Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale, the second Prime Day of the year is over, wrapping up at on Monday, October 13. However, even on a regular week Amazon provides some of the best deals available in Australia – and there's still a whole bunch of deals left over from the massive discount bonanza.

That's why we created this guide – to simplify the process and help you easily discover and take advantage of the week's top offers. Whether you're looking to snag one of our five budget buys of the week or a great deal on big-ticket items like the best stick vacuums, all you have to do is click 'add to cart'.

Deals during big sales like Prime Day are often Prime member-exclusive (though you can try Prime 30-days free to take advantage), but the majority of the best weekly discounts are open to the public. This means you can shop and save without spending the AU$9.99 to sign up.

Of course, once you've tasted a Prime subscription, it's hard to go without. On top of free and expedited delivery on eligible products, exclusive deals and early access to major sales, subscribers also gain access to Prime Video (one of the best streaming services in Australia), Prime Reading and Prime Gaming.

For a more in-depth look at what this subscription entails and whether it's worth it, refer to our guide on 'what is Amazon Prime in Australia'. Otherwise, explore the best Amazon deals available ahead of Prime Day below.

Earfun Air Pro 3
Save 30% (AU$30)
Earfun Air Pro 3: was AU$99.99 now AU$69.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 30% discount – equal to the lowest price we've seen before on Amazon. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time.

JBL Flip 6
Save 43% (AU$72.95)
JBL Flip 6: was AU$169.95 now AU$97 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Just AU$2 more than its July price, the JBL Flip 6 has been one of the best Bluetooth speakers you can get. It serves up everything you could need from a portable speaker, namely a fun, engaging sound, up to 12 hours of battery life and the ability to daisy chain with up to 100 other Flip 6 speakers!

Anker 735 (NANO 2) 65W Charger
Save 42% (AU$24.51)
Anker 735 (NANO 2) 65W Charger: was AU$59 now AU$34.49 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

With two USB-C ports accompanying a single USB-A socket, this Anker charger has a higher 65W output than cheaper models. Its list price has dropped from around the AU$65 mark, and this discount is only a dollar more than the Prime Day price from the last few days. This isn't the cheapest it's been, but it's still highly recommendable at this price.

Breville the Aroma Style
Save 21% (AU$22.75)
Breville the Aroma Style: was AU$109.95 now AU$87.20 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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.

Phones & tablets

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
Save 29% (AU$202)
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: was AU$699 now AU$497 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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 is still the same price we saw during the sale.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Save 29% (AU$600)
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: was AU$2,049 now AU$1,449 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3; 128GB)
Save 27% (AU$272)
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3; 128GB): was AU$999 now AU$727 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

At full price, we think this is the best tablet for students. Really, though, it's a great option for those who need more power than the A16 iPad but don't want to pay for the iPad Pro, thanks to its laptop-level power, affordable price and ultra-portability. Earning 4.5 stars in our review, our tester loved its power, battery life, audio quality and vibrant display that allow it to excel in any activity, be it gaming, editing, reading or watching movies. If you don't need all that power, the iPad mini is down to only AU$687.

ViWoods AiPaper
Save 33% (AU$390)
ViWoods AiPaper: was AU$1,199.99 now AU$809.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Despite the discount, the ViWoods AiPaper is still an expensive tablet, but it more than earns its keep by offering plenty of productivity features on a display that's easy on the eyes. You get the choice of two AI assistants for various tasks, including voice-to-text or handwriting-to-text conversion, plus full access to the Google Play Store. Read our 4.5-star review for the full scoop.

Alternatively, the 8-inch ViWoods AiPaper Mini gets you the exact same functionality, and a 24% discount drops the price to AU$759.99.

Headphones & speakers

Apple AirPods 4
Save 14% (AU$31)
Apple AirPods 4: was AU$219 now AU$188 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

It was AU$178.60 for a couple of days this month and now the latest entry-level AirPods are back to the usual AU$188 discounted price. Not a big discount but one still worth considering for spatial audio and a beautiful soundstage, as well as 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. This pair lacks active noise cancellation though.

AKG N9 Hybrid (white)
Save 41% (AU$205.54)
AKG N9 Hybrid (white): was AU$499.95 now AU$294.41 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Here's a doozy: these cans didn't get a discount during the October sale, but the white variant from industry stalwart AKG (now owned by Samsung) is currently going at a very good price. In our 4.5-star AKG N9 Hybrid review, we praised them for their superb audio quality and included USB-C dongle that allows any compatible device to stream in higher-resolution codecs.

Anker Soundcore Motion+
Prime exclusive
Save 39% (AU$70)
Anker Soundcore Motion+: was AU$179.99 now AU$109.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Grab a fantastic 39% 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.

Modems & routers

Google Nest Wifi Pro Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System
Save 36% (AU$249)
Google Nest Wifi Pro Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System: was AU$699 now AU$450 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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$257 on Amazon now, making this 3-pack much better value per node.

TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E mesh system (2-pack)
Save 25% (AU$132.10)
TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E mesh system (2-pack): was AU$529 now AU$396.90 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

This TP-Link Deco XE75 mesh system is great for smaller homes or apartments, as its Wi-Fi 6E tri-band connectivity allows it to better avoid congestion by using the newly unlocked 6GHz band, plus it has a range of improved technologies that better handle crowded airwaves.

Cameras

Canon PowerShot V1
Lowest price
Save 28% (AU$400)
Canon PowerShot V1: was AU$1,449 now AU$1,049 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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.

Canon EOS R8 (body)
Price drop
Save 28% (AU$740)
Canon EOS R8 (body): was AU$2,599 now AU$1,859 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

This might be an entry-level camera but it has some advanced features. Anyone who wants to shoot wildlife or sports will be thrilled with the 40fps burst speed, and it inherits some of the tracking precision from Canon's higher-end cameras too. With a 24.2MP full-frame sensor, it's one of the lightest cameras available today and represents excellent value for a beginner even though this isn't the best price it's been, but its cheaper than last week.

OM System OM-1 Mark II (body)
Save 31% (AU$1,172)
OM System OM-1 Mark II (body): was AU$3,799 now AU$2,627 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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.

Smart home

Govee Envisual TV LED backlight
Prime exclusive
Save 43% (AU$100.02)
Govee Envisual TV LED backlight: was AU$229.99 now AU$129.97 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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 and is about AU$10 more than its previous price.

Google Nest Doorbell (Battery)
Prime exclusive
Save 31% (AU$101)
Google Nest Doorbell (Battery): was AU$329 now AU$228 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

The price of what is one of the best video doorbells you can get in Australia has been fluctuating a lot on Amazon, and it's been down to AU$145 previously. Still, you can't ignore a 29% discount. 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.

Vacuum cleaners

Shark Detect Pro with Auto-Empty System
Save 25% (AU$200)
Shark Detect Pro with Auto-Empty System: was AU$799 now AU$599 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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

Roborock F25 Ace
Save 45% (AU$450)
Roborock F25 Ace: was AU$999 now AU$549 at Amazon
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 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.

Dyson V15s Detect Absolute
Save 41% (AU$600)
Dyson V15s Detect Absolute: was AU$1,449 now AU$849 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

AU$600 off, this is one of the better prices that we've seen the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute – and we think it’s worth snapping up. Earning 4.5 stars in our Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum review, this Absolute version comes with two main cleaner heads and three extra tool attachments.

Appliances

Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine
Save 32% (AU$352)
Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine: was AU$1,099 now AU$747 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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.

Ninja  Creami Deluxe
Save 27% (AU$120.99)
Ninja Creami Deluxe: was AU$449.99 now AU$329 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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, which is about AU$17 more than last week.

Shark FlexBreeze Fan (with misting attachment)
Save 16% (AU$49.01)
Shark FlexBreeze Fan (with misting attachment): was AU$299 now AU$249.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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

Oral-B iO 7
Save 53% (AU$304)
Oral-B iO 7: was AU$579 now AU$275 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

There was a whopping 63% discount last week on what is one of the top electric toothbrushes, but I think even this 50% off would make you smile. It's a smart brush that harnesses the power of AI to recognise your personal brushing style and provide feedback to improve it. The feedback you'll get via the companion app. It also features a pressure sensor and an interactive display, plus comes with a magnetic charging stand.

Philips Series 7000 all-in-one multigroomer (MG7950/15)
Save 31% (AU$50)
Philips Series 7000 all-in-one multigroomer (MG7950/15): was AU$159 now AU$109 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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 a little over AU$100.

Dyson Airwrap i.d.
Last chance
Save 18% (AU$152)
Dyson Airwrap i.d.: was AU$849 now AU$697 at Amazon

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

Shopping tips

1. Become a Prime member

While it might cost you a monthly (or annual) fee to be a Prime member, it's the best way to maximise your savings, particularly if you think you're going to be shopping on the platform regularly. If you're not a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and, if you do so just before a big sale and cancel the subscription before the trial ends, you get the full benefits without having to pay anything extra, albeit for a short period of time.

Benefits include free and fast shipping, exclusive and early access to select deals, plus free subscriptions to some of Amazon's other services like Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming. Find out more about this subscription service in our guide to what is Amazon Prime.

2. Use Amazon coupons

We've got a dedicated page that lists a lot of Amazon coupon codes to help you save on your next shop, but there are always select items on the site that have a little check box that you can tick to bring the price down a little. These coupons can save you anywhere from 5% to 20% off a particular item, and occasionally there's a specific amount of money that gets deducted (e.g. AU$5 off a AU$20 portable power bank), so keep an eye out for them when shopping on Amazon.

Note that when you use these little boxes, the discounted price will only appear when you finally check out – not when the item is sitting in your virtual cart.

3. Track your cart

If you aren't in a hurry to buy something specific, you can always add it to your cart and click "save for later". Amazon has a handy functionality that automatically lets you know if an item in your cart has had a price change.

4. Set up alerts

If you don't want to keep logging into Amazon to check your cart, you can use a site called camelcamelcamel.com to see an item's price history. You just have to copy and paste the URL of the Amazon item you're interested in into Camelcamelcamel's search bar and voila, you get the price history represented by an easy-to-understand graph.

Monitoring this manually, though, can be annoying, so the folks behind this tracking site have created a handy browser plug-in that you can install to receive email alerts when a specific item gets a discount. This is particularly useful during Amazon's big sales if you know what you're after.

5. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program

If there are certain products you know you will buy regularly, particular pantry staples and toiletries, you can use the Subscribe & Save feature on Amazon. This option shows up as the default offer when click on items like laundry detergents, coffee pods, nail colour, baby-care items and more, and it's possible to save as much as 15%, with free shipping already available for Prime members.

6. Check Amazon's daily deals

Amazon has a dedicated hub that lists hundreds of offers, called Today's Deals. It sits right on top of the page and, while it looks a little daunting to browse, there are filters you can use to narrow down your search if you know what you're after.

If you happen to use an Echo smart device, you can also use a simple voice command to find out what the day's offers are by saying, "Alexa, what are my deals?"

7. Browse overstocked items in the Amazon Outlet store

Amazon also has a dedicated section called the Outlet Store that stocks clearance items going cheap. It also houses overstocked new items too, and these usually have some significant discounts. From electronics to homewares, the Outlet Store can save you a pretty penny, but note that some items may come in a damaged box. If so, there will be a note on the product listing page about its condition.

8. Shop during the big sales

If you're not in a rush to buy something, particularly an expensive item, consider waiting till a big sale comes knocking. When we say big, we mean the Prime Day and Amazon Black Friday sales. This is when we see the biggest discounts of the year.

That said, there are usually a lot of good deals during Big Smile sale and the Mid-Year sale, so don't ignore those if you're keen on shopping through the year.

Amazon Big Smile Sale: FAQs

amazon prime membership free trial benefits prime day

(Image credit: Amazon)

What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?

While it's not as big as Amazon Prime Day or Amazon's offering during Black Friday, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is one of Amazon's major sales of the year. You can expect a massive range of discounts across the best headphones, stick vacuums, earbuds, cheap phones and more, but the main discounts will likely focus on Amazon-owned products like Kindle, Ring and Echo. It typically takes place in late March or early April.

What days are the big Amazon sales?

Amazon has four exclusive sales throughout the year, while also taking part in the big general sales alongside Australia’s major retailers. These sales start in March (or early April) with the Big Smile Sale, while the Mid-Year sale is Amazon's alternative to Australian EOFY sales in June. Then there's Amazon Prime Day in July, which now occurs twice each year with Prime Day 2 – or Big Deal Days – landing in October.

And, while they aren't specific to Amazon, the Amazon Black Friday and Boxing Day sales are undoubtedly two of the best times to shop.

Does Amazon have an EOFY sale?

While Amazon doesn't take part in EOFY sales per se, the Amazon Mid-Year Sale lines up with the Australian End of Financial season.

What is Amazon's biggest sale?

While it's not an Amazon-exclusive sale, there's little doubt that Amazon's deal offerings during Black Friday are usually the best we see during the year – but its Prime Day deals are right up there. The Amazon Big Deal Days sale is also worth circling on your calendar. Note, many of the deals during these sales are exclusive to Prime members.

What is the biggest sale in the world?

Between Boxing Day and Black Friday, it's hard to say which is the bigger global shopping event. While Boxing Day is an event for countries within the Commonwealth, and Boxing Day has an American origin, both are great times to pick up basically anything from any retailer across the globe.

However, it's possible neither Boxing Day nor Black Friday sales hold the crown of the world's biggest sale. That title might belong to Singles Day, held on November 11. A massive event in China, it has recently gained traction globally – and may increase in popularity in 2025.
