My Shopping Secret: Kogan Helped Me Get a Nintendo Switch 2 (and a Whole Lot More) Without Overspending

One late night, I was scrolling through prices for the new Nintendo Switch 2. Every retailer either had it out of stock or inflated the price beyond reason. Then I found it on Kogan—not just the console, but the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle for \$755.

That was the moment I realized I didn’t need to jump through hoops, watch restock alerts, or settle for reseller markups anymore. Kogan had it—in stock, legit, and cheaper than anywhere else. No bidding wars. No shady “used – like new” listings. Just a real, sealed product at a price that didn’t make me hesitate.

I ordered it that same night.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle That Made My Living Room a Playground

I unpacked it like a kid on Christmas morning. The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is exactly what gaming in 2025 should be. The console has this ultra-premium matte finish, faster load times, and the visuals are unreal on a 4K TV. Mario Kart World? Sharp, responsive, and ridiculously fun with friends.

This bundle came with:

• The brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 console
• A full copy of Mario Kart World (pre-installed)
• Two upgraded Joy-Cons
• A charging dock and HDMI cable

Kogan had it listed at \$755 for Kogan First members, and I was already a member. Shipping was fast. The box was factory sealed, untouched, not a smudge on it.

They even offered extras at checkout—screen protector, carrying case, Pro controller—all at member-only discounts. I grabbed a travel pouch and an extra controller without pushing the price past \$800.

The Standard Nintendo Switch 2 Is Just as Worth It

Later that week, a friend came over, tried my setup, and wanted their own. They didn’t need the bundle—just the console. Kogan had the Nintendo Switch 2 standalone version for \$685. Again, cheaper than what other stores were charging without even including tax or shipping.

It was in stock. Brand new. No third-party seller games. Just Kogan’s warehouse-to-door model that’s faster than anything I’ve experienced.

The console alone is impressive:

• Faster chipset
• OLED+ screen for handheld mode
• Haptic response that actually feels good
• Backward compatibility with Switch 1 games
• 1080p docked and stable 60FPS

Kogan offered a one-click bundle option, where I added Zelda: Echoes of Time and a Pro controller for under \$100 extra. Everything came in a single box. Clean, efficient, and without any need to hunt around.

Kogan Isn’t Just Where I Game—It’s Where I Buy Everything

I didn’t stop after that first console. Something about the ease, the savings, and the range just kept me coming back. Now, I use Kogan for nearly everything.

Let me show you where else I saved:

My Living Room Got a Cinematic Upgrade

To make the most of my Switch 2, I went to Kogan’s TV & Home Theatre section. I found a 65” QLED 4K smart TV with HDR10+, game mode, and Dolby Audio. It cost half of what I’d pay in-store.

Added a wall bracket, smart remote, and a Bluetooth soundbar—all from Kogan. I didn’t need to price match or dig through clearance bins. Everything I wanted was already discounted and in stock.

My Phone and Wearables? Same Place

When I needed a phone upgrade, Kogan had options that made my carrier’s store look like a bad joke. I picked up a Samsung Galaxy at nearly 20% off the market price. Then found a pair of wireless earbuds, and a smartwatch that syncs with my sleep data.

It’s all under their Mobile & Wearables section. Even screen protectors, cables, and wireless charging pads are priced better than Amazon.

My Laptop Didn’t Come From a Storefront

I bought a Windows laptop from Kogan months ago. The model had 16GB RAM, an SSD, and a crisp display, and cost less than half what other retailers charged.

They have a Computers, Laptops & Tablets section that includes Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and even Android tablets. I also found a second monitor, a vertical mouse, and a cooling pad—all shipped together.

Game Night Is Always Ready

Kogan doesn’t just stop at consoles. Their Gaming section includes:

• Extra Joy-Cons
• Pro Controllers
• Console cases
• Headsets
• Charging docks
• Gaming chairs and mats
• Digital code cards

I even found retro game pads for my emulator setup.

Electronics for Work, Play, and Life

My power bank? From Kogan.
My Bluetooth keyboard? Kogan.
Wireless router? Yep, Kogan again.

I bought a 10-in-1 USB-C dock that powers my work setup, dual monitors, and charges my phone—all in one plug. Kogan’s Electronics section covers smart tech, chargers, soundbars, HDMI extenders, portable projectors, and more.

My Smart Home Is Fully Kogan-Powered

In the Smart Home section, I got:

• Wi-Fi doorbell cam
• Smart LED strips
• App-connected heater
• Smart plug that tracks energy use

All controllable via Google Assistant. Setup took less than 15 minutes.

Kitchen Life, Simplified

The air fryer came first. Then a coffee machine. Then a pressure cooker. Now half my counter is filled with Kogan’s home appliances:

• Blender with presets
• Digital microwave
• Water purifier
• Smart toaster

The prices made it easy to say yes.

I Redid My Patio Without Leaving My Chair

Kogan’s Home, Garden & Pets section helped me create a backyard space I actually enjoy. I got:

• Foldable sun lounger
• Firepit
• Solar lights
• Artificial turf
• Pet cooling mat

And yes, they sell dog beds, feeders, toys, and grooming kits.

Furnished My Apartment Without a Single Store Visit

Kogan helped me furnish every room:

• Queen bed with gas-lift storage
• LED bedside tables
• Standing desk and ergonomic chair
• Fabric sectional sofa
• Foldable dining table

Their Furniture section updates constantly, with flash sales and clearance stock moving fast.

Kogan Even Covers My Closet

I wasn’t expecting much from their Shoes & Fashion section, but I ended up with:

• Trail shoes
• A waterproof jacket
• Comfy joggers
• A 5-pack of socks that didn’t feel cheap

It’s functional stuff—not about logos, just gear that works.

Hiking, Camping, and Staying Active

I ordered a camping kit for a weekend trip:

• Two-person tent
• Sleeping bag
• Gas stove
• Hydration pack
• Foldable table

All from Kogan’s Sports, Outdoor & Travel section. I even added sunscreen and bug spray while I was there.

Baby Essentials and Kids’ Toys

My sister’s baby shower gift? Kogan.
My nephew’s birthday present? Kogan.
Christmas gifts? Also Kogan.

Their Baby & Kids category includes:

• Monitors
• Ride-on toys
• Books
• Educational games
• Bottle warmers and high chairs

No need to second-guess.

Wellness Without Breaking the Bank

I wanted to get into a better daily routine. Found a:

• Foam roller
• Massage gun
• Digital body scale
• Skincare fridge
• Beard trimmer

All from Kogan’s Health & Beauty section.

Garage Gear and Auto Tools

Needed a tire inflator. Got one from Kogan.
Needed a new drill set. Found one on Kogan.
My car battery died? Kogan had a jump starter kit.

Their Tools & Auto section saved me on three separate weekends.

When I’m Bored, Kogan Still Delivers

Literally. I found:

• Puzzle books
• Model kits
• Indoor dartboard
• Drone with camera
• Paint-by-number canvas

All under Toys & Hobbies, just to fill weekends without spending a lot.

Pantry, Snacks, and Wine

Didn’t think I’d use Kogan for groceries—but now I do.
I’ve ordered:

• Wine packs
• Cocktail shakers
• Organic snacks
• Pasta, sauces, teas
• Craft beer selections

It all arrives faster than most food delivery subscriptions.

Kogan First Pays for Itself Fast

The moment I saw the Switch 2 bundle drop to \$755, I paid for Kogan First. With that membership, I get:

• Lower member-only prices
• Free express shipping
• Priority access to new releases
• Exclusive bundles
• Easier returns

It paid for itself on my first checkout.

I Just Keep Coming Back

From gaming to groceries, patio lights to power tools, every purchase has come with fewer headaches and better pricing. Kogan isn’t just another online store—it’s the place I check before I search anywhere else.

Whether it’s the newest console or something small like kitchen foil or a camping mug, it’s all there, priced right, ready to ship, and covered by a service that’s reliable enough to keep me coming back again and again.
