Gtech is offering a hefty discount of over 30% on its cordless hedge trimmer that users are saying makes gardening tasks 'effortless'. The Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can now be purchased for £149.99, down from £219.99, by using the discount code BX64.
This nifty saving of £70 is available until July 31, making it perfect timing for Brits wanting to spruce up their gardens in time for summer. It allows them to maintain a well-groomed garden without it feeling like hard work, as the cordless LHT50 is touted as Gtech's 'most effortless trimmer'.
It's designed for those fed up with battling with cables, heavy equipment and step ladders. It's described as being 'super light' and 'surprisingly powerful', boasting the same motor as the original model but a third lighter at 2.14kg.
The tool can reach up to 10ft and has seven adjustable head positions, with a 140 degree rotating blade enabling easier sculpting of every part of a hedge from the top, sides and base. The trimmer features an 'ultra-sharp' 315mm carbon steel blade capable of cutting even thicker hedges up to 14mm, while a safety switch can help prevent any unfortunate accidents.
This Gtech hedge trimmer boasts a cable-free design, yet it can operate for up to 60 minutes on a single charge of its detachable battery pack. The handy LED display indicates the remaining power, ensuring you're never left stranded, as reported by the Mirror.

The LHT50 trimmer is easily portable around any outdoor space, thanks to the included safety harness. This combined with an ergonomic design provides comfort during use, even for extended periods.
For gardeners tackling more extensive hedge work, the new Bosch Advanced Electric Hedge Trimmer, priced at £190 at Argos, can cut thicker branches up to 34mm, although it is not extendable. A more affordable option is the £170.99 Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Cordless Hedge Trimmer; however, the battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
The Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer has garnered an impressive 4.6-star rating from 838 reviews, with 777 of those being four or five stars. Buyers have praised it as 'easy to use' and 'perfect for any age group'.

One satisfied customer commented: "This is truly a lightweight hedge trimmer but with a heavy weight cutting action. I needed a lightweight trimmer to keep my daughter's hedge under control and the last one I used was very good but really hurt my back and arms. We had the hedge reduced in height but I found I still required a longer reach to cut the hedge as the width was still pretty large. This certainly fits the bill."
Someone else wrote: "This lightweight hedge trimmer is perfect for any age group or those who have difficulty handling a heavier model. No awkward cables to get in the way or accidentally cut through so it is much safer than one with an electric cable. The battery charges easily and gives plenty of power to cut even a long hedge. Also, as it extends, often no ladder is required."
Another user acknowledged some limitations of the cordless hedge trimmer, but overall rated it highly, saying: "Perfect for small jobs for most people. Cannot cut thick stems but does a good job. Very light to use and good battery life."
One five-star review highlighted the user-friendliness for older gardeners: "This lightweight hedge trimmer is easy to use and handle. I'm in my 70s and had no problem using it at full stretch."

"Fantastic, highly recommend this product especially if your priority is lightness," someone else penned. "I needed a hedge trimmer to replace a very heavy pole trimmer that is light yet could tackle a long holly hedge and a separate Leylandii hedge. This product is brilliant – very light but cut both hedges excellently. It also had a good charge life with two lights showing after one hour of use."
Geared towards those seeking efficiency and ease, the Gtech LHT50 Lightweight Hedge Trimmer is on sale for £149.99 when using the discount code BX64.

O2 confirms exact date of mobile network switch off but is your town affected?
The company has also upgraded coverage to 13,000 Scottish postcodes in some of our most remote locations The majority of Brits who own a mobile phone will rarely have to worry about losing signal or service. Technology has advanced so much that these problems are now considered a thing of the past; a distant memory. However, the UK's four mobile operators are currently shutting down the country's ageing 3G networks, and Virgin Media O2 has today issued the exact dates its customers in several towns could be affected by the switch-off. As the entity behind O2's mobile network operations, Virgin Media O2 is alerting its user base that the 3G network will cease operation in Norwich, Telford, and Guildford on July 16, followed by Torquay on August 4. The move is "part of longer-term plans to deliver faster and more reliable 4G and 5G connectivity for customers." They added: "3G services in those areas will be switched off in the coming weeks, and those who currently don't have a 4G or 5G device must upgrade to a compatible handset to retain access to mobile data services," said Virgin Media O2. O2 confirmed to the Record that further details for locations in Scotland haven't been confirmed yet, but the company has upgraded 4G and 5G coverage to 13,000 Scottish postcodes in some of our most remote locations. The upgrades extend to popular tourist centres, with 782 upgraded postcodes in Edinburgh and major improvements in coverage across the Highlands. On top of this, O2 has recently installed small cells in Perth, as well as switching on its next-generation 5G standalone network in Stirling. O2 has recently brought reliable connectivity to many unique Scottish tourist destinations that previously had none. These include Corrour Station, the UK's highest and most remote railway stop, famously featured in Trainspotting. Barra Airport, the only airport in the world with a scheduled beach runway and tidal timetable, and Loch Ossian Eco Hostel and Glen Affric Hostel, reachable only by foot or bike, have also benefited north of the border. "Scotland has always been one of the most beautiful and remote destinations in the UK but now it's better connected than ever before," said Dr Robert Joyce, Director of Mobile Access Engineering at O2. "Thanks to O2's Mobile Transformation Plan, whether they're hiking the Highlands, flying into Barra, or visiting a rural island, visitors can stay connected when and where it matters most." In the meantime, while Norwich, Telford, Guildford, and Torquay are next in line for disruption, O2 anticipates a complete termination of its 3G network by year's end. The nationwide switch-off is due to 3G networks becoming outdated and less utilised than before. Most smartphones available in the UK now support 4G, and many are also 5G-ready. Consequently, the O2 3G switch-off is unlikely to impact you if your smartphone is 4G or 5G capable. However, if you possess an older smartphone or a more basic mobile phone, it might only connect to 3G networks. Once 3G is completely phased out, you won't be able to use mobile data services on your device, rendering apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Google services inaccessible unless connected to Wi-Fi. "While the vast majority of customers will not need to take any action, the operator is directly contacting all customers across the UK who currently don't have a 4G or 5G device to provide support," Virgin Media O2 said. The company is offering "known vulnerable customers" a complimentary 4G device. Other customers lacking a 4G handset or SIM card will be presented with an option to purchase one "at a reduced price". "Customers can visit their local O2 store for further information and support, and they are also reminded they can use O2 Recycle to responsibly and sustainably dispose of their old handsets in exchange for cash," they added.

What is EU's hand luggage ban and how will it affect Brits?
Here's what we know about the possible change and how it could affect those travelling to Europe from the UK. What does EU hand luggage fee ban mean for Brits? Travel agency has shared insights from James Spalding, UK Head of Aviation, on how this change could affect customers. Hand luggage policies are different for each airline (Image: Getty) Hand luggage policies are different depending on the airline you fly with meaning those who don't travel often need to brush up on the rules before going away. James Spalding said: 'If the EU introduces a standard size and removes fees for small cabin bags, it could bring greater consistency across the board. That means fewer unexpected charges and a simpler way to compare fares between airlines. 'That said, it's unlikely airlines will absorb the cost entirely. It may be built into the base fare instead. While that could mean slightly higher upfront prices, many travellers will welcome the added transparency - knowing exactly what's included in the ticket from the outset.' The BBC added: 'Under the new rule, travellers would be allowed to bring one cabin bag measuring up to 100cm on board their flight, as well as an under-the-seat personal item with a maximum size of 40x30x15cm at no additional cost. 'The proposed law still requires approval from 55% of EU member states, but if adopted following negotiations starting in July 2025, the new rules would extend to all flights within the EU, as well as routes to and from the EU.' Your rights if your flight is cancelled or delayed How will the EU hand luggage fee ban affect prices? James explained: 'Over recent years, many European carriers have introduced fares without hand luggage to offer more flexibility and competitive entry-level pricing. 'If that option is removed, airlines may explore other ways to offer choice — for example, by introducing or expanding 'priority' options for early boarding or guaranteed cabin space. 'Cabin storage is always limited, especially on full flights. We already see some airlines asking passengers to check bags at the gate when overhead lockers are full. 'If more passengers bring similar-sized bags onboard under a single rule, it could lead to more operational changes and a bigger focus on how baggage is managed at boarding.' Do I need travel insurance? How can you get a good deal if prices go up? If prices rise, James says 'comparison is key.' Using platforms like will mean travellers can compare prices and 'see what's included in their fare - from cabin bags and checked luggage to seat selection.' Use search filters so you can select your preferences when booking your holiday so you can 'avoid unexpected costs at checkout' and find the flights and holiday deals that suit you. Will UK airlines ban hand luggage fees? Since the UK operates outside the EU now, you might be wondering how this hand luggage fee change could affect you and your holiday. James said: 'That's an interesting one. If the UK doesn't adopt the same rule, there could be a bit of a mismatch - especially on flights between the UK and the EU - with different policies for the outbound and return legs. That might cause some confusion for passengers and create complexity for airlines. Your passport is your most important travel document - it's worth taking your time to get right! Before submitting your application check: - your photo meets all requirements - all personal details are correct - supporting documents are ready - payment details are accurate — His Majesty's Passport Office (@HM_Passport) June 16, 2025 'To simplify things, some carriers may choose to align their policies across both EU and UK routes, even if it's not a formal requirement. We'll have to wait and see how the industry responds.' What are the hand luggage sizes for Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet and more? Each airline has different allowances for hand luggage, here's what we know. Ryanair's website says: "All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you." easyJet says passengers can bring one small cabin bag: Maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm (including any handles and wheels) Includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag, but please check dimensions Needs to fit under the seat in front of you Maximum weight 15kg. You need to be able to lift and carry the bag yourself Recommended reading: Jet2 says: "You can bring one piece of hand luggage onboard free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles." Here's what you're allowed to bring on board when flying with British Airways: 1 cabin bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 56×45×25cm (22 x 18 x 10in) 1 handbag or laptop bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 40×30×15cm (16 x 12 x 6in) Wizz Air allows two types of bags to be brought onboard, according to its website rules: Free carry-on bag Trolley bag (for WIZZ Priority holders) It allows everyone one small carry-on bag, which should be placed under the seat, maximum size: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, 10kg. Exceeding these dimensions will result in additional fees being charged. Passengers have the choice to upgrade their hand luggage allowance at an extra cost.

Freeview viewers at risk of TV blackout if they don't make this simple check
Freeview is expected to make some changes in the future, so Brits are being urged to make sure their TVs are ready. Freeview will be making a subtle change to how they share their programmes that users may want to be aware of. While the majority of people won't even notice that this switch up has taken place, others may be left confused as they stare at a blank screen. The free-to-view platform has decided that it will start showing its programmes through a new format. While this new technology should give users a better viewing experience, people with older televisions may want to take note as their device may not be ready for the change. The switch up will allow channels to use new audio and visual technology called MPEG-4 AVC video codec and HE-AAC audio codec, reports the Express. While this may seem overly complicated, it is more important that people understand its benefits. Essentially, this updated broadcast standard will use much less bandwidth without compromising the audio and visuals. Therefore, while using less bandwidth, freeview users shouldn't lose any picture or sound quality. This change also means that Freeview will have more space to launch other services on the platform, which could be more cost effective for the future of television service. The first channel to change to the new format is That's TV 3 (channel 71), which will only be showing programmes with the updated technology. To easily find out if your TV is ready for the update is to go to this channel and check whether you can see the shows or are left with a blank screen. Thankfully, only a small number of homes are expected to be affected by the update as the vast majority of modern TVs should be fully compatible with the new technology. However, the team at RXTV have said that broadcasters are hoping that the changes will go unnoticed and that hotlines won't be flooded with complaints as a result. If the changes to channel 71 are a success and only a tiny minority of homes experience issues, then it is expected that more channels will end up making the switch to the newer format in the future. Therefore, it is very important for freeview users to check this impacted channel to understand if they need to update their TV or not. This change is coming into effect as there are fewer people watching TV through terrestrial signals than there were in the past. As such, this update could help Freeview last longer in the current streaming climate and help cut costs. For those thinking about ditching their aerial or dish to move towards streaming, Sky has a few devices that will allow homes to access their favourite channels through the internet. The Sky Stream starts at £15 per month and will give users access to 100 paid-for channels that they wouldn't be able to access through Freeview. This device is easy to set up and connect to your current TV. Alternatively, shoppers can buy the tech brand's new Sky Glass Air television. While the deal starts at £6 per month, shoppers will also need to pay for the basic Essentials TV package that is priced at £15. This brings the price up to £21 per month. This TV comes with a 4k HDR Quantum Dot display, as well as Dolby audio and a sleek design. Available in 43", 55" and 65", this TV may be the perfect option for those looking to upgrade their device. However, for those who don't want to splash extra cash, Freely may be a more suitable option. Built-in to a variety of new TVs, this platform offers access to live TV as well as on demand shows and movies through a broadband connection. Owned by the same team that is behind Freeview, Freely comes with the added bonus of getting regular updates, new features and not being impacted by the weather. For those enticed by the sound of a Freely TV, Amazon is currently selling the Toshiba 43'4K Smart VIDAA TV for £259 which comes with Freely built-in. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Hisense 55-inch Smart 4K UHD HDR Mini LED Freely TV for their lowest price of £370. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
