Amazon slashes over 30% off 'brilliant' wireless doorbell camera that's 'fantastic value'
Many of us will be embarking on well-deserved and long-awaited summer holidays over the next few months for some sun, good food, and relaxation. A common anxiety when going away for a week or two is whether or not your home is safe sitting empty.
But luckily, Amazon are offering a generous discount on a highly-rated security camera.
The XTU Wireless WiFi Video Doorbell Camera is currently 31 per cent off for Amazon Prime members, cutting its price from a steep £69.99 to a more affordable £47.99. The wireless camera connects to your phone via the CloudEdge app which alerts you of any movement outside your door while you're away.
The Video Doorbell Camera boasts many high-tech features, including a built-in rechargeable battery that can last one to two months, ensuring that you won't have to charge the batteries too often. Its motion detection and two-way audio features allow you to see and hear whatever is happening on your doorstep whenever you're not there.
Its product description on Amazon says the wireless device can be set up in just five minutes, without the need for any specialist tools. The camera is also waterproof to resist the changeable Scottish weather, meaning you can keep an eye on your home year-round.
The high-tech lens provides crystal-clear images and video recordings via 2560x1440 Megapixel and 166 degree wide view angle, as well as night vision of up to 30 ft. It offers an optional paid subscription for the app, but reviewers have deemed this extra cost 'not necessary'.
The doorbell camera boasts a high rating of 4.3 stars out of a possible five, with a whopping 5000 odd reviews.
One happy customer said: "Great little doorbell for a really good price! Good camera quality and manages to detect motion with a really impressive range. Brilliant night vision too.
"Easy to physically install took me about five minutes and the setup on the app was a breeze with the ability to add household members to share the footage and settings with without any trouble."
Another pleased customer said: "I purchased this door camera/bell about a year ago. I cannot fault its functionality and ease of use. It works really well and exceeded my expectations."
Tech deal of the week
If you're on the market for a new TV, you'll know it can be a fairly pricey purchase.
However, we have a deal that won't cost an arm and a leg, as the Hisense 4K UHD Smart TV is currently at its cheapest price on Amazon. It's currently on sale for £599 at Amazon, a 25 per cent discount from the usual £799 price tag.
According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price ever offered for this TV. Launched last year, the Hisense U7N is said to deliver one billion shades of colour due to its Quantum Dot and Mini-LED technology.
This uses thousands of tiny LEDs to create dimming zones, offering superior control over brightness, contrast and colour compared to standard models. The TV also boasts Hisense's new Hi-View Engine Pro feature, which uses AI to upscale content for a higher quality image.
Its Dolby Atmos sound system is said to create an immersive experience by making it seem like sound is coming from all directions, whether you're watching films or playing games.
As well as countless films and series on streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, the Hisense U7N also offers Freely, a new platform that provides live and on-demand TV from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and more in one place.
It also comes with built-in Alexa voice control, allowing for hands-free operation of the TV.
Over 100 have been bought on Amazon in the last month, where it is an Amazon's Choice product - meaning it is highly-rated, well-priced, and available to ship immediately. If you don't want to miss the deal, buy it here.
A third said: "This video doorbell is absolutely fantastic value for money. It has all the features that all of the more expensive brands have and it performs outstandingly. So simple to set up and install and the app is really user friendly. I did try the optional subscription although I don't think it's necessary.
"It has the option for an SD card and that will more than suffice for anyone's needs. Great battery life (even with us living on a constantly busy road). It did take me a few attempts to alter the alarm notifications but after a short while I've found the sweet spot. Great video and sound quality and solid connectivity. Definitely would recommend!
However, one customer was not so satisfied, saying: "I bought this as a present for Christmas, it started off really well but the device has been acting up, the motion sensor doesn't work and the camera will be offline for days and won't connect.
"I've contacted the company for a solution but none of them worked so will be getting it refunded."
For those browsing other doorbell cameras, Argos offers the eufy E340 2K Dual Cameras Smart Video Doorbell with Chime for a more expensive £124.99, or the Arlo Essential HD Wi-Fi 4-in1 Smart Video Doorbell for a cheaper £89.99.

Braun shaver that shoppers say 'shaves as close as a wet shave' £260 off on Amazon
The Braun Series 9 PRO+ is a top-tier wet and dry foil shaver, now £239.99 on Amazon, offering a close, comfortable shave Electric shavers have evolved to offer impressive performance, comfort, and convenience, making them a go-to choice for many men. The Braun Series 9 PRO+ Electric Shaver sits at the top of the brand's line-up, aiming to deliver a close shave without sacrificing skin comfort. Currently available on Amazon for £239.99, down 52% from its regular £499.99 price, this premium wet and dry foil razor is finished in sleek black and silver. It's built in Germany from high-quality materials and designed to last for years. Featuring 5+1 perfectly synchronised shaving elements, Braun Series 9 PRO+ Electric Shaver is made to gently cut even the toughest beards in every stroke. The Ultra Thin Precision Blades claim to offer more efficient shaving than any previous Series 9 model, while protecting the skin from irritation. Its Pro SensoAdapt technology analyses beard density 300 times per second, automatically adjusting power to ensure maximum efficiency, and the 40° ultra-adaptive shaving head is designed to maintain skin contact even in awkward areas like under the chin and along the neck. Waterproof and suitable for both wet and dry use, it offers up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving on a full charge. There are other premium options worth considering. The Philips Shaver Series 9000 Wet & Dry with SkinIQ is available for £221.99, down from £549.99, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 2,000 reviews. The Panasonic Series 900, priced at £229.99, also competes strongly with its focus on precision and power. But for those specifically after Braun's flagship model, the Series 9 PRO+ remains one of the most talked-about shavers in its category. Reviews are mixed, though many owners are impressed. One buyer who switched from a rival brand said, 'The Braun is far superior, it gives a really close shave, is quiet, and the battery lasts well before recharging. It's quite expensive but worth the cost.' Another praised its performance, calling it 'the best electric shaver I have had… well worth the money and I would buy again without hesitation.'

A third commented that it 'really does shave as close as a wet shave,' adding that the higher price balances out when compared to the ongoing cost of replacement blades or cartridges. However, not everyone has been convinced it justifies the price. One reviewer said, 'Yes it's good, but not good enough for any beard more than 3 days old… it leaves a few hairs behind no matter how much you try. Good shaver, but not worth the price.' Another simply noted, 'Although it works, it's not a match for a wet shave with a razor,' expressing disappointment given the premium cost. For those who value a blend of high-end technology, premium build quality, and a close, comfortable shave, the Braun Series 9 PRO+ remains a compelling option, especially at its current discounted price. You can find it HERE.

Kitchen product which 'rivals professional TV chefs' is on offer
Kitchen product which 'rivals professional TV chefs' is on offer The Ninja Professional Stackable Chopper is capable of chopping and mincing up food in an instant, massively reducing the amount of time it takes to prep vegetables The Ninja Professional Chopper (Image: Amazon) Much of the challenge with maintaining a healthy diet lies in the extensive preparation required with those tasked with the cooking wishing they could avoid all that chopping and slicing. Should this scenario ring true for you this Ninja device, which has just received a £22 price cut through a combination of two offers, could prove invaluable. Typically retailing at £29.99, this Ninja Professional Stackable Chopper is presently discounted by 20% on Ninja's official website when using the code NINJA20. This convenient kitchen tool can chop and mince food instantly, dramatically cutting the time needed for vegetable preparation. Simply place the vegetables into the container and press the handle down repeatedly until you achieve your preferred chopping texture. We previously examined this useful little appliance on WalesOnline last year, noting: "The device operates exactly as the name suggests. "Simply load it with vegetables, press down on the top, and voila, your food is chopped. For me, prep is such a time-consuming task that I often opt for meals that require less mental effort, ensuring I still get all my veggies and protein." For the latest restaurant news and reviews sign up to our food and drink newsletter here . Should you find yourself also dreading the evening meal preparation this gadget could spare you considerable trouble. One reviewer wrote: "With a single press, this device chops things faster than a chef on This Morning. "This means I'm more likely to opt for tastier dishes like curry, chilli or even just a salad, rather than just throwing a bunch of ingredients into my air fryer and hoping for the best. "While its main drawback could be considered 'being too effective' I'd highly recommend the Ninja Chopper. "It's particularly useful for those who'd rather not spend their entire evening in the kitchen. The addition of different power modes would make it perfect." The glowing praise was mirrored by another satisfied customer, who headlined their review 'Should have bought it sooner', continuing to say: "Perfect for quickly chopping ingredients, from breadcrumbs to a delicious salsa. Blades are super sharp - be careful when cleaning. "The handy jars are stackable and you can store directly in the fridge. Meanwhile easily dishwasher proof too although I'd recommend the blades to be hand washed. Very good value - will use this daily." A third delighted user remarked: "This chopper is so versatile and easy to use. I love how the tubs stack on top of each other. "So far I've used it to make the smoothest hummus ever, chopped almonds and made almond flour and chopped many vegetables with little effort. It's something I use daily and love it!". While numerous customers sing the praises of their purchases not everyone was entirely content. One shopper highlighted the design issues: "Good product. Easy to use, chops evenly and it's quite easy to control the size of the final 'chop'. "But it is not easy to get the chopped food out of the bowl because there are ridges down the side of the bowl meaning you can't scrape around the side with a spatula. "Food also gets trapped in the lid. However, it is dishwasher proof so cleaning is not a problem." Another expressed their frustration with the materials: "Very strong blitzer. "I expected a glass jar as the description was not very clear. The part that engage the blades and the motor is also plastic . I believe it's not going to last as I had another brand which broken few times until I gave up." Article continues below Strong alternatives to the Ninja Chopper include the Chopper 400 W at BOSCH while you could also get your hands on the Kenwood Easy Chop Chopper at Best Choice for £28.93.
