I've been an Afterpay Day deals hunter for the past 3 years – these are the 30+ best deals I've found on day one
I'm back on the hunt for the best bargains in the first Afterpay Day of 2025
The first of two Afterpay Day sales in Australia has arrived! Kicking off today, March 20 and running through until 11.59pm on Sunday, March 23, Afterpay Day (it should really be called Afterpay Days) is an excellent opportunity to score some bargains from the country's biggest retailers.
Of course, you're not left wanting when it comes to discounts and savings this week, as the Amazon Big Smile Sale has been running since Monday, March 17 and it too finishes up on Sunday, March 23. Put simply, you're practically guaranteed to find someone you've been pining for for less this week.
As with all other major sales in Australia, my Techradar comrades and I will be keeping this page updated with the best deals as soon as they drop. Some retailers jumped the gun early and began offering deals since earlier in the week and which are included below, but because we're focusing solely on the official dates, our live coverage begins today. Happy shopping!

Televisions
Save AU$1,679
Our current favourite TV for most people has plummeted in price following the release of its successor, but the C4 is still such a good TV that it's well worth picking up if your budget can't stretch to the C5. Excellent colours and contrast and a great option for gamers, it's practically perfect.

Save AU$1,045
We have seen a bigger discount on this Samsung screen before, but this is still a great price worth shouting about. We didn't get to review this screen last year, but we considered the S90C predecessor to be the best screen overall in 2023, and we have no doubt the S90D will only continue the winning formula.
Other sizes:
Save AU$796
This Samsung soundbar gives you 9.1.4 surround sound thanks to its dedicated rear speakers and, in true Samsung soundbar fashion, it sounds excellent and does a great job of delivering crystal clear dialogue.
Save AU$909
Samsung's Q990D is currently the best Dolby Atmos soundbar you can buy if you ask us. It expands upon the Q930D above by adding an extra couple of channels to create an even more immersive soundfield. It also offers 4K 120Hz passthrough, which will please people with several external devices. Make sure to enter the code APDAY75 at checkout to get the deal price listed here.
Phones and wearables
Save AU$350
Samsung's latest flagship smartphone is an absolute powerhouse. You get a truly gorgeous display, blazingly fast speeds and first class cameras. AI, of course, makes an appearance and who could forget the S Pen that makes the phone an absolute joy to use.
You can also grab the 256GB version for AU$1,797.
Save AU$193.11
It has now been replaced by the A56, but the Samsung A55 is still a tremendous smartphone that provides a UI that's a joy to use, AI smarts, great build quality and decent cameras. We already thought it was good value at its original price, so this discount makes it an easy recommendation.
Save AU$90
If you're looking to upgrade on a budget without jumping to an Android phone, the iPhone 13 is still a recommendable handset. If you're currently using an iPhone 11 or older, the improvement will be obvious – and you'll be happy with the 13 for at least a few years.
If your budget can stretch a little further, the iPhone 14 is just AU$947, but we'd recommend paying the extra cash required for the AU$997 iPhone 16e.
Save AU$818
While it's not the newest or best Pixel phone any longer, this is a former flagship device – and one of the best phones on the market – that's now priced very affordably. If you've been waiting to upgrade, or considering one of the best cheap phones, this deal is for you.
Save AU$52
We haven't reviewed this model, but we were thoroughly impressed by the G84, and this newer model has even better customer ratings. Offering solid camera performance and long-lasting battery with a premium-sized 6.7-inch display, there's perhaps no better phone at this price range.
Save AU$224.01
Consistently one of the best cheap phones on the market, the Google Pixel 8a continues to offer impressive value at a now reduced price. We awarded it four stars in our Google Pixel 8a review, docking points for its performance compared to the Pro model above, and a less-than ideal battery life. It's a great buy for most users, but it's worth noting the Google Pixel 9a was just announced.
PC and peripherals
Save AU$1,100
This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the HP Victus 16, but AU$2,399 isn't too bad. For a bigger screen laptop with RTX 4070 GPU and 32GB RAM, you can conquer all quests with this HP, no matter whether you game or not.
Save AU$1,440
This is a monster saving on what is a remarkably powerful laptop. It boasts an enviable specs list, including a 14.5-inch, 2560 x 1600, 90Hz, touchscreen display and a Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU. It also has a facial recognition webcam, a big 73Wh battery and 140W USB-C charging.
Save AU$1,404.93
Currently 50% off RPP using code HP711, the HP Envy x360 16 is a powerful 2-in-1 laptop with a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 touch display, making it a great option for both work and entertainment. An Intel Core Ultra 7 processor provides plenty of power, married to 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. The 360-degree hinge allows for flexible use in laptop or tablet mode, plus it has 5MP camera for facial recognition and video calls.
Headphones and speakers
Save AU$160.95
Bringing the CX Plus earbuds drop to just AU$99, this is one of our favourite Afterpay Day deals. Just a touch more than than their lowest price ever, these buds serve up a balanced sound with plenty of customisation – making them a fantastic upgrade for any music lover.
Save AU$179.95
Beating their Click Frenzy and Black Friday prices, we had to call out these excellent Sennheiser true wireless earbuds. The ANC onboard is excellent, there's heaps of customisation available in the app and they sound fantastic.
Also available from Amazon for the same price.
Save AU$96.95
Employing impressive noise cancellation, a super-comfortable and secure fit, solid battery life and a feature-packed app, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are nothing short of exemplary. Since this is an Amazon deal, it's not technically part of Afterpay Day, but it's the best price we can find, so we had to include it.
If you want to spend over AU$200 on other Bose items at the same time, then buy from Bose itself, and make sure to generate your own unique Bose coupon code first to save 10% and bring the price down to AU$179.99.
Save AU$151
Despite being a few years old now, we still rate the Sony XM4s as being one of the best pairs of noise cancelling headphones. They're comfortable, sound fantastic and they do a great job of blocking out the world around you.
Save AU$230
Admittedly expensive when they first launched, this AU$200 saving on Sonos' first pair of headphones makes them easier to recommend. They sound good and their ANC is effective, but they really come alive when watching movies in Dolby Atmos. Plus, if you have a Sonos soundbar, you can send the audio to the Ace for private viewing. Be sure to use code AFTERPAY2025 to get the deal price here.
Save AU$43
They're no stranger to discounts and we're not going to pretend this is the best price we've ever seen, but a saving on the AirPods Pro 2 should never be ignored. Great sound, seamless connectivity and excellent ANC are all part of the package.
Save AU$51.95
A superb price here on the JBL Flip 6, one of the best Bluetooth speakers. It serves up everything you could need from a portable speaker, namely a fun, engaging sound, up to 12 hours of battery life and the ability to daisy chain with up to 100 other Flip 6 speakers!
Save AU$100
We haven’t reviewed this Bluetooth speaker, but it’s a seriously interesting proposition. As we said when it was first announced, it has the potential to offer something even the Apple HomePod 2 can’t, Spatial Audio support, thanks to a ‘sky driver’. There’s LDAC support for hi-res audio from Android devices and we also think it’s a bit of a looker, appearing far more premium than its price tag would suggest thanks to a metal grille covering the front. The deal price here is for the green model only, but blue or black can be picked up with a AU$40 saving.
Appliances
Save AU$364
Despite not officially taking part in Afterpay Day, Amazon has delivered a sensational saving on the iconic KitchenAid stand mixer. It's a fantastic addition to any kitchen thanks to its range of attachments that go beyond baking. Available in Almond Cream, Empire Red and Matte Black under the same listing.
Save AU$330
We think this is the best Nespresso machine money can buy, thanks to its use of the Vertuo range of coffee capsules and its integrated milk frother with froth and heat settings. It's also not bad looking if you ask us. Make sure to enter code AFTERPAY2025 at the checkout to get the deal price here.
Save AU$110.99
Amazon has the lowest price we can find on this rather genius Ninja air fryer. You get a generous 9.5L of total cooking space, but in a machine that takes up less counter space thanks to the baskets being stacked on top of each other. As you might expect, you can air fry, roast and bake, to name a few cooking functions.
Save AU$430
Discounted to AU$699 already, when you use the code AFTERPAY2025 you'll save an extra AU$30, making this competent Dyson vacuum a bit of a bargain.
Save AU$234.99
While we haven't reviewed this Shark stick vac ourselves, we still deem it to be the best budget stick vacuum you can get, based on a large number of positive customer reviews. You get powerful suction and LED lights on the roller head to show up more dust, and it's now had a huge 53% slashed from its price.
Cameras
Save AU$90.84
Yes, this is still realistically a lot for an instant camera, but the Instax Wide Evo is a sensational, practical shooter. It uses the wider photo paper so your images are instantly larger and it doubles up as a printer for your smartphone snaps. Think of it like that and you're getting two products in one!
Save AU$700.98
This is one of Canon's faster cameras and with plenty of AF tracking modes and it's an absolute beast! This is the best price we can currently find, which nabs you a 24.2MP full-frame sensor that's capable of handling 4K/60p video as well as up to 40fps continuous shooting speeds. There's also AI-assisted autofocus for better precision.
Personal care
Save AU$50.99
It's definitely one of the more simple electric toothbrushes with just one daily cleaning mode, but this Oral-B cleaner can still remove far more plaque than an ordinary toothbrush thanks to a brush head that rotates and pulsates for a deeper clean.
Save AU$150
Boasting 360° Flex head adaptation for a smooth shave, Braun's Series 7 Wet & Dry Electric Shaver is the perfect beard removal solution for all situations. It's even got autosense technology that reads and adapts to your beard density, giving you a perfect shave every time. And, as the name would suggest, it's 100% waterproof. Now discounted by 42%.
Save AU$150
This Dyson dupe does wonders to help you dry and style your hair. It comes with a number of attachments to create different styles and it easily converts from hair dryer to straightener. We've linked the silver model here, but it's available in black or copper for the same price.
Save AU$250
Slashing 33% off RRP, the Dyson Airstrait can take your hair styling routine to a whole new level. The no-hot-plate hair straightener is also a dryer that can take totally wet hair and dry it to naturally straight in a matter of minutes. With three temperature settings and precise airflow blades, this hair tool is great for those wanting to shorten their drying and styling time. Also included in the box is a non-slip heat-resistant mat, which can be used to place the styler down in between sectioning.
Do note, that this discount is only available in one colourway.
Miscellaneous
Save AU$104.96
Lego's The Mighty Bowser set is a 2807-piece build with a button-activated head, neck movement and a fireball shooter. Standing over 32cm tall, the buildable character model and battle platform are a must-have for any Super Mario Bros fan. We have seen it receiving a 32% discount before, but this 26% saving is still worth checking out.

Mix things up in the kitchen
KitchenAid's stand mixers are as iconic as they are capable. If you have even the slightest inclination of cooking or baking up a storm in the kitchen, the KSM195 stand mixer is the appliance to have.
With this being the KSM195 model, it means you get the a more comprehensive selection of attachments, including a Pastry Beater, Flex Edge Beater, Dough Hook and Wire Whip. You also not only get a 4.7L mixing bowl, but a smaller 2.8L bowl too. A fuller selection of attachments, such as pasta rollers and food grinders can be bought separately.
We've singled out this particular deal at JB Hi-Fi, as it slashes the price of latest colour to be released, 2025's colour of the year, Butter Yellow. JB claims the discount to be AU$202, with the list price being AU$949, however, KitchenAid lists it as AU$1,049, so the saving is actually AU$302. Plus, you can save an extra AU$30 using code AFTERPAY2025.
JB Hi-Fi has knocked the same amount off a wider selection of colours, including our personal favourite, Dried Rose.
You can also find KSM195 stand mixers discounted to AU$749 directly at KitchenAid, just not the Butter Yellow model featured here.

The core essentials of sound
Looking for well-performing speakers and headphones? Forget the big name audio brands and consider Soundcore.We're big fans of the Soundcore brand here at TechRadar, as it regularly marries the perfect combination of performance and price. It's certainly evident in our Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus speaker review, which earned a solid four stars – and the title of the best party speaker!
Soundcore's headphones also perform well, just take a look at our Anker Soundcore Space One Pro review and you'll see that hi-res audio, effective ANC and excellent battery life don't need to cost you the earth.
Right now, that latter statement has never been truer. Soundcore is hosting a sale that runs all the way through until March 23, with up to 50% in savings to be had. We've picked out some highlights below, but be sure to check out the full selection for yourself.
• Soundcore Boom 2 Plus: was AU$359.99 now AU$299.99
• Soundcore Space One Pro: was AU$349.99 now AU$279.99
• Soundcore Motion X600 (Green): was AU$299.99 now AU$199.99

Time to treat yourself to a new TV?
With the imminent launch of LG's 2025 range of TVs in Australia, it's meant the 2024 range – many of which we consider to be among the best TVs – have dropped considerably in price. Sure, the incoming models introduce some upgrades to the overall picture quality, but we can't imagine anyone will be disappointed with the performance of screens like the LG G4, especially at these prices!
I've found the 65-inch version of the stunning LG G4 for just AU$3,670 at Appliance Central, or AU$3,899 from the maker itself. That's a stunning discount of up to AU$1,670 on a screen that will change the way you watch movies and TV shows at home forever.
I have the LG G4 OLED TV at home myself and I find myself glued to it every evening. Colours and contrast are simply glorious and it's capable of going bright by OLED standards, making HDR content pop. And, thanks to all four of its HDMI ports supporting the 2.1 standard, I have no issues connecting external devices such as games consoles.

Sonos headphones sound Ace!
I'm a huge fan of the Sonos Ace headphones, but even I could admit that at AU$699, they were way too expensive when they first launched. So this Afterpay Day deal that sees them drop to AU$499 and then be eligible for an extra AU$30 saving makes them much easier to recommend.
I personally find them to be one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones I've ever worn, thanks in no small part to a hinge mechanism that ensures they conform to all heads. They sound great, too, although they don't quite rival the sonic talents from the likes of Sony or Bose, and they have decent noise cancelling capabilities.
Where they do excel, however, is when watching movies, particularly those in Dolby Atmos. The Sonos Ace can support the format, and they really do sound cinematic when you're watching on your phone. Plus, if you have a Sonos soundbar, you can send the audio from whatever you're watching on TV to the Ace headphones at the touch of a button – handy if you want to watch something at night and not disturb anyone else in the house.
To snap them up for AU$469 during Afterpay Day, make sure to use the code AFTERPAY2025 at checkout.
Sonos Ace: was AU$699 now AU$469 at JB Hi-Fi
We're blown away by this deal!
While we're technically coming out of summer in Australia, you can never predict when the mercury will rise again, and if you don't have A/C at home, or you want to manage your energy bills, a fan is the next best thing to keep you cool.
A real standout fan is Shark's Flexbreeze, now AU$199.99 direct from Shark. This pedestal fan can easily transform into a tabletop mode in seconds, thanks to the press of a button. Plus, it's cordless and rechargeable, lasting up to 24 hours on its lonesome without being plugged in.
Shark Flexbreeze fan: was AU$249.99 now AU$199.99 at Shark
