Best New Zealand EOFY tech deals: save up to NZ$900 on phones, laptops and vacuums

While the rest of the world is set to finish up their Samsung Galaxy S26 pre-order offers as the devices start to ship this week, Samsung New Zealand has extended the pre-order specials to finish on March 18, despite the phones shipping from March 10. Using the coupon code NEWGALAXY-S26 will take NZ$650 off the price of the 512GB Galaxy S26 Ultra. That’s a huge saving for a brand new device, especially for what our reviewer called “the best Android phone ever”. If you’re interested in the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus, you can pre-order them here.

This stick vacuum brings improvements over the standard Dyson V11 released in 2019, with increased suction, a click-in battery and a new Motorbar cleaner head. It also carries over the standard V11’s 60-minute battery life and the ability to adjust suction depending on floor type. A Dyson that’s NZ$551 cheaper than RRP is already a deal in my books, and the fact that the V11 Advanced is a good quality sick vacuum makes it even more tempting.

Don’t need all the fancy new features on the Galaxy S26 lineup? This mid-range offering from Samsung is one of our favourite budget phones, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, a 5000mAh battery (like the S26 Ultra) and an IP67 water- and dust-resistant rating. To get this price, add the coupon code EOS-2026ACF at checkout, and you’ll also get a free Samsung silicon case valued at NZ$39. If you’re trading in an old phone, you can get an extra NZ$75 off the price of the Galaxy A56.

To celebrate MAR10 Day, MightyApe has discounted a slew of Mario and Nintendo products, including this Lego set for adults featuring the Italian plumber on his signature go-kart in the Mario Kart franchise. This set has 1,972 pieces to form a 32cm long model that would be a great addition to any Mario or Nintendo fan’s space. Be quick, as these Mario Day deals end tomorrow, March 11.

This laptop from HP is a compact powerhouse thanks to a powerful Intel Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, a speedy 512GB SSD from Kioxia and more importantly, a whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM. A laptop with these specs already makes the discounted NZ$1,899 price a steal, but even more so now with the ongoing RAM crisis.

This Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deal isn't as generous as the Samsung store's deal, but this one from PBTech bundles in a Samsung 3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Dock, a 4-pack of Galaxy SmartTag2 trackers, and a magnetic case from Spigen. Not too keen on those accessories? There’s another deal where you get an NZ$280 gift card instead. You can also check out PBTech's other Galaxy S26 offers here.

Scoring NZ$500 off Dyson's powerful cordless vac is a great deal in my opinion. And since this is the Complete model, you get a plethora of attachments catering to all your cleaning needs. The standout has to be the Fluffy Optic cleaning head that illuminates invisible dust on hard floors to ensure you can capture every last mote, while a number of crevice tools help to reach those tricky areas.

Our vacuum expert here at TechRadar found Dyson’s first go at a wet-and-dry vacuum a streamlined, easy-to-use and effective cleaner in the WashG1’s review, but she also said it was overpriced. This deal takes care of that, and should be tempting enough for anyone that has hard flooring in their living spaces. And, given we’ve also claimed the WashG1 to be better than the newer Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene, it makes for an even more compelling buy.

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

If you’re cooking for a crowd a lot and your current air fryer struggles to feed many mouths, the 10.4L Ninja XXXL FlexDrawer Air Fryer might just be for you. While the large capacity also means it’ll take up more counter space, our review found the FlexDrawer easy to use and has constantly produced great cooking results. Paying more than NZ$500 for an air fryer may be a big ask for many households, but this deal makes the FlexDrawer hard to pass up for those who like to cook for a crowd.

While ice cream is usually synonymous with summer and hot weather, I personally find it’s still an enjoyable treat all-year round, so this deal for Ninja’s Creami ice cream maker should be right up your alley if you’re just like me. Our review found it makes creamy and smooth frozen desserts, and also does dairy-free ice cream well. At full price it is tricky to outright recommend, but this deal should make it a bit more tempting.

The LG C5 is our most recommended TV for most people thanks to its excellent picture quality and premium features. While close to NZ$3,000 is hardly a cheap purchase, the LG C5 provides TV tech that is more commonly found in significantly more expensive TVs. It shines especially in gaming with a 144Hz refresh rate and support for FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync.

This large screen 2-in-1 laptop from HP uses a latest-generation Intel Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226V CPU for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch touchscreen OLED display has a 3K (2880 x 1800) resolution, great for media consumption and for creative work. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The OLED display makes this 36% discount a lot more tempting, especially if you’re upgrading from an older laptop.

There may be an ongoing shortage of RAM, storage and other PC components, but monitors and displays still remain a good value upgrade for any PC setup these days. This IPS monitor from HP has a 165Hz refresh rate and 300 nits brightness. While this is only 1080p resolution, this price makes it cheap enough to purchase a few of them to form a multi-monitor setup.

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

This large screen 2-in-1 laptop from HP uses a latest-generation Intel Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226 CPU for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch touchscreen IPS display has a 1920 x 1200 resolution, and there’s a whopping 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage plus the latest features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a facial recognition webcam. This 35% discount for a powerful Windows laptop is worth snapping up before RAM and storage shortages start to impact prices on devices like these soon.

This no-nonsense 17-inch laptop bears a powerful Intel Core 7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage that will provide you with all the productivity you need for work or study. While the 17-inch display is 1080p, it has an anti-glare coating to allow you to use it comfortably outdoors. This discount makes this a great purchase for any discerning uni student or freelancer looking to get tasks done with no frills.

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

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

Perfect for the Waitangi Day festivities, this portable speaker from Bose is small enough to stuff in some pockets and won’t take up too much room in your bag. If you have other Bose speakers, this can be linked as the other half of a stereo pair, or used in Bose’s Party Mode functionality to play the same music on multiple speakers. This deal direct from Bose NZ is the lowest so far across the country.

This classic stick vacuum from Dyson is the company’s most affordable model and this discount makes it even more tempting for anyone looking to upgrade to a modern stick vacuum. While this doesn’t have the latest and greatest tech, it’ll still do the basics quite adequately. With up to 40 minutes of fade free suction, it can easily clean hard floors, carpets and more. It can also be used as a compact handheld vacuum, making it easy to access hard to reach spaces.

If the HP laptop above is still quite out of your price range or if the specs are too overkill, then this ThinkPad all-rounder for less than half the price might be for you. With an Intel Core 5 processor and 16GB of RAM, this laptop is powerful enough for work and study, all wrapped in the iconic matte black ThinkPad look. With RAM and storage prices set to go up in 2026, this 39% discount makes it a deal that’s hard to resist.

If you’ve been curious about Samsung’s smartwatches to pair with your Galaxy handset but don’t want to spend loads, this previous-generation Watch7 might be for you. The watch is zippy and feature-filled, while also looking like a traditional watch thanks to its sleek, circular design with no visible bezels. With the Watch8 still at around NZ$600, this deal is hard to pass up.

This 2-in-1 MagSafe-compatible charger from Ugreen allows you to simultaneously charge your iPhone (from 12 series and up) and your AirPods (or other earbuds and accessories that support wireless charging). The phone charger is rated at 7.5W and the bottom charger is at 5W, but Ugreen says using a charging adapter of at least 25W (sold separately) would further maximise charging efficiency. For any discerning Apple fan, this deal makes this charger hard to pass up.

When these first came out in 2023, Soundcore positioned them as a much cheaper competitor to the premium noise-cancelling headphones from Sony and Bose. I did own a pair and I’d say the company’s claims check out – the ANC was great for the price, but the lengthy battery life was arguably its best feature. TechRadar’s review noted that it feels a bit cheap, but for NZ$168, it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

If you’re a frequent traveller or if you’re just looking to have a single charging brick for all your smaller tech, this three-port 65W charger from Ugreen delivers fast charging even with all three slots taken. Our reviewer wasn’t a fan of its looks and the fact that the prongs aren’t foldable (a limitation of using GaN technology), but for this price, I’m sure those are minor enough to overcome for most of you.

The FE tablet above is the better tablet, but at this price the S10 Lite might be the better buy for some. While the above competes with the iPad Air, at this price the Lite is facing off against the baseline iPad. If you're looking for a tablet to watch, scroll and draw on, this is a great buy.

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.

It's not a huge discount but the JBL Flip 7 outperforms its predecessor (which is also discounted and listed higher on this page), getting a full five stars in our review. The sound is a lot punchier than before and that's without compromising details across the range. It even gets a bigger battery to last you up to 16 hours and makes a case for itself at a very good price indeed. Available in various colours at this price. Members save NZ$5 more.

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.

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 ergonomic vertical mouse is perfect for small hands and it encourages better posture, thus reducing aches along the wrist, shoulder and shoulder blade. I use it myself (I have the white colourway) and can't recommend it highly enough, even at full price.

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.

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.

Bright, easy to use and even more easily expanded, the Philips Hue lightstrip is the go-to LED light strip for a reason. Pairing it with the Hue Bridge unlocks its true power, and it's a clean way to add accent lighting to any surface, with a range of brightness and colour options to choose from.

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 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.
