Best Bosch washing machines to upgrade your laundry
Best for: medium capacity Leapfrogging Series 4 to settle on Series 6, here we up our capacity game to a fulsome 9kg of dirty kit, making the WGG244ZCGB the ideal Bosch washer option for medium-sized mucky families. Operating at a – relative to washing machines – whisper-like 71dB, this class 'A' for energy efficiency rated revolver features an EcoSilence Drive that, as the name suggests, is both 'eco' and 'silent' thanks to a brushless motor which not only cuts down on all the clanging but also reduces leccy consumption while extending the lifespan of the machine in general. With 14 featured programmes covering the same essential cycles as the Series 2 above, also on offer here is a Sportswear programme, Cold Wash option, and Automatic Stain Removal, and a very handy Iron Assist that, as the name suggests, keeps things as crease-free as possible to save you time slaving over a hot board. And for those in a hurry, the Series 6 comes with a quartet of speed options, comprised of VarioSpeed, Super Quick Wash, super15, and Speed Perfect, this latter function allowing you to wash up to 4kg with most programmes, while cutting cycle time by up to 65 per cent, without compromising on the clean. Packing a lot of top tech, the Series 6 WGG244ZCGB also eschews any form of smart app connectivity, favouring a self-explanatory selector dial and a nicely sharp LED display to keep you in the laundry loop. And the icing on the aesthetic cake, it comes finished in a resplendent 'Graphite' that lends an extra slice of style to the most modern of kitchens.

Clarkson's Farm viewers issue same complaint moments into new season
Prime Video has dropped the first four episodes of the new series of Clarkson's Farm - but some fans are struggling to get through the episodes due to one reason Jeremy and the gang are back as Prime Video released the first four episodes of the new series of Clarkson's Farm today. The series comes with a number of changes, including a new arrival and the absence of Kaleb Cooper. Fans have been looking forward to the release ever since it was announced earlier in the year - however, many have 'threatened to switch off' as they issue the same complaint as one pesky little thing keeps getting in the way while they're trying to watch. Many fans binged the whole four episodes as soon as they dropped on the streamer, and they'll now have to wait until next week for the next episode. However, it looks like some may not even get that far - as the adverts are really grinding their gears. One angry fan wrote: "The amount of ads on #clarksonsfarm takes the p**s i see you amazon, as another agreed: "A damn commercial every 15 minutes it's constantly breaking up the flow of the show at the worst times." A third disappointed fan who's had enough said: "I can (begrudgingly) put up with a 30 second ad in the middle of a program I've already paid to watch, but 2 minutes?!?!" Despite the advert situation, fans are loving the series, and new farmhand Harriet Cowan. With manager Kaleb Cooper on his nationwide tour, former Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson needs a pair of extra hands. The star isn't just a farmhand however, also a full time nurse and TikTok star as well as a farmer, and now - a reality TV star. During the series, she makes a bold first impression on Jeremy when she admits that she's never seen an episode of Clarkson's Farm. "I ain't got time to watch all that," she tells him when they first meet. It's not only Jeremy she's gained the approval of - as fans are loving the new addition. "One episode in and already in stitches with Jeremy and his not having a clue and swearing, Stand in Harriet looks like she's going to be a fun addition #clarksonsfarm," wrote one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, as another wrote: "How great is Harriet on #clarksonsfarm Sneaked episode 1 of Series 4 in my lunch hour, it's so good, just like all the others." Elsewhere in the series, fans were left in stitches when Jeremy's girlfriend Lisa Hogan revealed a hilarious fact about her sex life with the TV presenter. It all starts when Harriet Cowan arrives with a new pig on the farm. "Look on the bums and you can see the little clitoris," Harriet whispers, to which Jeremy replies: "They don't have clitorises." "Pigs have clitorises? I didn't know that this morning. There has been no morning in the last 63 years that I've known that," he adds. Harriet then fills Lisa in on the discovery, as she says: "He says you can't see it." Hilariously, Lisa brutally responds: "Oh Jesus - he can't find it either, I can tell you."

Grab £400 Apple Watch for only £89 in cracking Wowcher deal
This is the perfect deal for those who don't mind not having the latest and greatest Apple watch to hit the market. Apple has a variety of tech gadgets on the market that are widely popular with fans. One of which is its watch series, which allows users to track their health and fitness while also delivering important notifications so shoppers don't need to pick up their phones. However, these watches can be a tad expensive, with the latest Apple Watch Series 10 starting at £699 for the titanium edition. If shoppers aren't fussed about having the newest smart watch to hit the market, then this Wowcher deal may be worth some consideration. Normally retailing for £399.95, shoppers can now get a refurbished Series 4 model for only £89. Saving shoppers £310, this limited-time deal is proving to be popular with over 6,900 units already sold. Available in black, white or pink, this is a prime deal to take advantage of. For £30 more, shoppers can opt to buy an advanced cellular model for £119. It should be noted that these Apple Watches are refurbished and Wowcher has classified them as "good" quality - indicating signs of use but are overall in good condition, reports Manchester Evening News. While featuring a few surface marks, the functionality of the watches aren't affected as they have been worked on by experts to bring them back to box condition. The cheaper GPS watch was released in 2018 and comes with 16GB of storage, making it ideal for everyday use. Most people also won't be able to tell the difference between the refurbished watch and newer models as they both bare a nearly identical design. It should be pointed out that the series 4 watch no longer supports the latest watchOS updates and also lacks newer sensors like blood oxygen or temperature tracking. Despite this, the device is said to perform smoothly for day-to-day tasks such as messaging, workouts and music control. For those who are looking for something more up-to-date while sticking with the Apple brand, the Apple Watch Series 10 GPS is now at its lowest price at Argos. Down to £299 for the 42mm case, this watch features fast charging that will give you 80 per cent battery in 30 minutes. Alternatively, for those looking for a fitness tracker, Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 in a limited time deal. Normally retailing £59, shoppers can now snap it up for only £41. With a battery life of up to 13 days, this device is said to feature effortless navigation and easy viewing with its AMOLED display. While Wowcher does not have reviews on its products, Amazon is also selling renewed Apple Series 4 Watches on their website, with many shoppers leaving reviews on the quality of their refurbished watch. One delighted shopper said: "I was a bit unsure about buying a renewed product but it's gone far beyond my expectations. I've had an Apple Watch before so knew what to expect in terms of features, but the battery lasts much longer than I was expecting (which was one of my main concerns). Came packaged as new at a great price so I'm very happy!" Another added: "This was supposed to be a refurbished Apple Watch but it seems brand new, apart from the box. I own a smart watch from another maker, which I like, but this thing takes everything into a whole new Apple league." However, some shoppers weren't as thrilled by the watch, with one reviewer noting: "Great product. Poor Battery. Get around 7hrs battery life... news ones claim 18hrs." Another shopper had a similar impression: "Had many scratches and battery life is not enough for this money!" Despite this, many shoppers were blown away by the quality they received with their refurbished watch. One shopper went on to say: "Came looking like brand new, unboxed looked spotless. I would have genuinely thought they'd sent me a new one however there's one tiny barely visible scuff on the back. Battery life is better than my new phone." A further shopper also praised: "Excellent condition. Looks like new, no scratches or defects, fully functional. Good battery life and in a reasonable price."
