From TV to vacuum cleaners, Currys has some great deals live right now
While Amazon's second batch of Prime Day deals has already started to break cover, Currys isn't content to watch from the sidelines and has launched its own Epic Deal sales.
• See all Epic Deals at Currys
Given the vast amount of products Currys sells, there's a mass of deals to plumb; some better than others. So, tapping into the collective expertise of TechRadar, I've rounded up a whole suite of deals on products the team and I would recommend you consider at full price, let alone with some generous discounts.
And as someone who's worked on a lot of deals events over the years, and now manages TechRadar's crack Deals team, I'd say I'm well positioned to flag the deals I think are worth your attention.
So below you'll find 18 deals that I'd stand behind, ranging from money off TVs to flagship smartphones with slashed prices, plus a healthy mix of home appliances to make cleaning and cooking less arduous. For example, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for £1,099 at Currys (was £1,249), score a Shark IZ202UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for £199.99 (was £249.99), and grab the Samsung 65-inch S90D OLED TV for £1,799 (was £2,099).
In fact, you can afford to even forget about buying Amazon products from Amazon itself, as there's a super-low price on the Amazon Echo Pop which is now at £19.99 (was £49.99).
As the Prime Big Deal Days event gathers pace, I'd expect Currys to throw up some more compelling deals. But until then, read on for the best Currys deals I'd recommend you take a look at right now.
18 of the best deals in the Currys Epic Deals sale
Echo Pop: was £44.99 now £19.99 at Currys
Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? The latest Currys sale includes the Echo Pop for just £19.99. This is the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now and one that we found was a fun, if somewhat basic, option in our Echo Pop review. For the money, however, you get a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free. Note that this one briefly fell to £17.99 earlier but I'd still say it's a decent buy at £19.99.
Amazon Fire HD 10: was £149 now £79 at Currys
A little bigger in size, the Amazon Fire HD 10 also sports a better screen thanks to its full HD panel. Content looks nicer, plus it has a convenient 5MP front-facing camera for taking calls as you move. It all comes together to provide a slightly faster and more appealing way to use a tablet, while still keeping costs down and providing that all-important Alexa support. This one is at a record-low price for all ahead of Prime Day so it's well worth jumping on.
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen): was £89.99 now £49.99 at Currys
If you're looking for a deal on a smart home display, then the cheapest offer at Currys is the latest generation Echo Show 5 on sale for £49.99. That's a measly £5 more than the record low so still a strong deal for a straightforward smart home display that's packed with features and includes the Amazon Alexa assistant for easy voice controls to get alerts, weather updates, play music, watch videos, and more.
Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was £499 now £349 at Currys
An evergreen deal for big sales events, the entry-level iPad has once again be cut by £150, taking it to an not-unattractive £349. Compared to the previous-generation iPad, it has a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple's powerful A14 Bionic chip for laptop-like speed, upgraded cameras with 4K video, and all-day battery life.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB): was £1,249 now £1,099 at Currys
£150 off it's launch price makes one of the best phones even more attractive. And at just over a grand, you'll get a fantastic do-anything smartphone. The Galaxy S24 Ultra has 6.8-inch OLED display, lightning-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a class-leading suite of cameras.
JVC CF330 43-inch Fire TV: was £229.99 now £189 at Currys
I'll say upfront that you shouldn't expect a cinematic wonderland from an HD TV at this size and price (although it does support HDR, which is nice) – but what I really rate here is that it's just a simple smart TV at a great price. With the Fire TV interface, you get something that's easy to use, intuitive, and supports all the key streaming services. So, if you want a small TV that does the job and has all the smart viewing options you could want to watch your favourite shows and movies - here it is.
LG 55-inch C4 OLED 4K TV: was £1,599 now £1,399 at Currys
The LG C4 OLED is highly rated and ranked well in our best TV guide for its exceptional brightness, colours and contrast, as well as LG's latest Alpha 9 AI chip for improved performance. You can now get the 55-inch version for one of the best prices we've seen all year in the Currys Epic Deals sale. The gaming features are impressive, too, with four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K images at 120Hz, with VRR and ALLM to give you a smooth and responsive experience no matter what you're playing.
Samsung 65-inch S90D OLED TV: was £2,099 now £1,799 at Currys
Samsung's latest 65-inch S90D OLED TV has got another big price cut in the latest Currys sale that drops it to a record-low price. The 2024 OLED display delivers an exceptional picture with deep blacks, bright colours and superior contrast. You also get a smooth gaming experience on current-gen consoles thanks to the high refresh rate, while Dolby Atmos support ensures terrific sound. Overall, it's a stellar top-end TV for everything you throw at it.
Sony 55-inch Bravia 8 OLED 4K Smart TV: was £2,199 now £1,699 at Currys
With £500 shaved off its price, this fantastic Sony TV is now more attractive than ever. It's still not cheap but then again, you'll get a big 55-inch OLED display that serves up brilliant images with deep contrasts, and comes packed with features in a sleek, slim design with a wide viewing angles and cinematic sound from the entire screen.
Shark IZ202UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: was £249.99 now £199.99 at Currys
I've been harping on about the brilliance of my Shark vacuum for over a year now so I'm definitely going to shout out this £50 discount on a capable and affordable model from the manufacturer. The Anti Hair Wrap tech has saved me countless hours unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum, which has been an absolute lifesaver. It's also a good option for reaching under furniture thanks to its Flexology design and it also has impressive suction, as highlighted in our Shark IZ202UK review. Right now, this is a great opportunity to get one of the best cheap vacuums for the lowest price of the year so far.
Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum: was £399.97 now £249.97 at Currys
Designed to be simple to use yet powerful and versatile, the Dyson V8 is well-suited for all homes – even if you have pets shedding hair around your living space. It has two different power modes with fully sealed filtration which traps 99.99% of microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns. A de-tangling motorbar easily removes ground-in dirt too. If this is your first Dyson, you’ll be amazed and alarmed at how much dirt it sucks up. This offer is a good price for one of the manufacturer's more affordable models that also comes with a selection of handy accessories.
De'Longhi Magnifica Evo: was £529.99 now £399 at Currys
Promising simplicity of use, the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo has a straightforward touch control panel that allows you to brew your favourite cup of coffee with the minimum amount of effort. It also has a silent integrated grinder with 13 settings, plus a handy milk frother so it’s a good all-in-one solution for those who love a cup of joe but want to skip all the faff of making the drink. We liked it enough in our De'Longhi Magnifica Evo review in which we awarded it four stars out of five.
Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker: was £249.99 now £199.99 Currys
I'm refusing to acknowledge that the colder weather is coming and highlighting this offer on the Ninja Creami ice cream maker. It was all the rage over the summer months as a quick and convenient way to make all of your favourite frozen treats, milkshakes and sorbets at the touch of a button. This £50 saving at Currys is on the larger version that comes with two tubs and lids so you can make more goodies at once.
Ninja AF100UK Air Fryer: was £149.99 now £99 at Currys
Not the lowest price we've seen this Ninja air fryer drop to but a good deal anyway. That's because for £99 you'll get a compact model that's an excellent and easy-to-use entry-level air fryer for those cooking meals for one or two people in our Ninja Air Fryer AF100UK review.

One of the best cheap laptop deals I've seen available right now is this Acer Chromebook 314 at Currys. It's a basic device but suitable for those who need a portable and inexpensive laptop with reasonable battery life that just needs to handle schoolwork or light use. This is a safe and solid choice at a budget price that boasts an impressive 12-hour battery life, a reasonable 128GB of storage and a decent-sized 14-inch display.

RAM - 8GB

If you like a proper laptop setup, but would also appreciate the flexibility of a tablet, you don't have to choose between the two. Instead, you can pick up this cheap Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 that offers the best of both worlds. It's a relatively basic machine but fine for light use and everyday tasks thanks to a solid amount of RAM and the simplistic ChromeOS. You also get the added versatility to flip the 12-inch display around to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. Storage is good at 128GB and there's also a solid 10-hour battery life – both very good at this price.

Among all of the laptop deals at Currys is this relatively modern and excellent value all-around device from HP. With an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a respectable 512GB SSD, it's a terrific buy if you have a reasonable budget and need a device that will comfortably handle your day-to-day computing jobs and general work. I'd like more RAM to really round it out perfectly, but this still offers solid performance, good multitasking capabilities, speedy load times and up to 9 hours of battery life. All-in-all it's an impressive laptop for the price.
