Everything we track

Consumer tech and the home appliances that sit next to it. We do not cover groceries or fashion — the big comparison sites do that better than we could.

Computing 126 products

Laptops 18 products MacBooks, ultrabooks, gaming laptops and budget workhorses compared across NZ retailers. Phones 50 products Outright handset prices from Apple, Samsung, Google, OPPO and Motorola — the number that matters before a carrier wraps it in a 36-month plan. Tablets & E-readers 8 products iPads, Galaxy Tabs, budget Android slates and Kindles, with the storage tier spelled out so you are comparing like for like. Monitors 12 products 4K, ultrawide and high-refresh gaming panels. PC Components 8 products Graphics cards, CPUs, memory and motherboards at NZ retail — the category where local pricing drifts furthest from overseas. Storage & NAS 6 products Internal SSDs, portable drives and network storage, compared on dollars per terabyte rather than headline price. Wi-Fi & Networking 6 products Wi-Fi 6 and 7 routers, mesh systems and switches. Printers 5 products Inkjets, lasers and ink-tank printers — with running cost per page noted, because the cheap printer is rarely the cheap printer. Chargers & Hubs 13 products GaN wall chargers, USB-C docks and power banks from UGREEN, Anker, Belkin and Cygnett.

Smart Home 28 products

Security Cameras 11 products Wire-free, PoE and doorbell cameras compared across NZ stores.

Smart Home & Lighting 11 products Smart bulbs, plugs, speakers and hubs.

Audio & Video 67 products

Headphones & Speakers 18 products Earbuds, over-ears and party speakers from Soundcore, JBL, Sony and Bose — real NZ street prices, not RRPs.

Cameras 11 products Mirrorless bodies, lenses and action cameras. Gaming 11 products Consoles, handhelds and controllers at NZ retail, including which bundles are genuinely cheaper than buying the parts separately.

Health & Home 73 products

Smartwatches & Wearables 14 products Amazfit, Garmin, Fitbit, Apple and Samsung, priced across NZ stores — including battery life per dollar, the spec that quietly matters most. Vacuums & Floorcare 13 products Cordless sticks, robot vacuums and wet-dry cleaners from Dyson, Roborock, eufy, Shark and Ecovacs — compared on suction and run time, not marketing numbers. Kitchen Appliances 15 products Air fryers, coffee machines, blenders and multicookers. Fridges & Freezers 11 products Bar fridges, chest and upright freezers, top- and bottom-mount fridge freezers and wine coolers — the second-fridge and garage-freezer end of the market where price gaps are widest. Heating, Cooling & Air 7 products Dehumidifiers, air purifiers, heaters and portable air conditioners — the appliances a damp New Zealand winter makes non-optional. Personal Care 6 products Hair styling tools, shavers and electric toothbrushes from Dyson, TYMO, Philips and Oral-B at their real NZ prices. Outdoor & Power Tools 7 products Mowers, blowers, trimmers and water blasters — with the battery platform noted, because that is the decision you are really locking in.
