Beat the heatwave with bestselling garden pool now just £21 in Amazon sale
With summer heat coming in fast, a reliable and affordable garden pool is the perfect solution to keep cool without leaving home. The Intex 6ft x 20in Easy Set Swimming Pool is one of the best-rated inflatable pools on the market, and now it's even better value.
Currently available on Amazon for £20.99 - down 18 per cent from its original £25.66 - this model has racked up over 36,800 reviews with an impressive 4.2-star rating. It's also the number one best seller in inflatable pools, and for good reason.
This particular version of the Easy Set Pool measures 183cm x 51cm, with a water capacity of 886 litres, making it ideal for kids and adults alike. Setup is quick: only the top ring needs inflating, and as it fills, the pool builds itself.
With three-layered sidewalls, a drain plug for easy emptying, and sturdy materials, it's designed to be a step up from standard paddling pools. Other sizes are also available, ranging from 244cm x 76cm up to a massive 457cm x 122cm.
Those after alternatives may also consider the Benross Sun Club Rectangular Pool, currently £24.99 with a 4.1-star rating, or the Bestway Rectangular 7ft Paddling Pool, available for £20 at Argos.
But for many, Intex's pool stands out for both build and performance. One satisfied buyer called it a 'fantastic pool'.
They added: 'I was sick of paddling pools which puncture when you look at them. This one is so much better, big enough for 2 lilos, 2 adults and a child to splash around in.'

Product Description
They noted it took six hours to fill, but they plan to keep it up all summer, saying: 'If I can keep the water clean, then it's probably less waste than refilling a flimsy pool every few days.'
Not all buyers were as pleased, though. One reviewer said: 'We've had two of these 6ft pools and on both, the ring didn't inflate completely.'
Despite using both a manual and electric pump, they found the top ring stayed limp. 'It functions,' they admitted, 'but we'll go for a non-inflatable pool in future.'
Still, others found it made an excellent staycation substitute. One wrote, 'I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain… If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it can be convincing.'
They inflated the pool by mouth and said it 'filled in less than two hours'. The kids loved it, even if their splashing interrupted the parent's wine-time.
However, another user had a more unconventional use. 'I bought this pool purposely to put my 5 large koi carp in while fitting a new pond liner.'

Though the pool 'did the job,' they had issues inflating it evenly and said the plugs leaked slowly over decking. They concluded: 'I wouldn't say don't buy it, but I'm not sure how long it would stay inflated for a summer garden pool.'
Despite the mixed feedback, the general consensus remains strongly in favour. One reviewer summed it up simply: 'Excellent pool and well worth the money. Bigger than expected, but not complaining at all.'
Whether used for swimming, lounging, or even housing fish (temporarily), the Intex Easy Set Pool continues to win over thousands with its ease and value.

Wall Street CEOs admit the reality for American jobs
By The dam is breaking. In a terrifying admission that signals a seismic change in corporate America, the CEO of one of the biggest carmakers in the US has broken cover to admit the devastating effects AI will have on the workforce. While some execs have attempted vague assurances for American workers, Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley has predicted the rise of AI will take a sledgehammer to jobs. 'Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.,' Farley told author Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week. 'AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind.' Bosses have been cautious about publicly admitting the reality of how many jobs could be cut from their companies as a result of AI. That tide appears to be turning however, and Farley's comments are among the most transparent. It comes after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced brutal workforce cuts late last month as the company continues to implement AI in its operations. While AI's impact will not be uniform, it is likely to affect administrative jobs that are automatable, such as data entry and processing, telemarketing, customer service, scheduling and manufacturing assembly lines. Jassy said he plans to reduce the company's corporate workforce over the next few years as the tech will make certain roles redundant. He told employees in a note seen by the Wall Street Journal that AI was a once-in-a-lifetime technological advancement and it has already transformed how Amazon operates. The sentiment was echoed by the CEO of Anthropic, who recently warned AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Dario Amodei called on other business leaders to stop 'sugarcoating' the truth and to prepare for the fact that US unemployment could rise to between 10 and 20 percent. Some have taken up the call, including Micha Kaufman, CEO of the freelance marketplace Fiverr, who told staff that they will have to accept that AI will change their jobs and the business itself. 'This is a wake-up call,' he wrote in a memo. 'It does not matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer support rep, salesperson, or a finance person — AI is coming for you.' Shopify recently announced that it would not be making any new hires unless managers first proved that the job could not be done by AI. Marianne Lake, head of JPMorgan Chase's consumer and community business arm, told investors in May that she expected to shed 10 percent of her staff in the next few years and replace them with AI tools. 'We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace,' Microsoft said in a statement. Last month Procter & Gamble, which makes diapers, laundry detergent, and other household items, announced it would cut 7,000 jobs , or about 15 percent of non-manufacturing roles. In a change of fortunes, blue collar jobs appear to be more protected while college graduates with white-collar jobs in tech, finance, law, and consulting are taking the hit. Entry-level jobs are vanishing the fastest — stoking fears of recession and a generation of disillusioned graduates left stranded with CVs no one wants. College grads are now much more likely to be unemployed than others, official data shows.

Lenor is often celebrated for its sweet and comforting notes, and this 480-wash mega pack comprises eight bottles, each containing 840ml of ultra-concentrated fabric conditioner, providing months of fresh-smelling laundry. With each bottle offering up to 60 washes, this bundle delivers a total of 6.72 litres – more than enough to keep your laundry smelling amazing for months, as only a tablespoon's worth of softener is needed per wash. Lenor's fabric conditioner is scientifically formulated with SolarDry™ technology, designed to replicate the freshness of outdoor drying, even if you don't have access to outdoor space or need to dry your laundry indoors. This means you can enjoy that 'line-dried' fresh scent all year round, regardless of the weather, without worrying about the musty odour often associated with indoor drying. Its built-in odour defence helps protect against the build-up of unpleasant smells and instead leaves an intense, lingering floral scent. The mega pack, reduced to £23.80, is available in the scent 'Floral Fresh'; however, two other scents are also on offer – 'Summer Breeze' and 'Spring Awakening'. 2 Lenor Outdoorable Fabric Conditioner 480 Washes (8x60), Floral Fresh, £40 £23.80 BUY ON AMAZON Spring Awakening offers a crisp and clean aroma for revitalising your laundry experience, while Summer Breeze features fruity undertones with creamy sandalwood notes. Shoppers have been raving about Lenor Outdoorable, with many declaring it the 'best fabric conditioner' they've ever used. One happy household praised the strength of the scent, saying, 'It lasts a very long time on clothing, and I've had so many compliments on how my clothes smell fresh. People always ask me what I use.' Others spoke on its gentle formula, noting, 'We are a household with sensitive skin and, so far, no issues,' while another remarked, 'We are all super sensitive to laundry products, but this one suits the entire family.' With its long-lasting fragrance and a little going a very long way, this household essential is certainly a deal not to be missed. At just £23 for 480 washes, it's no wonder the fragrant fabric softener is flying off the virtual shelves, so if you're looking to elevate your laundry game, don't miss out on this incredible offer.

Wall Street CEOs finally say the quiet part out loud as they admit apocalyptic reality for American workers: 'Literally half'
