(Image credit: Future)

It’s been a hectic week of deal hunting on Amazon, but the Big Smile Sale is over and wrapped up on Sunday, March 23 at midnight. While the sale is over, many of the best deals are still going – from headphones and fantastic Bluetooth speakers to chargers, smart home devices and appliances. To help you out, we’ve rounded up 50 of the best remaining deals below, across all our favourite categories.

There's going to be a bit of a wait till the next Amazon sale comes calling – if the online retailer keeps to its usual shopping calendar, that would be the Mid-Year Sale in June that coincides with Australia's EOFY sales. After that, it will be the biggest Amazon sale of the year – Prime Day, that's typically held in July.

Until then, grab one of the deals below before they disappear.

Amazon Echo Pop: was AU$79 now AU$47 at Amazon

Save AU$32

You can even stream some video on it and follow step-by-step recipes.

Headphones & speakers

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 (Silver)
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 (Silver): was AU$299 now AU$150.49 at Amazon

Save AU$148.51

Samsung's newly released premium earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3, aren't the most powerful in-ear headphones that the brand offers (that would be the Buds 3 Pros) but they're still very much worth considering, especially for their strong noise cancellation, long battery life and live translation smarts when paired with a compatible Galaxy phone. Or grab them in white for AU$145.99.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: was AU$289.95 now AU$193 at Amazon

Save AU$96.95

Employing best-in-class noise cancellation, an unbelievably comfortable and secure fit, solid battery life and a feature-packed app, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are nothing short of exemplary. We'd previously directed you to Bose directly to scoop these up, but Amazon has since beaten its price by some margin.

Samsung  Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (white)
Samsung  Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (white): was AU$349 now AU$197.99 at Amazon

Save AU$151.01

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 (down to AU$140), this is still a decent price if you want them now. Or grab them in white for AU$197.99.

JBL  Tour Pro 3 Earbuds (Black)
JBL Tour Pro 3 Earbuds (Black): was AU$399 now AU$279 at Amazon

Save AU$120

This feature-packed pair of earbuds doesn't normally come cheap, so it's good to see 30% shaved off the price.

JBL Xtreme 4
JBL Xtreme 4: was AU$429.95 now AU$319 at Amazon

Save AU$110.95

Offering bold sound that doesn't distort at high volumes, an attractive design and a brilliant 24-hour battery life, the JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker is well worth considering if you've been looking for a powerful music player.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: was AU$449.95 now AU$343 at Amazon

Save AU$106.95

24% off these fantastic buds is definitely a deal worth checking out if you're keen on one of the best true wireless buds. Its ANC performance is par excellence and, being a Bose, it doesn't compromise on sound either. Standout is the feature called Immersive Audio that makes a huge difference if you like your music 'surrounding' you.

Bose Smart Ultra soundbar
Bose Smart Ultra soundbar: was AU$1,499 now AU$1,085 at Amazon

Save AU$414

In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we said this soundbar rivals the Sonos Arc – the best Sonos soundbar on offer. It's now slightly above the lowest we saw during the Big Smile Sale (AU$999), but still has an excellent 28% discount. The Smart Ultra is compact, beautifully built, and offers plenty of control options to go with its wide, detailed sound.

Smartwatches

Garmin Vivoactive 5
Garmin Vivoactive 5: was AU$499 now AU$375 at Amazon

Save AU$124

If you want to move on from your Apple Watch to something that's more fitness oriented, Garmin's Vivoactive 5 is ideal. For your money, you're getting a lovely AMOLED display, up to 11 days of battery life and GPS tracking, along with a heck of a lot of fitness features for the gym goer. It was cheaper on day 1 of the sale, with AU$162 off, but this 25% discount is still worth considering.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra: was AU$1,299 now AU$724 at Amazon

Save AU$575

Powerful, resilient and perfect for intensive workouts, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is designed for fitness lovers who get out and about. Its resistance levels make it perfect for water-based exercises and rain, and its dual-frequency GPS gives it precise location accuracy. It’s rugged out of the box and comes with a gorgeous 44mm display on a 47mm chassis. Though we wrote in our review that its long-lasting battery could indeed be more impressive, we loved it for its toughness, programmable quick button and its huge feature set.

Garmin Epix Pro 2 (Sapphire Edition, 51mm)
Garmin Epix Pro 2 (Sapphire Edition, 51mm): was AU$1,849 now AU$999 at Amazon

Save AU$850

The headline feature here is that AMOLED display – it's absolutely stunning! But it's also the ultimate outdoor watch, with a built-in torch, practically all kinds of activity tracking (including surfing and skiing), and packed full of features with up to 31 days of battery life. It's the ultimate Garmin with the whopper of a price tag, but at 46% off, the 51mm Epix Pro 2 is much more appealing.

Laptops, Monitors and Networking

HP Chromebook 14
HP Chromebook 14 : was AU$579 now AU$309 at Amazon

Save AU$270

We don't get a huge variety of Chromebooks in Australia, but this 14-inch option from HP will get you 64GB of flash storage, 4GB of RAM, a N6000 CPU, a 1920 x 1080 IPS screen and a 11 hour battery life. Which is plenty for basic web browsing and word processing. It was AU$299 during the Boxing Day sales, but this deal is the lowest price we have seen.

Dell 27-inch S2722DC QHD USB-C monitor: was AU$549 now AU$439 at Amazon

Save AU$110

It can easily be connected to your PC or laptop via USB-C, with 65W of power delivery. Thin bezels and a nice stand rounds up its standout features. While it's possible to get this monitor for about AU$399, this is the best price we've seen in 2025 so far.

Asus ZenWiFi XD4S wireless mesh router (2-pack)
Asus ZenWiFi XD4S wireless mesh router (2-pack): was AU$379 now AU$169 at Amazon

Save AU$210

With a huge 55% saving, this Asus mesh Wi-Fi two-pack offers a superbly frugal way to upgrade your home wireless network, and claims to be able to cover up to 300m². This is an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 set, offering AX1800 tech (for combined transfer speeds of up to 1,800Mbps) under the hood, combined with Asus’s supremely feature-packed router OS. Each of the two nodes is quite compact and nondescript in terms of looks, too, so they won’t stand out. We gave the similar Asus ZenWiFi XD4 three-pack a solid 4 out of 5 stars in our review.

Amazon Eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi Router (3-pack)
Amazon Eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi Router (3-pack): was AU$599.99 now AU$449.99 at Amazon

Save AU$150

Looking to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones around your home? A mesh network might be exactly what you need, and products across Amazon's Eero range have some solid discounts. You should read our full review, 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. You can also grab a single node for AU$189.99.

TP-Link Deco BE65 BE11000 WiFi 7 Tri-Band Mesh (3-pack)
TP-Link Deco BE65 BE11000 WiFi 7 Tri-Band Mesh (3-pack): was AU$1,099 now AU$867 at Amazon

Save AU$232

While not the very lowest price we have seen, this is still a decent discount. We suggest you read our TP-Link Deco BE63 review for the full breakdown, but suffice to say it's very fast, and while Wi-Fi 7 isn't widely supported just yet, it gives great future proofing. It's also ideal for gamers, or those with a NAS, as the mesh nodes include a 2.5G network port.

TP-Link Deco BE85 BE22000 22Gbps WiFi 7 Tri-Band Mesh (2-pack)

Cameras

DJI Mini 3 (RC)
DJI Mini 3 (RC): was AU$939 now AU$748 at Amazon

Save AU$191

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 and this bundle comes with the RC remote that has an inbuilt screen.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II (body)
Canon EOS R6 Mark II (body): was AU$3,299 now AU$2,598 at Amazon

Save AU$701 + AU$200 Amazon credit

This is one of Canon's faster cameras and with plenty of AF tracking modes and it's an absolute beast! This price on Amazon is currently the best to be found and, for your money, you're getting a 24.2MP full-frame sensor that's capable of handling 4K/60p video as well as up to 40fps continuous shooting speeds.

Nikon Z6 III (body only): was AU$4,499 now AU$3,251 at Amazon

Save AU$1,248

TechRadar's top camera of 2024 and 2025, the Nikon Z6 III isn't what I would call 'affordable,' but this discount helps balance its price, performance and feature set very well indeed. Featuring a 24.5MP full-frame partially stacked sensor with vastly improved autofocus and 6K video up to 60fps, it also boasts a better and brighter EVF than its predecessor, plus a more versatile rear display. Note that this deal is from a third party seller on Amazon, not direct from Amazon itself.

Gaming

Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset
Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset: was AU$279 now AU$149 at Amazon

Save AU$130

Now at the lowest price we have seen on Amazon, this headset is a bargain.

Now discounted by 47% in Steel Grey and White.

Nintendo Switch OLED
Nintendo Switch OLED: was AU$539.95 now AU$445.99 at Amazon

Save AU$93.96

Sure, 17% off might not seem like a lot, but this is currently the best Nintendo Switch deal going on Amazon. So take advantage of this discount and get gaming on one of the nicest screens on a handheld console.

Alienware AW3225QF 32-inch 4K gaming monitor
Alienware AW3225QF 32-inch 4K gaming monitor: was AU$1,889 now AU$1,511.20 at Amazon

Save AU$377.80

Our friends over at PC Gamer gave this Alienware monitor a glorious 92 / 100 review. The monitor used Samsung's new QD-OLED tech to give a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate (supporting AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync) and a 0.03ms response time. It's going for a terrific price that blows its Black Friday discount out of the water and is just as good as on Boxing Day.

Vacuums

Shark Cordless Vacuum with Self Cleaning Brushroll (IZ102)
Shark Cordless Vacuum with Self Cleaning Brushroll (IZ102): was AU$549 now AU$277 at Amazon

Save AU$272

It's our favourite budget vacuum cleaner, taking up a spot in our best cordless stick vacuum buying guide even though we've not been able to test it ourselves. User reviews are glowing though, and we trust the people who love this machine. For quick and daily vacuuming, this is great and excellent value at nearly half price, although we have seen this as low as AU$232.

Ecovacs Deebot N10
Ecovacs Deebot N10: was AU$799 now AU$379 at Amazon

Save AU$420

This Ecovacs Deboot N10 packs some of the more attractive robovac features into a fairly affordable unit. You get 4,300Pa of suction, which is more than enough for hard floors, but it will struggle on very dirty carpets. But if hard floors is what you have in your home, this will vacuum and mop quite well for a fraction of its RRP.

Dyson V8
Dyson V8: was AU$799 now AU$409.99 at Amazon

Save AU$389.01

For nearly half price, this is arguably one of the cheapest Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners to be had. Sure, it's an older model that will only get you up to 40 minutes of fade-free runtime, but it's an update V8 motor that can clean most small spaces. Alongside the main Digital Motor, you'll also get the Hair Screw Tool and two other common attachments.

Miele Triflex HX2 cordless vacuum
Miele Triflex HX2 cordless vacuum: was AU$799 now AU$559 at Amazon

Save AU$240

Having reviewed both the Miele Triflex HX1 and HX2 Pro, we feel comfortable recommending this stick vacuum at this reduced price, even if it was under AU$500 during Black Friday. Offering versatile cleaning, a large head with solid suction and an excellent 60-minute runtime, there's not much to dislike for a cordless vac at 30% off.

Shark Cordless Detect Pro w/ auto-empty system
Shark Cordless Detect Pro w/ auto-empty system: was AU$999 now AU$646.78 at Amazon

Save AU$352.22

An excellent alternative to a Dyson, the Shark Detect Pro offers powerful suction that makes it great on both hard floors and carpets. It can easily convert into a handheld to tackle upholstery or the car and a built-in auto-empty system ensures you don't breathe in whatever you've vacuumed up too.

Dyson V10 Cyclone
Dyson V10 Cyclone: was AU$1,099 now AU$687 at Amazon

Save AU$412

This was a massive 46% discount on the Dyson Cyclone V10 last year but it's currently only 38% off. Despite its age, it's still quite a competent cleaner, but we would recommend perhaps waiting till Prime Day to see if this offer is bettered on Amazon. If you can't hold off for a new vacuum, for this money, you'll get 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.

Dyson WashG1
Dyson WashG1: was AU$999 now AU$749 at Amazon

Save AU$250

This deal on Dyson's first-ever floor washer is AU$0.99 cheaper than the previous best price we saw during Click Frenzy earlier in the month. Whether you choose to buy it from Amazon or directly from Dyson for AU$779, there's no denying it's good for mopping hard floors. That said, in our Dyson WashG1 review, we found it can have issues if the floor is uneven (like if there is grouting between tiles), but it effectively cleaned up a whole lot of messes.

Dyson Gen5detect Absolute
Dyson Gen5detect Absolute: was AU$1,549 now AU$899 at Amazon

Save AU$650

This is almost the same price we saw during Black Friday, and 42% off Dyson's most powerful cordless vac is a great deal. You also get the Fluffy Optic cleaning head that illuminates invisible dust on hard floors to ensure you can capture every last mote. Prefer to buy direct rather than from Amazon? In comparison, it's currently discounted to AU$977 on Dyson's own online storefront.

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine: was AU$1,549 now AU$1,049 at Amazon

Save AU$500

Soaring onto our best vacuum cleaner and best cordless vacuum lists after its release, the V15s Detect Submarine impresses with its ability to mop and vacuum while staying true to the fantastic and versatile cordless design Dyson has become known for. Offering up to 60 minutes of cleaning time with a replaceable battery pack, and powerful suction up to 240 Air Watts (AW), your carpets will be spotless and your hard floors will be shiny. Its one flaw is that dirty water can splash out when you take the Submarine attachment to a sink to be cleaned out, so be careful.

Kitchen appliances

Philips 3000 Series dual basket air fryer (9L)
Philips 3000 Series dual basket air fryer (9L): was AU$349 now AU$199 at Amazon

Save AU$150

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.

Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90)
Philips 5000 Series Air Fryer XXL (HD9285/90): was AU$449 now AU$248 at Amazon

Save AU$201

Philips is the undisputed king of air fryers and this discount gets you one of its more recent models for 51% off the RRP. The 5000 Series XXL offers a generous 7.2L/1.4kg capacity (enough to feed six people), 16 different cooking functions and even Wi-Fi connectivity and a smartphone app with recipes that can send commands straight to the fryer. The basket is also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer Steam
Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer Steam: was AU$499 now AU$298 at Amazon

Save AU$201

Ever cooked with steam in an air fryer? Now you can with this Philips two-drawer air fryer. In our Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket XXL Air Fryer Steam review, we 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.

Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer
Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer: was AU$479.99 now AU$359 at Amazon

Save AU$120.99

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.

Ninja Slushi
Ninja Slushi: was AU$599.99 now AU$499.99 at Amazon

Save AU$100

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.

While the Amazon RRP is not what we have seen it selling for elsewhere, the current deal price matches what other retailers are offering. And the real win here is availability, as the Slushi has been selling out fast, with shipping delays reported elsewhere. But during Big Smile, Prime Members can enjoy quick delivery, with stock ready to ship as early as next week.

Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine
Nespresso Vertuo Creatista capsule coffee machine: was AU$1,099 now AU$798 at Amazon

Save AU$301

We rate the Vertuo Creatista as the best Nespresso machine out there thanks to its use of the Vertuo pods, which come in a range of cup and mug sizes and an integrated milk frother. It performs exceptionally well, too, and will brew your morning cuppa in no time at all.

Personal care

Dyson Airstrait
Dyson Airstrait: was AU$749 now AU$499 at Amazon

Save AU$250

Promising to take way less time to straighten hair by working just fine in wet hair, the Airstrait is the hair-care tool making headlines. It won't burn wet hair as other straighteners would, leaving you with less hair damage and a quicker styling session in the mornings.

Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer (Ceramic Patina / Topaz)
Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer (Ceramic Patina / Topaz): was AU$749 now AU$499 at Amazon

Save AU$250

We have seen this Dyson hair dryer go quite a bit lower in price, so it may drop again later in the year, but if you're hoping to treat yourself now, this is a good price to pick it up for. Dyson's "most intelligent" hairdryer is designed to dry your hair faster and without the possibility of heat damage thanks to its new Scalp Protect mode.

Philips Series 9000 Prestige wet & dry shaver
Philips Series 9000 Prestige wet & dry shaver: was AU$709 now AU$499 at Amazon

Save AU$210

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 the length of your beard. Speaking of which, it's got 5 length settings to suit different needs and it holds its own while in the shower too.

Shopping tips

1. Become a Prime member

While it might cost you a monthly (or annual) fee to be a Prime member, it's the best way to maximise your savings, particularly if you think you're going to be shopping on the platform regularly. If you're not a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and, if you do so just before a big sale and cancel the subscription before the trial ends, you get the full benefits without having to pay anything extra, albeit for a short period of time.

Benefits include free and fast shipping, exclusive and early access to select deals, plus free subscriptions to some of Amazon's other services like Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming. Find out more about this subscription service in our guide to what is Amazon Prime.

2. Use Amazon coupons

We've got a dedicated page that lists a lot of Amazon coupon codes to help you save on your next shop, but there are always select items on the site that have a little check box that you can tick to bring the price down a little. These coupons can save you anywhere from 5% to 20% off a particular item, and occasionally there's a specific amount of money that gets deducted (e.g. AU$5 off a AU$20 portable power bank), so keep an eye out for them when shopping on Amazon.

Note that when you use these little boxes, the discounted price will only appear when you finally check out – not when the item is sitting in your virtual cart.

3. Track your cart

If you aren't in a hurry to buy something specific, you can always add it to your cart and click "save for later". Amazon has a handy functionality that automatically lets you know if an item in your cart has had a price change.

4. Set up alerts

If you don't want to keep logging into Amazon to check your cart, you can use a site called camelcamelcamel.com to see an item's price history. You just have to copy and paste the URL of the Amazon item you're interested in into Camelcamelcamel's search bar and voila, you get the price history represented by an easy-to-understand graph.

Monitoring this manually, though, can be annoying, so the folks behind this tracking site have created a handy browser plug-in that you can install to receive email alerts when a specific item gets a discount. This is particularly useful during Amazon's big sales if you know what you're after.

5. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program

If there are certain products you know you will buy regularly, particular pantry staples and toiletries, you can use the Subscribe & Save feature on Amazon. This option shows up as the default offer when click on items like laundry detergents, coffee pods, nail colour, baby-care items and more, and it's possible to save as much as 15%, with free shipping already available for Prime members.

6. Check Amazon's daily deals

Amazon has a dedicated hub that lists hundreds of offers, called Today's Deal. It sits right on top of the page and, while it looks a little daunting to browse, there are filters you can use to narrow down your search if you know what you're after.

If you happen to use an Echo smart device, you can also use a simple voice command to find out what the day's offers are by saying, "Alexa, what are my deals?"

7. Browse overstocked items in the Amazon Outlet store

Amazon also has a dedicated section called the Outlet Store that stocks clearance items going cheap. It also houses overstocked new items too, and these usually have some significant discounts. From electronics to homewares, the Outlet Store can save you a pretty penny, but note that some items may come in a damaged box. If so, there will be a note on the product listing page about its condition.

8. Shop during the big sales

If you're not in a rush to buy something, particularly an expensive item, consider waiting till a big sale comes knocking. By 'big', we mean Prime Day and Black Friday as these two sales are when we see the biggest discounts.

That said, there are usually a lot of good deals during Big Smile Sale and the Mid-Year Sale, so don't ignore those if you're keen on shopping through the year.

Amazon Big Smile Sale: FAQs

What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?

While it's not as big as Amazon Prime Day or Amazon's offering during Black Friday, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is one of Amazon's major sales of the year. You can expect a massive range of discounts across the best headphones, stick vacuums, earbuds, cheap phones and more, but the main discounts will likely focus on Amazon-owned products like Kindle, Ring and Echo.

What days are the big Amazon sales?

Amazon has four exclusive sales throughout the year, while also taking part in the big general sales alongside Australia’s major retailers. These sales start in March (or early April) with the Big Smile Sale, while the Mid-Year sale is Amazon's alternative to Australian EOFY sales in June. Then there's Amazon Prime Day in July, which now occurs twice each year with Prime Day 2 – or Big Deal Days – landing in October.

Amazon is also one of the most significant retailers to shop with during the two biggest sales of the year – Black Friday and Boxing Day.

Does Amazon have an EOFY sale?

While Amazon doesn't take part in EOFY sales per se, the Amazon Mid-Year Sale lines up with the Australian End of Financial season.

What is Amazon's biggest sale?

While it's not an Amazon-exclusive sale, there's little doubt that Amazon's deal offerings during Black Friday are usually the best we see during the year. That being said, Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Big Deal Days are both worthy of circling on your calendar, although they’re usually reserved solely for Amazon Prime members.

What is the biggest sale in the world?

Between Boxing Day and Black Friday, it's hard to say which is the bigger global shopping event. While Boxing Day is an event for countries within the Commonwealth, and Boxing Day has an American origin, both are great times to pick up basically anything from any retailer across the globe.

However, it's possible neither Boxing Day nor Black Friday sales hold the crown of the world's biggest sale. That title might belong to Singles Day, held on November 11. A massive event in China, it has recently gained traction globally – and may increase in popularity in 2025.
