Black Friday vs Prime Big Deal Days: Should I Wait?

Since this October Prime Day sale is just a few weeks away from Black Friday deals starting in Australia, I’m sure many of you are wondering if it’s worth shopping this sale. Well, it really depends on you as the shopper, but if you can wait, it’s very likely that you’ll see better prices across the board when the November sales start.

There are already record prices on a few tech products on Amazon, but given that this sale is something of a teaser, you might just see better discounts next month. However – and this is a big caveat – this is not a guarantee. Amazon might just match this month’s prices; after all, it’s the retailer who decides.

That said, almost every retailer in Australia will be competing for your attention during Black Friday, so you can shop around and compare store to store to see if anyone will beat the prices (or at least match the prices). If you have expensive items on your wish list, I recommend waiting until November. If you spot a specific item you need right now and the price fits your budget, then go ahead and shop Amazon’s October Prime Day sale – it’s always worth looking into. But hurry, the sales end tonight!

The coffee machine that everyone buys

I’m not a coffee drinker, so I’m usually pretty intimidated by machines that have more than one button. If I have to think about my coffee… yeah, someone else can make it for me.

And while I know that Breville makes some of the best coffee machines in the business, I have it on good authority that this Philips bean-to-cup espresso machine is a good machine. It was recently sent to a colleague of mine to test and first impressions are good. Additionally, we tested the Philips LatteGo 5500 series and liked what we got.

The 4400 series can prepare 12 coffee drinks and uses an intelligent milk froth system. There was an extra AU$150 coupon saving that made it the #12 bestseller in Amazon’s Kitchen & Dining category, so that’s really saying something here. This extra discount is no longer available, but a 43% discount is still pretty good, I think.

The best discounts on power banks

Power banks always turn out to be the best sellers on Amazon during any major sale and we’ve seen the same trend again this year.

Interestingly, popular brands like Belkin and Anker don’t necessarily offer the best options. I didn’t know this until a colleague started testing several external batteries from different brands, large and small.

He’s put together a handy guide to the best power banks in Australia and the good news is that many of them are currently discounted on Amazon.

To make things even easier, I’ve included the best power bank deals below.

An affordable phone with a premium experience

This mid-range phone found its place in our buying guide to the best cheap phones almost as soon as one of my colleagues was able to test it and, even at the full price, we would not hesitate to recommend it. In fact, it continues a tradition, as its predecessor was also in the same list, so you know Motorola is doing well with you.

With one of the brightest displays in this price range and featuring a decent camera system, the Edge 60 Fusion also benefits from an improved Moto AI experience that helps simplify everyday tasks via voice commands.

A bigger battery, fast charging, and improved durability went a long way toward giving it 4 stars in our Motorola Edge 60 Fusion review.

All this for less than AU$500 is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a new handset that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

This robot vacuum cleaner is a bestseller

I was preparing to tell you all about the incredible Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni, but it turns out buyers are taking advantage of the savings on another Deebot instead.

The Ecovacs Deebot T30S Pro has dropped to its lowest price yet – a 65% reduction bringing it down to just AU$699 – and, according to Amazon, it’s a bestseller. I’m not surprised at this price. It’s an all-in-one, it will vacuum, mop, clean itself and dry the mop pads, although it’s not a flagship model.

And while we haven’t tested this specific model here at TechRadar, we have reviews of the Deebot T30S Combo and the Deebot T30 Omni, both of which did well in their respective tests (in fact, I tested the latter myself). So I’m sure the T30S Pro will perform just as well.

Additionally, Amazon claims to have sold over a thousand units in the past month and 130 users have left overwhelmingly positive reviews.

I also want to direct you to the aforementioned X8 Pro Omni because I’ve tested this premium robovac and LOVE IT! My only complaint is its price, but the current 20% discount takes care of that. Honestly, it balances features, performance, and price very well when discounted, although I’d be hesitant to recommend it at full price.
