Daylight savings is nearly upon us and if, like me, you'll have trouble adjusting, may I recommend some retail therapy?
With Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale still going strong, there's an even better excuse to indulge. This shopping event gives you a great opportunity to get your Christmas gifting sorted as there are plenty of items going cheap right now — just take a look at these 10 beauties for under AU$100.
• Shop Amazon's full Prime Big Deal Days sale
There are plenty of other great deals too, including all-time low prices on a plethora of top-rated tech. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy A57 dropping from AU$749 to AU$519 was so good, the phone disappeared in a night!
Thankfully other record-low prices are still available. Some of the highlights I think are the Philips Baristina coffee machine dropping from a discounted AU$398 to AU$378, then to AU$359; a couple of JBL Grip Bluetooth speaker colourways dropping to under AU$70, the Ninja Crispi Pro down to an all-time low of AU$290.70 and 63% off on the Roborock H60 Hub Plus, which is arguably the best-value self-emptying vacuum deal right now.
Pretty much every deal is 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.

Editor's picks: today's top deals
JBL Grip: was AU$125 now AU$69.95 at Amazon
The JBL Grip plugs the gap between the smaller Clip and formidable Flip. It's a compact speaker that delivers a big sound, offers impressive protection against dust and water and has some nifty LED lighting on its rear. The Flip 7 is still our top recommendation, but with the Grip currently at the lowest price we have seen for a couple of colour options, it's a great buy.
Logitech MX Master 3S (Bluetooth Edition): was AU$149.95 now AU$89.99 at Amazon
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.
Nespresso Vertuo Pop: was AU$229 now AU$92.15 at Amazon
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.
Apple AirPods 4: was AU$219 now AU$143 at Amazon
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).

Ninja Crispi Pro: was AU$499 now AU$290.70 at Amazon
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.
Great value
Save 63% (AU$500)
Roborock H60 Hub Plus: was AU$799 now AU$299 at Amazon
We've tested the slightly different H60 Hub Ultra here on TechRadar, but not this cheaper, slightly less powerful model. And yet this could be one of the best-value self-emptying stick vacuums to buy right now. For this discounted price you get a lot: up to 170AW of suction, a maximum 80-minute runtime, a free-standing self-emptying dock that has room for attachments, and a green-lit floorhead to spot tiny dirt particles. You don't need much more.
Deals under AU$100
GameSir Nova Lite: was AU$45 now AU$32 at Amazon
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.
Blink Video Doorbell 2K+: was AU$109 now AU$41 at Amazon
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.
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus: was AU$99 now AU$45.60 at Amazon
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.
Oral-B iO 2: was AU$159.99 now AU$56.05 at Amazon
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.
Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen): was AU$99 now AU$59 at Amazon
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.
Colgate Blast Water Flosser: was AU$179.99 now AU$65.78 at Amazon
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.
Lowest price
Save 59% (AU$100)
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 (4-pack): was AU$169 now AU$69 at Amazon
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.
Cuisinart Freeze Wand: was AU$149 now AU$84 at Amazon
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.
Breville the Aroma Style: was AU$109.95 now AU$87 at Amazon
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.
Vornado Air Circulator 460: was AU$179 now AU$94 at Amazon
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.
Philips 2000 Series: was AU$179 now AU$98 at Amazon
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.
Headphones & speakers
Technics EAH-AZ80 : was AU$449 now AU$236 at Amazon
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.
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: was AU$449.95 now AU$246.05 at Amazon
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.
Bose QuietComfort SC: was AU$499.95 now AU$243 at Amazon
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.
Sony WH1000-XM6 (pink): was AU$699.95 now AU$513 at Amazon
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.
Vacuum cleaners
Dreame R10: was AU$399 now AU$142.49 at Amazon
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.
Dyson V8 Origin: was AU$499 now AU$284.99 at Amazon
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.

Save 65% (AU$650)
Roborock F25 Ace: was AU$999 now AU$349 at Amazon
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.
Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow: was AU$2,499 now AU$799 at Amazon
We haven't tested this specific model but we were rather impressed by the Qrevo Curv 2 Pro that's not available in Australia. The Flow version has slightly lower suction (20,000Pa vs 25,000Pa) and uses a roller mop rather than dual pads which I personally prefer. It is a slightly taller bot compared to the Pro model, but if you don't have a lot of low-lying furniture, I would trust this machine based on all other impressive Roborock robovacs my colleagues and I have tested.
Dreame L50 Ultra CE: was AU$2,199 now AU$999.99 at Amazon
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.
Roborock Saros 10R: was AU$2,899 now AU$1,449 at Amazon
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!
Coffee machines
De'Longhi Dedica Arte: was AU$299 now AU$196.95 at Amazon
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.
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte : was AU$649 now AU$444 at Amazon
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.
Breville Bambino Plus: was AU$729 now AU$487 at Amazon
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.
Ninja Luxe Café Premier: was AU$799.99 now AU$577.89 at Amazon
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.
De'Longhi Eletta Explore: was AU$1,999 now AU$949 at Amazon
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.
Air fryers
Sunbeam Multi Zone Air Fryer Oven: was AU$299 now AU$162.45 at 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.

Save 72% (AU$429.94)
Ninja DoubleStack XXXL: was AU$599.99 now AU$170.05 at Amazon
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.
Philips 3000 Series dual basket air fryer (9L): was AU$349 now AU$170.05 at Amazon
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.
Ninja Crispi: was AU$299.99 now AU$178 at Amazon
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.
Phones & tablets
Samsung Galaxy S26 (256GB): was AU$1,549 now AU$1,127 at Amazon
Costing less than Apple’s budget phone — the AU$1,149 iPhone 17e — the base model Samsung Galaxy S26 is a true flagship device with three camera lenses, 12GB of RAM and the full Galaxy AI suite. We've seen this dip below AU$1,000 recently, but this price is still a bargain given how much more expensive flagship phones are these days. Amazon has the Black, Cobalt Violet, Sky Blue and White colours available for this price, and you can also trade in an old phone for more savings.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ (128GB, Wi-Fi): was AU$399 now AU$339 at Amazon
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.
Summer must-haves
SodaStream Art (Black): was AU$169 now AU$86.45 at Amazon
SodaStream is a leading name in sparkling water makers and the Art is an entry-level model that uses a retro-inspired pull lever to add CO2 to water rather than the usual button on models like the SodaStream Terra. This sparkling water maker will also get you a bottle and a gas cylinder to start, and you can purchase flavourings and get the cylinder replaced or refilled easily enough.
Breville The InFizz Fusion: was AU$299 now AU$199 at Amazon
A welcome saving on Breville's answer to the SodaStream. Not only can you use the InFizz Fusion to carbonate water, but you can fizz any liquid you can think of — other than hot beverages of course. This nifty machine is sure to be a hit during at-home cocktail nights.
Ninja Creami Deluxe: was AU$449.99 now AU$283.10 at Amazon
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.
Ninja Slushi: was AU$599.99 now AU$229 at Amazon
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.
Philips Tower Fan 5000: was AU$179 now AU$113.05 at Amazon
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.
Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo: was AU$171.50 now AU$113.05 at Amazon
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.
Shark TurboBlade Ultra: was AU$399.99 now AU$279 at Amazon
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.
Personal care
Manscaped The Beard Hedger: was AU$159.99 now AU$119.99 at Amazon
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.
Dreame Gleam Hair Dryer: was AU$169.99 now AU$66.47 at Amazon
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.
Oral-B iO 6: was AU$529 now AU$179.55 at Amazon
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.
Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 (2-pack): was AU$619 now AU$249 at Amazon
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.
Home entertainment & Hi-Fi
Amazon Fire TV Cube: was AU$219 now AU$141.55 at Amazon
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?
Creative Stage Pro: was AU$229.95 now AU$179.95 at Amazon
This budget-friendly 2.1 soundbar is ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their TV or computer audio without spending much money. We were pleasantly surprised by how it performed in our Creative Stage Pro review, finding it delivered impressive bass and excellent volume. Given its size and price, expectations should be tempered, but for a cost-effective audio upgrade, it's ace.
Sony PS-LX310BT turntable with Bluetooth: was AU$399 now AU$230 at Amazon
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. Please note that this is a bigger discount than the 14% Amazon is displaying as the listed 'typical price' was the previous discounted price.
Limited stock
Save 42% (AU$182)
Audio-Technica Sound Burger: was AU$429 now AU$247 at Amazon
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.
Fitness trackers & smartwatches
Oura Ring 4 (silver, black): was AU$449 now AU$317 at Amazon
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.
Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition: was AU$1,699.01 now AU$829 at Amazon
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.
Garmin Forerunner 265S: was AU$799 now AU$498 at Amazon
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?
Dash cams
Best price
Save 47% (AU$113)
Vantrue E1 Mini: was AU$239.99 now AU$126.99 at Amazon
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.
70mai A510 dash cam: was AU$269.99 now AU$170.98 at 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.
Gaming hardware
Meta Quest 3S (128GB): was AU$569 now AU$454 at Amazon
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.
Asus ROG Xbox Ally: was AU$999 now AU$849 at Amazon
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.
Lenovo Legion Go S : was AU$1,199 now AU$997 at Amazon
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.
8Bitdo Ultimate C: was AU$79.95 now AU$46.74 at Amazon
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.

PC peripherals
Logitech Lift: was AU$129.95 now AU$71.24 at Amazon
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.
Lenovo L24-4E 23.8-inch monitor: was AU$179 now AU$117 at Amazon
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.
Logitech MX Keys S Combo: was AU$399 now AU$221 at Amazon
The MX Keys S Combo is an excellent desk upgrade if you want a premium keyboard and mouse without paying anywhere near the usual bundle price. It combines the backlit MX Keys S with the quiet, ergonomic MX Master 3S, plus a palm rest, and both can switch between up to three devices.
Samsung 1TB T9 portable SSD: was AU$549 now AU$369.99 at Amazon
I've used the T5 previously and currently use the 2TB T7 Shield, and while it's tempting to upgrade, it's still plenty fast. So just imagine how good the upgraded portable SSD will be for you if you're looking for a safe and reliable backup solution for all your files. The 1TB T9 has apparently been as cheap as AU$190 before, but that was way back in 2024. It's since hovered around this price.
Smart home
Meross Mini Smart Plug (4 pack): was AU$69.99 now AU$48.99 at Amazon
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.
Amazon Echo Hub: was AU$329 now AU$118 at Amazon
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.
Nanoleaf Matter Smart Multicolor Floor Lamp: was AU$149.99 now AU$119.20 at Amazon
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.
Nanoleaf Shapes (Hexagon; 9pk): was AU$349.99 now AU$191.42 at Amazon
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.
Amazon Echo Show 8: was AU$349 now AU$239 at Amazon
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).
