Amazon slashes price of 'massive and brilliant' paddling pool big enough for adults
Ideal for both kids and adults, this 10ft wide by 30 inches deep round pool is perfect for keeping the whole family entertained through the warmer months. Thanks to its three-layer reinforced material construction, it's promoted as puncture-proof and robust, ready to handle a full season of fun.
Featuring a 'fill and rise' system, the above-ground pool simply expands as water is added after inflating the top ring. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
With its straightforward setup, those sweltering at home could be taking the plunge by tomorrow if they take advantage of next-day delivery options available to Amazon Prime subscribers.
Inflating a paddling pool often feels like a daunting task, however, Amazon claims that it only takes about five minutes to inflate the ring, and filling the pool with water can be done in 40 minutes, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
Alongside the pool itself, buyers receive a filter pump, protective cover and even a repair patch kit for any tears. Although designed for children six years and older, the pool is also a breeze to drain and fold away when the summer sun sets.
If you're eager to make a splash without waiting for delivery, Argos has the Funsicle Round Frame 10ft Pool available for £150. While it's a bit pricier, this pool boasts a sturdy snap-in frame, making it an ideal semi-permanent addition to any garden and can accommodate up to five people.
For those with larger outdoor spaces, the Large Bestway Framed Pool is a steal, reduced from £159 to just £64.99. It's available in three sizes so you can choose how big you want it.
Amazon's Intex 10 Foot Pool is proving popular, with a glowing 4.3 out of five stars from over 36,000 reviews.
A pleased customer shared: "This is a fantastic pool, massive and brilliant. Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years."
Another satisfied purchaser remarked: "It's an instant fun pool. I know it sounds simple, but it was fantastic on a hot day, and my teenagers spent hours sitting in it, sipping drinks and chatting."
A third pleased customer shared their satisfaction with the product, saying: "We got tired of having to replace the children's garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design."
Yet, not all feedback was glowing, as one buyer left a two-star review, voicing their issues: "The top is constantly deflating, within 2 weeks the top is deformed and sometimes the top is flipped over and the water spills, so I have to rush to lift it up."
Nonetheless, the Intex pool has largely been met with approval. One particularly thrilled reviewer gave a five-star rating, stating: "I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain. (Thanks Covid-19) If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it's like being on holiday. As pools go, this one is nothing short of fantastic. Get one."

Apple AirTag hits record low price in Amazon Prime Day sale so you never lose your bags again
Apple's AirTag, which can be attached to luggage, is currently on sale at Amazon for its lowest ever price Bluetooth trackers, the tiny tech devices that allow you to keep tabs on your belongings' every move, are gaining popularity. These useful gadgets can be attached to anything from suitcases and handbags to wallets and passports. One such device, Apple's AirTag, has seen a significant price reduction thanks to an early Amazon Prime Day discount. Having used it on their travels to France, New York, Italy, and Botswana, the Mirror's commerce editor Harriet Morphy-Morris highly recommends it to friends and family. The AirTag uses Apple's Find My Network, allowing users to track its movements continuously. Usually priced at £35 per tag, it is currently available for just £26.60 on Amazon, making it cheaper than buying directly from Apple. Setting up this trackable gadget is simple for iOS users. Once the AirTag is activated, simply bring it close to your iPhone or iPad, and a 'connect' notification will appear. You can then assign a name to your AirTag and register it with your Apple ID. Harriet did this back in 2022, and since using an AirTag for travel, she has never misplaced their luggage. The AirTag emits a unique network signal that can be detected by other nearby AirTag users. It sends its location to these users, who can then anonymously share the location with you. Apple enthusiasts may already be acquainted with the 'Find My' app, and the AirTag functions similarly to tracking a misplaced phone during the 'Find My iPhone' era. With the Find My app, Harriet said they can instantly see the location of their bags and when they were last there - particularly useful when boarding a plane, as it allows her to confirm whether their luggage has been loaded. AirTags do present a limitation for many travellers and mobile users, as they are exclusive to iOS, leaving Android users out in the cold. This is where competing devices such as the Tile tag and select models from Chipolo prove beneficial, as we outline below. There are alternatives from Chipolo, Tile and Samsung. The Tile by Life360 is available for purchase on Amazon at £34.99, a slight increase compared to the currently discounted AirTag. Like the AirTag, it also tracks items it's attached to via an app, but instead of immediately displaying the tracker's location upon opening (as with the AirTag), you have to select 'location history'. Harriet has previously compared the Tile tracker with the AirTag while travelling, and it does provide a slightly more accurate location on the map, including nearby shops and attractions that iOS doesn't display. Another alternative is Chipolo. The Chipolo Card Spot, which is compatible only with iPhones, is currently reduced to £19 and offers a slimmer option that can easily fit into purses and wallets. Tech deal of the week It's that time of year where we are looking for ways to keep cool amidst the balmy, summer days. One item shoppers are raving over is this DDKJ Neck Fan that can be used to keep cool when commuting, at work or in the home. Even better, it costs just £26.98 on Amazon. With certain parts of the UK set to reach sweltering 35C, it's handy that this neck fan comes with a rose gold cooling plate around the neck curve that is said to "feel like an ice cube", dropping temperatures to just 15C in as little as one second. Boasting an ergonomic, wearable design, it features two bladeless fans that are safe to wear, with five different speed settings that provide a cooling effect on the head, neck and sides. It's also quite smart thanks to a LED digital display that makes the operation easy and convenient, while the built-in 5500mAh large capacity rechargeable battery features a fast charging chip that ensures a full charge within just 2.5-3hrs. Numerous shoppers who have bagged the neck fan say it is a "godsend" and a "lifesaver" for the heatwave, with one writing: "This is easy to wear when sitting or walking generally. Works fast and never needed it on anything but the lowest setting! At my time of life it is a lifesaver, especially through the heatwave we experienced." Keep cool amidst the rising temperatures with the DDKJ Neck Fan with Cooling Plate on Amazon for £26.98 During a recent holiday, Harriet decided to test out the CARD Spot by Chipolo. Its slim design, similar to a bank card, makes it perfect for slipping into a wallet, passport, or ID, much like the Tile by Life360 or Eufy SmartTrack Card. However, Harriet opted to tuck it into her suitcase pocket for tracking during her flight. It's important to note that it relies solely on Apple's Find My network and doesn't have its own app. Currently on sale for £21, the CARD Spot offers features that set it apart from rivals such as AirTag and Tile. It's worth mentioning that this gadget may not be suitable for Android users due to compatibility issues. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Amazon may soon offer a reason to ditch your Fire TV Stick and try something new
Amazon is about to launch its next big Prime Day sale and that means some of its popular Fire TV Sticks could get huge price cuts. If your current Fire TV Stick is looking a little past its best, now could be a good time to ditch it and try something new. It's been confirmed that Amazon is about to launch another of its massive Prime Day sale events, and we expect some hefty price cuts to be announced across a swathe of devices. If history repeats itself, Amazon's own brand gadgets could see the biggest reductions. That includes the very latest Fire TV Sticks, which have often been slashed during previous Prime Day events. For example, the most premium Fire TV Stick 4K Max has seen its cost cut to under £45 during Prime Day. If that happens this time around, it could be a good time to invest with this device offering features such as better streaming, more power under its shell and the exclusive Ambient Experience which turns your TV into a work of art. There's also the latest Fire TV Stick 4K, which includes pin-sharp streaming, fast Wi-Fi 6 speeds and quick access to all the most popular apps such as Netflix and Disney+. The 4K currently costs £59.99, but that could drop to around £35 next week. Along with Fire TV Sticks, we are also likely to see Kindles, Fire Tablets and Echo speakers dropped in price. To add to the Prime Day excitement, it's also been confirmed that products from Bose, Sonos and LEGO will be included in the sale. Amazon also says there will be new offers this year called, 'Today's Big Deals'. These will be themed daily deal drops featuring some of the most exciting deals of the event, exclusive to Prime members. Members can enjoy deep discounts across top brands like Samsung, Kiehl's, and Levi's. These special offers launch daily at midnight PDT and remain available for a limited time, while supplies last. Just remember that you will need a Prime account which usually costs £8.99. However, Amazon does offer one month free, so if you sign up now, you won't have to pay for Prime Day deals.

Why Trump Called Japan's Auto Trade With the U.S. ‘Unfair'
View post: Amazon is selling a 'sturdy' $70 tool organizer wall mount for $33, and shoppers say it's the 'best thing ever' Japan and the U.S. don't appear closer to an auto tariff deal President Trump has labeled Japan as engaging in unfair auto trade with the U.S., while also suggesting that Japan should narrow its trade deficit by increasing its imports of American energy resources and other goods. On Sunday, Trump said: 'They won't take our cars, and yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States. It's not fair, and I explained that to Japan, and they understand it,' Reuters reports. Trump added: 'We have a big deficit with Japan, and they understand that too. Now we have oil. They could take a lot of oil, they could take a lot of other things.' Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:09 / 0:09 Full screen Honda may move the next-generation Civic production from Mexico to the U.S. Watch More Japan is working to strike a deal with the U.S. to lower auto tariffs and levies on other goods such as steel and aluminum before Trump's July 9 deadline, when the 90-day pause on broad U.S. tariffs expires. The auto sector represented approximately 28% of the total 21 trillion yen ($145 billion) worth of goods Japan exported to the U.S. last year, and Trump will likely maintain 25% tariffs on Japan's vehicle exports after the 90-day pause. Japan and the U.S. agreed to continue talks after Trump's comments aired Sunday on Fox. The most recent discussions between Japan and the U.S. were the two countries' seventh round of negotiations. Vehicles awaiting shipment parked at a port in Yokohama, Japan — Source: Getty In 2024, Japan's trade surplus with the U.S. stood at $59.3 billion, with vehicles and auto parts accounting for roughly 82% of the gap, according to Bloomberg. Japan's deficit with the U.S. is also the seventh-largest among Washington's trading partners. Tokyo's top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, believes the U.S.'s auto tariffs are unacceptable, given that Japan's auto industry has invested $60 billion in the U.S. economy and created 2.3 million local jobs. Trump also stated that countries charging tariffs of 35% or 40% on U.S. autos would receive the same treatment, up from 25%, Nikkei Asia reports. Analysts have expressed concerns about U.S. autos expanding their presence in Japan Japan doesn't impose any tariffs on vehicle imports, and the U.S. doesn't place tariffs on passenger cars imported into the U.S. through the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The previous U.S. tariff rate on vehicle imports outside of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement was 2.5%. Trump has blamed non-tariff barriers, such as strict fuel economy regulations, for preventing the U.S. from thriving in Japan's auto market. However, analysts have responded that adjusting to Japan's right-hand drive and narrow streets makes expanding in Japan unfeasible for American car manufacturers. Martin Schulz, chief policy economist at Fujitsu's Global Market Intelligence Unit, said: 'What we may see is a framework of an agreement before July 9 with the details filled in later,' according to the South China Morning Post.

Ryosei Akazawa, Tokyo's top trade negotiator — Source: Getty Final thoughts Trump recently confirmed that he's not planning on extending the July 9 deadline, placing Japan and many other countries under a significant time crunch to finalize deals. Instead of extending the deadline, Trump noted he'd rather send countries letters saying that negotiations are over, and that trading can continue if tariffs are paid. Trump said, 'I'm going to send letters. I could send one to Japan: 'Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars.'' About the Author Cody Carlson View Profile
