Amazon has slashes price of 'easy to use' strimmer that's perfect for awkward areas
Cutting the grass in your garden can sometimes feel like a huge chore, particularly when tackling those tricky spots your lawnmower just can't reach. It stands to reason that adding a strimmer to your tool shed is a savvy move for mastering your outdoor space.
In the midst of spring sales, many retailers have sliced prices on garden gear and furniture, but standout savings have been spotted on Amazon's popular Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer.
With a £94.95 RRP, this strimmer has impressed customers, securing a 4.3-star rating from over 3,500 reviews. However, garden lovers are now in for a treat as Amazon's price on the cordless wonder has been trimmed by 32%, down to just £64.98.
The 18V Einhell Strimmer, lightweight and coming with 20 blades, offers a swift 24cm cut reported by Birmingham Live. Dubbed a "high-performance member" of the Power X-Change family, this trimmer is touted for easily sprucing up your lawn edges.
Complete with a 2.0 Ah PXC battery and system charger, this strimmer ensures you're always ready for a quick garden tidy-up. Adding to its features, it comes with a flower guard, defending your blooms and plants against accidental nicks or cuts, reports the Daily Record.
Designed specifically for the home gardener, the Einhell strimmer offers adjustable length with its telescopic long handle, combined with an additional handle to enhance user-friendliness, allowing you to tidy your garden effortlessly and without extra strain.

For budget-conscious buyers, Amazon has slashed the price of the Flymo Contour 500E Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger. Usually selling for £69.99, this highly rated product is now available for just £51.87.
Meanwhile, Argos is offering a fantastic deal on the McGregor 30cm Corded Grass Trimmer, now in clearance for only £32. This trimmer boasts an impressive 4.7-star rating from over 1800 reviews, leaving Argos customers astounded by the value of this affordable strimmer.
The Einhell Power X-Change Cordless Strimmer isn't just impressing you – it's been snapped up by over 500 people in the last 30 days, with numerous glowing reviews to back it up.
A satisfied customer shared: "I love this great little strimmer and I've certainly had my money's worth out of it already! I've used it on far tougher jobs than grass trimming while clearing a large area of ditch and rough grassland recently cleared of brambles and weeds."
One customer praised: "I like the blade system and when a blade needs changing or replacing it's fairly easy although you do need strong fingers. I bought a second battery so I always have a spare charged up ready to use. Battery life seems long and they charge up quite quickly. I'm pushing 70 but find this strimmer lightweight and very easy to use. I'd certainly buy another."
A separate shopper raved: "I recently purchased the Einhell Power X-Change 18/24 Cordless, and it is a very capable and versatile grass trimmer! This trimmer is incredibly lightweight and easy to use, making it perfect for tackling those awkward areas around my garden.
"It is easily adjustable and very comfortable to handle due to its lightweight construction and size. One of its standout features is its ability to rotate for edging, adding to its versatility.
"The trimmer also comes with replacement blades that are simple to install, which is a great bonus. It operates on a lithium battery that charges quickly and lasts a long time, allowing me to complete my lawn tasks without interruptions."
However, one five-star reviewer noted a drawback, saying: "An excellent cordless strimmer but the plastic strimmer heads break very easily."
A three-star reviewer shared a mixed experience: "We love this item, it was charged when it arrived and worked perfectly BUT when the charge ran out, my husband plugged the charger in and it immediately went bang, it tripped the main switch in our home and now the charger is dead. This means we have never charged it and now I have to try and find out what to do to have it replaced."
But on the flip side, another customer couldn't hide their enthusiasm for the strimmer, adding: "Amazing technology. I bought this to replace my corded strimmer, which had the cord which kept snapping the second it touched anything other than grass. This one uses the blade thing, which makes very light work of even big thick nettle stems, small branches etc."
They continued: "It is staggeringly light, the battery lasts at least twenty minutes of continuous use, and is very quick to recharge. Honestly, I'm quite amazed how useful it is! My only criticism would be that there is no safety switch. It is so light, it is very easy to switch it on by accident when moving it around. Other than that, I can't recommend this enough."

Exclusive: SK Hynix expects AI memory market to grow 30% a year to 2030
SEOUL/SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 11 (Reuters) - South Korea's SK Hynix ( opens new tab forecasts that the market for a specialized form of memory chip designed for artificial intelligence will grow 30% a year until 2030, a senior executive said in an interview with Reuters. The upbeat projection for global growth in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for use in AI brushes off concern over rising price pressures in a sector that for decades has been treated like commodities such as oil or coal. "AI demand from the end user is pretty much, very firm and strong," said SK Hynix's Choi Joon-yong, the head of HBM business planning at SK Hynix. The billions of dollars in AI capital spending that cloud computing companies such as Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab and Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google are projecting will likely be revised upwards in the future, which would be "positive" for the HBM market, Choi said. The relationship between AI build-outs and HBM purchases is "very straightforward" and there is a correlation between the two, Choi said. SK Hynix's projections are conservative and include constraints such as available energy, he said. But the memory business is undergoing a significant strategic change during this period as well. HBM - a type of dynamic random access memory or DRAM standard first produced in 2013 - involves stacking chips vertically to save space and reduce power consumption, helping to process the large volumes of data generated by complex AI applications. SK Hynix expects this market for custom HBM to grow to tens of billions of dollars by 2030, Choi said. Due to technological changes in the way SK Hynix and rivals such as Micron Technology (MU.O), opens new tab and Samsung Electronics ( opens new tab build next-generation HBM4, their products include a customer-specific logic die, or "base die", that helps manage the memory. That means it is no longer possible to easily replace a rival's memory product with a nearly identical chip or product. Part of SK Hynix's optimism for future HBM market growth includes the likelihood that customers will want even further customisation than what SK Hynix already does, Choi said. At the moment it is mostly larger customers such as Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab that receive individual customisation, while smaller clients get a traditional one-size-fits-all approach. "Each customer has different taste," Choi said, adding that some want specific performance or power characteristics. SK Hynix is currently the main HBM supplier to Nvidia, although Samsung and Micron (MU.O), opens new tab supply it with smaller volumes. Last week, Samsung cautioned during its earnings conference call that current generation HBM3E supply would likely outpace demand growth in the near term, a shift that could weigh on prices. "We are confident to provide, to make the right competitive product to the customers," Choi said. U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States would impose a tariff of about 100% on semiconductor chips imported from countries not producing in America or planning to do so. Choi declined to comment on the tariffs. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office the new tariff rate would apply to "all chips and semiconductors coming into the United States," but would not apply to companies that were already manufacturing in the United States or had made a commitment to do so. Trump's comments were not a formal tariff announcement, and the president offered no further specifics. South Korea's top trade envoy Yeo Han-koo said on Thursday that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix would not be subject to the 100% tariffs on chips if they were implemented. Samsung has invested in two chip fabrication plants in Austin and Taylor, Texas, and SK Hynix has announced plans to build an advanced chip packaging plant and an artificial intelligence research and development facility in Indiana. South Korea's chip exports to the United States were valued at $10.7 billion last year, accounting for 7.5% of its total chip exports. Some HBM chips are exported to Taiwan for packaging, accounting for 18% of South Korea's chip exports in 2024, a 127% increase from the previous year.

Ninja Crispi 'transformed my meals' and now the cheapest ever price - only with this code
Ninja Crispi 'transformed my meals' and now the cheapest ever price - only with this code The Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass air aryer has a large 1.8L capacity, making it ideal for cooking multiple items at once Ninja has cut the price of all its products (Image: Amazon) They're the staple kitchen gadget, airfryers, plenty of households across the UK will rely on these simple worktop gadgets to cook their meals, all be it for a big family or diner for one. Popular for cutting time and money, one of Ninja's newest models is now the cheapest ever price. Worlds away from the brand's dual airfryer basket appliances, the Ninja Crispi is portable, compact, and everything is cooked in a glass container - which can then be used to store food in afterwards. Usually £179.99 there's now a much cheaper price being offered for shoppers. As part of Ninja's 20% off everything sale, the nifty air fryer has dropped to £149.99, one of the cheapest prices since it launched earlier this year. Only if shoppers use the code Ninja20 at the checkout. But is it worth buying? Writer Eve Rowlands has previously tried it out and says the appliance has left her 'enjoying cooking more'. Ditching her Philips Airfryer for the latest Ninja model, Eve swapped to the Crispi model which she says is more 'user-friendly and compact'. As she explains in her review below. Not only was it more powerful than my previous model, but it also looked sleeker. The Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, launched earlier this year, and is incredibly user-friendly. Comprising CleanCrisp thermal-shock resistant glass containers (in which the food is cooked - there are two sizes) and a heating lid, it also includes Non-Stick Crisper Plates, 2 Storage Lids and a PowerPod Adaptor. But that's not all that's impressive about it. The Ninja CRISPi, as its full name suggests, has four different functions, all of which can be performed in the glass base: airfrying, roasting, recrisping and keeping food warm (once cooked). Naturally, the function I've used most is air frying. Ninja 20% off everything sale £179.99 £ 149.99 Ninja Kitchen UK Buy Here Product Description The Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking is significantly quicker than with my previous air fryer, which is a definite plus. Although I'm still experimenting with recipes, it has a larger capacity than our old model and has made cooking more enjoyable (mainly because it doesn't take forever). I can place vegetables at the bottom and fish on top (on the crisper tray), and they'll cook perfectly in about 15-20 minutes. This is ideal when you're short on time... or if, like me, you're not particularly fond of spending ages in the kitchen. As there are only two of us in my household, I haven't used it to cook for larger groups. However, the device claims to accommodate a 1.2KG chicken and vegetables for up to six people, which could come in handy. That said, some users have reported less success when trying to prepare full meals for 4-6 people using the gadget, so bear that in mind. One person commented: " The only thing that could have been better for us as a family of 4, is making the capacity slightly larger to cook a larger batch." The roasting mode is also incredibly useful, as it uses far less energy than turning on the oven. I've mainly used it to cook one of my favourite complex carbs, sweet potato fries, and am always amazed at how much quicker it is - around 20-25 minutes, depending on the quantity. Cleaning is also a breeze, which is a welcome change from my previous air fryer. The old model had the typical detachable sieve-like tray and base, both requiring cleaning, which was a time-consuming chore - especially as it wasn't dishwasher safe. The Ninja Crispi is sleek, elegant and perfectly compact for small kitchens (Image: Eve Rowlands) However, the Ninja CRISPi has a single glass base, reducing the cleaning task. Plus, it's dishwasher-friendly, which is a significant advantage. I do believe that this machine excels at preparing more substantial meals rather than quick snacks, such as omelettes - something I'd seen people making on social media. After trying it for lunch one day, while the top was wonderfully crispy and delicious, it took over 15 minutes to cook (compared to about seven with my frying pan) and was slightly soggy on the bottom. That's been the only downside of the machine in my opinion. Another potential drawback, according to some, is the price tag of £179.99, which they consider 'quite expensive'. The Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer is available in three different colours: blue, stone, and sage green. Article continues below Ninja Kitchen's air fryer appears to be the only fully glass air fryer available on the market, as far as I can tell. However, if you're not particularly keen on that aesthetic and would prefer something with an oven-door-style design, the Lakeland Slimline Air Fryer Black is currently priced at £89.99. It boasts seven pre-set cooking programmes and includes a clear-view cooking window for monitoring your food. Similarly, the Instant Vortex is available at Argos for £80.

'Sony headphones cuy by £80 are the best price and quality - I wear them every day'
My go-to pair of headphones from Sony have great sound quality but are a lot lighter on the bank balance As someone who loves to listen to music, a quality pair of headphones is essential for comfort and quality. When my Bose headphones started to tire after five years, I bought a cheaper Sony pair, and they are my best buy to date. Known for its quality, a flagship pair of Sony headphones can cost as much as £399 for the newest WH-1000XM6, a set best known for its noise-cancelling, but the price isn't for everyone. Which is where my favourite everyday pair come in, the Sony ULT Wear - and they're less than £100. Dropping in price at Amazon, the pair are now on sale for £99, that's £80 cheaper than its previous £179.99 price. Despite having fewer specs than their superior sibling, the WH-1000XM6 - the ULT Wear offers a lot for the price, and I wear them every day. Perimenopausal woman loses nearly 3 stone in 5 months even though she 'loves food' Top Tech: Sky vs Virgin Media as one sport plan cut to 66p a day and £260 TV for £0 A reliable pair of headphones with a portable - and importantly comfortable - design, and decent noice-cancelling features. I've previously raved about the headphones' foldable feature and accompanying travel case, as it makes them a go-to for travelling. The only thing to note is that they are bulky compared to my old Bose Quiet Comfort pair from 2017. The standout feature of the Sony ULT Wear, at least for me, is the superb bass. It really brings out the lower tones in the bass, making them louder and more pronounced. Of course, this depends on your musical tastes. Bass is perfect for hip hop and electronic music, and these Sony headphones will definitely crank it up a notch. Other brands which offer superb bass include Bose with its Quiet Comfort Ultra pair, now £299.95. They also have an adjustable EQ so wearers can change the volume of specific frequencies of the music or sound. Alternatively, Soundcore also off superb bass with its cheaper AnkerQ30 Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones, now £79.99. You can toggle this feature on and off with a simple click of the clearly marked ULT button. There's also an Ambient Sound Mode, activated by pressing the smaller NC/AMB button on the left side. This lets in subtle sounds from your surroundings, which I find handy when I'm out and about and want to stay aware of traffic and people. If you're in a situation where you want pure, undisturbed sound (and just the music), you can press it again to shut out any distractions - a feature I often use on flights.
