Best electric heater deals in February 2025, from Dyson to De'Longhi

Best electric heater deals in February 2025, from Dyson to De'Longhi

Independent30-01-2025
Winter will be sticking around for a little while yet, so, if you're looking for ways to thaw out for less this season, this is where we'll be tracking the hottest deals on electric heaters, including the very best savings on IndyBest's tried and tested recommendations.
While central heating is more energy efficient for warming your entire house, using a portable electric heater to boost the temperature in a small area of your home can help you cut down on your bills and avoid wasting energy. The devices are also useful when other heating options just aren't available to you.
While prices vary, you really don't need to spend very much on an electric heater to stay warm. All electric heaters are essentially 100 per cent efficient, even the smallest and cheapest ones, meaning they convert all of the electricity they use into heat.
For example, at full power, a 2,400W electric heater will heat a given space twice as quickly as a 1,200W heater, but it will cost twice as much to run. The best saving you can make is by choosing the cheapest electric heater that still does everything you need it to.
That said, more expensive electric heaters can also come with features such as wireless controls, fan speed settings, timers and safety switches, which can be useful when trying to keep down costs.
The best electric heater deals for February 2025 are:
The best electric heater in our guide has been discounted by 33 per cent, meaning you can snap it up for less than £90. You'll be able to operate it via controls on the device itself or by using the Duux app on your phone. IndyBest tester Zoe Griffin noted how its curves 'blended in seamlessly with the decor of each room' and distributed heat evenly, being 'powerful enough to warm up a room of 30sqm', she added.
You can save £150 on an air purifier, heater and cooler at AO, plus a further £21 if you have AO's ' five star membership '. Dyson has combined three functions in one appliance with this gadget, which projects clean cool or hot air around the room. It has 10 speed settings, an oscillating function, and a remote control. When we reviewed a similar model, our tester said it raised 'the temperature from chilly to cosy in a matter of minutes', while being 'quite energy-efficient to operate'.
There's a small £20 discount on this IndyBest tried and tested heater, cooler and purifier which, as our reviewer noted, essentially 'does the same job as the Dyson hot + cool', but for less money. They added that the 'bladeless design offers smooth air flow around the heater and it oscillates 120 degrees, to ensure it distributes heat evenly'. It has 10 temperature settings, a timer, and an advanced HEPA system to capture dust and allergens.
'Solid, sturdy and subtly glamorous, this is not just a heater – it's a design statement', our reviewer said of this incredibly chic heater stove from Everhot. Hand-built and coming in 20 colourways, from pink to burgundy, this is built to last, they noted. As for its heating abilities, shortly after turning it on, they 'felt heat coming from the main vent and after around 30 minutes the main body of the stove was up to temperature and radiating gentle warming heat into the room'. It's expensive, yes, but this deal shaves £50 off the price.
If you're looking for a heater that can warm up big rooms in your home, you won't be disappointed with this model from Russell Hobbs. Home appliance tester Zoe Griffin recommended it for larger spaces and households with pets or children, given that it comes with an automatic shut-off function. It's also 'excellent at heating a room to a set temperature', she noted, 'powering off while the room stayed at that temperature and then whizzing into action again if it detected a decrease'.
There's a saving of more than 20 per cent to be had on this smart-looking De'Longhi model. It comes with two different heating settings, and there's a handle for when you need to carry it from room to room. Plus, it's billed as turning off automatically in any instance when it's accidentally knocked over, which is helpful if you have any rambunctious pets or children at home.
PureMate's fan heater is a compact and lightweight choice. Easily portable, the appliance features three different modes (high heat, low heat, and fan), an adjustable thermostat and overheat protection. While we haven't tested this model yet, it is said to run quietly, too, according to the brand.
If you want to keep the temperature in your living space just so, you may benefit from using this model from Dreo, as it allows you to set exact temperatures from a wide range – between 5C and 35C. This not only means you can have your living space at a temperature that suits you, it also avoids producing unnecessary heat. Touted as being a quiet option, it also features a 12-hour timer and can spread heat up to 200 per cent further, according to the brand.
If you want an electric heater that can move around the house with you, you'll want to take a look at this tried-and-tested model, which made it into our guide to the best electric heaters. Our tester loved the design of this heater, saying it looks more like 'a luxury speaker than a fan'. They were also delighted with its performance, saying 'it was unexpectedly powerful and able to heat an area of 55 square metres well'.

Best deals for Amazon Prime Day 2025: Expert tested recommendations

Amazon Prime Day will return from 8 to 11 July, bringing four days of huge discounts on everything from mattresses and air fryers to electric toothbrushes, laptops and Apple tech. Amazon Prime subscribers will find discounts across some of our favourite tested products from brands like Shark, CeraVe, Elemis and Dyson. There will also be offers on some of Amazon's own devices like Kindles, Echo Dot smart speakers and Fire tablets. In previous years, we've seen plenty of big-ticket products fall to their lowest-ever price, such as the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, which were reduced to just £179 last year. While the sale hasn't started yet, there are still countless deals at Amazon right now, and the discounts are increasing as we approach the sale. Keep scrolling for all the latest details on the next Prime Day sale and our team's selection of tried and tested products for the very best Amazon deals available today. When is Amazon Prime Day 2025? Amazon has confirmed that the next Prime Day sale will take place from Tuesday 8 to Friday 11 July. This is the first time the sales event has run for four days, so you'll have even more time to shop for the best deals. How to get the best deal on Amazon Prime Day Before you shop the Amazon Prime Day sale, make a wish list to avoid buying products that you don't need. Once the sale starts, use price history tools, such as CamelCamelCamel, to see if you're truly getting a good deal or if you should hold off buying until the price goes down even further. It's also worth doing a quick Google search to see if you can get a better price at other retailers. Competing retailers often reduce the prices of popular products to match, or even provide a better offer, than Amazon. They may also throw in a longer warranty or free delivery. Best early Amazon Prime Day deals in the UK: Our senior tech critic Alex Lee loved this air fryer when he put it to the test. Unlike usual air fryers, this model combines a glass bowl with an air frying lid for compact, clever storage. It's perfect for meal prep; you can cook a meal for work in the small 1.4L bowl, put the included travel lid on, and put it in the fridge for easy commuter meals. Shark's HydroGo portable fan combines the five fan speeds of the FlexBreeze, which we named our best cordless fan, with a fine mist, thanks to the addition of a 150ml water tank. Our reviewer found that the original FlexBreeze did a 'great job of cooling the air to each side of the unit as well as directly in front of it', so you can expect the same cooling power from this model. Right now, you can save 24 per cent on the portable fan at Amazon. The price fell at the end of June, so we'll let you know if there are further reductions when Prime Day starts next week. If you want to invest in an electric fan, this one from Duux, which is also one of our best electric fans, has an impressive 24 per cent off at the moment. The height is adjustable, so you can also use it as a desktop fan, making it all the more versatile. Our reviewer liked 'the natural breeze mode that simulated real wind,' as well as its free app, which allows you to control it from any room in the house. With 26 different speed settings, you can truly customise just how cool it gets, along with its direction. This will no doubt come in handy over the summer months. Turning your pillow to the cool side in this heatwave? You need these climate control pillows. Our favourite budget cooling pillows, our tester found that 'The pillow maintained a consistently comfortable temperature without that clammy feeling that often accompanies standard synthetic options.' If you're on a tighter budget, we found that 'these pillows offer remarkable value while delivering genuine cooling benefits that make a noticeable difference to your sleep'. This Garnier vitamin C SPF50 is one of our senior shopping writer's favourite budget SPF formulas. It's now almost half price on Amazon, arriving just in time to stock up for the summer months. She finds that it 'gives premium formulas a serious run for their money' and is 'easily blended with your fingers' thanks to its gel consistency. However, it's one of Amazon's lightning deals, so you'll need to be quick if you want to snap it up. We're expecting to see a range of discounts on Ninja's kitchen appliances and cookware when Prime Day lands. Right now, you can save almost 20 per cent on the brand's electric outdoor pizza oven, perfect for summer entertaining, and it's the cheapest we've ever seen it. We put Ninja's woodfire pizza oven to the test and found it gave us pizzas with a 'lovely charred taste and crispy crust'. This version doesn't come with the option to use wood pellets, but if you can do without that smoky taste, you'll save yourself around £50. Amazon slashed the price of this Tefal air fryer to £99.99 in October's Prime Day sale, and it's dropped back down to this price again. Our tester Katie reviewed the XXL model and found that her frozen chips and chicken shawarma cooked 'quickly and evenly'. She also liked its 'easy-to-use controls, the dishwasher-safe baskets and trays, and the family-sized proportions'. Shark is an Indybest favourite with its vacuum cleaners and hair tools often earning spots in our round-ups. Its anti-hair wrap cordless vacuum is now 36 per cent off at Amazon. It's a good choice, with pet, crevice and upholstery tools that are perfect for tackling messy carpets. We're expecting more discounts from Shark when Prime Day rolls around, so we'll update you on the best deals as soon as they arrive. If you're looking to upgrade your video doorbell, our best model for digital privacy has a huge 40 per cent off on Amazon. Our reviewer's favourite feature on the video doorbell was its night vision camera, which has 'probably the sharpest and brightest picture' that she's tried. This is the lowest the Eufy doorbell has ever dropped on Amazon. If it goes out of stock, you can also get it for the same price at Eufy when you use the discount code 'WS24E8222'. However, both are limited-time deals, so they won't be around for long. Eufy is also known for its cleaning appliances, one of which we named our best robot vacuum cleaner. The L60 has enough suction power to pick up standard household dirt like food crumbs and pet hair, but you'll have to forgo features such as mopping and advanced obstacle detection that pricier models have. It's currently reduced by 36 per cent as part of Amazon's early Prime Day deals, so you'll need to be a member to snap it up. We've only seen the price drop this low during last year's Black Friday sale. If you'd rather go hands-free with your vacuuming, Samsung's jet bot robot vacuum cleaner is at its lowest ever price on Amazon right now. Our reviewer found that it had 'the most powerful suction of any robot vacuum,' that they tried, plus they appreciated how it 'successfully avoided toys, piles of laundry and whatever else was left out on the floor'. So, if you're looking to invest in a robot vacuum, you'll need to be quick, as stock is limited. We'll make sure to update you if we spot any more bargains on robot vacuums. Here's a chance to save on Samsung's smartwatch, with a deal on the predecessor to the latest Galaxy watch 7. This version doesn't have as many AI or sleep tracking features, but our tech reviewer said even those familiar with the Galaxy range 'would struggle to tell the difference between them'. With a 43 per cent discount, we haven't seen the price of the smartwatch drop any lower on Amazon. If there are further reductions when Prime Day lands, we'll make sure to let you know. Amazon's 32in Fire TV plummeted to its lowest ever price in the last Prime Day sale. While the viewing experience may not be as needle-sharp as a pricier TV set, you can change programmes with just your voice, thanks to Alexa capabilities. There's built-in access to all the main streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. Right now, you can pick up the set with a 28 per cent discount, so this inexpensive TV is now even cheaper. Amazon reduced the price of the latest Macbook Air last month, and now, with a further reduction, it's at one of its lowest prices ever at the online retailer. Our tech critic, David Phelan, praised the 'preposterously slim, sharply designed and appealingly light' laptop after putting it to the test. We've seen some fantastic Apple discounts during Prime Day in the past, so we'll make sure to update you as the best deals drop next month. Toothbrush deals aren't just limited to Prime Day, as we often spot them throughout the whole year. This electric model is our best budget pick and is currently half price. Tech critic Steve Hogarty said, 'It has everything you really need and none of the frills: it's compatible with the standard Oral-B brush heads, it has a timer with 30-second pacing buzzes, three modes, a pressure sensor and a two-week battery life.' It left him with that classic 'just been to the dentist' feeling. In his review, Steve explained that Suri's sustainable toothbrushes are designed to be 'more easily recycled or repaired'. Once your toothbrush has reached the end of its lifespan, you can send it back to the brand for free, and they will recycle it for you. While we can't test these sustainability claims, our reviewer, Steve, was impressed with how the Suri toothbrush performed and liked its 'sleek, slim, and compact' design. With this deal, the brush has a fairly decent discount of 20 per cent off, and we'll be keeping an eye out for more reductions on Prime Day. If you need a stain remover that lifts tough dirt, you can't go wrong with Vanish oxi action. We put its oxi action whitener to the test and found it 'effective on collar grime and food stains'. This version is better for dark and coloured clothing, as it doesn't include a whitener. However, with more than 50 per cent off, you won't be able to get this 1.4kg pack cheaper elsewhere, even on your weekly supermarket shop. The stain remover also comes under Amazon's ' You Buy. We Donate ' campaign. When you buy two selected everyday essentials, Amazon will donate a third item to the Multibank charity, who distribute hygiene and household essentials to families in need across the UK. This lightweight hair oil from Olaplex can be used as a pre-styling treatment, as it provides heat protection up to 230C. 'It doesn't leave my strands feeling heavy, weighed down,' said our tester. She also found that a little goes a long way and said, 'While the bottle looks decidedly small, from experience, it lasts a very long time'. You can save 20 per cent on the hair oil with this deal. We'll be on the lookout for price drops from the haircare brand as we approach Prime Day. When we compared the original hydrating cleanser (£10, to this cream-to-foam iteration, our expert reviewer, Louise, said she was "pleasantly surprised at how rich and creamy the lather felt on [her] skin.' She added: 'If you love the hydrating cleanser but want a bit more make-up removing power and hydration thanks to the amino acids, we'd suggest trying the new version' – especially with 20 per cent off. Amazon Prime Day is a four-day sale event for Prime members. It's usually held twice a year – once in the summer and again in October to kick-start Christmas shopping. The event features deals across top brands, from Apple to Dyson, as well as offers on its bestselling own tech, including Kindle and Echo dot smart speakers. Do you need to be a Prime member? If you want to take advantage of Prime Day discounts, you must be a Prime member. A Prime membership costs £8.99 a month, or £95 if you pay annually. If you're between 18 to 22-years-old, this is half the standard price, and you get a 6-month trial to see if it's for you. Perks include unlimited one-day delivery, access to Prime Video and the chance to shop Prime-exclusive deals. However, if you're unsure about adding another monthly cost to your bills, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. This will give you full access to all the Prime member benefits, and you can cancel at any time during your trial to avoid being charged when it expires. Just bear in mind that this only works if you haven't signed for the free trial before.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: what will the best deals be?

Amazon Prime Day 2025 will run from Tuesday July 8 to Friday July 11. It's the first time that this summer sale, exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers, has been scheduled to last four days. This could be a good time to make your next big purchase. The best Amazon Prime Day deals are invariably on Amazon's own products such as Echo Dot speakers, Kindle e-Readers, Fire TVs and Ring video doorbells, as well as their own-label clothing and household products. See their Prime Day page for an idea of the range. This year, Amazon have promised savings on brands including Dyson, Shark, Lego, Ninja, Sonos, Bose and CeraVe – although you should always make sure you're getting a genuine bargain before making a purchase. Past years have seen genuine discounts on some of the best electric toothbrushes and clothes steamers we've reviewed and some of the most sought-after headphones, including Apple Airpods. Below, you can read our predictions for the best deals to expect on Amazon Prime Day this year, based on previous sales. Many of our top-rated products are discounted in these events. First though, here are the answers to some common questions. When is Amazon Prime Day 2025 in the UK? It will start at midnight on the morning of Tuesday July 8 and end at midnight on the evening of Friday July 11. Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member to get Prime Day deals in the UK? Yes, only subscribers to Amazon Prime will get the Prime Day discounts. Happily, that includes free trial members, who can benefit from 30 days' Prime membership before having to pay the standard £8.99 a month or £95 a year. Prime for students is half the price and free for the first six months. You have to prove you are enrolled on a course. With an Amazon Prime subscription you get unlimited premium delivery and access to Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading and other benefits including lightning deals. Read our Amazon Prime review to find out more. Is Amazon Prime Day only once a year? No, there are two Prime Day sale events. The first is in mid-July and the second, sometimes called Prime Big Deals Day, is in mid-October. How can I find the best deals? The best way is to bookmark this page, which is constantly updated with the best genuine deals. If you know what you want to buy, you could make a wish list on Amazon or at a site such as Pricerunner which can alert you when prices drop. Read my guide to finding the best deals for more tips. Amazon promote their AI assistant Rufus as a good way to get deal alerts tailored to you, but remember to check that anything it recommends is a genuine deal. Are Prime Day deals genuinely good value? Prices are inflated beforehand in many cases. For example, on June 11 the price of the Fire HD 8 tablet was suddenly increased by £30 and the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet was increased by £65, a leap of over 75 per cent. So it's important to check using a pricetracker such as CamelCamelCamel or Keepa. These will show you the price history of any product on Amazon. At Telegraph Recommended, we only recommend deals if they are genuinely at their lowest price. Claimed discounts of 50 per cent or more are usually not real: the actual discount is often less than five per cent. Anything over 10 per cent off the real average price is genuinely good value. This year, we wanted to ask how you felt about Prime Day. 152 readers took part in a discussion in June*. While some had been happy to purchase gifts, electronics, pet supplies or beauty products in Prime Day sales, an equal number doubted the value of the deals. Here are some of their comments: Can I return items I buy on Amazon Prime Day? Yes, items bought on Prime Day have the same returns policy as on any other day of the year. Amazon allows returns within 30 days of receipt if the goods are in an unused and undamaged condition, with a few exceptions. Some people think they can buy a discounted item on Prime Day and return it for a refund after the price has gone back up, making a profit. This doesn't work. You will only be refunded what you paid. Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended No manufacturer ever sees Telegraph Recommended articles before publication and we don't accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles. We do extensive research and use price-tracking tools to find the best deals, which are all reviewed by our in-house team of consumer journalists before publication. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. What will go on sale this Prime Day? This is never known ahead of time, but we can make reasonable predictions based on past Amazon sale events. Here's a selection of Telegraph Recommended-approved products which saw genuine discounts in Amazon's Spring Deal Days in March. 1. Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet Current price: £99.99 Average price over last six months: £80 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £54.99 Best budget tablet The Fire HD 8 launched last year as a lower-cost option in Amazon's own tablet range. In March's sale it dropped to £55, which is £25 less than usual. The Fire HD 8 doesn't have the most high-end spec, but this tablet was still good enough to score 7/10 in our recent review. It's lightweight, has decent battery life, and helps keep you connected with your chosen streaming, social media and communication apps, and was named the best budget tablet in our best tablets roundup. 2. Amazon Fire TV Stick HD (newest gen) Current price: £39.99 Average price over last six months: £37 Price in the March Amazon Spring Sale: £24.99 Amazon's latest basic streamer This is the newest version of Amazon's streaming stick for non-4K TVs, and has key services such as Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus streaming in an aesthetically updated package. In our review of the Fire Stick HD, the device's exceptional voice commands, setup process and streaming services contributed to an impressive overall score of 8/10. Usually, one of these smart little sticks would set you back about £37 but you could pick one up for £25 in the Spring Deals sale. We expect to see similar discounts for Prime Day. Apple's devices don't often see discounts so when one appears, even just a small one, it's worth considering. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the latest compact tablet from Apple, usually sold for about £450. It dropped to £430 in Amazon's last sale event. We picked it as the best tablet for everyday use in our guide to the best tablets. In her iPad mini (A17 Pro) review, Britta O'Boyle said: 'There's a lovely, lightweight design, a bright and vibrant display and swish performance. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is a superb compact tablet that's perfect for everyday use and very portable.' The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids is our overall top pick of the best tablets for kids. In the March sale the price dropped to its lowest ever at £69.99, compared to the average price of £114. It has a great battery life and the price includes a two-year, worry-free guarantee where Amazon will replace it if it breaks. Reviewer Britta O'Boyle described the parental controls on the device as excellent, as the Amazon parent dashboard enables you to ensure children can only access age-appropriate content. She also said the dashboard lets you monitor screen time, approve app requests and block websites remotely from your phone, and she praised the included robust case with its built-in stand too. 5. Amazon Kindle Current price: £94.99 Average price over last six months: £94 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £79.99 Best budget e-reader Amazon's entry-level Kindle dropped from £95 to £80 for Black Friday and again in the March sale. A similar hefty discount for Prime Day looks very likely. The Amazon Kindle delivers a superb reading experience, with access to an expansive library of e-books. It offers an incredibly portable design too, allowing you to catch up on your latest read whether you're on a sun lounger or squashed onto a packed tube. Reviewer Alan Martin said: 'While the costlier Paperwhite tops our list of the best Kindles, the Kindle 2024 offers 90 per cent of the features and that will be sufficient for most readers.' 6. Sony WH1000XM4 Current price: £189 Average price over last six months: £197 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £177.99 Best noise-cancelling headphones Awarded Best Buy in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones, the Sony WH1000XM4 dropped to £178 in the March sale and in the past have been available for as little as £175, a good price for such an excellent pair of cans. They are not the brand's newest headphones. The current M6 version has additional noise-cancelling features, but these still have over 30 hours of battery with noise-cancelling turned on and they deliver a superb mix of performance and price. Reviewer Rob Waugh said: 'In the under-£200 bracket, these are undisputed sound quality champions, with breathtakingly realistic music where the vocals sound like you're in the room with the person.' Our favourite smart alarm clock, the Echo Spot dropped to £55 in the March sale and has been known to drop to £45. Perfect for a bedside table, the Echo Spot has a display to show you the time and other important information, like the weather. It also has built-in Alexa, allowing you to perform various functions from controlling your smart home devices to playing your favourite music or podcasts, and the design is small and compact so it doesn't attract too much unwanted attention. In our Echo Spot review, Alan Martin said it was a 'charming little smart speaker' with the 'sound quality good enough for the bedroom and Alexa a helpful assistant'. Ahead of the sale, Amazon has already dropped the price of its own Fire TV by about £30 but you might be advised to hold off until Prime Day before buying. It dropped by a further £30 during the Spring Sale. What do we think of the Amazon Fire TV? In our round-up of the best 4K TVs our television expert, Chris Hall, called it the best smart 4K TV, with its Alexa voice assistant integration and breadth of apps. Screen quality is superb for the price, too, with the TV adapting to the light levels in your room and tweaking the picture accordingly. 9. Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro Current price: £199.99 Average price over last six months: £178 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £129 Best Ring wireless doorbell If you're looking to improve your home security you can do a lot worse than the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Loaded to the hilt with useful features, the Video Doorbell Pro is the only Ring camera with head-to-toe imaging, ideal for identifying packages left on your doorstep. It's currently more expensive than usual, so wait for the (probable) hefty Prime Day discount before buying. In our review of the best video doorbells, our reviewer Kulwinder Rai found that the fisheye camera offered plenty of detail and was particularly impressed with the Colour Night Vision, allowing him to identify nearby car number plates even in low light. Prime Day could be a smart time to pick up a previous-generation flagship smartphone for less. Samsung's Galaxy S24 has since been replaced by the Galazy S25 Ultra, but the differences were not huge. If you can pick last year's model up for the £659 we saw in the March sale, you will save a fortune. You get the same set of Galaxy AI tricks, including the ability to remove unwanted objects from the background of your pictures with just a tap and instant translations during calls. The display is immaculate, too, with true-to-life colour accuracy and a high level of brightness. Apple's top-of-the-range iPhone is already back down to its Spring Sale price. At just five per cent off, this doesn't meet our usual 10 per cent threshold, but keep an eye out: there's a small chance it could dip further on Prime Day. Even if not, a £25 discount is better than none. The iPhone 16 is undoubtedly expensive, but worth the outlay. You can read all about why our reviewer Britta O'Boyle rates it (including for its cameras and fast performance) in our best iPhone guide. Best predicted home deals 12. Hoover HL5 Current price: £169 Average price over last six months: £225 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £149 Best lift-away vacuum for pet hair As any pet owner knows, it takes a special kind of vacuum cleaner to gracefully gather animal hairs, especially if you have a long-haired cat or dog. One of the best you can get is the Hoover HL5 Pets, which we consider one of the top vacuum cleaners for pet hair, earning a score of 9/10 during our hands-on testing. We regard this model as the best lift-away vacuum cleaner for pet hair, thanks especially to its impressive suction. The cleaner's HEPA 13 filter will help prep a feline-owning home for visitors who are allergic to cats, too. It was discounted by over £75 in Amazon's spring sale, so should be worth keeping a very close eye on. 13. GTech AirRAM MK2 K9 Current price: £224 Average price over last six months: £238 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £183.99 Best pet vacuum cleaner for older users The GTech AirRAM dropped to £184 in the March sale, its lowest price ever. It's our top pick for older users in our best pet vacuum cleaners guide thanks to its lightweight build and ease of use. When I reviewed it, I said: 'Although the AirRAM K9 is far less powerful than the other vacuums we tried, the suction is actually pretty great. The large, rectangular head leaves clear, broad stripes where it's been, like a proper floor cleaner should.' 14. Philips 5000 Series 9L NA555/09 Dual Basket Steam Air Fryer Current price: £189.99 Average price over last six months: £211 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £169.99 Best dual air fryer for steaming The Philips 5000 Series 9L NA555/09 Dual Basket Steam Air Fryer dipped to a record low £169.99 in the March sale, which is a saving of £40 on the average price. When we reviewed it for our best air fryer guide, we loved the steam function and the option to cook both frozen and fresh fries. Reviewer Rebecca Shepherd said the Philips 5000 Series air fried food brilliantly and 'each test resulted in dishes that were golden brown, deliciously crisp and nowhere near dry'. 15. De'Longhi Rivelia Automatic Current price: £649 Average price over last six months: £714 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £599.99 Best bean-to-cup coffee machine Our Best Buy in our best bean-to-cup coffee machine guide dropped to its lowest ever price in the Spring event, about £150 less than it's currently on sale for. It offers a fantastic range of coffee options, is very easy to use and has a compact footprint. Reviewer Anna Tobin said in her De'Longhi Rivelia Automatic review: 'When tested against other bean-to-cup coffee machines the De'Longhi Rivelia came out as our favourite overall because it produces several different types of great-tasting coffee and it's super simple to operate and pretty easy to keep clean'. 16. Ninja Extended Life 20cm Ceramic Non-Stick Frying Pan Current price: £44.55 Average price over last six months: £49 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £43.99 Best ceramic frying pan Unfortunately, we can't guarantee Prime Day savings on the HexClad frying pan, which we consider the best frying pan you can buy. However, the Ninja Extended Life 20cm Ceramic Non-Stick Frying Pan was discounted by 20 per cent in the Spring sale and could see similar savings on Prime Day. Ninja cookware has a lot of buzz around it, but it lived up to its reputation when our writer Tomé Morrissy-Swan tried it out. He said: 'It has a sturdy feel for such a small frying pan, although it isn't heavy. The ceramic non-stick surface is super slick. Fried eggs and omelettes cooked without oil slid out of the pan straight onto my toast.' 17. Cuisinart One Cup Grind And Brew Coffee Machine Current price: £132.99 Average price over last six months: £141 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £107.98 Best budget coffee machine The current price is about average for this compact bean-to-cup machine, which is a good reason to hold off buying for a little while. The March sale saw its price slashed by £33. Our coffee expert Silvana Franco was impressed with this affordable machine, naming it the best budget-friendly option in her best coffee machines review round-up. It's not going to give you barista-quality coffee or fancy features such as grind size adjustment, but what you do get is an easy way to make classic, filter-style black coffee at home. 18. Breville Iced Coffee Maker Current price: £32.99 Average price over last six months: £31 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £24.99 Best iced coffee maker We named this model the best iced coffee maker in our test of the best coffee machines. You use it pretty much like a filter coffee maker, and place a cup with ice beneath the coffee as it pours out (possibly squirting in a syrup for added flavour), and is an easy-to-use budget-friendly option. It's never expensive, but was reduced by 20 per cent in the March sale, which is about as good a genuine discount as you can get in Amazon sales. 19. Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Current price: £399 Average price over last six months: £359 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £299 Best carpet cleaner overall The March discount on the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam brought the top-performing product from our best carpet cleaners round-up down to its lowest price ever, at £299. Bissell's carpet cleaner is equipped with innovative steam cleaning tech that impressed our reviewer Kulwinder Rai. 'This machine categorically outperforms every other consumer-grade wet carpet cleaner I've tested, which is no mean feat,' he said. 'Even deeply embedded, dried-in blood and wine stains succumbed to its ministrations, once given a couple of passes of pure steam pre-treatment.' Best predicted fitness and beauty deals 20. Panasonic ES-EY90-A511 Wet and Dry Epilator Current price: £199.99 Average price over last six months: £125 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £99.99 Best epilator overall The Panasonic ES-EY90-A511 Wet and Dry Epilator was crowned Best Buy in our best epilator guide and saw a very decent discount of £25 in the Spring sale. Reviewer Annabel Fenwick Elliott said: 'What a fantastic piece of kit. Not only was this the most efficient model for epilation, thanks to its somewhat-scary looking, combine harvester-esque double-row of tweezer discs, it also comes with an impressive array of extra accessories – including, most importantly, a small head that you can use on areas like the chin. This also makes it the best epilator for the face, and even toes.' 21. Waterpik Cordless Advanced Water Flosser Current price: £80.33 Average price over last six months: £90 Price in the March 2025 Amazon Spring Sale: £69.99 Best water flosser We named the Waterpik Cordless Advanced Water Flosser the Best Buy in our best water flosser guide, so we were thrilled to see it reduced to £70 both on Black Friday and in the Amazon Spring sale. It's simple to use, packs away neatly and it offers three intensity modes. Reviewer Rebecca Astill said she thought this water flosser was 'almost perfect' when she reviewed it. 'I'd recommend starting out on the low mode as water flossing is quite a strange sensation if you haven't tried it before. I've built my way up and now favour the high mode and I've really noticed a difference in my gum line and overall mouth health.' Similar to the far more expensive Oral-B iO10 but costing much less, the iO3 has a handy brush head replacement reminder and a built-in pressure sensor, with the toothbrush flashing either red or green depending on how hard you might be pressing when brushing. Our reviewer, Rebecca Astill, said: 'The surprisingly quiet sonic vibrations do provide a thorough clean of the mouth, reaching all the hard to reach corners and crevices.' It's already reduced by £44 from its fairly steep average price, but we predict the price on Prime Day could fall even lower, as it did in the Spring sale. * The research was conducted by the Telegraph Contributors panel with 152 Telegraph readers, aged 18+ in the UK between 18.06.2025-23.06.2025.
