Amazon vacuum falls to new low and is 'exceptional for the price'
Amazon has cut 30% off a cordless vacuum cleaner that shoppers have said is 'exceptional for the price'. The Smoture VAC01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has hit a record low price of £119.50, saving shoppers £50.49 from the usual £169.99 price tag.
This model has also been awarded the Amazon's Choice label, which the retailer uses to flag highly-rated and well-priced products ready for immediate dispatch. The Smoture VAC01 boasts 'powerful' suction thanks to its brushless 550w motor, which is said to remove even deeply embedded dirt.
It has a touch-screen display for switching between its four cleaning modes. Eco, Standard, Boost and Auto. In Auto, the vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts its suction power to match the floor type, whether that's increasing the strength for carpet or reducing it for easier-to-clean hard floors.
The display also alerts users to any blockages and shows the remaining battery life, which can last for up to 60 minutes, or 18 minutes on the powerful boost mode. The Smoture vacuum is designed with a self-standing feature – allowing it to stand on its own without falling over – and comes with a wall-mounted charging station for easy storage.
With a 4.8-star rating, the Smoture VAC01 beats the 4.2-star rated Shark's Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Cordless Vacuum. However, this model is said to feature Shark's 'best ever' hair pick up and offers the brand's popular de-tangling brush roll.
This is also a feature of the Hoover HF9 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap, which the brand will cut from £239 to £139 with the code POWER. This 'Pet Exclusive' model is rated 4.7 stars and comes with a pet hair tool and a long crevice tool
But of the Smoture VAC01, one satisfied shopper said: 'My best buy this year. The build quality is excellent – it is very robust. The wall mount is great without being over fussy and includes a handy tool store. Using the machine is a doddle – it handles copious amounts of dog hair, and I am really impressed with the machine's power. A nice touch is the inclusion of spare filters, fragrance tablets and a handy cleaning tool. Would definitely recommend.'
Another said: 'Fantastic, love this vacuum. It picks up dirt really well and the suction is great for a cordless vacuum. The battery life is fantastic and it's super easy to hold and use. It's a lot better than my old Dyson and I will definitely be purchasing another in the future.'
A third buyer said: 'The best thing about this is how light and easy to manoeuvre it is on all floor surfaces. [The] suction is plenty powerful and the motor is not noisy. The controls are simple and easy to use and the display clear. The lightness of the main unit coupled with the height adjustment feature make doing awkward areas such as stairs and ceilings nice and easy. The build quality is exceptional for the price and all round I'm very impressed.'
However, not everyone is convinced, as this shopper said: 'Nowhere near the same level of suction as a Dyson, but does the job. Decent on hard flooring, picking up bits, but needs more power for carpets.'

Dyson Airwrap leaves hair looking 'better than ever' is cut by £120 in sale
The Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer is the latest version of the viral hair tool, and it's currently on sale for 25% off on Amazon, saving customers a huge £120 Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard of the Dyson Airwrap. The viral hair styler was on nearly every Christmas wishlist last year. However, with a hefty price tag nearing £500, it's safe to say that this product is an investment. But Amazon shoppers are in luck, as the latest model of the viral styler is now a whopping £120 off. The Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer usually sells on Amazon for £479.99, but customers can currently grab one at a 25 per cent discount for £359.99, saving them £120. The new Airwrap i.d. is the latest version of the Dyson product, boasting several technological advancements to protect the hair while styling it effortlessly, reports the Daily Record. With six different attachments, the heated gadget can style the hair in a variety of ways using just one device. The curling attachments claim to adapt heat, airflow and timings to the user's hair type for faster and easier styling. It comes with a large volume-boosting brush that creates endless blow-out styles, as well as a smaller barrel for tighter curls and Bluetooth technology that connects to the Dyson App. 47 Skin's 'life-changing' skincare products for spot-prone teens are now 10% off L'Oreal anti-ageing skincare bundle with 'magic in a jar' cream is now £47 off Its multidirectional barrel can also wave and curl in both directions for unlimited styling possibilities. Those browsing alternative hair stylers may opt for the original Dyson Airwrap Origin for £399.99 on Argos. Beauty fans on a tighter budget may prefer the Shark FlexStyle 4-in-1 Multi-Styler and Hair Dryer for £199.99, also on Argos. However, customers are raving about the latest version of the Airwrap on Amazon, which has earned an impressive 4.3-star rating out of five. One thrilled shopper said: "The Dyson Airwrap took me a little time to figure out (thank you, TikTok tutorials!), but once I got the hang of it, I was hooked. This tool gives me that voluminous, bouncy hair - think Farrah Fawcett vibes - that I could never quite achieve with traditional curlers or blow dryers. "I love that it comes with so many different attachments, giving you tons of styling options in one tool. I've definitely noticed that the smaller curler holds the curls much better than the larger one, especially if you want that all-day look. "It's definitely an investment, but one that's 100 per cent worth it. I've cut down my hair routine by a solid 30 minutes, and my hair looks better than ever." Yet a less impressed shopper said: "Honestly, I am very disappointed. I purchased this on June 17th, and it's now August 8, and it does not work! "I will turn it on and it randomly shuts right off and then goes back on. It's so annoying and I can't do anything with it without shutting off. I paid so much for this to only work for a month." But another satisfied customer said: "I have no hair, so this feels like a very expensive leaf blower, however my partner thinks it is the best thing ever and her hair looks like she's come out of a salon every day. Over time she should know this is less damaging on hair than straighteners."
