Get £60 off 'so quiet' cordless lawn mower with 500 five-star reviews
When there's a task like mowing the lawn that needs doing, it can be tempting to get it out of the way first thing in the morning. But anyone who's been woken on a lazy Sunday by the sound of their neighbour cutting the grass knows that the sound of the lawn mower isn't the nicest way to start the day.
Now, gardeners who like to get up and at 'em with their lawn care can do so without disturbing their neighbours, as Amazon has a hefty discount on a quiet cordless lawn mower. The Worx WG733E 20V 33cm Cordless Brushless Lawn Mower is £111.39, down 34% from £169.99 - and shoppers say it's lovely and quiet.
The cordless mower is powerful and efficient, with advanced brushless motor technology that delivers precise results without fear of tripping up on a wire. The mower's cut-to-edge design allows closer cuts along fences and flower beds, and it has a large 35L grass collection bag for minimal emptying.
Of course, plenty of other retailers sell quality cordless lawnmowers. Debenhams has the VonHaus Customisable Height 40V Cordless Lawn Mower for £179.99 - a lightweight mower that is fully adjustable to suit the condition of the grass and time of year. Alternatively, there's the Bosch Power for all CityMower 18-32 Cordless 18V Rotary Lawnmower for £255 at B&Q, with a brushless electronic motor and grass combs for great results on edges.
However, the Worx mower has plenty of great reviews on Amazon, boasting a 4.2 star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews. One shopper said: "You won't go wrong with this mower, so quiet and cuts really well. The speed of the motor increases when it comes into contact with thick grass. I have 1 medium and 1 small sized lawn, after cutting both the battery's are still half full, recharge back to full in 45 minutes. Very pleased with the product."
Another said: "Very pleased with this purchase, it is so much lighter than my old petrol mower! I loved how quick it was to get my lawn looking better than ever, having the 2 batteries was a big bonus."
A third added: "Old petrol mower gave up so decided to try battery power. No regrets. Easy to assemble and use. Good choice of cutting heights and quite happy with functionality. Nice that can see how much power in batteries when fitted. Also good idea that grass box indicates when full."
However, some people did flag some issues: "The lawnmower is definitely suited more for smaller gardens with relatively well kept grass," one buyer said. "I have a lot of moss in the front garden and the lawnmower cannot cut through it on the lowest setting. I have cut it to the second lowest then the lowest and the lawnmower still struggles to get through the moss."
Another added: "A lot more convenient than a corded mower but it really struggles with long grass (just done my first cut of the year and it kept cutting off). I also felt my cheap corded mower gave a neater cut."
That said, with a great deal on the Worx WG733E 20V 33cm Cordless Brushless Lawn Mower, it could do the trick for gardeners looking to upgrade their mower.

Amazon Kindle Fire tablets shoppers 'use every day' slashed to £20 in 12-hour sale
Wowcher has slashed prices across a range of the reading devices. Bargain hunters looking for a budget-friendly tablet are in luck, as Wowcher is currently offering Amazon Kindle Fire devices for as little as £19.99. However, this deal is only available for a very limited time and will expire at midnight tonight, Wednesday, August 20. This means shoppers only have a few hours to take advantage of the offer. The Kindle Fire tablets on sale are refurbished models from a few years ago, with the most basic £19.99 version being the very first Kindle Fire tablet that Amazon launched back in 2011. As expected, this older piece of technology doesn't quite match up to today's standards, but it can still serve as a dedicated eReader or a digital photo frame. There are also some more recent devices available in the mix. For an additional tenner, shoppers can get their hands on a refurbished Kindle Fire 7 HD, which is a much more recent and powerful version of Amazon's popular tablet. With a 7-inch HD screen, it's perfect for watching films or casual web browsing. However, Amazon's tablets are known for being slightly underpowered, so don't expect to be editing Hollywood films on this device - it's primarily intended for consumption rather than creation. The devices on offer at Wowcher are all refurbished, meaning they've been previously owned and restored by professionals. As such, they should be in full working order with a few cosmetic marks here and there, reports the Manchester Evening News. Those preferring a fresh tablet can grab the most affordable model from Amazon's current Fire lineup, the HD 8, priced at £69.99. Android enthusiasts might fancy the Samsung A9, another sought-after device currently available for £77.99. Examining customer feedback for these earlier Kindle Fire variants, owners from that era appeared genuinely impressed. Boasting 4.5 stars across the board, it garnered remarkably favourable reviews. Tech deal of the week Shoppers looking for a set of budget earbuds are in luck as Amazon has a set that shoppers say work 'as well as Apple Airpods.' The Jxrev Wireless Earbuds usually retail for £24.99, but shoppers can now snap them up for £18.99 in a limited time deal. Providing up to eight hours of playtime from a single charge, these earbuds will let users listen to their favourite tunes, audiobooks and podcasts uninterrupted for hours on end. When used with the charging case, this boosts up to 40 hours. For those worried about losing battery in the middle of the day, the charging case also comes with an LED display so users know exactly how much battery is remaining. On top of this, shoppers will get clear calls as the earbuds come with environmental noise cancellation which will cancel out or suppress background noise to make users sound clearer. Many shoppers have raved over these earbuds, which currently have a 4.3 star rating. One happy shopper said: "These fit brilliantly and once you know what taps to do and when; they are excellent quality, value, usability and size. Great delivery speed too. "They fit my tiny ear canals brilliantly with no discomfort or problem using them. Easy to set up Bluetooth. They were 100 per cent charged which was greatly appreciated." To buy the Jxrev Wireless Earbuds, click HERE. One satisfied customer said: "My recommendations for people buying a Kindle Fire: If you are looking for an e-reader with additional functions, if you want to read magazines on your e-reader, if you want to watch the occasional movie and play a game here and there, then the Fire is right for you." A second reviewer states: "I got my Kindle Fire right when they were first released in 2011 - five years later I still use it every day, more than my iPad Mini." Nevertheless, certain buyers encountered difficulties whilst using the device. "It was heavy and the resolution was not great. I liked the iPad mini or Samsung tablet much better as they can be used for reading as well as web-browsing," one shopper revealed. Another review states: "I like this for reading books but it is horrible for Internet usage. There is a delay when you type and many pages don't load correctly. "I got an iPad eight months after I bought my Kindle and now I wish I had never bought the Kindle." However, another five-star reviewer commented: "I bought this for my 9-year-old daughter. It is amazing. "She loves reading books and playing games. It isn't as expensive as an iPad but it has pretty much all the great features an iPad has."

Exclusive: Amazon looks to ditch homegrown software for Android in Fire tablet revamp, sources say
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab is plotting a big change to its Fire tablet lineup following years of escalating gripes from consumers and app developers over the company's homegrown operating system. As part of a project known internally as Kittyhawk, Amazon plans to release a higher-end tablet as soon as next year offering the Android operating system software for the first time, according to six people familiar with the matter. Since the Fire tablet's introduction in 2011, Amazon has used what is known as a 'forked' version of Android with custom modifications that make it work like a unique operating system. Amazon has long sought to undercut hardware rivals with inexpensive tablets and other devices that serve as a doorway to the firm's digital content, like e-books, videos and music. The devices have typically sold at or near manufacturing cost. But the focus on simplicity has held back sales, particularly among consumers who seek higher-performing devices. The multiyear project to switch to Android marks a philosophical change for the online retail giant, which has eschewed third-party operating systems and software in favor of its own. As a result, Amazon has offered its own app store requiring developers to make separate versions of their apps for Fire tablets, limiting the store's variety. If Kittyhawk is successful, Fire tablets could be more desirable for consumers who crave compatibility with other Android devices, the people said. They cautioned that Kittyhawk could be delayed or cancelled over financial or other concerns. Amazon declined to comment, saying it does not respond to rumors or speculation. 'Consumers have always expressed a concern about not having access to the latest Android versions, not having access to some of their apps because Amazon used their own store,' said Jitesh Ubrani, a researcher at IT advisory firm IDC. 'It's meant more work for developers in this day and age of largely free apps or services.' Ubrani noted that Amazon has nonetheless sold many millions of the tablets. Amazon has forfeited profits on the devices themselves in favor of making money on selling their associated services, like streaming movie rentals. But such inexpensive devices typically come with compromises like lower screen quality or battery life compared with pricier options. Amazon is the world's fourth-largest tablet seller, with 8% of the market, just behind Lenovo's ( opens new tab 8.2%, according to second-quarter IDC data. Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab and Samsung ( opens new tab were the market leaders with 33.1% and 18.7%, respectively. The first Amazon Android tablet, slated for next year, will be pricier than current models, the people said. One of them said Amazon had discussed a $400 price tag, nearly double the cost of its current higher-end $230 Fire Max 11 tablet. IPads, by comparison, range from $350 to $1,200. Reuters could not learn additional specifications for the planned Amazon tablet, such as screen size and speaker quality or memory capacity. Amazon historically has avoided using software or other products from third parties, preferring to develop the services in-house or, barring that, to acquire a competitor. The Fire Phone smartphone championed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and released in 2014 failed to win over buyers in part because of its reliance on Fire OS, as well as its high price tag. Amazon canceled the device and took a $170 million writedown. But the Seattle retailer has more recently shown a willingness to use rivals' services, particularly through its investment in startup Anthropic, whose Claude artificial intelligence software is the primary underpinning of Amazon's Alexa+ voice assistant and a chatbot used by employees known as Cedric. The new Fire tablet, the people said, will use the open-source version of Android, meaning it does not require direct coordination with Google and can be customized. Amazon is planning to roll out some lower-priced tablets with its Linux-based Vega operating system now in some Fire TV devices, some of the people said. The full slate of tablets will eventually be powered by a version of Android, the people said. The Fire project's internal code name of Kittyhawk seems to derive from the North Carolina town near where the Wright brothers conducted the first powered flight in 1903. But it is also the name of a failed flying car startup backed by Google co-founder Larry Page that burned through hundreds of millions in cash. Amazon declined to discuss the meaning behind its Kittyhawk project name.
