Shoppers swap Dyson and Shark vacuums for cheaper model with 'good suction'
Amazon has reduced the price of one of its best-selling vacuums that shoppers have likened to expensive models from Dyson and Shark. The Ultenic U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner typically retails for £239.99 but is on sale right now for £149.99.
The cordless vacuum cleaner has a 600W brushless motor and advanced noise reduction technology, promising to operate 40% quieter than traditional models. The floor brush features a four-layer design: stiff bristles (collecting carpet hair), V-shaped silicone flaps (deeper cleaning), soft PP bristles (captures fine dust particles), and durable nylon (removes pet hair and prevents tangling).
Ultenic's U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has an extendable arm to get in hard-to-reach areas such as beneath low furniture. The floor brush is made with an integrated green light to reveal hidden dust.
Over at Shark, consumers can find reductions on bundle deals. For instance, this Classic Upright Cleaning Bundle includes a corded upright vacuum cleaner, with two floor modes, and a corded floor mop with three settings. Usually £369.98, it is on sale for £281.
Dyson also has some deals on at the moment, including a sale on its best-selling V11 Advanced vacuum. It has been reduced by £80, now offered for £349.99, from £429.99.
Consumers hoping to buy a robot vacuum can save £160 on Shark's Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Cordless Robot Vacuum Cleaner & Mop at Argos. The retailer is selling it for £240, down from £400. The same offer was also available on Shark's website; however, the device is currently out of stock.
Ultenic's U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has an overall customer satisfaction rating of 4.8 from Amazon shoppers and more than 1,000 reviews. One person described it as a 'lovely vacuum' with 'good suction', continuing: "I have always had a Dyson or Shark. But this is a great alternative, and to be honest, I think it is better than my Shark one."
Another said they were 'far very pleased with it'. Before adding: "To try it out, I started vacuuming the house (I had already done it the day before) and couldn't believe how much dust, etc it picked up. The lights on it let you see where the dust is."
The same shopper continued: "It is excellent on the stairs, using it hand-held and the pull-out brush. Having previously had a Dyson and a Shark I would say this cleaner is better. Great that it stands upright too. Coped very well with picking up pet hair and did not get tangled in brush."
A few customers reported suction power problems, with one buyer saying: "Very lightweight and easy to set up. Battery life is accurately described. However, it is not a particularly powerful suction vacuum cleaner. You need to run over the same area several times to get a suitable clean."
An additional shopper said: "Having previously had a Shark cordless hoover, I was looking to replace like for like. However, having read all the positive reviews on the Ultenic U20, I decided to go for it. The Ultenic arrived the next day and was super easy to put together. It's lightweight with a decent-sized dust bin that's really easy to empty and clean."

Urgent recall issued on popular holiday travel gadget sold at Argos, Currys and Amazon due to fire risk
A TRAVEL gadget popular with holidaymakers has been urgently recalled over a fire risk. Anker power banks are at risk of catching on fire as their batteries can overheat while in use, the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has warned. 1 The gadgets are sold at high street stores including Currys and Argos, as well as on Amazon. Three models of the Anker power banks have been recalled - A1647, A1681, A1689. Anyone who owns these products has been told to stop using them immediately. The products do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, it has been warned. The lithium-ion batteries in the portable chargers can overheat while in use, which can cause smoke, melting or even fire, according to the OPSS. Addressing the recall, Anker said on its website: "Earlier this year, Anker implemented a series of enhanced quality assurance protocols designed to detect manufacturing issues earlier in the production cycle. "These safeguards—including expanded component-level audits and supplier testing—helped us identify a potential issue with common, lithium-ion battery cells from a single vendor. "While the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to initiate a voluntary global recall of several Anker power bank models. "We have formally notified and are coordinating with regulatory authorities in all regions to ensure the recall is conducted in compliance with all applicable local guidelines." The company has also provided guidance on how to tell if your power bank is included in the recall. You should firstly check your model number, which you can find on the bottom or side of your power bank. If it matches one of the recalled models (A1647, A1681, A1689), you can then verify your serial number or submit your proof of purchase using Anker's online form at .
