Save AU$64.01

After owning multiple wireless mice whose non-removable lithium-ion batteries have died, a couple of years ago I bought this exact DeathAdder from Razer for one simple reason: it uses either a single AA or AAA battery for power, so I won't ever be stuck with a paperweight due to failed batteries again. Despite being a generation behind, it's also a fab performer when it comes to gaming, with a dedicated 2.4GHz model and included USB receiver. Super easy to recommend at 59% off.

Save AU$50

Save AU20.02

Already affordable, these wireless buds in the Black colourway get a 30% discount – the lowest price we've seen. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time. If black's not for you, the other four colours are also heavily discounted.

Save AU$124

It's a basic air fryer with a 4L capacity that's perfect for a single person or a couple. This kitchen appliance is good value as it will do more than just air fry – it has 12 different functions to help you make a meal.

Our current pick as the best budget earbuds (even at their original price) the Sony WF-C510 deliver a punchy, detailed sound complete with support for 360 Reality Audio spatial audio. They do miss out on ANC, but otherwise they're a fantastic set of earbuds that prove you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for great sound. The deal price here is for all colours.

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. While the Colgate Blast is often sold for the same 50% discount seen here, it's still a solid deal and not much above the lowest price we have seen.

Save AU$33.03

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. This deal is about AU$7 higher than the lowest we have seen, but it's still an excellent discount.

Save AU$70.95

Down to an a record-low price for Black Friday but only in one colour option, the JBL Flip 6 is truly a powerhouse for such a small speaker.

Save AU$52

Looking for a fun way to encourage your child to remain active? This is a great activity tracker that's also swimproof. It's also got great battery life and is sized well for small wrists. However, it does require a paired phone to work, so if your child hasn't yet been given one, it might make managing the device a bit of a chore. Available in a few different colour options via the same listing.

Save AU$59.02

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. It's battery life also promises to be just as good – up to 4 weeks on a single charge. It also happens to waterproof.

It's not quite the discount we were hoping for, but Samsung's flagship smartphone has received a 19% discount for Black Friday. With an S Pen to make photography fun and easy, plus aid in productivity, this is a powerhouse phone. This discount applies to the Titanium Grey, Purple and Yellow options, while the Titanium Black is AU$1,787.

Save AU$103

There's something about Nothing that makes you sit up and take notice... yeah, it's the design, isn't it? Even under the hood there's something going on, with a clean OS, great performance and battery life, plus a dial camera system that's not too shabby for the price. Right now, though, only the white colour option is discounted.

Save AU$53

Samsung's budget handsets are excellent, and the Galaxy A55 is such a nice smartphone that it sits well beside the Galaxy S24 range – and with more than AU$50 slashed from the price of the Awesome Lilac model, it might be time to pick this phone up if you're after an affordable phone. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen for the handset (we've previously seen it as low as AU$543) but it's still a nice price to pay for one of 2024's best phones. Just keep in mind we may yet see it cheaper.

Save AU$62

Announced in October, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition gets you a fancy new colour in Australia, alongside the usual Black. You can get both for the same 19% discount, which nets you the best black-and-white e-paper display yet! It's fast, looks wonderful and gets you 32GB of internal storage. You also get wireless charging that no other ereader brand offers.

Save AU$52

A 17% discount is a little disappointing, but then the 2024 Paperwhite remains the best Kindle you can get – I should know, I'm currently in process of testing it for TechRadar. Its E Ink Carta 1300 screen is fantastic, page turns are quick and, in the few days I've used it, I've had no issues with lag or ghosting. That said, for just AU$20 more, I think the Signature Edition listed above is a better bargain.

Save AU$32

I've only just finished testing the latest release of the basic Kindle and, while I think it's got great performance, I was finding it hard to recommend at full price. This small 16% discount takes care of that little niggle for me and, if you're after a lovely Christmas present for someone who loves to read, my recommendation would be the Matcha Green colour rather than the usual Black.

Save AU$130

One of Samsung's best cheap 11-inch tablets is now available for under AU$250. If you don't need a heck of a lot of storage, grab this bargain tablet, whether you're looking for a movie streamer, web browser or a reasonable multi-tasking companion.

Save AU$113

It might not be the latest model but the 2022 iPad sure is great value even at full price. If you don't need a lot of storage, the 64GB Wi-Fi option is now 19% off, dropping it back to the lowest price that we saw in late October. For your money, you're getting a tablet with a decent A14 Bionic chip, a 12MP rear and front camera, plus Touch ID and Apple Pay.

Save AU$162

It's only 12% off but that's standard discounting for Apple's more premium iPads, even during Black Friday. But if you want some grunt under the hood of your new tablet, consider this saving on the 13-inch iPad Air. The M2 chip gives it some serious chops, it's Wi-Fi 6 enabled and comes with a USB-C port.

Save AU$290

Save AU$169.01

Check out our Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro review for the full insight, but rest assured these earbuds have a lightweight and comfortable design that delivers fantastic sound quality, with active noise-cancellation and 360º spatial sound. While we have seen better discounts for the Buds 2 Pro, this is still a great price.

Save AU$80

The AirPods 2 were briefly back to their lowest price of AU$289 that we saw in October, but the discount has been reduced to AU$80 – that's disappointing, but it's still a nice saving. They're an excellent pair of noise-cancelling in-ears, especially for iPhone owners, capable of drowning out virtually all external sounds. This model is the latest and comes with a charging case that recharges via USB-C cable.

Save AU$105

Despite there being a fourth iteration, the UE Boom 3 is an excellent party speaker, pumping out powerful sound for its deceptively small size. It’s also waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating, and can withstand some knocking about with its rugged design. If you want to blast your favourite tunes by the pool, you can currently pick up either the Lagoon Blue or the Ultraviolet Purple for AU$124 on Amazon, while most of the other colourways will set you back AU$134.

Save AU$100.95

The Bose SoundLink Flex is a mighty fine portable Bluetooth speaker that already presented itself as a solid buy at its original price. You get 12 hours of playback time from a single charge, a lightweight, compact and wholly portable body and a big Bose sound that is among the best in this class. Oh, and it's IP67 rated to protect against dust and water, and it can even float in water too, making it the ideal addition to pool parties etc.

Save AU$254

Delivering Dolby Atmos sound at a relatively affordable price, this Sony soundbar is a feature-packed option offering dynamic sound with clear dialogue. For your money, you also get Bluetooth connectivity and AirPlay 2 support, plus HDMI eARC support is also available. That's pretty good value for money right there.

Save AU$146

The Sony HT-S2000 might be the right soundbar to pick up if you want great quality but don't want to break the bank. In our Sony HT-S2000 review, we found that the soundbar provided impressive sound quality and we loved the support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, though we would have liked a wireless streaming alternative to Bluetooth and voice assistant support. Still, the soundbar received a Techradar Recommends seal of approval. This is the cheapest we've ever see the HT-S2000 sold for, so if you've been looking for a cheap and powerful soundbar on sale, this might be the one.

Save AU$250

Back to the price it was through most of October, the latest Quest VR headset now comes bundled with one game to get you started. Considering I've not seen this bundle drop any lower than AU$799, I'm not convinced we'll see a better price when Amazon does kick off its official Black Friday sale, so don't dally if you want to experience the world of VR or are keen to upgrade.

Save AU$40

It might be a measly 8% price drop, but let's not scorn it. Chances are we will see a better discount on the Switch OLED when the actual sales starts, but if you can't wait, take advantage of this AU$40 saving and get gaming on one of the nicest screens on a handheld console.

Save AU$40.95

We called this fourth Dragon Age title "a mightily impressive return to the fantasy series" in our 4-star review, and although it was only released a couple of weeks back on Nov 1, it's now available with a sweet 32% off the RRP at Amazon AU (which matches the mega online retailer's preorder price). Available on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Save AU$54.96

Save AU$21.35

Save AU$69

It's gotten some rave reviews since its release earlier this year, making it one of the best games of 2024. Combine that with the 63% discount you're getting here, and you have a compelling argument for why one should never buy a game at launch. Survivor has been steadily dropping in price since launch, but this is the lowest price we've seen yet.

Save AU$45.95

This long-awaited sequel is a fast-paced third-person shooter with some fantastic graphics: watching many hundreds of baddies swarm through colossal arenas is a sight to behold. If you haven't experienced it yet, take advantage of this 42% discount, which is generous consider the game's only been out for a month or so.

The cheapest and most compact GoPro ever, the Hero is designed to be a simple and affordable active camera. It only weighs 86g even with a display fitted to the back and its sizeable 4K-capable camera. it can be immersed in up to 5m of water and is fitted with a single capture button for simplicity. Compared to the mainline GoPro active cameras, there aren't as many video options and you only get a choice of three aspect ratios, however the battery life is still impressive at up to 100 minutes.

Stock on Amazon is running out, but if it's no longer available, The Good Guys will price beat its own AU$299.

Save AU$280

It might lack some features that the Mini Pro drones have, but that's also what makes the Mini 3 cheaper in comparison. It's still one of our favourite compact consumer drones and will shoot 4K video at up to 30fps and take 12MP stills. It has a max flight time of 38 minutes, which is pretty good, but just beware strong winds.

Save AU$41.06

21% off the SQ1 is a pretty decent discount and would make a fun, but more mature-looking, instant camera gift. As part of the Square range of Instax cameras, it produces square prints as opposed to the credit card-sized ones the Mini 12 spews. It's currently available in three colourways to suit different personalities – all at slightly different prices.

Save AU$110

While not quite the revolutionary camera we were expecting to see in 2023, the Osmo Action 4 got one major upgrade that we loved – a superior sensor. With horizon balance, better low-light performance than any other action camera and a noise-cancelling 3-mic system, this model from last year is still one of the best rivals to GoPro you can get a much lower price.

Save AU$887.85

This is a good saving on the single-lens kit of what we consider to be one of the best beginner cameras. It's a lot of camera for this kind of money, with a 24.2MP sensor, really good autofocus performance and up to 40fps burst speed.

Save AU$1,150

It's only been out a few months and it has had over AU$940 slashed off its price at the start of the sale, but this might just be a record-low already!

Save AU$230.01

Rebranded to be part of the OM System lineup, this the latest in the Tough rugged camera range that Olympus began.

Save AU$305.10

Bridge cameras have made a small comeback thanks to Panasonic resurrecting the Lumix FZ80 in July this year. Featuring an 18MP 1/2.3-inch sensor, a USB-C port for charging and a 2,360K-dot OLED EVF that's better than before, and an upgraded rear LCD with 1,840K dots resolution, it's quite the upgrade.

And given the two-pack makes more economical sense to pick up, you place one on either side of your telly to create some stunning backlighting. While you will need a Hue Hub (sold separately) if you want to sync or screen mirror, the Play can still create quite the ambience on movie nights.

Save AU$180

Save AU$150

One of the best-looking hybrid smart watches on the market, blending analog and digital design layouts, the Scanwatch 2 is probably your best bet if you want a classic design and some of the health tracking features of a typical smart watch. In our Withings ScanWatch 2 review, we found that the companion app was quite easy to use and we liked the inclusion of a skin temperature tracker, though we would have liked some more smart features and the small digital display won't be for everyone.

Save AU$38.63

It was announced only in October, so it's nice to see a little discount on what we said is "a formidable Android smartwatch for the great outdoors" in our Ticwatch Atlas review. With up to 90 hours of battery life (up to 45 days in low-power mode), it promises to be just as tough and rugged as the most gruelling trail you can hike.

Taking top spot in both our best vacuum cleaner list and our best cordless stick vacuums guide, this lightweight vacuum is fantastic value at 40% off. It may not have the powerful suction of the latest Dyson or Samsung, but it has more than enough to do a very good job even on carpets. Its bin canister is small, but it auto-empties into a 2L box (no replaceable bags needed), so you can carry on cleaning. It also detects room edges to increase suction – it's a really good vacuum.

Save AU$303

This was a massive 46% discount on the Dyson Cyclone V10 in October but it's currently only 28% off. Despite its age, it's still quite a competent cleaner, but we would recommend you wait a little till Amazon's official sale begins. It offers fade-free power for up to 60 minutes, and this model comes with just the one cleaner head – the Digital Motorbar – and two extra attachments. It's already going cheap, but there's no guarantees the price will drop further when it's officially Black Friday.

Save AU$650

If you live in a large home, having a high-capacity dust canister on your cordless vacuum cleaner is handy. And with a 39% discount on Amazon, Dyson's Gen5outsize is fantastic value.

You even get a bigger battery that promises up to 140 minutes of fade-free power. However, that bigger battery and larger fixtures makes this a heavy machine, so it might be unwieldy for some users.

Save AU$300

Apple has no longer sells the M3 MacBook Pro, and instead is taking orders for the new M4 model. This means the older M3 models are seeing a discount, such as this deal that takes 12% off the still fantastic M3 Max powered machine. Amazon lists the old RRP, so erroneously suggests a 22% discount.
