  "account": "After years of covering Amazon AU sales, we've compiled a list of the 12 brands and products that we refuse to pay full price for. Despite running its own deals, Amazon often has the best prices on Ninja air fryers, coffee machines, and other appliances, particularly during major sale events. Ninja Luxe Café Premier is currently AU$577.89 instead of AU$799.99, while the Ninja DoubleStack XXXL air fryer is discounted to AU$170.05 from AU$599.99. Shark vacuums, hair stylers, and air purifiers are also frequently discounted on Amazon, with the PowerDetect Clean & Empty model reduced to AU$462.10 from AU$999. Similarly, Dyson's older models, such as the V8 Origin (AU$284.99 from AU$499) and V15s Detect Submarine (AU$869 from AU$1,549), are often discounted. Sennheiser headphones, such as the Momentum 4 headphones (AU$240 from AU$499) and earbuds (AU$247 from AU$499), as well as the HD600 open-back headphones (AU$299 from AU$599.95), are also among the products that we refuse to pay full price for. Breville appliances, including the Barista Express (AU$599 from AU$999) and InFizz Fusion (AU$141.05 from AU$249), are frequently discounted on Amazon. Amazon's own products, such as the Blink Outdoor 4 (AU$58.99 from AU$179) and Kindle Paperwhite (AU$259 from AU$329), are also frequently discounted during major sale events. Electric toothbrushes, particularly oscillating/rotating and sonic models from Oral-B and Philips, are often discounted by over 60% on Amazon.",
