Currys New Year sale – my top 14 deals

Acer Aspire 14
Acer Aspire 14: was £699 now £499 at Currys
Read moreRead less

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Snapdragon X
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

This is a great price for a relatively modern laptop that comes with a well-performing and efficient Snapdragon X CPU. On top of that, you get 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and incredible battery life of up to 28 hours, which represents good value for money overall. I like it as a light, portable and capable all-around everyday machine.

Read moreRead less

If you're looking for a small-sized budget display, you can't get much better than this Hisense 43-inch 4K TV that's on sale for £199 at Currys - a record-low price. The Hisense A6Q sports 4K Ultra HD resolution support, a direct-lit LED array for respectable brightness and contrast, and Dolby Vision HDR for superior colours. Access to all of your favourite streaming apps is just a button press away, too. All of this for a little under £200? Bargain.

De'Longhi Magnifica Start
De'Longhi Magnifica Start: was £399 now £319 at Currys

Here's a mid-range espresso machine knocked down to an entry-level price. The Magnifica Start is an excellent bean-to-cup espresso machine from De'Longhi, and this version has a removable milk carafe and one-touch drink making, so it's super-easy to use.

Dyson V8 Advanced
Dyson V8 Advanced: was £329 now £229 at Currys

The Dyson V8 is now older, but it remains one of the top affordable vacuums and also one of the best Dyson vacuums – period. This still more-than-capable vacuum comes with a couple of essential attachments for cleaning around the home. Given its age and basic features, it's a struggle to recommend it at its full price, but now that it's discounted so heavily at Currys, it's an easy recommendation.

Asus Vivobook 16
Asus Vivobook 16: was £799 now £649 at Currys

Display: 16 inches
Processor: Intel Core i7
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB

If display quality is just as important to you as power, then strongly consider this Asus Vivobook deal at Currys. It comes with a large and high-end OLED screen that offers a clear and sharp image, whether you're working on documents or streaming your favourite TV shows. Specs are impressive elsewhere, too, including a powerful Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for storage that all ensure excellent overall performance, great multitasking capabilities and speedy load times.

Hisense  E7Q 55-inch 4K QLED TV
Hisense E7Q 55-inch 4K QLED TV: was £389 now £349 at Currys
Read moreRead less

Here's a quality and good value big screen TV from Hisense. The QLED displays ensure vibrant colours and excellent brightness, even in a brighter room, while 4K resolution support gives you top-tier picture quality. As far as large TVs go, this is one of the better options I've spotted in the Currys sale that balances price and features really well if you're on a tighter budget.

Lenovo IdeaPad 1

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - AMD Ryzen 5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB

Here's a solid and cheap Windows laptop in the Currys New Year sale. It's an older machine, but there's no denying it's packed with some excellent performance components for the price, including a Ryzen 5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. It's a great buy if you want a good laptop with decent battery life for everyday use, work or school.

Philips PerfectDraft Beer Dispenser
Philips PerfectDraft Beer Dispenser: was £169 now £159 at Currys
Read moreRead less

A clear party piece if there ever was one, this PerfectDraft Beer Dispenser connects up to compatible 6-litre kegs of your favourite tipple and pours them like you were just down the pub. The convenient LCD screen shows how much is left and when the beer or cider is at the right temperature, while its compact design and dishwasher-safe components mean it's easy to store and clean.

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle
Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle: was £429 now £409 at Currys
Read moreRead less

This isn't a big saving, but it's a discount nonetheless on the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle featuring Mario Kart World. Considering the console costs £395 by itself, you're effectively getting a copy of Mario Kart World bundled in for just £14 – that's a huge steal. I don't anticipate there will be many more opportunities to save in the months ahead, and RAM prices could cause a price hike in the near-future, so now could be the best time to buy.

HP Chromebook Plus 15a

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Core 3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB

This version of the HP Chromebook Plus offers impressive power for the price. It includes 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core 3 processor, boosting performance, boot times and load times. There's also a standard 128GB of storage for your essential files, and battery life is excellent at up to 13 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough to last a full working day. At a little under £250, it's a bargain for school or college, or just as a home laptop that you use for light use and everyday tasks.

JVC CT150 32-inch HD TV
JVC CT150 32-inch HD TV: was £129 now £119 at Currys
Read moreRead less

I'll say upfront that you shouldn't expect a cinematic wonderland from an HD TV at this size and price (although it does support HDR, which is nice), but what I really rate here is that it's just a simple smart TV at a great price. The Freely TV interface is easy to use, intuitive, and supports all the key streaming services. So, if you want a small TV that does the job and has all the smart viewing options you could want to watch your favourite shows and movies, here it is.

Ninja Slushi
Ninja Slushi: was £349.99 now £249.99 at Currys
Read moreRead less

The unique Ninja Slushi just got its latest discount in the New Year sale at Currys – although it was £25 cheaper on Black Friday. This kitchen appliance makes all sorts of chilled and frozen drinks, including juices, cocktails, milkshakes, and more. We loved it in our Ninja Slushi review, praising its ability to make quick and delicious drinks easily in a fun and entertaining package.

AOC C32G2ZE 31.5-inch Curved Gaming Monitor
AOC C32G2ZE 31.5-inch Curved Gaming Monitor: was £199 now £149 at Currys
Read moreRead less

If you're shopping for a reasonably-sized and budget gaming monitor, this is a solid price for an affordable option from the top brand AOC. Key features include its 31.5-inch curved panel, 1080p resolution support, high 240Hz refresh rate, low 1ms response time, and HDMI 2.0 / DP 1.4 compatibility.

Sony Bravia 8 II 55-inch OLED TV
Sony Bravia 8 II 55-inch OLED TV: was £1,999 now £1,799 at Currys
Read moreRead less

The latest version of Sony's Bravia 8 is an incredible OLED TV that boasts some of the best picture quality to date, according to our review. The display was only released this year and this is the biggest discount yet. Sure, it's still quite the investment, but you do get a picture quality that's bright, vivid, and detailed, with strong in-built sound as well. It's perhaps not the best pick for gamers, though, given it lacks some features compared to the competition.
