Get $200 off this Dyson — plus other vacuum deals to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale
Spring is officially here and with spring cleaning season ahead, it's the perfect time to explore Amazon's Big Spring Sale event. During the weeklong sale, which runs through March 31, you can get popular beauty, tech, home and kitchen items on sale whether you have a Prime Membership or not. Though the sale doesn't offer quite as many strong discounts as Amazon Prime Day, I found some strong discounts on vacuums from popular brands like Dyson, Shark and more.
To find actually worth-it deals on vacuums this year, I combed through hundreds of on-sale models and focused on brands I've covered before and highly rated options. I made a point to consider different vacuum types — like upright, canister and handheld — and since many on-sale items aren't always that good of a deal, I only included options that were 20% off or more. Check back here, as I'll continue updating this list with new deals throughout the sale.

The Soundcore Select 2S Bluetooth Speaker is now just £29.98 on Amazon, offering great sound and portability at 25% off. If you're after a compact and durable speaker that doesn't compromise on sound quality, the Soundcore by Anker Select 2S Bluetooth Speaker could be the perfect fit. Now on offer at £29.98 on Amazon, down from its regular £39.99, this 25% discount makes it a standout choice for music lovers who want portable power without the high price tag. This sleek portable speaker is available in black, blue and white, offering a style for every preference. It's packed with features that make it ideal for both home and outdoor use. With 20W stereo sound delivered through dual full-range drivers, the speaker promises rich audio quality, while Soundcore's exclusive BassUp technology adds an extra punch to the low-end, creating deeper, more resonant bass. Its rugged yet compact build means it easily fits in a backpack, making it a great companion for hiking, travel, or outdoor parties. The IPX7 waterproof rating means you don't need to worry about splashes or rain, and its impressive 16-hour battery life ensures the music keeps going all day. For an even more immersive sound experience, users can pair two of these speakers via True Wireless Stereo. Soundcore, a top-rated brand, has earned 92% positive ratings from over 10,000 customers, and this particular model has a strong 4.7-star rating from more than 1,190 users. With over 100,000 recent orders, it's clear that shoppers are loving what Soundcore delivers. If you're considering other options, the JBL Flip Essential 2 is another well-reviewed model. It's also waterproof and offers reliable Bluetooth performance, with a 4.6-star rating from over 7,600 users, but comes at a higher price point of £68.73. Another alternative is the RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker, currently on offer for £25.49, down from £32.99. It features 30W enhanced bass, Bluetooth 5.3, and a similarly high 4.6-star rating from nearly 30,000 reviews. But if it's the Soundcore by Anker Select 2S you've got your eye on, you're in good company. It has won praise for its balance of performance, price, and build quality. One buyer raved: 'Great value Bluetooth speaker! Solid, heavy feel upon receipt gave me good vibes about the quality of the Soundcore S2… Fantastic tone from the double speakers and once connected through the Soundcore app you can input your own preference with the equaliser… delivers quite a punch sound wise even at near full volume… well worth a look and highly recommended!!' Another said: 'I am somewhat stunned by the performance. Connectivity – simple, sound quality – not at all shabby, volume – more than adequate, value for money – exceptional… Feels quite sturdy… so far so good!'

One customer felt the speaker lacked clarity, writing: 'These things contain tons of bass, and plenty of volume. But the sound quality is poor. There's no treble at all, which means the sound never projects… it sounds dull as anything. Might be alright for an outdoor setting… but you'd never want to listen to music indoors for long.' Another added: 'Bought to use with the TV but sound too muffled with poor top-end frequencies… Bluetooth ok with slight delay… Have gone back to using my Bluetooth Sennheiser headphones.' Despite a few mixed reviews, the overall consensus is clear: for under £30, this speaker offers exceptional value for money. It's a solid option for outdoor use and casual listening, with reliable features and a trusted brand reputation behind it. Get this product HERE on Amazon for £29.98.

Patio cleaner now cheaper than Amazon as shoppers rush to snap up deal from surprise retailer A patio cleaner is a must-have for any homeowner looking to keep their outdoor space looking pristine this summer, and the Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner is now available at a discounted price The patio and deck cleaner is currently on sale (Image: Yimbly ) For households looking to give their outdoor space a bit of a spruce up, investing in a patio cleaner could be just the product to keep seating areas pristine and inviting throughout the summer. Yimbly, the shopping marketplace owned by WalesOnline's parent company Reach plc, is currently offering the Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner at a slashed price of £129.99, down from £149.99. This deal is the most affordable one out there, with Amazon selling the same tool at a reduced price of £135.99. The cordless patio cleaner guarantees a 'powerful performance' with its dual speed settings, ensuring your outdoor area stays spotless and free from dirt or weeds. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here The additional handle ensures optimal control and ease of use, and there's a handy hosepipe connection, allowing the device to be used for both wet and dry cleaning. The patio cleaner boasts a run time of 20 minutes and features interchangeable cleaning brushes capable of reaching into the smallest spaces to eliminate dirt, debris and weeds. As reported by The Express, B&Q is selling a similar product, the cordless Ryobi 18V ONE+ 2Ah Patio Cleaner, priced at £129. This model is perfect for 'tackling weeds and grass amidst bricks, paving slabs, and beyond', and features a telescoping height adjustment handle. The patio cleaner is currently on sale (Image: Yimbly ) The Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner boasts a five-star rating on the Yimbly website. A satisfied customer remarked: "Really pleased with this patio cleaner. It cleaned up all the old paint and dirt off my decking with not too much effort and charged up really quickly." Another user shared: "It has done the job well, particularly my drive which is made up with irregular shaped blocks making it tedious by hand. 100% quicker and less backbreaking with the patio-cleaner." The forward and backward motion allows the brushes to get right into the smallest of crevices to remove debris and weeds (Image: / Yard Force ) Meanwhile, over on Amazon, a pleased buyer commented: "I have used it only twice, but I am very happy with the performance. The battery lasts long enough to clean my entire patio. It's light and super manoeuvrable, it goes forward and backwards without any effort. Water attachment is a big feature as you can scrub your patio and use water for great finish. I am a very happy customer." Not all reviews were positive, however, as one dissatisfied customer commented: "Tried to clean the patio, but it kept stopping and cleaned nothing." The battery provides a 20 minute run time (Image: / Yard Force ) Conversely, another shopper was thoroughly impressed with the Yard Force 20v Patio Cleaner: "Normally I'd be cleaning my deck by hand, which takes quite some doing... With the arrival of this battery-driven brush, it was a much simpler task. It took a couple of charges to cover the whole space, which is a great opportunity to take a break, have a coffee and enjoy the weather. Article continues below "The brush can rotate in either direction, away from you or towards. I found towards easier to control. However, it does fling all the crud over your legs and leaves you soaked, so sunny day shorts and bare feet followed by a shower. What was something that needed doing but was too easy to put off is now easily achievable."

UK broadcasters hail rare win over Netflix in battle for streaming ads
Shows such as Netflix's TV history-making Adolescence and Disney's romp Rivals are among the latest hits to continue the subscriber juggernaut, as the US streamers continue to mount pressure on UK TV broadcasters. However, research reveals that a new breed of viewers being banked on to drive their next era of growth are watching up to 40% less content on some services, giving traditional broadcasters hope that their own streaming services will not ultimately be outmuscled in the battle over the rapidly growing £1bn-plus streaming ad market. It has been two and a half years since Netflix reversed its resistance to advertising, leading the charge to tap a new market as subscriber growth petered out and the cost of living crisis made consumers more open to paying less in return for seeing ads. The strategy has helped breathe life into stalling subscription growth. Netflix added the most customers in a quarter in its history in the final three months of 2024, with 55% choosing its ad-supported package. About a third of its 300 million-strong global subscriber base are now watching with ads. Disney+ followed suit in late 2022 and has since amassed 157 million ad-tier subscribers, including its US-only ESPN and Hulu services. And in February last year, Amazon started automatically introducing ads to the 200 million potential monthly viewers of Prime Video, requiring customers to pay if they wanted an ad-free experience. However, research into streaming households shows that homes that watch with ads are 'lighter' viewers, in the words of one media agency executive, compared with those who pay for higher-priced, ad-free packages. A snapshot of UK streaming in the fourth quarter of 2024 showed that Netflix households with advertising-supported subscriptions watched an average of 22 minutes less content a day than those with an ad-free subscription, a difference of almost 22%. Netflix is estimated to have about 17.6 million subscribers in total in the UK, of whom just over 4 million are on an ad-supported package, according to Ampere Analysis. At Amazon's Prime Video, which is estimated to have about 12 million UK users, the same trend has emerged. Viewers who accepted ads watched an average of 23 minutes less content a day than those who had opted to pay for an ad-free experience – a difference of 44%. While viewing minutes were not available for Disney+ UK subscribers, the research showed it had the narrowest gap, with those on ad-supported accounts watching just five fewer minutes of content a day on average than those paying for an ad-free subscription. Matt Ross, the chief analytics officer at the streaming research firm Digital i, says two distinct types of viewer have emerged, but adds that lower levels of viewing in ad-supported households is partly because those subscriptions also typically offer access on fewer devices. 'We've seen that more engaged viewers typically opt for ad-free tiers, valuing the uninterrupted experience they provide,' Ross says. 'More premium plans offer multiple simultaneous streams, which appeals especially to larger households and families. This combination of premium features and flexibility often results in higher daily activity for ad-free plans.' Nevertheless, the phenomenon of 'light viewers' will be grasped by UK broadcasters trying to stop the deep-pocketed US giants conquering the streaming advertising market in the same way as they have the world of paid subscriptions. 'The appeal of the global streamers' ad tiers to advertisers doesn't stack up against the streaming services offered by British broadcasters,' says one senior TV industry executive. Certainly in the UK, at least, the drive into advertising by the big US streamers has had a mixed reception from the media agencies that buy commercial space for brands. Netflix started with a gung-ho attitude, buoyed up by the success it had had building a huge paid subscriber base and the belief advertisers would leap at the chance to be able to place commercials in its mega-hits for the first time. However, it demanded almost 50% more than ITV or Channel 4's services charge for advertising, alongside a hefty commitment to a minimum spend, despite initially only having a small audience and extremely limited ability to target ads. 'The rollout was a disaster,' says the chief executive of one media agency. 'Take-up was underwhelming, to say the least. They had to try again six months later and lost their lead over rivals and are now behind the curve in terms of pricing, data and reach versus, say, Amazon.' Amazon charges about the same as the public service broadcasters' streaming services, while Disney+ charges more, despite having the smallest base of the big three US streamers, a situation the media executive describes as a 'mad outlier, given their volume'. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Last month Netflix rung the changes, announcing that Warren Dias, the head of UK's ad sales, was to leave after two years in the post. The world's biggest and most profitable streaming service has acknowledged it is still a newbie when it comes to the ad market. 'I think you can say that 2025 is the year that we transition from crawl to walk,' Greg Peters, the co-chief executive of Netflix, said in a recent call with analysts. Peters said overall viewing hours per subscriber on its ads plans internationally was similar to those on its standard non-ad plans, and that it expected to double advertising income this year as it focuses on improving ad targeting for brands. The company launched its in-house ad-tech platform in the US in April and intends to start rolling it out to other markets in the coming months. While UK broadcasters feel the tentative start by the US giants has given them the upper hand in the British streaming advertising, which is putting further pressure on the shrinking £3.58bn traditional TV ad market, there is a sense of foreboding that history may ultimately repeat itself. 'We were successful and revolutionised TV viewing,' says Damien Bernet, the vice-president of ad sales for the EMEA region at Netflix. 'We believe we are going to be able to do the same for ads.' More people visit and watch Netflix than any other streaming service in the UK, and in March it made TV history with Adolescence becoming the first programme on a streaming platform to top the weekly audience charts of all shows aired in Britain. In February, 65% of 18- to 64-year-old internet users accessed Netflix, compared with 59% for the BBC's iPlayer, 48% for Prime Video, 46% for ITVX and 34% for Channel 4's streaming service, according to survey data from Ampere Analysis. The US streamers' ad tier strategies have reignited overall growth, are rapidly increasing the scale and attractiveness of the offering for advertisers, and the cheaper pricing has made users more 'sticky' and less likely to think about cancelling. 'Fundamentally, advertising is a scale game, and in that regard many of the streamers are only just getting started,' says Richard Broughton, a director at Ampere. 'UK and European broadcasters will be far from complacent, given the competition they have faced for viewers over the past decade, but they have only a narrow window to batten down the hatches before they start to feel more pressure across their advertiser base too.'
