Here's how you can get the Dyson V8 at its lowest recorded price for EOFY
Despite its age, Dyson's V8 cordless vacuum cleaner is still a seriously effective and innovative model. It doesn't boast any dust-spotting optic lights like the Dyson Gen5Detect, but it does provide up to 40 minutes of fade-free power on a full charge, and I think that simple approach is refreshing these days. Better yet, it's now available at the discounted price of AU$799 AU$357 on Amazon, which is pretty great when you consider this version comes with a motorbar cleaner head, combination tool, docking station, hair screw tool, charger and crevice tool. That said, there's a sweeter deal for eBay Plus members! Grab the V8 from the Dyson Australia eBay store and punch in the code PLUSSS for an extra AU$30 off. That brings the price down to an all-time low of AU$327 — AU$2 cheaper than its previous lowest price back in December. If you're not already an eBay Plus member, you can still snag this deal by signing up to the service's 30-day free trial. You even the choice to cancel your subscription at any time, should you choose to do so. It may not be the newest model around, but Dyson's V8 was seen as a game-changing product at the time of its release, and it's still pretty great now. Expect up to 40 minutes of fade-free power from a full charge. Includes motorbar cleaner head, combination tool, docking station, hair screw tool, charger and crevice tool. It's currently discounted to AU$357 on Amazon, however, eBay Plus members who purchase the V8 from the Dyson Australia eBay store can score an additional AU$30 off when they use the code PLUSSS, bringing the V8 down to its all-time low price of AU$327.

That brings its price down to just AU$1,299 AU$549! If you're looking for additional power and longer suction time, the Dyson V10 Absolute might be a better choice for you than the aforementioned V8.

Hay fever sufferers urged to do one simple thing to beat grim symptoms
For hay fever sufferers, warm months can mean misery, but the latest gadgets could be your new best friend in the fight against allergies and it's often a satisfying solution that's overlooked Hay fever season is in full swing, with more than 10 million people across the UK suffering from the pesky pollen allergy. Symptoms vary from a runny or blocked nose to itchy, red or watery eyes, fatigue and frequent sneezing. Symptoms are often worse from late March to September, particularly during warm, humid and windy conditions when the pollen count is at its peak. There is no cure for hay fever, but treatments are available to help manage symptoms and there's one must-do that can help and it's over overlooked. Electronic devices such as air purifiers, fans and even vacuum cleaners, can help to manage hay fever from the comfort of your home. Dr Mohamed Najjar of Jorja Healthcare Group explains, 'There are a number of ways that technology can help. For example, air purifiers can help reduce airborne particles, providing some relief. 'There are also devices called air quality monitors. While they don't clean the air, they alert you to problems, such as local pollen data, and some are available on smartphone apps. These indicate the levels of different types of pollen in the area by giving them a score. Some people find this useful in helping to identify the type of pollen they are allergic to.' Katie Lilywhite, air treatment expert at says, 'Pollen is a nuisance for anyone with hay fever, but simple steps can be taken to reduce its impact. Home comfort can be improved significantly simply by cleaning and ventilating your house to remove any unwanted particles.

Investing in a dehumidifier can reduce the moisture in the air, meaning the air feels fresher inside your home.' We take a closer look at the ways tech can help you combat summer sniffling. Air purifier with HEPA filter Alex Hudson, environmental care engineer at Dyson, advises using an air purifier, such as the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1. He says, 'Using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can help remove pollen allergens from the air, reducing symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose.' Antihistamines and nasal sprays Professor John Dickinson, head of the Exercise Respiratory Clinic, University of Kent, advises that over-the-counter remedies ought to be your first stop in tackling hay fever symptoms. He says, 'Antihistamines and nasal sprays directly target allergic inflammation and are clinically proven to relieve symptoms.' An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device can also help remove mucus from the airway. Filtered hoover Your vacuum can help combat symptoms, too. Alex says, 'The Dyson Gen5 Detect features whole-machine HEPA filtration that captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander and mould spores. This means allergens that are picked up stay locked inside the vacuum and are not released back into the air.' POWERbreathe Hay fever can cause inflammation in your airways, making breathing more difficult, particularly if you also suffer from asthma or a mild respiratory condition. However, John says that using resistance based apparatus can make a difference. 'Devices like POWERbreathe, which are popular among athletes and elite footballers, can help strengthen your breathing muscles and reduce breathlessness during flare-ups, even if you have asthma,' he says. Multitasking fan Staying cool at night with a fan is a priority for a restful night's sleep in the summer, but it can also help with hay fever symptoms.

Dyson who? The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is the final boss of vacuum cleaners
I hate cleaning. That's it — that's the article. I hate cleaning. So when I say that a vacuum cleaner makes me want to get up and start going ham on my carpets, you know it's serious. Finding the best vacuum cleaner can be as tedious as the act of cleaning itself. Personally? Cleaning is like my own personal hell. Every weekend I fill up my phone's Notes app with endless lists of cleaning tasks, and every weekend I wipe frustrated tears from my eyes as I tick off "Dust TV stand" and "Vacuum behind refrigerator". But not with the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. I got this vacuum in for review last week, and, ohmygosh, it's the best vacuum I've ever used. I was actually desperate for my apartment to grow a thick layer of dust so I could get the satisfaction of cleaning it all up. And I'll tell you why it's the best vacuum I've ever used. At just $899 currently, the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is even better value than it was before. This sale price of $899 means the Bespoke Jet AI is cheaper than the Dyson Gen5Detect, which has an RPM of 135,000 compared to the Samsung's 1480,000. Yes, really. Samsung's pretty wild claim that the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra vacuum is "the most powerful stick vacuum in the world" is, in my opinion, true. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra has a max RPM of 148,000, which is 13,000 faster than the strongest-suction vacuum I've ever used, the Dyson Gen5Detect. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra also has a "HexaJet Motor" which means it can reach powers of up to 400W during usage. In real terms, this means it's an incredibly powerful vacuum. Most sticks have three power modes: 'auto', 'min', and 'max'. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra has five: 'AI', 'min', 'mid', 'max' and 'jet'. Jet is exactly what you think it is: it was able to clean trodden-in hair from my thick-pile rug (using the Pet Tool attachment I'll chat about later) in just a few seconds. While AI mode is only available with the Slim LED Brush or the Active Dual Brush, but I didn't find that negatively affected my usage at all. AI mode is kind of eco mode: it analyzes the floor and mess to reduce the power and save battery. But I know your interested was piqued with that Pet Tool attachment, so I'll get into all the cleaning tools now. I've tested vacuums before that have impressed me effortlessly, but I couldn't award them more than 4 stars as they weren't versatile enough to be a household's sole vacuum. The Gtech AirRAM 3 was one of those vacuums — incredibly powerful, but just not innovative enough to justify the cost. Thankfully, the $1,099 Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is as versatile as they come. The vacuum has a huge range of attachments: Pet Tool, Active Dual Brush, Slim LED Brush, and the usual range of handheld tools, plus a flex attachment. It's almost impossible to maintain cleanliness without a handheld vacuum. I don't know how I ever lived without one. For tasks like cleaning stairs, behind the sink in the bathroom, around the fridge, and baseboards, no other product can come close to using a handheld vac. Not only does it require the least amount of elbow grease, it's also faster than wiping with a cloth. If you want a stick-handheld vac combo but the $1,099 Samsung is too pricey, then I recommend the Ultenic U12 Vesla — I still have this vacuum and it's working perfectly almost a year after I got it. Like the best parts of a stick vacuum and a robot vacuum, the Samsung Bespoke AI Ultra vacuum has a self-cleaning station. While the vacuum itself has a dustbin of just 16 ounces, this isn't a problem as the cleaning station itself boasts an incredible 70 ounces. I didn't need to empty this once during my 10-day testing period. With the Samsung Smart Things app, you can even control the dustbin emptying from your phone. Drum roll, please, another wild Samsung claim incoming: you can receive phone calls to the Bespoke Jet AI vacuum. I couldn't test this as I have an iPhone, but Samsung cellphone users, could this persuade you into getting a Samsung-branded vacuum, too? Imagine answering calls from the doctor or your kid's teacher from the vacuum. ("Hello?" ... "Vvvshhhh!") I joke — answering phone calls on my vacuum is literally the bottom of my vacuum cleaner priorities. It's a good thing, then, that the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI actually does do everything that would be a priority. The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra vacuum has incredible cleaning capabilities, is super lightweight, and beyond easy to use. If I could only have one vacuum for the rest of my life, it would be this Samsung right here. And now that it's on sale for just $899, it rivals every vacuum on the market at the moment.
