Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cordless
Vacuum Cleaner £299 (was £379.99)
A vacuum cleaner is a household essential that most of us own, but not all are built the same.
After years of use, your machine can become less effective at sucking up dirt and hair, plus the technology gets out of date compared to newer launches.
One of the most popular features when buying a new vacuum is the option to use it cordless, which the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is ideal for.
It also transforms into a handheld model, so you can use it on stairs and to clean furniture.
The vacuum cleaner has a significant run-time of 60 minutes, so unless you're vacuuming for over an hour, you should be able to finish up without needing to re-charge the battery.
The benefit of cordless vacuums is that they're not only easier to manouevre, but they're usually lighter and more compact for storage too.
The V10 Absolute Cordless is also discounted at Dyson right now, however it's still slightly cheaper at Appliances Direct.
Several different small attachments are included, plus two separate heads - one to tackle ground-in dirt and hair on carpet, and one to remove dust and debris from hard flooring.
For storage and charging, there's a docking station that mounts onto the wall, making the vacuum cleaner easy to reach when you need it.
If you hate the chore of emptying the bin, it doesn't get much easier than this, because you can simply push a button to empty the vacuum cleaner, without having to touch anything.
Lots of shoppers vouch for the vacuum cleaner in the reviews on Dyson's website, with one saying: ''Very Happy.''
''Light to use and picks up dog hairs wonderfully!!''
Another shopper added: ''We have had it for a few weeks now and so far we love it - the power and performance is excellent and the suction and filtration system is brilliant.''
''Also the Battery life is perfect.''
A third shopper added: ''It is absolutely amazing, lightweight, easy to set up and comes with all the accessories you need to keep your house clean.''
''Super efficient for pets and their loose hair.''
If you're still wanting to compare the best cordless vacuum cleaners to find the right one for you, The Sun Shopping round-up includes Shark, Dyson and Vax.

Help! I need a small, nimble first car for £7,000
Dear Auto Express, I need a first car that's small, nimble and easy to drive. My budget is £7,000. What can I get that's safe and relatively modern? - Jamie Fern, E-mail Passing your practical driving test is a significant moment for anybody. Once you're torn up your L-plates, the only barrier between you and a new level of freedom is finding your first car. Advertisement - Article continues below Of course, being a newly qualified driver, you'll probably be on the lookout for something which is small enough to help you to gain confidence when navigating narrow streets or tight carparks, while also being cheap to insure and run. Typically, the Citroen C1 has ruled the roost among new drivers. If you aren't drawn by its cute styling, you might be convinced by its dependable three-cylinder engine, which it shares with its Toyota Aygo relative. It's not the most sumptuous city car, but some colourful personalisation options do spice up the cabin. The SEAT Mii is the Spanish brand's twist on the Volkswagen up!, making it by default one of the most complete small cars you can buy. It boasts great build quality, grown-up handling and a surprisingly spacious cabin. The styling might be too conservative for some, though. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below The same can't be said for the quirky Renault Twingo. Being rear-engined and rear-wheel drive, the French city car is the reverse of its two competitors here, and this layout gives the Twingo fantastic manoeuvrability in cities. Here's our expert pick for three of the best first cars available for £7,000, together with links to buy them through our Find a Car service… For: Solid build, slick dynamics, roomy Solid build, slick dynamics, roomy Against: Plain design, fiddly parcel shelf Advertisement - Article continues below Stubby dimensions, short overhangs and clean detailing give the SEAT Mii a pleasant if not distinctive look. From behind the wheel, the Mii is hard to beat. It shares a platform with the Volkswagen up! so the handling is crisp and it's surprisingly enjoyable to drive. The ride is supple, too, and wind and tyre noise are well suppressed for this class of car. The most powerful 74bhp version offers solid performance for town driving and the three-cylinder engine feels peppy enough. A 60,000-mile 2019 Mii falls well within budget. None of these models is especially plush inside, but the SEAT gets closest to providing the feel of a bigger class of car. The dashboard layout is user-friendly, the switchgear is sturdy and the hard plastics feel durable rather than terribly cheap. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below The Mii is also surprisingly spacious, with more accommodating rear seats than the Citroen and a respectable 251-litre boot. Lower-spec SE models are equipped with alloy wheels, electric front windows, air-conditioning and a leather steering wheel as standard. A DAB radio can also be specified, along with a dashboard-mounted navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity. See our used SEAT Mii deals For: Tight turning circle, rear seat space, robust interior Tight turning circle, rear seat space, robust interior Against: Vague steering, small boot Advertisement - Article continues below With its engine over the rear axle and powering the rear wheels, the Twingo's set-up is closer to a Porsche 911 than it is to most other hatches or city cars. The design is unique, with rounded surfaces, tiny overhangs and a sloping glass tailgate. By relocating the engine and freeing up space at the front of the car, the Renault Twingo has a turning circle to rival a London Taxi. There's lots of body roll and the Renault tends to fidget over bumpy roads, but although wind noise builds at higher speeds, it's comfy enough. You can get a 2016 Renault Twingo with 20,000-miles on the clock for under £7,000. Renault added splashes of colour inside the Twingo to lift the ambience, with coloured accents on the steering wheel and air vents. It may not be as well screwed together as the SEAT, but the cabin feels solid and durable on the whole. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Visibility is great, too, and standard equipment includes a DAB radio, Bluetooth and a USB connection. The standard stereo is a six-speaker set-up, but some models also feature a subwoofer for punchier sound. There's plenty of space in the rear, even for four adults, although the rear-engined Twingo has the smallest boot in this company, at a mere 188 litres. Advertisement - Article continues below See our used Renault Twingo deals For: Distinctive looks, easy to drive, affordable Distinctive looks, easy to drive, affordable Against: Cheap interior, tight rear seats Closely related to the Toyota Aygo, the Citroen C1 uses that car's running gear. However, while it does its best to maximise the space inside, and has a glass rear hatch that makes it look more distinctive than the SEAT, the driving experience isn't quite on the same level. Its 1.0-litre three-cylinder motor is shared with the Aygo, and can feel out of its depth on a motorway, because it's short of punch even compared with its rivals here. It's fine around town, though, and the C1 is very easy to drive, with light controls. For £7,000, you can bag a 2018 Citroen C1 that's covered 26,000 miles. Like Renault, Citroen offers a variety of coloured panels and trims to add a dash of personalisation to the cabin of its city car. However, material quality isn't up to the best in the class, and the layout of the controls isn't as intuitive as the SEAT's interior. Still, all versions offered for sale other than the entry-level C1 Touch received a seven-inch touchscreen that's equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the higher-grade models; this is useful because the standard interface isn't particularly slick compared with its rivals'. Unfortunately, while the C1's boot is bigger than the Twingo's, the rear seats are very tight for taller adults to squeeze into. Those approaching six feet tall will be short on head and legroom.

Musk launches AI girlfriend available to 12-year-olds
A girlfriend chatbot launched by Elon Musk's tech group is available to 12-year-olds despite being programmed to engage in sexual conversation. The bot named Ani, launched by Mr Musk's artificial intelligence group xAI, is a cartoon girlfriend programmed to act as a 22-year-old and 'go full literotica' in conversations with users. Users found that the blonde, gothic character has an 'NSFW' mode – internet slang for 'not safe for work' – and can appear dressed in lingerie after a certain number of conversations upgrades the bot to 'level three'. The bot speaks in a sultry computer-generated voice and is designed to act as if it is 'crazy in love' and 'extremely jealous', according to programming instructions posted on social media. Its avatar can spin around or dance on command, and the bot regularly initiates sexual conversations. The Ani chatbot features inside the Grok app, which is listed on the App Store as being available to users who are 12 and older, and has been made available to users of its free service. The controversy comes as Ofcom prepares to enforce age-checking rules on tech companies that show adult or harmful content. Ofcom will require all sites hosting adult material to have age checks from next week, forcing porn websites and certain social networks to make changes. Reddit this week said it would introduce age checks. Radicalisation fears The Government has not yet said how the online safety rules should apply to chatbots – despite campaigners warning that growing numbers of children are using the apps for companionship. Research this week found that children are regularly using AI bots as friends. One in eight children said they use the bots because they have nobody else to speak to. This week, the independent reviewer of terror legislation warned that sex chatbots could put lonely internet users on the path to radicalisation. Jonathan Hall KC warned that 'the popularity of sex-chatbots is a warning that terrorist chatbots could provide a new radicalisation dynamic', pointing to the case of Jaswant Singh Chail, the Windsor Castle crossbow attacker who had talked to his AI girlfriend about plotting the attack. Grok's terms of service say that its minimum age should be 13 and that teenagers under 18 should receive permission from a parent before using the app, but signing up for the service does not involve verifying ages. Grok is listed on the App Store with a '12+' age rating, the Platformer newsletter found. Apps related to dating or violent video games can be listed as 17+. The Grok AI bot has suffered a series of controversies in recent weeks after it was found to spout anti-Semitic remarks. It was also found to look up Mr Musk's own opinions before answering on controversial topics. xAI says both issues have been fixed. Ofcom said: 'We are aware of the increasing and fast-developing risk AI poses in the online space, especially to children, and we are working to ensure platforms put appropriate safeguards in place to mitigate these risks.'

Car dealers told to suspend sales of used Citroen cars impacted by urgent 'stop-drive' airbag recall
Car dealers have been told to halt sales of second-hand Citroens awaiting an urgent recall to replace potentially lethal airbags. Last month, the French manufacturer's parent company Stellantis issued a Europe-wide 'stop-drive' order for C3 and DS3 cars produced between 2009 and 2019 until their airbags have been replaced. It came after a French woman in June was killed when the airbag was deployed during a crash and sent metal fragments into her face causing fatal injuries. While tens of thousands of owners in Britain have been forced to park-up their motors on the orders from Stellantis, last week we revealed many of these cars were still being listed for sale across the UK with no mention of the 'stop-drive' notice being in action. As such, buyers could have been driving away in potentially dangerous motors while also invalidating their insurance. It has now emerged that a team of motor trade lawyers has issued a nationwide warning to used car dealers to suspend sales of vehicles in stock - and they could be stuck with these unsellable Citroens for months due to long delays getting them fixed. Car dealers up and down the country have been told by motor trade lawyers to halt sales of second-hand Citroen C3s awaiting an urgent recall to replace their potentially lethal airbags Some 120,000 owners are believed to be impacted by the stop-drive order, which was issued in Britain on 20 June,. Drivers of second-generation Citroen C3 and Mk1 DS3 hot hatches produced between 2009 and 2019 have been sent letters telling them to immediately stop using them over safety concerns for the original Takata airbags installed. Owners have been told to book their vehicles in to be rectified as early as possible and to not drive them in the meantime. However, a study by Which? last week revealed that hundreds of these cars were listed for sale on major used vehicle websites with no information that the manufacturer had issued a stop-drive notice. Owners have been voicing complaints about the long wait times given by Citroen dealers to have their cars fixed, with Stellantis acknowledging that its customer care team and dealers 'have been overwhelmed' by the volume of requests for recall bookings. And these delays are likely to hit dealers even harder, industry insiders have warned. This is because private owners are likely to be prioritised over the motor trade, meaning dealers could be stuck with unsellable Citroen models until 2026. Affected cars being sold at auctions are currently being handed over to buyers with stickers telling trade buyers 'not to drive them'. And following Which?'s investigation last week, Auto Trader now flags adverts on its site if cars have the outstanding recall notice, with around 1,000 of these motors listed on the platform. Lawgistics solicitor Nina Bowkis told trade magazine Car Dealer that the situation has been further complicated by the fact the affected cars will pass an MOT with this safety recall in place. She said: 'Any used car dealer with one of these vehicles to sell would be best advised to wait until the vehicle is fixed or sell it as an unroadworthy vehicle.' Under section 75 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, a motor vehicle is considered unroadworthy if its use on the road would be unlawful due to issues with its construction, equipment, or if it poses a danger of injury to any person, which would include a safety recall notice or stop-drive order. 'This is why we have separate invoices for spares and repairs via which unroadworthy vehicles can be sold to people whom dealers have made fully aware that the vehicle cannot be used on the road if and until it's fixed,' Bowkis added. Selling a car with an outstanding safety recall also a breach of consumer law Any motor dealer selling a car that has an outstanding safety recall is likely in breach of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (GPSR). This is based on an interpretation by the DVSA that states that 'a product with an outstanding safety recall should not be passed to a consumer'. It also says that the law does not distinguish between new and used products; so, businesses selling used cars are equally responsible as those who sell new models. But while GPSR likely covers anyone who purchases one of these cars from a dealer, there is no legal protection for those who buy from private sellers. In this instance, the new keeper is solely responsible for checking if an outstanding recall notice is in place for their vehicle – not the vendor. Failing to check if there is an outstanding recall can land new owners in hot water. For instance, if a fault linked to a safety recall causes a crash, the driver's insurance policy could be invalidated. The DVSA also points out that if police find you at the wheel of a car with a major safety recall, you can be 'fined up to £2,500, be banned from driving and get three penalty points for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition. The Association of British Insurers says: 'You should always let your insurer know if your car has been recalled and follow the guidance that it gives you.' Car buyers who purchase a Citroen C3 with the outstanding airbag recall can be protected by general product safety laws... but those who buy from a private seller don't get that benefit How to find out if your Citroen is affected? Owners can check whether their motor has the outstanding airbag recall notice in place. They can do so by entering the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the recall page of the Citroen UK website. The VIN can be found on the V5 registration document for the car. Owners of Citroens with an outstanding recall alert must register their vehicle for a repair as soon as possible either online or by calling the company's recall helpline on 0800 917 9285, or by phoning Citroen customer care on 0800 093 9393. What is the Takata airbag scandal? The Takata airbag recall is by far the world's biggest vehicle call back of all time, as well as the largest-scale safety recall the automotive sector has ever seen. Potential faults were first raised in 2006, however, the first recall wasn't initiated until 2014. Approximately 100 million cars sold by a variety of brands – including BMW, Honda and Jaguar Land Rover - have been affected globally. Hugo Griffiths, a motoring expert who covered the scandal since it first emerged, told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours show last week: 'So very briefly, how airbags work, is there a metal tube that is filled with explosive, when a collision is detected an electronic signal goes to that explosive which shoots out the end of the metal tube and the gases inflate the airbags. And it works 99.9 per cent of the time perfectly. 'Takata used an explosive called ammonium nitrate. Believe it or not, it is the same stuff Timothy McVeigh used in the Oklahoma City bomb. 'Nobody else had used that before in airbags and it was used in tablet form but if moisture gets in the tablet degrades into powder. 'If that happens, you get an unstable, uncontrolled explosion, and if that happens than rather than shooting out the end of the metal tube and inflating the airbag, the metal tube itself can explode basically sending shrapnel into people's necks, faces or torsos.
