BEST OF DEALS OF THE WEEK
APPLE
Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) with Charging Case, Amazon Australia
- Sale price: $184
- RRP $219
- 16% off
Apple AirPods are on plenty of wishlists when it comes to buying a new pair of earphones or ear buds. These ones offer seamless setup with iPhones and compatible Apple devices and the in-ears have a comfortable and secure fit that will suit just about anyone.
At the RRP of $219 they aren’t cheap so it’s worth knowing when they go on sale.
While Apple rarely offer discounts on its products, retailers like Amazon do and they are currently selling the Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) with Charging Case for $184 and there is also free delivery.
Is it a good deal? We did some price checking on major Australian retail sites and their price is still $219 so it could be a good opportunity to pick up the highly-rated product at 16 per cent off.
Apple AirPods Max, Amazon Australia
- Sale price: $698
- RRP: $899
- 22% off
This is one of the biggest discounts we found this week – $200 off these AirPods Max at Amazon (the pink set are slightly cheaper again at $689 or 23 per cent off) and there is free shipping.
BOSE
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, Amazon Australia
- Sale price: $407
- RRP: $599
- 32% off
According to our Technology Writer Lauren Chaplin, the Headphones 700 are a big step up from Bose’s previous top performer, the QC35 II model.
“The Headphones 700 offer the ability to change the level of noise cancellation from full transparency to full isolation. Even on their lowest setting, noise cancellation isn’t turned off entirely, but rather thinly veils surrounding noise. On their highest setting, the pair offers an isolation effect that’s one of the best we’ve encountered.”
If you are doing price comparisons remember to check shopping costs. These have free shipping. We did find a cheaper price on one site but once shipping was added in, it added up to a higher price.
DYSON
Dyson V7 Cord Free Vacuum, Dyson
- Sale price: $449
- RRP: $599
- 16% off
The Dyson V7 cord-free vacuum is now one of the brand’s older models (the latest model is the V15 which comes complete with a laser beam) and that means you can pick it up on sale for a third of the price of the new V15 Detect Total Clean at RRP $1499.
While newer models may have more features and longer run times, the V7 is now the most affordable Dyson model and has a 30 minute cleaning time, works on all floor surfaces and has the no-touch bin emptying system.
You can buy it on sale from the official Dyson site, but we’ve also found this price at Bing Lee and The Good Guys.
iRobot Roomba e5 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Amazon Australia
- Sale: $494
- RRP: $999
- 51% off
If you’d prefer not to have to do the vacuuming at all, it might be time to think about a robot vacuum cleaner. We first spotted this deal on the iRobot Roomba last week but the discount is still available and there is free delivery. If you want to see more robot vacuum options here is our roundup of top-rated models.
There is plenty to choose from in this sale of both men’s and women’s runners and casual shoes so this is one for you to browse. We won’t hold you up.
The Cooks Collective ONE 6-piece cookset, Myer
- Sale price: $199
- RRP: $749.95
- 73% off
The Cooks Collective is a brand exclusively available at Myer and while the retailer is known for often having great deals on cookware this one really stands out to us.
The six-piece set includes pretty much everything you need in the kitchen, including two frying pans of different sizes, two saucepans with lids of different sizes and a large casserole pot.
It’s dishwasher safe and can also go in the oven.
The thing that really stands out for us about this deal is the 16cm saucepan with lid included in this set sells for $109.95 on its own so buying in the set seems like a good deal.
- Sale price: $99.99-$139.95
- RRP: $199.99-$279.99
- 50% off
It’s always worth checking out Canningvale if you are in the market for new sheets, towels, pillows or other home items because the Australian brand often has really good sales on quality household essentials.

- Sale price: $299
- RRP: 329.95
- 9% off
This is not the biggest saving on the list this week but any discount on this in-demand tech item is worth knowing about right now.
We found this yellow model reduced to just under $300 on Amazon while Catch has the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Console (Neon) for $419 down from $447.
