Amazon AU’s October Prime Day sale is now on — these are the 100+ expert-recommended deals on day 3
I’ve covered every single Amazon sale that’s taken place in Australia for TechRadar and, in my experience, it’s been rare to see all-time low prices during the October Prime Day sale.
• Shop Amazon’s full Prime Big Deal Days sale
And I have just been proven wrong! On day one of Prime Big Deal Days this year (which was Tuesday, September 29), there were already a fair few record lows in the morning, then nearly half of my top deals were cheaper still by the afternoon. Day two saw some of those prices fall further — my favourite price drop was on the Samsung Galaxy A57 smartphone for just AU$519, and that meant it quickly went out of stock.
Other highlights are still going strong: the Philips Baristina coffee machine dropping from a discounted AU$398 to AU$378, then to AU$359; the Bose SoundLink Flex (Gen 2) Bluetooth speaker getting cheaper by about AU$3; and the popular Ninja DoubleStack XXXL also dropping by nearly AU$10. I also love that the Ninja Crispi Pro is down to all-time low of AU$290.70 — it’s the air fryer I use myself and couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Of course, pretty much all these deals are Prime exclusive, so I hope you have a subscription. If not, you can sign up now and get a 30-day free trial if you’re a first-time customer and you can cancel any time. Prime Big Deal Days 2026 ends at 11:59pm AEDT on Monday, October 5, so you have some time to figure out what to get, but don’t take too long.

Editor’s picks: today’s top deals

This discount matches the Blink Video Doorbell System’s last all-time low price during the last Prime Day sale in July. It’s worth noting, though, that many of the features are locked behind the AU$4.95/m Blink Basic or AU$15/m Blink Plus subscription plans, so those costs should be considered if you want video storage, person detection and more. Amazon is also offering a bundle with two Blink Mini 2K+ cameras for AU$48 or 74% off, perfect for a good starter home security system.View Deal

Vertuo Pop: was $229 now $92.15
This little pod machine is very popular among TechRadar’s Aussie team. We’ve had past and present staff say how much they love it, and they’d even buy it at full price. With a very compact footprint and plenty of Vertuo pods to choose from, you’ll get delicious coffee at just the press of a button. View Deal

These AirPods lack active noise cancellation but you still get great audio and personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking without having to pay too much. 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.
Prefer noise cancellation as well? Grab the AirPods 4 with ANC for AU$185 (or 38% off).View Deal

SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen): was $249.95 now $147.25
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, and at a pretty good price too.View Deal

Momentum 4 Wireless: was $579 now $257
The 5th-gen version is out now, but it’s our Sennheiser Momentum 4 review that scored a full five stars, where 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.View Deal

Crispi Pro: was $499 now $290.70
I’ve just got me this air fryer, but I haven’t started using it yet… I can’t wait to cook up a storm that can potentially feed up to 10 people! Yes, its largest glass basket has a 5.7L capacity, so that’s a lotta chips! There’s another 2.3L borosilicate basket also in the box, so you can just cook a small portion too. And both come with lids, so you can serve in the same basket or cover and store in the fridge.View Deal

Baristina: was $599 now $359
The best entry-level bean-to-cup coffee maker has received a good discount for Prime Day. It’s simple to use, taking care of the grinding, tamping and pouring for you. The porta filter will even automatically slide into position for you. Do note there’s no milk frothing here, but a matching milk frother is available. Also available in black. View Deal

Instinct 2X Solar: was $769 now $379
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.View Deal

PowerDetect Clean & Empty: was $750 now $462.10
With powerful and dynamic suction, plenty of attachments and an auto-empty charging dock, this is arguably the best value non-Dyson cordless vacuum right now. Read our review for the full scoop. Often sold around the AU$750 price point, it as low as AU$438 at the start of this sale, but this is still a great bargain on what I think is the best stick vacuum cleaner in Australia. View Deal

I have a feeling the price of this budget phone will drop but that’s not a promise, it’s a hope. It’s still worth it at this price, as long as you don’t need the most powerful phone with all the bells and whistles. We called it a “competent all-rounder” in our Samsung Galaxy A57 review, but we also noted that it will not wow you.View Deal
Deals under AU$100

Video Doorbell 2K+: was $109 now $41
Already quite affordable, this Blink video doorbell can rival anything from the more expensive Ring line, while also offering a long battery life and IP65 weatherproofing. Also included is the Sync Module that you’ll need to make everything work, but you will need to take into account that it requires a Blink Subscription Plan if you want all its functions at your fingertips. Note that the ‘typical price’ listed was the July discount, so this is more than the displayed 7% discount.View Deal

TV Stick 4K Plus: was $99 now $45.60
This is just the previous Fire TV Stick 4K rebranded to a new name. So if you already have the original, there’s no need to upgrade, but for a first-time customer, you get Wi-Fi 6 support and a fast processor so you can get to your favourite streaming content that much quicker. All Fire TV Sticks now get you access to XBox Game Pass, so you don’t need a console to play if you already have a subscription.View Deal

Ultimate C: was $79.95 now $46.74
Sure, it’s a wired controller, but this gamepad is simple to use and durable, with drift-free hall effect analog sticks. In fact, the base of the sticks also have RGB, which is fantastic at this price. Being wired, however, means this isn’t ideal for couch play, but if you’re a PC gamer at your desk, it’ll do wonderfully well.
[Shipped and sold by Amazon UK]View Deal

Boasting a 12,000dpi ‘Hero’ sensor, as well as 6 programmable buttons, a 250-hour battery and onboard memory for your settings, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse is ideal for competitive play. Want to know more? Check out our review, but not that only the blue and lilac colourways get the best discount.View Deal

Outdoor 4 (2 pack): was $179 now $58.99
Read our review for the full scoop, but the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off batteries. It comes with an easy-to-use app and fairly good camera quality via a 1080p lens, and can store video when paired with a Blink Sync module.View Deal

iO 2: was $159.99 now $56.05
If you’re after a really good electric toothbrush that won’t cost an arm and a leg (or some teeth), then this is it. It’s an entry-level oscillating brush, which means it rotates at fast speeds and may not be ideal for people with sensitive or bleeding gums as that movement can be harsh, but it sure does remove a heck of a lot of plaque and keeps your teeth healthy. View Deal

Echo Dot (5th gen): was $99 now $59
Amazon’s Echo Dot it’s a great smart speaker with decent sound and Alexa built-in. It also has motion detection and can measure temperature, which is handy if you have a connected thermostat. It is a little long in the tooth now, having released in 2022, but it’s a bargain at this price.View Deal

Already affordable, these wireless buds have dropped to a record-low price (outdoing the previous one by a single cent). This is excellent value 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.View Deal

A Modo Mio Jolie Evo: was $129 now $64.99
The Lavazza Jolie machines are excellent and affordable alternatives to Nespresso. This Evo model just has a single button for extracting coffee (compared to the Jolie Plus that has programmable buttons), making it oh so simple to use. If you’d like the option to froth milk, you can get a bundle with a frother too. View Deal

Blast Water Flosser: was $179.99 now $65.78
If you don’t enjoy flossing the traditional way, use the power of water instead. Removing plaque using three different water pressure settings, this handy flosser will clean out those hard-to-reach gaps that your toothbrush can’t. Plus, it’s cordless, meaning you can take it on your travels too. Admittedly these were a lot cheaper in July (just over AU$48), but they were bestseller then, so it would be remiss of me to not include it here again.View Deal

Galaxy SmartTag 2 (4-pack): was $169 now $69
Samsung’s answer to the AirTag, the SmartTag 2 works with select Samsung phones to help you find mislaid items. It has a built-in hole for easier attachments, up to 700 days of battery life and it’s water-resistant. If you’re always losing stuff, this is a worthy investment that drops the price of each individual tracker to a mere AU$17.25 apiece.View Deal

Freeze Wand: was $149 now $84
The Ninja Creami is great and all, but paying almost AU$300 for an ice cream maker is a lot — but this one from Cuisinart costs a fraction of the price and also takes a lot less space too! It’s a versatile machine that makes ice cream, slushies, milkshakes, sorbets, and mix-ins to truly earn its space in the kitchen. You can even combine up to three flavours with three included dessert cups.View Deal

the Aroma Style: was $109.95 now $87
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. View Deal

MultiPro Go food processor: was $149 now $90.75
This food processor’s biggest drawcard is its small footprint (30cm tall and 16cm wide), making it great for those with smaller kitchens, but it also has a powerful 650W motor to help blitz foods to slice, grate, chop and knead in seconds. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the MultiPro Go, and you can read the full review here.View Deal

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. Honestly, at this price, it’s excellent value for everyday listening.View Deal

Air Circulator 460: was $179 now $94
We might be in the middle of winter, but there’s no denying some parts of Australia need a good fan year round. 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. View Deal

2000 Series: was $179 now $98
If you’re after a compact model that can feed one or two people, this Philips option is great for under a hundred dollary-doos. It’s been hovering around the AU$95 mark for a while, so it’s quite the best deal, but it’s still a discount that’s hard to pass up on an air fryer with a staggering 13 preset cooking options.View Deal
Headphones & speakers

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.View Deal

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.View Deal

Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds (Black Copper): was $499 now $247
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. View Deal

OpenRun Pro 2: was $319 now $227.05
Read our review for the full lowdown on why these are the ideal runners headphones. Importantly, this Pro 2 version that improves the sound quality by combining the bone conduction tech with an air conduction speaker. This discount beats the price from Black Friday last year, but is five cents more than July.View Deal

QuietComfort SC: was $499.95 now $243
Nearly as good as the gen 1 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 rather than the hard one for the more expensive set.View Deal

WH1000-XM6 (pink): was $699.95 now $513
It’s a pity only one colourway is going for this price, but if you don’t mind the dusty pink of Sony’s latest flagship cans, you’ll be in for a treat. Arguably one of the best headphones available today, there’s no doubting performance here, with beautifully balanced sound and great ANC.View Deal

Boom 4: was $229.95 now $158.85
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.View Deal
Vacuum cleaners

This is a very different Dreame R10 to the one we’ve previously reviewed on TechRadar, but if it performs anything like the light-coloured version that has since been discontinued, then I think this is excellent value. For not a lot of money, this appliance promises up to 45 minutes of runtime and a bendy wand to get under furniture. It even comes with a wall-mount attachment.View Deal

Cordless Vacuum with Self Cleaning Brushroll (IZ102): was $549 now $189
We haven’t tested this cordless vacuum ourselves but user reviews are glowing and I think that says something. For quick and daily vacuuming, this is great and excellent value and is currently at an all-time low price on Amazon.View Deal

Arguably the cheapest Dyson available right now, the V8 Origin is pretty much the same machine as the standard V8, just with a red wand and barely any additional accessories shipping in the box along with it — which explains the lower price. Honestly, I think the standard V8 is the better buy, but if cash is tight and you really want a Dyson, this will suit you fine with up to 40 minutes of runtime.View Deal

F25 Ace: was $999 now $349
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.View Deal

X40 Ultra (black): was $2799 now $712.49
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 now two generations old but I’d still recommend it today, especially at this price. View Deal

L50 Ultra CE: was $2199 now $999.99
Want the latest Dreame tech? Released earlier this year, this robovac packs everything that Dreame models are good at — excellent suction, decent mopping, superb obstacle avoidance, pet-zone cleaning and so much more — into a sleek machine. OK, so it looks like all the others, but c’mon, you can’t tell me the white with metallic accents don’t fit into any home.View Deal

This is the robovac I would consider buying if I didn’t already have a high-end Dreame machine that’s been cleaning my home like… a dream. This Roborock is slimlined to crawl under furniture (no navigation puck here), and can raise not just its mop pads, but its side brush to avoid scattering and excessive tangling. Its headline act, however, has to be its cleaning prowess — our Roborock Saros 10R review didn’t score 4.5 stars for nothing!View Deal
Coffee machines

Dedica Arte: was $299 now $196.95
This compact manual coffee machine can pour up to two espresso shots at once and features a steam wand for cafe-quality milk foaming. There’s no built-in grinder, but you either use ground coffee beans or invest in a separate grinder using the cash you save with this deal. View Deal

La Specialista Arte: was $649 now $444
This gorgeous-looking, easy-to-use, bean-to-cup espresso machine is a worthy addition to any coffee lover’s kitchen. It’s relatively compact, too, and pours delicious espresso with little to no skill involved. Note that this is the non-Evo model, meaning it can’t make cold brew. The Evo model is out of stock at the time of writing.View Deal

The Breville Bambino Plus is incredibly simple to use, and can take care of most of the coffee making process for you. Grind some beans into the porta filter, insert it into the group head and use the one-touch controls to brew. It also has a hands-free milk texturing system for expertly frothed milk, while ThermoJet technology means the machine is ready to use in seconds. There’s very little you need to do to simply enjoy the results — now AU$20 more than what it cost at the start of the sale.View Deal

4400 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine: was $1199 now $563.99
This Philips bean-to-cup machine can make 12 coffee-based drinks, all of which are served perfectly, and can be customised to suit your tastes. We weren’t too fond of its milk frothing skills in our LatteGo 4400 Series review, but at this price, I can’t recommend it highly enough since it’s the lowest I can remember it dropping to, thanks to an additional AU$175 coupon you need check on the listing page. View Deal

Luxe Café Premier: was $799.99 now $577.89
This 3-in-1 coffee machine brews quality espresso, drip coffee and even fast cold brew using its Barista Assist technology, an integrated grinder and weight-based dosing. There’s a lot it can do, and it does it very well. And it’s just dropped in price by about AU$11 in the Oat Milk colourway.View Deal

The Barista Express (Stainless Steel): was $999 now $599
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. This manual coffee machine streamlines the brewing process from beans to latte with its integrated conical burr grinder, steam wand and precise espresso extraction. View Deal

It’s an expensive machine but 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, this could be a good investment.View Deal
Air fryers

Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer (AF300): was $249.99 now $127
This is an excellent price for the air fryer we awarded five stars to in our Ninja AF300UK review. It has six easy-to-use cooking functions and a total 7.6L capacity dual drawer setup, which can cook separate foods and sync timers to finish simultaneously — perfect for a couple.View Deal

Multi Zone Air Fryer Oven: was $299 now $162.45
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.View Deal

DoubleStack XXXL: was $599.99 now $170.05
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.View Deal

3000 Series dual basket air fryer (9L): was $349 now $170.05
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. View Deal

This compact air fryer packs 1700W of power into a portable design, with two borosilicate glassware containers that serve as both frying baskets and serving dishes. The borosilicate means they can also withstand extreme temperatures, making it easy to take your favourite foods from frozen to crispy, and it’s safer to use than any non-stick basket. The Crispi also comes with two removable crisping grates and two snap-on container lids for easy food-storage post-feast.View Deal

5000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer Steam: was $499 now $224.20
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.View Deal
Summer essentials

Creami Deluxe: was $449.99 now $283.10
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, although it was over AU$50 cheaper in July.View Deal

The Ninja Slushi lets you skip the ice and still enjoy perfectly smooth icy drinks with very little effort. Whether you’re craving a frappe, smoothie, or even a cheeky spiked slushi, its multiple drink modes have you covered. Check out our Ninja Slushi review for the full rundown. View Deal

Tower Fan 5000: was $179 now $113.05
When space is a premium and you only require cooling in a focused area, then a tower fan might be for you. This one from Philips is only 23.8cm deep and wide to fit a small space like a corner or a narrow hallway, while also standing 109.5cm tall to provide more cooling.View Deal

This fan can be used either at home, plugged in, or on the go with its built-in battery that’s rated for up to 12 hours of continuous operation. The water droplets from the misting function are ultra-fine and come from an integrated tank, so the feature also works while on the go. A built-in handle and lightweight 1.76kg body also make the FlexBreeze HydroGo easy to transport and move around.View Deal

This bladeless fan may be the priciest in this list, but this discount still makes the Shark TurboBlade Ultra a more affordable option than Dyson’s offerings. The fan can either be set horizontally to cover a wider area or vertically for more focused cooling. It comes with 10 speed options and different noise levels to suit whatever your cooling needs are.View Deal

2.5Kw portable air conditioner: was $299.99 now $239.99
This portable aircon can rapidly cool down a space of up to 20sqm while also running relatively quietly for as low as 64db. We haven’t reviewed this yet, but it has dozens of 5-star user reviews for its ease of installation and effectiveness.View Deal

portable air conditioner: was $379.80 now $303.84
This portable aircon also doubles as a dehumidifier and can cool down a room of up to 30sqm, while also running at 64db during low-speed mode. TechRadar hasn’t reviewed this yet, but it has a handful of 5-star user reviews praising its portability and performance.View Deal
Personal care

The Beard Hedger: was $159.99 now $119.99
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.View Deal

Series 9000 Prestige wet & dry shaver: was $209 now $113.53
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. View Deal

Gleam Hair Dryer: was $169.99 now $66.47
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. View Deal

The Oral-B iO 6 is a smart brush that can recognise your personal brushing style and provide feedback via the companion app to improve it. It also features a pressure sensor and an interactive display, as well a ring timer letting you know when to move on to a different section of your pearly whites. View Deal

Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 (2-pack): was $619 now $249
If you didn’t know what a ‘sonic’ brush is, it’s quieter and gentler than an oscillating electric toothbrush (like Oral-B). The DiamondClean 9000 has 4 cleaning modes, and one of them gets you 3 intensities. This value pack gets you a his-and-hers version, plus the glass is actually the charger.View Deal
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?View Deal

SR-B30A soundbar: was $499 now $309
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.View Deal

In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we said this soundbar rivals the Sonos Arc, which is the best Sonos soundbar we’ve tried. The Smart Ultra is compact, beautifully built, and offers plenty of control options to go with its wide, detailed sound. View Deal

Arguably one of the most iconic turntables available right now, the Sound Burger is lightweight, works wirelessly with up to 12 hours of playtime, has Bluetooth connectivity and is easy to use. It’s a fabulous entry into the world of vinyl at a fantastic price.View Deal

PS-LX310BT turntable with Bluetooth: was $399 now $255.55
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. View Deal
Phones & tablets

17T (512GB): was $1199 now $889
It looks like an iPhone and can rival Apple’s performance too, thanks to a powerful chipset under the hood. In fact, our tester was quite impressed with this phone in our Xiaomi 17T review, with the biggest issue being bloatware. If that doesn’t bother you, we gave this one four stars.View Deal

Galaxy Tab A11+ (128GB, Wi-Fi): was $399 now $339
The latest in Samsung’s well-received budget tablet range, the A11 picks up where the A9 left off, and at the same price too. This is the base model, with just Wi-Fi connectivity and 128GB of storage, but you can expand that easily to up to 2TB via a microSD card. If you need an Android tablet for daily use like browsing, watching videos and maybe playing a few games, this one’s well worth considering, although it has been available for less than AU$300 previously.View Deal

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024): was $329 now $259
With more storage than the standard Paperwhite, a brighter screen and wireless charging, the Paperwhite Signature Edition is arguably better value than the base model above if you think you’ll make full use of the storage and its wireless charging capabilities. If not, you’re better off going with the standard Paperwhite, although its meagre discount is rather disappointing.View Deal

Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition: was $419 now $334
The Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best ereaders with a colour display, even offering a feature to make the hues more vivid. While I wouldn’t recommend at full price, this discount makes it a little easier on the pocket for the 32GB version that also has wireless charging.View Deal
Fitness trackers & smartwatches

Ring 4 (silver, black): was $449 now $317
We called it “nearly the perfect fitness tracker” in our Oura Ring 4 review, praising the design, ease-of-use, long-lasting battery and detailed health information it offers. This fascinating bit of tech hasn’t been cheaper and, even though you need a subscription, it can be well worth it for the comprehensive health data you can get. Note that prices vary depending on colour and size, but most are discounted.View Deal

Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition: was $1699.01 now $829
While it’s been cheaper before (having dropped to AU$684 in July this year), you get the same core functionality of the Fenix 9 — like multi-band GPS tracking, a built-in LED torch, core mapping data, and premium materials like scratch-free sapphire lenses and titanium bezels — for a much lower price.View Deal

Forerunner 265S: was $799 now $498
The ‘S’ in the name stands for ‘small’, meaning this specific Garmin was made for petite wrists and features a 42mm vibrant OLED display. You also get Multiband GPS, an intuitive menu navigation, excellent battery life, plenty of Garmin fitness features… and, oh, did I mention the OLED display? Just note that only the pink option is currently in stock.View Deal
Cameras

Brave 7 LE: was $249.99 now $193.79
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.View Deal

PowerShot V10: was $699 now $499
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. View Deal

Tough TG-7: was $644.91 now $598
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.View Deal

PowerShot V1: was $1449 now $1015
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.View Deal

EOS R8 (body): was $2599 now $1529
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.View Deal

Z6 III (body): was $4499 now $2602
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. Note that this offer is from a third-party reseller and not Amazon AU.View Deal
Dash cams

E1 Mini: was $239.99 now $126.99
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.View Deal

A510 dash cam: was $269.99 now $170.98
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.View Deal
Gaming hardware

Nova Lite: was $45 now $32
This is an excellent budget PC controller and affordable even at full price, but let’s not scoff at the AU$13 saving, shall we? Despite its price, there’s plenty here to get your game on, including 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, a wired option via the Type-C port, and 10 hours of battery life. The build quality isn’t the best and there’s no audio jack but, for under AU$50, it’s a fab buy.View Deal

Quest 3S (128GB): was $569 now $454
This deal offers you a significant saving on the new, higher price 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.View Deal

Please don’t confuse this with the ROG Xbox Ally X, which has more powerful specs. This is the cheaper sibling that now costs AU$10 more than its July Prime Day price. However, given the price hikes across the board on all game consoles, this seems like a tempting buy right now. This was AU$799 during Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale in early June, but it would be remiss of me to not list this discount here.View Deal

Legion Go S: was $1199 now $997
This handheld gaming PC has been cheaper before, dropping to the AU$899 mark but, then again, nothing really comes cheap these days. Importantly, though, this is a great performer, with a vivid 8-inch display and 144Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay. It’s also rather nice looking and comfortable in the hand.View Deal

G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed: was $299 now $186.33
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. View Deal

AW2725Q QD-OLED (2025): was $1199 now $813.01
A nice 30% 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.View Deal

AW3425DW QD-OLED (2025): was $1499 now $971.22
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.View Deal
PC peripherals

Lift: was $129.95 now $74.24
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. View Deal

MX Master 3S (Bluetooth Edition): was $149.95 now $89.99
The Logitech MX Master range have been some of my favourite mice of all time, thanks to the ergonomic design, multiple customisable buttons, and a second scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling (or for flicking through multiple browser tabs). This version is Bluetooth-only, meaning it doesn’t have the Logi Bolt USB dongle and a USB-C charging cable included in the box.View Deal

L24-4E 23.8-inch monitor: was $179 now $117
A 100Hz-refresh-rate monitor for just AU$100? Sign me up! This display from Lenovo may be a bit small at under 24 inches with a 1080p resolution, but it uses IPS technology for sharp image quality. This is price is the lowest we’ve seen this monitor go on Amazon.View Deal

K100 Air wireless gaming keyboard: was $489 now $284.88
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, so good thing there’s a discount.

Eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi Router (3-pack): was $599.99 now $419.98
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. View Deal

eero Pro 7 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 7 router: was $529.99 now $397.49
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. View Deal
Smart home

Mini Smart Plug (4 pack): was $69.99 now $48.99
I’ve tried a fair few smart home devices in my time but not the Meross smart plugs. Still, something has got to be said about the 4.6-star rating on Amazon with some very happy customers saying it’s a great product. Smart plugs are a great way to turn any gadget at home into a smart one, including lamps and kettles. Where the Meross stands out from other affordable offerings is by also featuring an energy monitor — a great way to keep tabs on your usage and save money on power bills.View Deal

Echo Hub: was $329 now $118
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 — now at its lowest price yet.View Deal

Matter Smart Multicolor Floor Lamp: was $149.99 now $119.20
As of October last year, the RRP for this floor lamp was just AU$149, something that made me give it a high value score on my Nanoleaf Smart Multicolor Floor Lamp review. Now, though, the RRP is AU$169.99 – blame inflation, I suppose — but Amazon is still sticking with the original price. What that means is this is a bigger discount than it first appears. Either way, this is one of the cheapest smart lamps you can get, one that does exactly what it promises on the tin. I have one in my bedroom and, although it’s not bright, it creates lovely wall-washing effects.View Deal

Echo Dot Max: was $199 now $119
This little speaker might be priced higher than the older Echo Dot models, but then it takes what Amazon’s palm-sized smart speakers can do to the, well, max. It improves on sound with higher bass than the previous Echo Dot to make streaming music a much better experience. View Deal

Shapes (Hexagon; 9pk): was $349.99 now $191.42
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good Nanoleaf Shapes discount on Amazon, so I’m stoked to find this. It will make a lovely Christmas gift or you can use it to create spooky Halloween effects this month, the possibilities are endless if you want to get creative. I’m not a great fan of the Nanoleaf app itself but I can’t fault the lights.View Deal

I much prefer this design of the newest Echo Show 8 smart display, now powered by a AZ3 Pro chip for better performance and 15% more screen real estate than previous generations. It’s a much better smart hub now, with Alexa at your beck and call (and fingertips).View Deal
Hello and welcome back to my ongoing live coverage of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale. And, guess what? It’s proving to be a rather big deal indeed. I honestly wasn’t expected the kind of prices I’m seeing right now — I assumed that would happen during the Amazon Black Friday sale.
That begs the question: if prices are already low now, would we see even better discounts in November? Well, we can hope but there are no guarantees. So if a price looks right to you and it’s an item you’ve had on your shopping list for a while, grab it now.
Black Friday vs Prime Big Deal Days: should you wait?

In some ways, it’s good to wait till Black Friday sales kick off in Australia for purchasing big-ticket items like TVs and laptops as nearly every retailer will be vying for your attention. However, for most items available on Amazon, this year’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is proving to be quite good than previous ones, so you can get a head start on your Christmas gift shopping — I would highly recommend it.
So it all depends on what exactly it is that you’d like to buy. If it’s Halloween decorations or Christmas gifts, indeed shop now. For the more expensive tech, I would suggest you wait, but there’s no guarantee you’ll get stock later. As always, if a price suits your budget now on a product sold on Amazon AU, splurge away.
