The full discount here is thanks to an extra 5% discount applied automatically at checkout.
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 is currently available at a very generous 41% off in four colourways.
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 is even better.
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.
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.
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. A couple of the colour options are down to AU$324, which isn't too far off the AU$311 price point from July's Prime Day sale.
Home entertainment & Hi-Fi
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?
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.
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. This discount is on the black variant, but the white one is just AU$0.95 more via the same listing.
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. This turntable was down to AU$275 earlier in the year, so this deal is only very slightly more.
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.
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
This is a cracker of a deal, considering the ThinkBook G8 was AU$1,749 not long ago. Especially since you get the powerful new Series 2 Intel Core 240H CPU, 32GB of RAM and a fast NVMe 512GB SSD. The only downside is the display, with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and 45% NTSC colour. But if you are connecting it to an external display (or three) via HDMI or Thunderbolt 4, then you won't care.
If you’re been in the market for fast portable storage, the Samsung T7 might be exactly what you've been looking for. Compatible with PC, Mac, Android devices, gaming consoles and more, there’s a lot of value in this small package, plus its got a protective covering that's IP65 water and dust resistant.
If you don't need 2TB of storage, the 1TB T7 Shield is down to AU$145 from AU$170.
The most striking feature of this mechanical keyboard is its thinness, but it also comes with the promise of sub-1ms latency and 8,000Hz hyper-polling. In our review we praised the K100 Air's durability, great actuation and high polling, while bemoaning the high price of this slab. And yeah: it's expensive. Knock off AU$120 however, and it starts to look a bit more doable.
Modems & routers
Google's Wi-Fi 6e capable mesh system is worth considering for big homes, although we've seen discounts that make this 3-pack cheaper than half price. You can position each unit around your home to create an even blanket of Wi-Fi, cracking down on dead spots. A single unit costs AU$197 on Amazon now, making this 3-pack much better value per node.
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. A 3-pack is also available with a 35% discount.
If you aren't keen on the Google mesh Wi-Fi system listed above, consider Amazon's own Eero 6+ three-pack instead. You should read our full review to get the complete picture, but we gave the Eero 6+ 4 stars, and noted that the Wi-Fi performance was excellent, the pricing is good and it's easy to use.
The latest eero Wi-Fi 7 mesh router is down to the lowest price we have seen on Amazon. 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$839.99, which works out at just AU$278 per node.
Fitness trackers & smartwatches
I would think the current Apple Watch SE will get cheaper soon since the SE 3 has now been released, and AU$278 is the lowest price we have seen so far. While an older model, this is great value for a no-frills Apple Watch with full-fat fitness tracking. We awarded it four and a half stars in our Apple Watch SE 2 review and we usually see stock levels drop quickly when there's a discount.
Smart rings are typically quite expensive, but if you're willing to forgo a few features, you can get one that won't cost you fingers an arm and a leg. Enter the RingConn Gen 2 Air – you get all the basic health tracking you need, including sleep and heart rate, but there's also women's health features here. You miss out on the sleep apnoea detection from the full-fat RingConn Gen 2, so I think this is good value for a discreet health tracker. Please note: you will need to get the sizing kit first for AU$2.99 so you know which size tracker to buy.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a worthwhile fitness device for folks that don’t like the feeling of a watch. Water resistant at up to 100 metres and available in three colours, the Galaxy Ring can track steps, sleep, heart rate and more. It comes with a charging cradle, with the Ring capable of lasting up to seven days on a full charge. Remember to try the sizing kit first.
This is a fantastic price for a fantastic smartwatch that we awarded four stars in our Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro review. Yes, it looks like an Apple Watch, but it also acts like one, offering excellent battery life, accurate health tracking and a bright display. Plus, perhaps most importantly, it plays nicely with both iOS and Android devices.
Close to its lowest ever price on Amazon, the Instinct 2 is a heavy-duty Garmin smartwatch that offers an immense 28 days of battery life (or 30 hours with GPS mode enabled) and a waterproof rating of up to 100 metres. You also get the usual comprehensive suite of fitness tracking and workout suggestions, all clearly legible on its monochromatic display.
One of the best-looking hybrid smart watches on the market, blending analog and digital design layouts, the Scanwatch 2 is probably your best bet if you want a classic design and some of the health tracking features of a typical smart watch. In our Withings ScanWatch 2 review, we found that the companion app was quite easy to use and we liked the inclusion of a skin temperature tracker, though we would have liked some more smart features and the small digital display may not be for everyone.
An upgraded version of a watch we proudly awarded five stars, this handy fitness tracker features solar power charging, allowing it to last much longer than the standard model. It's a rugged wrist piece and it's intended for heavy-duty activities. The whitestone and moss colourways get the full discount here, while flame red AU$551.
We called it "the best running watch ever" back in 2022 and its five-star Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review (which just offers a longer-lasting battery than this non-solar model) supports that statement. It might not be in our guide to the best Garmin, but it's no longer priced like it with this deal, either – making it a great pick up.
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 is Canon's first compact camera in years, picking up where the fabulous and popular PowerShot G7 X series left off. It features a brand-new 22.3MP 1.4-inch sensor that boasts Canon's trusty Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus and it has an integrated fan to keep things cool for the content creator. With plenty of grunt under the hood, this is the best price yet on this relatively new camera.
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. Admittedly its image quality lacks against the big players, but we have it on good authority that it's reliable, easy to use and comes with plenty of accessories in the box.
The cheapest and most compact GoPro ever, the Hero is designed to be a simple, affordable and easy to use active camera. It only weighs 86g even with a display fitted to the back and its sizeable 4K-capable camera. It can be immersed in up to 5m of water and is fitted with a single capture button for simplicity. Compared to the mainline GoPro active cameras, there aren't as many video options and you only get a choice of three aspect ratios, however the battery life is still impressive at up to 100 minutes.
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. Available in Black and Silver via the same listing at 33% off.
With some serious grunt under the hood of this palm-friendly camera, you get AI-powered subject tracking, up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range and even 4K/120p slo-mo recording. This camera was down to AU$458 for a very short period of time in July, but for an action camera that holds up against a GoPro that costs more, this is still decent value.
This is a way better deal than the 15% markdown suggests on Amazon – the retail price of this waterproof and rugged camera is AU$699, so you are essentially getting a very nice 21% 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.
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 even though this isn't the best price it's been. Please note, however, this discount is via a third-party reseller on Amazon.
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, and this is near to the lowest price I've seen on Amazon, albeit being offered by a third-party reseller.
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. This discount is via a third-party reseller and not direct from 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. It's also just AU$1 more than the lowest price we have seen on Amazon.
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.
You'll need a subscription to use its but the Nextbase iQ is our pick of one of the best dash cams in Australia, well the best smart one. It's packed full of features and they go a long way in justifying the premium price tag of this 4K camera, including constant 4G connectivity. Additional features include SmartSense Parking, Witness Mode, Roadwatch AI, Guardian Mode, Remote Alarm, plus 1440p cabin and rear camera recording and offline footage transfer.
Gaming hardware
This deal offers you a significant AU$81.99 saving on Meta's best affordable headset, and a close second to its best ever headset according to our resident VR headset tester. In fact, he thinks it's the second-best headset anyone can buy from any brand, and it's only a more tempting offer thanks to this limited-time deal.
It may not be the cheapest price on the PS5, but a AU$150 saving is still considerable. Will this get cheaper soon? It might, but there are never any guarantees. So if the price looks right to you, and you've been holding off for Sony's popular game console. this variant will let you use any physical games you might have been holding on to or keen to buy.
One of the best gaming mice available right now, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is an exceptionally lightweight and capable device, with a long-lasting battery life, five programmable buttons and a 32K DPI sensor. Also available in Black for AU$182.31.
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. A favourite among gamers, the Asus ROG Falchion RX version that's discounted here offers pre-lubed red linear switches and RGB lighting for some added style.
Now at the lowest price we've seen on Amazon, this headset is a bargain. Read our Corsair HS80 Max review for the full scoop, but we give 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.
One of TechRadar’s favourite multi-platform headset, this model is brilliant for switching between PC and console effortlessly via its handy USB-C dongle. In our SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless review, we applauded the headset for its neutral sound quality, long battery life, fast charging and customisation via the Sonar app. Our only major criticism was that it’s a little pricier than what we would have liked – not that you'd have to worry about this with such a saving. This is shipping in from Amazon Germany though.
A nice 21% off deal on a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor, bringing it down to the lowest price we have seen on Amazon. It features a 180Hz panel capable of a 4K resolution. We awarded four and a half stars to this screen in our Alienware 27 AW2725Q review, and were impressed with its sharp visuals and HDR performance.
This OLED monitor comes with a gigantic 34.2-inch curved screen that boasts a 240Hz refresh rate and a lightning fast 0.03ms response time. It’s capable of producing gorgeous darkness with DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification, and offers a 3440 x 1440 resolution.
Video games
It may be a PS4 game but Red Dead Redemption 2 still looks beautiful, even though it hasn't been updated to take advantage of the PS5 (not to mention the PS5 Pro). This is one of the most lavish video game productions to date, with an epic 40+ hour narrative and a story that can rival the great westerns.
It's not unusual for 2K's NBA series to drop in price just months after release, and the most recent instalment isn't breaking the trend. It makes a perfect gift or buy for any NBA fan, too. And sure, it's been hovering around the AU$30 mark for a while now, but this extra drop makes it a solid deal if you don't own it already.
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.
A slightly disappointing discount as we've seen this cheaper before, but this first-party gem pretty rarely gets a deep discount. It's a big cheerful platformer with an astonishing amount of ideas. If you're a fan of PlayStation history, it's a must-own, and the same holds true if you love 3D platformers.
Smart home
Want to make your home movies more immersive? This Govee backlight and camera system effectively extends the on-screen image beyond its bezelled confines and accurately tracks colours and flashes to the wall behind. It can also sync with music to dance along to your favourite tunes. Note that this is designed for 55 to 65-inch TVs.
There 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 getting delivered is within a specified zone. The 40% off here is not as good as previous 50% off deals, but still great value overall.
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. 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.
It might be expensive, but this is a fantastic smart display with Alexa available at your fingertips, and your beck and call, literally. You can use the screen for video calls, streaming videos, as a smart home hub, even as a calendar or a planner. All these functions can also be done via voice commands. You can even follow recipes step by step. And, during video calls, the screen will track you if you move around. Fancy, eh?
Vacuum cleaners
Now 50% off, the Dreame U20 cordless vacuum is a bargain. Especially since it's our budget recommendation in our best cordless vacuum cleaners guide and we rate it 4-stars in our Dreame U20 review. With a 100,000 RPM high-speed motor, LED blue-light optical tech and up to 60 minutes of runtime, this vacuum handles hardwood floors easily. Pet owners will love the U20’s tangle-free V-shaped brush that specialises in pulling up hair.
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. For quick and daily vacuuming, this is great and excellent value and is currently at an all-time low price on Amazon.
Why settle for a single vacuum cleaner or separate machines when you can have multiple cleaners in one? The Floor One Switch S6 is a stick vac, hard floor mop, and a handheld vacuum with attachments for upholstery and an extending pole to reach your ceilings. The motor can be switched out and used with each attachment with ease, and it even washes and dries the mopping head by itself.
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. And this discount means its just a dollar more than the standalone vacuum, so there's good value in grabbing the Auto-Empty System variant.
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 getting underneath tricky to reach places. This price is equal to the lowest we have seen on Amazon and is a great saving on an excellent floor washer – read our review for more info.
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.
In our Dreame L10s Ultra review, we called this handy little gadget a "a robot vacuum powerhouse" that will "do as it's told" – what more do you want from a robot vacuum? Seeing a massive 64% discount (and one of the lowest prices we have seen on Amazon), this ultra machine automatically detects floor types, empties itself, has a useful onboard camera and an intuitive mobile app.
Where this Dreame differs from all the others on this page is that if you don't want it to mop (do a vacuum-only run), it can drop its mop pads in the base station by itself. It's also pretty powerful and scored 4 stars in our Dreame X40 Ultra review. It's one of the most fully-featured robovacs we've tested, although its app can be a bit clunky.
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". It's 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.
Our Roborock Saros 10 review calls this machine "a game changer for getting under the sofa". It offers very good suction and mopping, with a dock that handles the majority of maintenance. The key here, though, is its retractible puck that offers a lower profile for sneaking under furniture. Plus, hair won't get tangled in it. It's admittedly still expensive, but it could well be a worthwhile investment for your home.
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.
Don't want something taking up much counter space? Consider the AU$89.90 Wacaco Minipresso which earned four stars in our review.
We've just got this bean-to-cup espresso machine in for review, but if the Philips LatteGo 5500 is anything to go by, we have high hopes. This machine can make 12 coffee-based drinks and uses a clever milk frothing system to create delicious coffee time after time. Be sure to check the coupon box to get the full savings.
This at-home espresso machine is perfect for hobbyist baristas and coffee connoisseurs alike and has long held a position on our round-up of the best espresso machines for good reason. Slashing 25% off RRP, this manual coffee machine streamlines the brewing process from beans to latte with its integrated conical burr grinder, steam wand and precise espresso extraction, although this isn't the best price we've seen previously (AU$629 is more like it).
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. The price here is only for the Stainless Steel colorway.
At half price, this automatic coffee machine is a steal! We like it so much that it scored 4.5 stars in our De'Longhi Eletta Explore review. Capable of making both hot and cold coffee brews, this bean-to-cup machine produces delicious results, although it's not without its quirks. Our reviewer thought its water tank design was a little annoying and wasn't too thrilled with the two-carafe milk system, but if those aren't going to be issues for you, consider this 48% discount.
Air fryers
At just AU$4 more expensive than its lowest ever price, the Ninja Foodi Max does everything you want from an air fryer. While it may fail to stand out in a list of great air fryers, the Foodi Max is a jack-of-all-trades, offering a range of cooking functions, a clear control panel and easy cleaning. In our Ninja Air Fryer Max AF160 review, we called it a “versatile all-rounder that cooks food fast” and, at more than 50% off, now is the time to grab it.
Not far off 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.
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.
Securing a spot on our list of the best air fryers, our reviewer said this innovative model from Ninja was the "air fryer of my dreams". It takes a familiar double drawer design, but stacks them on top of each other, resulting in a smaller footprint. Performance is exemplary, but just make sure the food you put in isn't that big, as the drawers themselves are on the smaller side at 4.75L each.
Other home appliances
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 at this price.
With Aussie summertime fast approaching, now's a great time to invest in a fan. This Vornado model creates tornado-like air flow that circulates around the room. Note that this is the smallest model in the range, ideal for bedrooms.
This rather genius fan in Shark's arsenal has been cheaper before, but I still think it's a good investment with the days getting warmer in most parts of the country. We gave it a solid 4.5 stars in our Shark Flexbreeze Fan review, praising it for its versatility as it can have its height adjusted or convert into a tabletop fan with the press of a button, but it can also work indoors and outdoors. It's cordless, too, with a single charge lasting up to 24 hours.
Personal care
There is a whopping 63% discount on what is one of the top electric toothbrushes. 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.
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. That's a lot of personal grooming for not a lot of money.
Whisk away facial hair in one smooth motion using Manscaped's Beard Hedger beard trimmer. With 20 length settings, edge trimming capabilities and a fully waterproof body, you'll be perfecting your stubble in no time. We have seen this trimmer go lower in price before, but we think it's such a talented performer that we felt compelled to include it here.
Fitted with a flexible head, this shaver is designed to glide against the shape of your face, while onboard sensors will allow it to adapt the cutting power to your beard's length. Speaking of which, it's got 5 length settings to suit different needs and it holds its own while in the shower too.
The Dreame Gleame hair dryer is an even more affordable alternative to the bigger brands. Its motor spins at a mighty fast 110,000 RPM for fast airflow and quick drying, plus built-in ion technology results in smooth, shiny hair. Not to mention, the slim, lightweight build make it comfortable to hold.
It's been a lot cheaper than this during Black Friday 2024 (AU$498 was the lowest price), but a 20% discount right now might well tempt you to get yourself what is arguably one of the best hair dryers 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.
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. Hurry, this offer ends tonight (October 8)!
Services & software
Amazon Kindle Unlimited: three months free (save AU$41.97)
Kindle Unlimited is a great service if you read a lot of books or can't settle on just one genre. It provides access to a near never-ending supply of fiction and non-fiction, including biographies, self-help books, and foreign language novels. There are even audiobooks – though they're not as high quality as Audible.
Audible: three months for AU$0.99 p/m (save AU$46.35)
Prefer to listen to stories rather than read? Then you’ll prefer this deal over the Kindle Unlimited deal above. Audible gives you the chance to listen to thousands of Originals as well as plenty of other hot titles, including exclusive discounts on several. You also get to keep any purchase you make if you cancel your subscription.
Here's something different. If you're a photographer and you've been spending a lot on your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, this 36% discount on an annual Photography Plan might ease that expenditure a little. It shaves over AU$137 off the one plan and gets you both Photoshop and Lightroom. Note that this will auto-renew at full price if not cancelled in time.

A nifty Apple gadget for just AU$35.75
Apple AirTags have been popular since the day they were announced and, while it's common to see a small discount available on the single unit (currently discounted to AU$40 each), it's typically not a lot (just a AU$9 discount).
However, if you pick up the four-pack of AirTags, you'll be paying AU$143 for it, but that brings each Bluetooth tracker down to just AU$35.75 a pop
So, if you're like me who tends to misplace keys all the time, or you want to track your luggage while you're travelling, or you want to keep tabs on your excitable furry friend, grab the 4-pack AirTags. You will, of course, need to be an Apple user (aka own an iPhone, iPad or MacBook) to use them with the Find My app.
Apple AirTags (4 pack): was AU$165 now AU$143 on Amazon
Haul in the ultra-cheap deals
Did you know that there's something called Amazon Haul now available in Australia?
Launched in August this year, Haul is only available on the mobile app (and it still says it's in beta) and is Amazon's answer to Temu and Shein as its home to thousands of affordable products that cost under AU$25.
At present, the only way to find it in the app is to type "Haul" into the search bar on the top of the app's home screen, and you can then filter via specific categories like 'bestseller' or 'electronics'.
The latter, as you would expect, is quite sparse when it comes to actual tech, but you'll find a lot of tech-adjacent items like cheap smartwatch straps, mobile screen protectors and office supplies.
Read all about it: the best Kindle deal this month
There were some good Kindle deals during July, but the discounts right now aren't particularly enticing. Although I will admit that 21% off the latest Kindle Paperwhite could tempt some customers – I'd certainly be if I needed one (I have three Kindles already!).
I've done the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review for TechRadar (heck, I've apparently done over 30 ereader and E Ink tablet reviews for this publications!) and I loved the screen. The E Ink Carta 1300 display shines here, and whatever Amazon has done to the software to tweak performance has worked. It's all quick and snappy and just how you want it. Can't complain about the battery life either.
My biggest complaint was that this tweaked software is quite large and if you're opting for the standard Paperwhite with its 16GB storage, about 4.5GB is taken up by the OS, leaving you with 11.5GB. Now, that's plenty for thousands of ebooks, but if you're purchasing audiobooks as well from the Kindle Store, you'll run out of storage rather quickly.
The other issue I have is that Amazon has disabled Bluetooth connectivity in Australia, so you actually can't listen to those audiobooks you download via a set of paired headphones. To me, that diminishes the per-dollar value of the device.
And yet this is the best Kindle deal to be had right now.
Kindle Paperwhite (2024): was AU$299 now AU$236 on Amazon
Air fry + steam + discount = deliciously healthy food
There aren't too many air fryers that allow you to cook with steam, but this Philips 5000 Series model does. It's a rare breed, but having steam means you can not only steam vegies and dumplings in an air fryer (steam in an air fryer sounds like an oxymoron!), but you can combine steaming and air frying too.
You read that right, there's a dedicated air fry+steam mode on this dual-basket appliance, which makes it great to keep the moisture within tender meat, and yet get crispy skin on chicken and pork belly. The steam option is only for the bigger basket though.
This premium model also has a steam-clean function, but there are caveats that you can find out more about in my in-depth Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam review.
Yup, I tested this myself and I've found it very useful to have in the kitchen, despite not having steam in both baskets. Everything it cooks turns out really well – no complaints from me! Although I still haven't tried baking anything in it... Anyway, if you have the space to store a dual-basket air fryer, this generous 44% discount is well worth considering (and it's only AU$9 more than its July Prime Day price).
Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam: was AU$449 now AU$281.20 on Amazon
What's in my cart?
That image gives it away, doesn't it? Yes, there's an electric toothbrush in my cart.
Allow me to provide a little context here. I've been using the Oral-B Genius 9000 brush since 2017, then I was offered a smart sonic brush late last year to test and you can read all about it in my Oclean X Ultra S review. As much as I enjoy getting scolded by this talking toothbrush, I find that I much prefer oscillating brushes as the sonic vibrations just don't give me that 'clean' feeling.
Sadly, my old Genius 9000 isn't charging anymore, so it's time to get me a new Oral-B. I was eyeing the Oral-B iO6, which is the middle child of the entire iO series and gives you all the brushing smarts from the more expensive models but misses out on some features, like the interactive display and the magnetic charging stand.
Turns out the iO 7, which has the display and the aforementioned stand, is now discounted to the same price as the iO 6 on Amazon – well, the black variant is anyway – so why not just go with the one that has more features? So there you have it: I'm buying me the Oral-B iO 7 in black.
Oral-B iO 7 (black): was AU$579 now AU$211.65 on Amazon
Hello, shoppers! If you're just joining TechRadar's live coverage of Amazon's October Prime Day sale, then you've come at the right time.
It's day 3 of the sale – right now we're halfway through Prime Big Deals Days – and the good news is that we've seen some price drops since the sale began. Case in point: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra SC that began the sale with a 30% discount and are now a whopping 53% off!
There are plenty more deals that upwards of 50% off and one of my colleagues has dug up 16 offers that are currently half price or better and that means there are plenty of savings to be had right now.
Should you wait for Black Friday? That's up to you – if a price looks right, grab it now and don't look back later.
