Shark vacuum that makes 'quick and easy' work of pet hair now £150 off
Cordless vacuum cleaners continue to grow in popularity, offering convenient cleaning without the hassle of cables. Among the standout models is the Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus IZ400UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, now on offer in a rose gold finish.
Available at Currys for £199.99, a massive saving of £150 off its original £349.99 price, this high-performing vacuum has earned a 4.6-star rating from over 1,000 reviews.
This Shark Stratos vacuum is designed with several standout features. It tackles long, short and pet hair with ease, thanks to the brand's 'Anti Hair Wrap Plus Technology', which prevents tangles as it cleans.
Its Clean Sense IQ system automatically detects dirt and adjusts suction power accordingly, while Anti-Odour Technology keeps your home smelling fresh via a unique cartridge system.
Two motorised brush-rolls in the DuoClean floorhead mean it's suitable for both carpets and hard floors, and LED headlights help illuminate dust in dark corners.
The vacuum also features Flexology, a flexible wand that bends to clean under furniture and folds down for easy storage, and offers up to 60 minutes of run time in Eco mode.
Its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal claims to trap 99.9% of dust and allergens, and an LED Smart Display lets you monitor battery and power levels. The vacuum also includes Boost mode for deeper cleaning when needed.
If you're exploring other cordless options, the Dyson V10 Absolute is also worth a look. Currently available at Argos for £300 (down from £380), it holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 297 reviews.
Another more affordable option is the SunSare Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, now £119.98 on Amazon with a 4.6 rating from 428 reviews. But if it's the no-hassle hair management of the Shark Stratos vacuum you're after, you're not alone, it has users calling it a 'win win all round'.
Here's what users have said. One happy customer wrote: 'Love my Shark, with a dog there is always vacuuming needs doing.
"It's quick, easy and light while doing a good job. So glad I chose this vacuum and the no tangle is an added bonus.'
Someone else said: 'Picks up more dog hair than my corded Shark... I'm so impressed with the way it cleans and how easy it is to use, especially getting under the furniture.'
But not everyone was impressed. One reviewer said: 'Very good pick up but for older people like me it is very heavy with the battery near the handle. It hurts my hand.'
Homewares deal of the week
With summer on the horizon, you'll be wanting to spend more time in your garden relaxing.
To help keep you protected from harmful UV rays, a stylish parasol can really refresh your outdoors space. Fortunately, Asda has just bought back its sell-out item that shoppers can't stop raving over.
The supermarket's highly coveted Riviera Stripe Parasol was so popular when it first launched in 2024 that it apparently "sold out in nine weeks." Now, it can be yours for just £59 when you buy it here.
The supermarket's summer garden staple is said to "bring a slice of the Riviera into any garden" thanks to its trendy striped canopy and intricate tassel edging that offers a "boho touch" to the design.
It's not just a stylish addition to your garden, as the FSC-certified wood pole has a lean function that allows you to tilt the canopy whenever you feel the position sun shift. Meanwhile, the polycotton canopy is said to be "weatherproof", making it suitable for unpredictable UK summers.
Since the Riviera Stripe Parasol sold out within just over two months last year, it's expected that it will be popular once again this year. It's also no surprise to hear that it has managed to amass glowing five-star reviews on the George at Asda website.
One delighted customer wrote: "I'm blown away by how amazing this product is. I've been wanting to get a patterned parasol with a boho touch for a while, but unwilling to spend the £150+ that they normally are. I thought I'd give this one a go, but didn't expect much for the price.
"It is exactly what I wanted. Furthermore it also tips and has a lovely case. It is stylish, good, waterproof fabric and looks like something you would get from a much fancier, 'bespoke' store. I could not recommend it more."
The Riviera Stripe Parasol can be bought online at George at Asda for £59 here.
However, someone else commented: 'I struggled a bit with some of the fitments being a bit stiff. Also could have done with a light to indicate when the battery is fully charged.'
A final positive note came from another buyer: 'Very pleased with my purchase. Very easy and light to manoeuvre. Quick and easy to empty. I use it for cleaning the car. Would definitely recommend.'

Beat the heat: High-performance fans with Amazon delivery
My favourite is Shark's FlexBreeze Hybrid fan, which launched in spring 2024. The head detaches from the pole and turns into a desk fan, so you can use it in different settings. It came in very handy when I was travelling back from the office on a stifling bus. Although I got a few funny looks sitting there with a full-sized fan in my lap, the breeze it generated meant that I had no hoots to give. It's been working hard for its money this summer too, keeping me comfortable despite the succession of heatwaves it has had to blast through.

The 530ml capacity is perfect - not too bulky, but big enough for a satisfying drink." Another happy customer remarked: "USB-C Charging – Convenient and charges quickly.

The USB-C charging is a brilliant feature—it charges quickly and holds power well, letting me make multiple blends on one charge." But not all customers were satisfied with the Ninja Blast, with one buyer voicing their frustration: "I don't understand how this product has decent reviews. It claims to blend ice but clearly can't manage it. "I had one product delivered that on first use broke (solid orange light). I've now got a replacement, it managed to blend milk and egg, first use with any ice and the solid orange light is back. If you want something that can blend drinks with ice, this is not the one." While another had a mixed review. They said: "I've been using this every day for the last 2 weeks for breakfast smoothies and I'm really happy with it. "In terms of the actual blending, it does really well and doesn't struggle with anything (frozen berries, ice etc). It's easy to assemble and while I wish it was a tiny bit bigger, it functions well as a portable blender. "The only issue with it is the battery life. It needs charging every couple of days which is a bit annoying. Considering it only blends for 30 seconds I would expect it to last the week. Easy to clean but make sure you get inside the lid as otherwise it can smell a bit stale." But a delighted buyer said: "Wow what a fantastic little blender. Very easy to setup, quick to blend, very powerful for what it is. I blend fruits with various milks and liquids for use in various things. This little blender does the job effortlessly. "It is easy to assemble, there were no defects, everything lines up and the quality is fantastic. No rough edges no bad joins or rough plastic seams. Once assembled there are no leaks or weak looking areas. Ninja are a brand with a reputation for quality items and this is no exception. The quality is superb."
