Amazon shoppers 'instantly impressed' by 60 second gadget that 'saves boiling kettles'
Amazon customers are singing the praises of a tea making gadget which has garnered over 33,000 reviews. Tea fans will know the joy of a brew first thing in the morning or in the evening to wind down and there's a way to make the whole making process quicker.

The nifty appliance can whip up to eight hot drinks in rapid succession, boiling water in mere seconds. It allows for the dispensing of a single cup of hot water without the need to hoist a cumbersome kettle.
As well as making things easier and quicker for whoever is making the tea, it also helps whoever is paying the bills as it aids in cutting down energy usage by dispensing one cup at a time.
A satisfied customer highlighted the time-saving aspect of the dispenser, stating: "Great as it saves boiling kettles. It's quick, looks good, saves money and very convenient...I love it."
The device is also user-friendly, featuring an adjustable drip tray and a permanent limescale filter, reports Plymouth Live.

Homewares deal of the week
Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise?
Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting."
Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days.
However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation.
It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place.
As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather.
One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!"
Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25.
"After checking my smart meter, I've noticed that I am saving up to £40 or £50 a month. That means it has already paid for itself, which is a great bonus."
However, they did note one issue. They said: "The only small thing to keep in mind is that after making one cup, you may need to wait about 60 seconds before making another."
Someone else found an issue with the noise level. They said: "When it was delivered I was pleased with the way it looked, however when I plugged it in and gave it the initial flush through I was seriously taken aback by the noise it made when the water reached temperature and filled the cup.
"I always get up about an hour or so before my wife and try to be quiet but this was so noisy it would've woken her every morning. It was returned straight away."
But others were impressed with the gadget's user-friendly design compared to hefting a traditional kettle. One reviewer noted: "This water heater is just brilliant! Great for anyone who would struggle to lift a kettle full of water.
"You just put your mug under and press the button. It boiled a mug full of water a lot quicker than boiling a kettle and dispensed it into my waiting mug. I'll honestly never buy another kettle again. Don't hesitate, buy this."

This Bezos-backed EV startup is betting you'll pay extra for a stereo in your petite pickup
July 28 (Reuters) - n Will Haseltine saw images online of a small, boxy electric pickup from startup Slate Auto this past spring, he got on the waitlist right away. The sparse interior and crank windows reminded him of the no-frills pickups he grew up around in Memphis, Tennessee – but he was most enamored with the sub-$20,000 price tag. That price, though, factored in a $7,500 federal tax break, which is set to expire Sept. 30, a casualty of the budget package U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law earlier this month. Now Haseltine isn't sure the truck will fit his budget when it comes out, expected late next year. 'The Slate was the first time that I looked at a car, wanted it, and could also really make it happen," said Haseltine, a 39-year-old musical instrument technician. Without the tax credit, he said: "That's just plain too much." ichigan-based Slate has raised $700 million from investors, including opens new tab founder Jeff Bezos, and has racked up more than 100,000 reservations for its cars. But the company is launching into a tough U.S. market. A few years ago, the electric-vehicle space was awash in hopeful entrepreneurs looking to cash in on the global transition to electric cars. But U.S. EV sales growth has cooled as consumer interest has faded. The loss of federal tax breaks will further hurt demand, auto executives and analysts predict. Like other EV startups, Slate likely faces a long road to profitability. The EV business has proven to be a money loser for most industry players, partly because batteries remain relatively expensive. Even in China, where smaller, inexpensive EVs have proliferated and companies enjoy a cost advantage over Western automakers, most are unprofitable. Slate founders believe the company can overcome those obstacles by offering something that is in short supply in today's U.S. car market: affordability. The average new-vehicle selling price is above $45,000. 'We are building the affordable vehicle that has long been promised but never delivered,' Slate CEO Chris Barman said at a Detroit conference in July. The company has a chance to fill a void left by Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab, which has backtracked on plans to introduce a mid-$20,000s electric vehicle. The startup has taken a bare-bones approach to its two-seat pickup, which is slightly smaller than a Honda Civic hatchback. How bare-bones? A stereo and power windows will cost extra. Slate hasn't disclosed the cost of such add-ons. te's creation started with an idea from Miles Arnone, the CEO of Re:Build Manufacturing, a Massachusetts-based startup that includes several former Amazon employees. Arnone believed workers needed better access to affordable vehicles. Arnone shared his idea with Jeff Wilke, the company's chairman and a former Amazon executive, and eventually, a small team was formed. The group hired Barman, who spent most of her career as an engineering executive at Fiat Chrysler, now part of Stellantis ( opens new tab. Barman told Reuters recently that Slate will be able to absorb the loss of the $7,500 tax credit because the truck's price still will undercut competitors. The company plans to build the pickup at an old catalog factory in Warsaw, Indiana. Executives are taking steps to hold down costs, starting with a simplified design that uses about 500 parts in the truck's assembly, compared with a few thousand for a traditional truck. The plan to build all of its trucks in a basic package – what the company calls a 'SKU of one' – allows customers to choose to add a stereo, center console, special lighting, and other features later. The pickup will be built with composite body panels in gray, with an option for a vinyl wrap. That will sidestep the need for a paint shop, which is one of the most expensive investments in a typical car factory. late's minimalist approach is a leap of faith that Americans will forgo creature comforts they have been increasingly willing to splurge on. Last year, U.S. buyers spent 33% above the base price on average, springing for higher-end trim packages and extra features, according to opens new tab . That was up from 28% in 2014. But there is mounting evidence that new cars are becoming out of reach for many Americans. That could worsen under the effects of the Trump administration's tariffs, which threaten to increase prices on popular budget cars imported from Mexico, Korea and elsewhere. From that standpoint, Slate's price-conscious pickup might be hitting at the right time, said Paul Waatti, director of industry analysis at AutoPacific. 'There's a growing appetite, especially among younger drivers, for vehicles that are more honest, more modular and less over-engineered,' he said. 'Slate taps right into that.' Traditional automakers and startups have found mixed success rolling out larger electric pickup trucks in recent years. Now, startups like Slate and California-based Telo (TELO.V), opens new tab are focusing on smaller electric pickups. In a town hall meeting in early May, Ford (F.N), opens new tab CEO Jim Farley and Executive Chair Bill Ford told employees they admired the company's customer-centered ethos and focus on affordability. Tim Kuniskis, Stellantis' head of American brands, called Slate 'super interesting' at a June event, while also questioning how affordable it would be for some shoppers once they added all the options they wanted. 'The idea behind it, we've talked about that idea a million times,' he said. "It's a cool idea.'

Amazon's 'absolutely amazing' £50 'stylish' smartwatch is now £25
Shoppers said they were 'not disappointed' by this affordable piece of tech that 'looks stylish' Amazon shoppers have been praising a smartwatch that was discounted to almost half its usual price during a sale. People loved that it's a great tool to help "improve your health and lifestyle" and offers a "tough" design. The Blackview Military Smart Watch would cost £49.99, but it has been discounted to just over £25. The "rugged" piece of tech claims to get a full charge within 2.5 hours, which "can last up to 20-30 days in standby and up to 5 days in normal use." The "robust fitness watch" offers all you'd expect from a smart device for a fraction of the price of leading models like Apple and FitBit, like call, text and social media notifications. The watch comes with two "comfortable and skin-friendly wristbands" including a silicone and a nylon option. For the fitness fanatics, the waterproof watch offers a range of "real-time health monitoring functions" to make training and tracking progress effortless. With more than 100 different programmes, the watch can help "meet your different sports needs", Amazon adds. There are similar devices on the market for people wanting an affordable way into the smartwatch world without spending hundreds of pounds. For example, Sports Direct is offering this Karrimor Smart Watch (£19.99, down from £49.99) and the Reflex Active Series 23 Smart Watch from Currys (£39.99), but hundreds preferred this Amazon deal - and the 2,440 five-star reviews speak for themselves. One said: "I wanted an inexpensive Smart Watch and, after a fair bit of deliberating on Amazon, I chose the Blackview watch and I was not disappointed. It looks and feels more expensive than the modest price tag, does everything I need it to do and usually lasts at least a week on a full charge." Another added: "Absolutely amazing watch! It does everything it says on the tin, best part and my favourite part is the battery life. I charged it nine days ago and at the time of writing this I still have 37 % battery left, whereas my wife's brand new Apple Watch needs charging every other day." But, some were unhappy with their purchase though. One claimed: "The step count is out by not 100s of steps but thousands. Atrocious. Please spend a few extra pounds and get a decent one!" Another suggested: "It makes no sound whatsoever for notifications and the vibration is so light it is barely noticeable. Watch is that price for a reason." And, one more put in their review: "A decent watch for the 38 days it worked, currently sat on my wrist randomly vibrating and choosing as and when to show me the display. Not happy!" Despite this, other continued to praise the watch. One person wrote: "Fantastic for the price. People think it is expensive, but when I tell them the actual price, they are gobsmacked." Someone else put in their review: "It is so stylish and nice watch. I like it and always like to look how stylish I am wearing it. The battery backup is fantastic as it run for months. The features provided are excellent. Really good one."

Shark Stratos vacuum and mop bundle with £220 price cut hailed a 'game changer'
The Shark Stratos Cordless Bundle is has been reduced by more than 40% in a 'website exclusive' deal Shark has unveiled a massive price cut of more than £220 on a cordless vacuum and mop bundle. The Shark Stratos Cordless Bundle has been slashed from £519.98 to £297.99, a huge discount of £221.99. The 'website exclusive' deal represents a 42% saving and comes with Shark's Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum and Klik n' Flip Automatic Steam Mop. When purchased separately, both products would cost £349.98 even with their respective price reductions. Shark claims that the Stratos Plus vacuum offers the brand's 'best ever hair pick-up' on both carpet or hard floors. This is aided by Shark's signature anti hair wrap plus technology, which removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans. The feature makes it an ideal choice for pet owners, as this model also comes with a specially designed pet tool for removing embedded hair from furniture. The Stratos also features LED headlights and the 'Clean Sense IQ' function, which automatically adjusts its cleaning power when it detects hard-to-see dirt. Other notable features include a flexible wand for cleaning under furniture and a 60-minute runtime. Alongside the Stratos Plus vacuum, the deal also includes Shark's Klik n' Flip Automatic Steam Mop, which provides a steam-clean for hard floors including tile, hardwood, stone and marble, reports the Express. Shark claims its mop can clean and sanitise 99.9% of common household bacteria, with the Steam Blaster function blasting steam from the nozzle to tackle more stubborn marks. For those on a budget, Amazon's Avalsor Cordless Vacuum Cleaner can be reduced to £103.99 with a coupon on the product page, though it may not offer the same cleaning power as the Shark Stratos. Elsewhere, the Hoover HF4 Hydro Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap (£219) provides both vacuuming and mopping capabilities in one device, thanks to its interchangeable brush and mop heads. However, for those loyal to Shark, the Stratos Cordless Bundle has earned a 4.4-star rating after over 2,100 reviews. One satisfied customer said: "Simply the best. We had a Dyson and I used it on carpet prior to using the Shark. To say I was embarrassed for the Dyson and myself is an understatement. The amount of stuff the Shark picked after being cleaned by the Dyson was unreal. The battery lasts to do the whole house easily. The Clean Sense setting is fantastic. I really like the built in air freshener pods." Another said: "Absolute game changer if you have a dog. Having a large black dog that sheds constantly it is so handy being able to grab this and suck up all the hair in seconds. It's so powerful and battery life is excellent. Only have to charge it every four or five days. It's so handy. Wish I got it years ago." A more mixed three-star review said: "Really good at everything but won't stand up of its own free will. If you need to stop cleaning to move furniture you need to lean it against something or fold it in half." The Klik n' Flip Automatic Steam Mop has also impressed Shark customers, with one five-star review saying: "A great addition to my cleaning tools. Heats up fast and does a great job on my kitchen floor. Would recommend to everyone who is fed up of a wet floor and a mop that needs cleaning."
