Refresh
It might be the last week of the EOFY sales in Australia but there are still plenty of hidden gems to be found.
For example, it’s easy for us to overlook the Fitbit Charge 6, but for an affordable fitness tracker, it’s a fantastic wearable and a bargain too. We added that to our list of deals today, along with a couple of more Canon cameras and some affordable smart home devices.
I’m sure there are many more such EOFY deals that are still waiting to be found – my team and I will keep looking so you don’t miss out. We’ll be back bright and early tomorrow to begin our hunt for anything we might have missed previously. We’ll also make sure we check all the existing deals – prices and stock – so you have the latest information as the EOFY sales enter their home stretch.
Fizz it up in style
While SodaStream might be the most popular sparkling water maker brand on the market, kudos has to be given to Breville for making what is arguably one of the most better-looking soda makers.
I have this machine at home and it fits right into my home bar, helping me making cocktails or even just re-fizz some flattened cola. Yes, the Breville InFizz Fusion can carbonate any drinkable liquid as long as it’s not a hot beverage! I’ve fizzed up wine and orange juice too, even coconut water and I absolutely wouldn’t recommed you try those last two – not good at all!
It uses the same CO2 canisters from SodaStream, so it’s easy to replace and it’s available in three colours, although one of them is just a few dollars more than the other two via the same listing on Amazon. At AU$196, it’s the lowest price yet on my favourite sparking beverage maker.

Exceptional espresso every time
If you love coffee as much as I do, then you’ll know how important it can be to have a top-performing espresso machine at home. Not only is having one plonked on your kitchen counter a convenient solution to a 6am brew and saving you a trip to your local cafe, but it also cuts down on your usage of takeaway cups, and it can save you money in the long run.
But which coffee machine should you choose? Well, based on our KitchenAid KF6 review, it’s one that’s seriously worthy your consideration. To be honest, I wish I had the pleasure of reviewing this one myself, as my colleague Cat gave it a glowing five-star score, with the only faults being real trivial ones.
Not only does the machine look fantastic in my opinion, but it can brew “exceptional espresso” with a delicious, thick crema. There are plenty of customisable drink presets to choose from, and perhaps best of all, it’s easy to use.
It could conceivably have been deemed affordable at its original price considering what it can do, but you can now grab it from Amazon as part of a bundle that also gets you the milk container. This will require a little extra space on your countertop, but it connects to the main. machine via a small hose. So no matter the kind of coffee you like, you can get this bundle for AU$100 less than the discounted price on KitchenAid itself.
KitchenAid KF6 with milk container: AU$1,799 AU$1,399 on Amazon
NBN for less – EOFY broadband discounts
My colleagues and I know a thing or two about finding the best NBN plans and best internet deals, which is why we know that now would be a great time to swap providers for a fantastic deal.
If it’s super-fast speeds that you’re after, your best option might well be Superloop. My colleague thinks the current NBN 1000 plan from Superloop for just AU$85 p/m is currently be the best NBN EOFY deal available.
But Aussie Broadband has also gotten into the act. Known for keeping its speed promises and its excellent customer service, there’s up to AU$120 off for the first six months on different plans.
It definitely pays to shop around now; there are offers from several other providers too and you can see all the top offers in our dedicated coverage of the best NBN plans.
Stand up for this deal – quality standing desk for less
EOFY is a great time to invest in office furniture – whether that’s for the workplace or the home office. Either way, this one is definitely tax deductible.
A standing desk doesn’t come cheap, at least not a quality one. I have one of these at home myself and have been using it for nearly a year now. So far, I’ve had no complaints at all. In fact, Aussie company Desky has made one heck of a standing desk.
It’s standout feature is the under-desk cable management system. While this is an additional purchase for AU$49, it’s absolutely worth it. Your power board can sit within or, if you’re willing to spend a little more money, you can get clip-in boards from the company itself and that makes things look even neater. All your cables will be hidden away and, best part, you can even fit the tray on after you’ve assembled the desk. It’s really easy to do so.
The hardwood options, while expensive, are excellent. The dual motors I have on my desk are quiet and, interestingly, if the companion app on my iPhone is connected to the desk, I can just ask Siri to raise or lower the Desky for me. The caveat here is that the app needs to stay connected which, sadly, doesn’t happen if you have exited it or have not used it in a while. That said, the controller is easy to use and set up, plus its RGB colour lighting is a nice touch. All in all, a fantastic investment for a workspace, whether at home or in the office.

This Bose is boss at a record-low price
This offer has been around all month, but it’s so good that we can’t help but remind you that you shouldn’t miss out if you’re after a pair of quality noise-cancelling cans.
The QC Ultra Headphones were AU$399 earlier in June (we wrote about that on June 2), then they dropped to AU$398 in during Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale, and finally got a AU$5.01 coupon tacked on to the listing that dropped the price further.
But wait, hold your horses! You can get it for even cheaper! Just head to our dedicated Bose coupon code page, click on the very first ‘Get Unique Code’ button, you’ll be able to grab the QC Ultras for just AU$360 directly from Bose!
Yes, you read that right – it’s just AU$360 with our unique code when you purchase anything from Bose that costs over AU$200. Now, that’s a bargain!
Why the Bose QC Ultra Headphones? Firstly, they’re flagship Bose cans, so you’re getting world-class performance and comfort here. Secondly, they’ve been our pick of the best noise-cancelling headphones since they launched in 2023, only recently being challenged by the brand-new Sony WH-1000XM6 (which we doubt will see a discount any time soon).
That’s got to say something. If you have the spare cash, these premium headphones are absolutely worth it for a very generous discount.

Keep your l’il ‘uns safe with Spacetalk
Sending your little one off to school can be a scary prospect – they’ll be out of sight for hours and it’s only natural that you’ll worry. One way to alleviate some of that worry is to make sure you can stay in touch with them if necessary, and also keep tabs on them when they’re outdoors.
Enter Spacetalk. This Aussie company has been making kids smartwatches for a while now and is arguably the best way to stay connected with your child. The watches have no social media apps, or any other distractions for that matter, but provide an easy way for a li’l ‘un to call the ‘rents, grandparents or any other guardian you wish them to stay in touch with.
You will need a 4G plan to stay connected, and you can follow your child via the built-in GPS tracker in the watches. The companion app gives you full control, allowing you to set up the contacts for your child. There is a dedicated SOS button in case of emergency, plus there’s Bluetooth connectivity alongside 4G.
You can choose between the Spacetalk Loop and the Spacetalk Adventurer 2, with AU$70 off both models. The difference between them is that the latter has a 5MP camera for video calls.
• Spacetalk Loop: was AU$249 now AU$149
• Spacetalk Adventurer: was AU$349 now AU$249
Start your photography journey with Canon
With the EOS R8 and EOS R7, Canon proved that you can get fantastic mirrorless cameras for not a lot of money. Even at full price, both these cameras represent great value, but when they’re discounted, you really shouldn’t ignore them if you’ve been keen on a new camera.
The Canon EOS R7, in particular, is a good choice right now because you can get a single-lens kit for a less than the RRP of the body alone. Currently discounted at quite a few camera retailers, the EOS R7 bundled with the RF-S 18-150mm kit lens is cheapest on Amazon at AU$2,124 – beating the discounted price over at Camera House (AU$2,129) by just AU$5.
The R7 is an APS-C format camera, meaning the sensor is smaller, but that shouldn’t put you off – sensor size really doesn’t matter all that much. You get Canon’s trusty Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology to aid in autofocus, which has been spot on since its first-gen AF tech came into being years ago, and there’s a very generous 32.5MP resolution.
For your money, you’re also getting 651 autofocus points, up to 30fps continuous shooting and 4K/60p video. There’s even 5-axis image stabilisation on board. The spec list for this camera is truly impressive for the price point and it performs remarkably well in the real world too.
If you’re a budding photographer, this is a camera to focus on (apologies for the pun).

Laptops for less
One of the most popular items to buy during EOFY is a laptop. Whether you want one for work or play, June is a good time to pick up one and, if the main purpose is the former (and if the latter is your work), the device becomes tax deductible. That means you could pocket a little extra savings in the form of the returns.
We’re keeping an eye on all the top EOFY laptop deals, handled by my colleague who is an expert in all things computing. He’s following sales on the Lenovo and HP websites, plus checking retailers for other brands too: Dell, Apple and more.
You can find all of his picks in our dedicated EOFY laptops deals page.
Listen up, bargain hunters! It’s the last week of June, so you have just this one week left to find those all-important tech deals before Aussie retailers call it a night on their respective EOFY sales.
There have already been some fantastic discounts, but many items have reverted back to their original list prices, so don’t dally any longer. If you’re keen on a good discount, follow along with us as we find the last of the good EOFY deals from the most trusted Australian retailers.
My team and I have years of experience between us in shopping these sales, so we know what make a good deal. So put your faith in us – we’ll handpick only the best of what’s still available and list them all above. If you spot an item you’ve had your eye on for a while and the price looks good to you, my recommendation would be to make the purchase immediately as EOFY deals may not last all week – some products will either go out of stock or the prices will revert.
