Shark vacuum that makes 'quick and easy' work of pet hair now £150 off
The popular Shark vacuum has earned a 4.6 out of 5 star rating from over 1,000 reviews
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.'

There's up to £100 off Sonos smart speakers – here's how to find the best deal
If you've been eyeing up a Sonos smart speaker but wincing at the price tag, now might be the perfect moment to make your move. Amazon, Currys, and the official Sonos store have kicked off a massive sale, offering discounts of up to 28 per cent across the brand's most popular audio gear. Deals include a £100 saving on the Sonos Era 300 (was £449, now £349, one of the most popular mid-sized smart speakers in the Sonos range. You'll also find savings on the smaller Sonos Era 100 (was £249, now £179, and the brand's portable Bluetooth speaker, the Sonos Roam 2 (was £179, now £129, Sonos makes some of the best smart speakers for achieving multi-room audio at home, and despite a high-profile, botched update to the Sonos app in 2024, the brand has begun to rebuild its reputation by continuing to deliver well-made sound systems that are simple to install and control. Kitting out your home with more than one Sonos speaker is still an investment, but if you're expanding your multi-room audio setup or starting from scratch, this sale is your best opportunity to upgrade for less. You can find the discounts over at the official Sonos storefront, at Amazon and across most major online retailers. The Sonos Era 100 replaced the Sonos One as the brand's new go-to compact smart speaker. This isn't just a minor refresh. Sonos has re-engineered the Sonos Era 100 from scratch, now packing in true stereo sound from a single unit, thanks to dual-angled tweeters and a beefier woofer. The result is a surprisingly rich and room-filling audio experience from a speaker with a relatively small footprint, delivering crisp highs and a punchy bass that's a clear step up from its predecessor. Within its cinched-hourglass design, the Sonos Era 300 packs an array of six drivers, including an upward-firing one engineered to deliver spatial audio and an immersive Dolby Atmos experience. Like its Era 100 sibling, connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and a USB-C line-in, alongside support for Trueplay tuning and voice assistants. Right now, there's £100 off the best soundbar Sonos has ever made. My colleague Alex was impressed in his Sonos Arc Ultra review, saying 'bass has been massively improved thanks to the sound motion technology, and dialogue is clearer than ever before. It's sleeker, slimmer, more Android-friendly and, frankly, sounds absolutely epic. Now that the Sonos app is almost back to its best, I reckon it's worth the upgrade.'

Samsung's free watch offer is only available for a few weeks Consumers on the market for a new phone can get a free Galaxy Watch7 when they purchase a Galaxy A56 device. The phone is built with a handful of features designed to make life easier and save customers time, all while coming with a budget price compared to other handsets. The Galaxy A56 costs £499 and has 256GB of storage space. Its top features include a 'Circle to Search with Google ' function, which allows users to circle, highlight, or tap an object or text onscreen to get Google Search results. There's also an 'Auto Trim' feature, where owners can create their own filter or add a retro film effect to photos and videos. It also has a long battery life with the ability to go for up to 29 hours without a recharge. Meanwhile, the 'object eraser' feature improves pictures by removing unwanted distractions in the background. The Galaxy A56 is available in four colours, including light grey, dark grey, pink or green. When shoppers buy the Galaxy A56, they will be offered the chance to get a Galaxy Watch7 free of charge. Worth £289, it is powered by Galaxy AI and tracks a wearer's heart rate, workouts, and sleep. Samsung's free smartwatch offer ends on Tuesday, June 24. It's also available to buy outright on Currys, where there are a number of customer reviews. A buyer described it as 'comfortable and (a) light fit' but noted a drawback with the charger: "I'm disappointed that the charger isn't USB but USB-C, so I had to buy an adapter, but this wouldn't put me off buying again." For customers on a budget, alternatives are on sale for less than £100, including the Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker for £69.99 at Argos. It tracks workouts, running, hiking, cycling, swimming, heart rate, sleep cycles and daily steps. Elsewhere, Amazon offers a Huawei Watch Fit 4 for £149.

Back to Curry's Galaxy Watch7 reviews, another praised the watch's 'good battery life', describing the device as a 'great product'. A third customer had problems with the battery life and sent it for a repair, explaining: "I had to send it back as battery discharge was ridiculous. I got it back and had a software update. It's a bit better but not as good as the Watch 5." An additional shopper said: "My first ever Samsung watch, such a really good watch as I can't really say anything bad about it. But I wish it had longer battery life. Such a good product though." There are also reviews for the watch on Samsung's website, with one buyer commenting: "Battery life lasts 3 days. The display is good. I would recommend it to anyone, I love it." Another said: "I'm very pleased with the watch but the strap could be a bit bigger as it is to small for me."

Nintendo Switch 2 stock sells out fast but gamers can save £185 with this OLED deal
The Nintendo Switch 2 is now available to buy in the UK but retailers including Currys and Very sold out fast. For those who missed out, we found a deal on an OLED model that saves £185 It's Nintendo Switch 2 launch day, and after months of anticipation, the new console has finally landed on shelves across the UK. Some keen gamers queued up overnight to get their hands on a Switch 2 as soon as doors opened, with some retailers hosting a midnight launch for the most dedicated fans. Stock sold out fast at retailers including Currys and Very, while the likes of Amazon, My Nintendo Store and EE are still taking orders. Prices are largely consistent across the board, ranging from £395 to £395.99 for the console, with bundle deals available including the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World for £429.99. However, given that the console is pricey, some shoppers might want to consider opting for the previous Switch models, which have seen a hefty price reduction. The cheapest deal we've spotted is for the red and blue Neon Nintendo Switch OLED, now reduced to £207.60 at Onbuy - £187.40 less than the Switch 2, with the white model priced at £209.99. Over at Amazon, the White Switch OLED is now down to £243.99, while the Neon Switch OLED is £275. We've also found a way to knock up to £210 off the price of a standard Switch by trading in an old console at Very. The retailer will slash the price to £49 when you trade in a PlayStation 5, with discounts also on offer for those swapping an Xbox Series X, Meta Quest 3, PlayStation 4 or vintage gaming gear like Gameboys and Sega Mega Drives. For those seeking a more affordable option within Nintendo's Switch lineup, the Switch Lite stands out as a budget-conscious choice at £166 on Amazon, reports the Express. This model is designed exclusively for handheld play, making it perfect for gamers who aren't concerned about connecting to a TV. But those opting for the Switch OLED model will be treated to a device that has garnered over 2,800 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers. One happy customer of the console: "Not my first Nintendo Switch, but my first OLED version, and the difference really is night and day. The screen is a million times better than the standard Switch and Switch Lite, the games and colours pop so much more and are really vibrant. As you come to expect with Nintendo, there is a brilliant selection of games for all ages. Top tip if buying the white model, invest in a protective shell case for the actual console and Joy-Cons." This gamer highlighted a possible drawback, saying: "I've noticed the OLED generates more heat faster than the original model. I tried dimming the brightness and lowering the volume, but the fan whirred like crazy after two hours. I advise taking breaks here and there from the Switch if in handheld mode." But another satisfied shopper said: "This new updated Switch OLED really is worth the upgrade. It has 64GB of memory, twice what the original Switch has, and the console is faster at updates and loading games. With its OLED screen, it is much clearer to play games on the move and has better battery life too. Overall, it is worth every penny."
