Amazon Prime Day 2025: Key deals and dates to know
For small spaces that desperately need cooling in hot weather, Shark's FlexStyle hits the sweet spot. The multi-use model can be used wirelessly and outside, bringing cooling breezes to any part of the house, or indeed, a sweltering balcony. You can even attach a hose pipe to create a misting spray to refresh you on the hottest days,
The design turns a floor pedestal fan into a desk one, meaning you can use it on practically all surfaces and the battery life is impressive, going 24 hours on the lowest speed.
The most impressive feature? The noise - or rather, the lack of it. Even at top speed, you'd barely know this was on.
The only downside? The oscillation range which turns 90°. That said, stick it in a corner of the room or table and it will push cool breezes in all the right places.

Some people simply don't like having to vacuum their homes. Cleaning your space doesn't have to feel like such a chore, especially when there are robot vacuums that can do a much better job of frequently cleaning your space. One of Shark's robot vacuums is a staff-favorite in our robot vacuum guide, and one of its more advanced models, the Shark AI Ultra, is currently on sale for 50% off on Amazon. Deal of the day: Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum deal The Shark AI Ultra has many great features that make this current deal worth it. The AI Ultra has precision mapping, which quickly scans your home while avoiding objects and adapting to the layout of your rooms. It's also able to clean both hardwood floors and carpet. If you have a pet, the AI Ultra has powerful suction that easily gathers up your pet's hair, debris and dirt. The beauty of the Shark AI Ultra is that it can be controlled completely hands-free using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This allows you to set a schedule or wake the vacuum up to clean specific areas on a whim. If you also don't want to bother emptying the robot vacuum, it has a self-emptying base, which can hold up to 60 days of dirt.

Ditch your Dyson fan for ‘godsend' silent gadget that's £150 cheaper – it blows air from 20m away & doesn't need a plug
TEMPERATURES are expected to soar again across the UK which means it's time to gear up for summer heat. If you're looking for a solution to combat the hot weather, you might want to invest in a decent fan. 2 However, you don't need to dip into your savings and splurge on a Dyson fan. Shark has slashed the price on its FlexBreeze TableMate cordless fan which has been dubbed "better than Dyson". The compact fan has been reduced from £149.99 to just £99. It is a perfect transportable size, measuring 40cm tall and 35cm wide. It weighs only 3kg and has a handy carry handle that makes it easy to take with you anywhere you need. In addition, the fan is equipped for unpredictable British weather and humid conditions as it is waterproof and UV resistant. Despite its humble size, it packs a lot of power with five different speeds in addition to oscillation. According to Shark, the fan's breeze can be felt from 20 meters away. At the lowest speed setting, you can keep your bedroom cool overnight, as the FlexBreeze can run continuously for up to 24 hours. It also won't disturb your sleep as customers pointed out that it makes no noise and praised how "silent" it is. Amazon's $160 'powerful' home essential has shoppers in chokehold - it's nearly identical to Dyson but over 70% cheaper Shoppers are raving about the Shark product on Amazon giving it a 4.5 star rating. One person wrote: "Bought just in time for the latest hot spell. Kept me cool in the home office, kept me cool in the evening, and kept me cool overnight. "The fan has a battery charger, this means it will run for up to 24 hrs on single fan speed. Overnight a godsend, ran from 10pm till 6:45am on fan 2 and moving 45 degrees. Quiet as a mouse." Another added: "This fan is ingenious. How much money we all have wasted looking for a fan that was supposed to be silent. This pretty much concludes that quest. This fan is all I ever wanted." A third person said: "When Shark said it's silent, it's silent. Full stop. I only just unboxed it, but it does all it says on the tin, but better than all other fans. "My Dyson is going into the cupboard. It's well designed and looks and feels solid." If you want to splurge a little more and want a bigger version, The Sun has tested the FlexBreeze Pro Mist which retails for £219. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. 2

'Best cordless vacuum by far' with £100 off is leaving floors 'pristine'
Shoppers can bag a £100 saving on a Gtech cordless vacuum that's touted to 'easily' outperform rival models. The Gtech AirRAM Platinum Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum is now up for grabs at £269.99 when the discount code JT83 is used, and it comes with a Speed Clean Kit bundle. This slashes £100 off the usual £369.99 price tag, with the discount and Speed Clean Kit automatically added to your basket when you apply the code. Gtech is also knocking £120 off its 'powerful' Multi Platinum Cordless Handheld Vacuum, bringing it down from £269.99 to £149.99. Gtech promotes the AirRAM Platinum as 'taking the work out of housework', boasting easy manoeuvrability thanks to its dynamic steering and Forward Inertia Drive technology. This latter feature propels the vacuum forward, allowing it to glide effortlessly across both carpet and hard floors. In a bid to compete with Shark and Dyson, Gtech has incorporated its own version of anti-hair wrap technology, which prevents hair from getting tangled in the brush head, making it perfect for pet owners. The vacuum cleaner also features a single suction setting to deliver maximum power, eliminating the need to fiddle with different settings mid-clean. This pairs with Gtech's AirLOC technology to remove tough embedded hair and fine dust that 'no other vacuum can'. Other standout features include LED headlights in the brushhead to illuminate hard-to-see dust and a long-lasting battery that can run for one hour without loss of suction, reports the Mirror. Gtech AirRAM Platinum Get £100 off the Gtech AirRAM Platinum Save £100 on the Gtech AirRAM Platinum Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum and get a free Speed Clean Kit bundle with the voucher code JT83. £269.99 Gtech Get the deal here While the vacuum's 0.8L dustbin might be on the smaller side compared to competitors, it boasts a feature that compresses dirt, meaning you won't have to empty it as frequently. The AirRAM Platinum also comes with a Speed Cleaning Kit and a detachable duster, transforming it into a handheld device perfect for tackling stairs, upholstery, and those hard-to-reach nooks around your home. In comparison, Samsung is marketing its Samsung Jet 85 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, complete with a pet tool, at £479, along with several accessories. This model has earned a commendable 4.5 out of five in customer reviews. Or Miele offers the Duoflex HX1 Cat and Dog for £329, directly from their site, which represents a saving of £120 and carries a solid 4.2-star rating. Yet, the Gtech AirRAM Platinum stands out with an impressive 4.8-star rating from over 3,500 reviews. A satisfied buyer enthused: "Exceeds expectations in all areas, easily bettering our Shark vacuum. The [AirLOC] feature leaves the carpets pristine and the design of the product means even edges get cleaned, which our previous Shark and Dyson couldn't manage. Overall, the Gtech is fantastic." One individual praised: "Best cordless vacuum by far. Power is excellent at one-hour battery time [while] suction and pickup are amazing. I'm in a two bedroom flat and have vacuumed almost daily for the last two weeks and the battery hasn't gone down. I find it a lot quieter than my three-year-old Gtech and it feels lighter to use. Storage is simple – it sits in a corner of my bedroom, ready for use. I love it." Despite acknowledging the AirRAM Platinum as a 'good vacuum', this four-star review stated: "Bit unpleasant to see the dust accumulating in the machine unlike our old AirRAM." However, another satisfied customer exclaimed: "Fantastic. Nice and compact for storage. Great suction with the [AirLOC] system, has fantastic power and gives an extremely thorough clean. Great for picking up small bits of fluff and long hair embedded in carpet. Holds charge well. Extremely pleased, would always choose Gtech."
