The vacuum features detangling technology, too, so you don't have to worry about hair clogging your cleaner or manually removing strands from the vacuum.
There are three cleaning modes, depending on how deep a clean you need. You might want a heavier suction on carpets and a lighter suction on your hardwood floors, for example.
There's also a washable filter, designed to block up to 99.97 percent of dust, dirt, and bacteria particles. It can even trap allergens as small as 0.3 microns with ease.

'Exceptional cleaning performance over time. We appreciate the HEPA filtering as well. An advantage of the QVC purchase are the additional attachments that are included!' says one shopper.
'I noticed there was no dust being exhausted, causing me to sneeze. After a few weeks, I no longer have to vacuum as often. And I have two German Shorthair Pointers that it really cleans up after,' adds another.
'I finally decided to give this one a try and… WOW!!! This amazing vacuum is a little heavier than I am used to, but it makes my carpet and rugs LOOK BRAND NEW!!! The suction on this vacuum is AMAZING!!!' says a third.
If you need a powerful corded vacuum for larger homes with pets, the Dyson Ball Animal 3 is for you.

I grew up in a tiny bamboo hut where I slept on the floor and used a communal shower... now I live in luxury

A woman who grew up in a tiny bamboo hut in the Philippines where six people shared a room and slept on mattresses on the floor has laid bare the grim realities of her childhood. Maeurn Smiles, 25, hails from the island of Cebu, a province of the Philippines, where her family struggled to make ends meet. She resided in a small shack that consisted of just one large room and had no kitchen or bathroom and rarely had electricity. She often 'went hungry' and was forced to look after her younger siblings when she was only eight years old while her parents worked long hours. After years of struggling and longing for a better life, she began selling saucy photos of herself at age 21 and now rakes in thousands a month through the endeavor - but she's using her earnings to help stop other kids from going through something similar. While speaking exclusively with the Daily Mail about it, she said of her childhood: 'We had no money. 'All of us would sleep together, packed like sardines. There were no rooms at all. It was just one open space where we all slept side by side.' She said her mom worked as a maid, cleaning houses for wealthy families in the village, while her dad was a construction driver. She explained that they rarely had electricity - it depended on whether or not they could afford it - and there were 'no proper beds.' 'We slept on thin mattresses on the floor, but we made it work,' she continued. They cooked on an open fire outside and showered in a communal washing area 'with their clothes on.' There was also no toilet in the house which meant they had to use public bathrooms. 'We cooked using an open fire outside. We didn't have a stove or oven, so everything was very traditional and manual,' shared Maeurn. 'We showered outside with our clothes on - Filipino style. As for toilets, we didn't have one inside the house.' They lived off noodles and rice, but 'if they were lucky' they'd sometimes get 'fish, chicken, or sardines from a can.' However some days, they 'went hungry.' She dished, 'Corned beef was a treat. For breakfast, we'd have rice with Milo, it felt fancy to me as a kid. 'But there were times when we didn't even have rice. We were very poor, and most of our money went straight to food. If there wasn't enough, we simply went without.' She spent her days watching over her younger siblings before she got her first job when she was only a teen teaching ESL lessons. But Maeurn insisted that she was not unhappy during her childhood despite the harsh living conditions. 'It brought us closer. It turned out to be a lot of fun,' she reflected. Maeurn now rakes in thousands a month through OnlyFans, and her new lifestyle is a far cry from her childhood struggles. She is now building her own school in the Philippines so that other kids won't be in the same situation she was. 'I promised myself that any success I found online would flow back to kids who feel stuck where I once was,' Maeurn, who has 3.7 million followers on Instagram, said. 'A supercar depreciates, but a student's mind compounds. If I'd had this opportunity growing up, I probably would have pursued medicine or engineering. 'I loved science, but our rural school only had one broken microscope and no lab sessions.' Despite facing backlash by some for her online career, Maeurn says she's proud to be proving that the creator economy can drive real-world change. In response to those who may judge her for selling sultry images, she clapped back: 'Some people will never respect how I earn my money, but I don't care what they think. 'They shouldn't care how I get the money – just how I use it. I know I'm using my platform for good, and that's all that matters. 'Education saved me and gave me new prospects, and that's exactly what I want to do for other young people.' Construction on the school - called Edmundo Tolentino Memorial National High School, after her late father - is already underway. The first phase includes three classrooms, a library, and a science and cooking center – a unique feature, Maeurn said, that will help kids gain practical life skills alongside academics. She said of her journey: 'At 18, I was teaching English to Chinese students with no degree, just determination. 'I came from a poor family, but through OnlyFans and my other platforms, I was able to build something for myself.' Maeurn hopes the school will eventually serve over 300 students, many of whom currently walk miles every day just to attend classes. She has bigger plans too – including a dormitory for girls who live too far away and a scholarship fund to help the brightest pupils go on to study STEM subjects at top universities. But her ultimate goal is to build a whole network of creator-backed institutions across Southeast Asia. 'If the result is children studying under proper lights instead of by candlelight, then all the challenges are worth it,' she added. 'Every classroom we finish and every student who walks through those doors brings real change – not just for them, but for the whole community. 'This school isn't just a building; it's an investment in education that will make a difference for years to come.'

Four whales beached in Japan could have been stranded by huge earthquake

Four whales that became beached in Japan could have been stranded by the huge earthquake that triggered tsunami warnings, experts have revealed. Filmed in Tateyama, Chiba prefecture, heartbreaking footage shows the huge creatures laying within a few feet of each other on the beach. Parts of Japan have recently been struck by 5ft waves, but the whales appeared to have become stranded before they hit. Sad incident: Heartbreaking footage has revealed that at least four giant whales are stranded on a beach in Japan amid the tsunami warnings This poses the question – how did the whales end up there in the first place? According to Professor Peter Evans, Director of the Sea Watch Foundation, the answer may lie in an increase in underwater noise, causing the whales to become disorientated. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: 'Whales, particularly deep diving species, are susceptible to hearing damage from underwater noise. 'Sea quakes are one source of very loud noise. 'I imagine that the earthquake off Russia has caused major tremors initiating the tsunami and that all of that has had impacts on whales.' The evidence: Filmed in Tateyama, Chiba prefecture, the footage shows the huge creatures laying within a few feet of each other Japan was struck by tsunami waves approaching five feet on Wednesday as the biggest earthquake for 14 years saw millions having to evacuate. Tidal waves struck parts of Russia, Japan, and the United States in the aftermath of a magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia's eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. The earthquake was the sixth most powerful on record, and the strongest in Kamchatka region since 1952, with aftershocks of up to 7.5 magnitude expected to hit. It is the largest earthquake globally since 2011, when a 9.1 megaquake hit northeast Japan and left 19,747 people either dead or missing. Rob Deaville, Project Manager of the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme the Zoological Society of London, agreed that underwater noise could be to blame for the whale strandings. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: 'From the pictures, it looks like a small group of sperm whales – a species known to mass strand quite frequently. 'It's certainly true some species are quite sensitive to noise – whether it's manmade or natural – but without any context, I'd be a bit cautious about trying to link the events at this stage. 'Until a post–mortem is carried out, we can't jump to any conclusions.' Usually, most whales are unaffected by tsunamis, according to David Rugh, a retired whale expert at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Writing in an article for Journey North, he said: 'Whales will be almost unaffected. 'At sea they will have the sensation of a wave passing when the tsunami goes by, much as vessels at sea do, without any deleterious affect. 'The place where there might be a problem would be near shore when a tsunami rapidly pulls water out to sea before a wave hits the shore. 'Whales might be stranded for a moment and then pushed hard against tidal rocks as the tsunami overwhelms them. 'Therefore, the degree of impact may be a function of proximity to the coast.' The expert highlights that tsunamis vary in size and dynamics, so it will not be consistent in how they impact whales. 'Videos of tsunamis sometimes show a beach becoming exposed for a short while, and then a high wave comes in.' North added: 'If a whale was very near the beach at that moment, it might be pulled out to sea or - for a few tens of seconds - it might be stranded. 'It's the force of the incoming wave that could be especially hard on living things.'

Knowledge of tartans' origins vital to grasp our history

Not so much today, but not too many years ago, I was a re-enactor of historical periods. Initially, when I lived in England, reenacting the English civil wars between 1646 to 1651. A few years before I migrated to Scotland, I met up with the Scottish contingent of that period which eventually led me to jump a hundred years into 1745 to 1746. The last Jacobite period if you will. In each period, anyone and everyone had to be perfectly correct in what clothing we wore, what armaments we used, and if we partook in living history camping, then what domestic utensils, bedding and container chests were used. Men, women and children of all ages. In order to succeed in this important aspect, England had a living history market twice a year where ready-made equipment could be purchased from experts in their field or, the correct material could also be purchased to create your own wardrobe etc. READ MORE: Scottish Labour councillor suspended for 'bullying' member of the public The point of all this is that historical knowledge was the backbone necessary to, not only wear the correct garb, but to have learned about its origins. Such as with the material for the great kilt of the 18th century. Reading was obviously the necessary source for information and from various sources of authoritative writers. For myself, I learnt that with clans, regardless of which glen they dwelt, most had a local wool spinner and weaver. The colour used in dying the wool came from natural source as in vegetation or crushed stone. This was more or less the origin of how different clans, no matter how related to each other, had their variations of so-called colour and weave of wool into the criss-cross pattern we associate as tartan. Homemade dyes would been quiet pale in some cases. I tried it myself using onion and carrot. The weave would also have been varied according to the choice of the weaver. I expect there might be contradiction to my resourced information, but there was a general consensus amongst us re-enactors, wherever we came from, during discussions about our hobby around the evening campfires. Ideas were shared and information appreciated. Alan Magnus-Bennett Fife THE letter by Gordon Ian MacLeod in the Sunday National (July 27) referencing John McGrath's great play, brought to mind a recent article in the Daily Mail regarding an ongoing case at the Court of Session where the parties in dispute are a wealthy (non-Scottish) landowner and a large energy company (also non-Scottish). The dispute concerned constraint payments – credits given to energy companies to turn off wind turbines when either the demand for electricity is low or the grid cannot get the electricity to where it can be used. Remarkably it turns out that these credits can be traded between energy companies and the landowner obviously wanted his cut of what was produced on his land – despite it being non-existent! Is there a playwright out there who can give us 'The cheviot, the stag and the imaginary electricity' for 2025? The lessons from the original play have obviously not yet cut through. R Millar Darvel NOW that I am no longer a member of the SNP and my once treasured badge of honour, my plastic membership card, has been cut up and awaits recycling, I can't help but think that it is perhaps ironic that it took Mhairi Black to spur me into doing something I should have done a long time earlier. It will not matter to the SNP that another member has left because they don't listen to us anyway! That is a sad indication of the state of play for all us independence supporters. At least I got a good laugh when two plonkers had a chat on Monday. As the president of the free world ranted that he didn't like all sorts of people and other stuff, including windmills and the Labour mayor of London, perhaps the Prime Minister should have told the president that windmills were very, very important because they sent power to England from Scotland down south so that the poor Scots could be charged exorbitant prices to buy it back! He could also have told the president, who said that he wanted Scotland to thrive, that he, the UK Prime Minister, would never ever allow that to happen as England would be screwed if Scotland were to become independent. It is nauseating to say the least watching people letting themselves be humiliated by a convicted felon posing as some sort of messiah. I might not be a member of the SNP anymore but I am still a proud Scot. As such I have to say that I think we are better than all this. Old John Ayrshire
