Amazon's 'powerful' budget cordless vacuum dubbed 'superior to shark' amid £45 price slash
Ultenic's 4.6 star rated cordless vacuum is currently on a Amazon Prime deal, slashing £45 off the retail price.
If your current vacuum cleaner is reaching the end of its life and you are in the market for a budget-friendly hoover that can help you make a big impact on your spring cleaning, then you may be interested in this hoover that has been dubbed "incredibly powerful" by Amazon shoppers.
On top of this, the online retail giant has just slashed £45 off its asking price in an Easter deal for Prime members. The Ultenic U16 Flex Cordless Vacuum Cleaner usually retails for £179.99, but Prime users can now snatch it up for only £135.98 after a 24 per cent discount.
New Prime members can also bag this deal in their 30-day free trial, meaning you won't need to splash any extra cash to get the price reduction. The Ultenic Vacuum is suitable for all floor-types and includes a 'tangle-free" brush as well three suction modes.
The Ultenic Vacuum also comes with a powerful battery life of 60 minutes on low mode or 20 minutes on high mode. The battery life can be easily monitored through the hoover's LED display, which can also be used to adjust which mode you are using.
This cordless vacuum is perfect for getting to all those hard to reach places as it features a bendable tube and a brush that can switch between vertical and 180 degree horizontal positions. You also will be able to pick up more dirt with the Ultenic vacuum as it comes with an LED light and can extend up to 1.2m.
The Mirror reports that their Content Commercialisation Editor Jada Jones previously tried out this Ultenic Vacuum and said it was great for "whisking up dust in hard-to-reach places". She was also impressed by how easy it was to convert the vacuum for a full-sized machine to a handheld device.
From over 2,600 global ratings on Amazon, the Ultenic Vacuum has earned itself a 4.6 star rating, with 90 per cent of reviews awarding the cleaning appliance either four or five stars.
One impressed shopper wrote: "It's incredibly powerful and picks up even the tiniest dust and debris with ease. It works excellently, equally well on my carpet or on my laminate. The Flexible wand makes cleaning under furniture so easy. This vacuum has made my cleaning routine so much more efficient. It's great value for money and I couldn't rate it highly enough."
Another added: "I had a Shark cordless for some years, but couldn't justify the cost of a new one. The Ultenic U16 had all the features of my old vacuum, and charging the battery didn't take long at all.
"I have an indoor cat, so cat litter makes a daily appearance – no problem for this vacuum, on the eco setting, again on hard floors, the eco setting is enough. It picks up well on carpets on the normal setting and very good on the turbo setting. The flexible handle is great for under furniture. All in all, a very good vacuum if not better than my Shark."
A third customer praised: "The U16 Flex vacuum cleaner is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a versatile and efficient cleaning solution. Its lightweight design and flexible construction make it easy to maneuver, even in hard-to-reach areas.
"The suction power is impressive, effectively handling dust, dirt, and pet hair on various surfaces, including carpets and hardwood floors."
While a fourth five-star reviewer also said: "Great value, efficient stick vacuum. I've had numerous big-brand vacuums, and this is far superior. The run time is excellent with three levels of suction power, it's perfect for all floor types. It's not too heavy and is easy to manoeuvre.
"The green light shows you dust you didn't know you had. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a cheaper alternative to big brands."
However, this customer did note a slight problem, adding: "The only downside is it's not easy to empty as fluff gets stuck and the tool provided is useless. I found a fork does the trick perfectly. Also, more tools like a smaller head included in the package would be a bonus, although they are available separately."

May jobs report shows 139,000 jobs were added last month
Before the report's release, economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimated that 125,000 jobs were added last month. Job gains for March and April were revised down by a combined 95,000, portraying a weaker labor market that believed in late winter and early spring. March's total was downgraded from 185,000 to 120,000 and April's, from 177,000 to 147,000. Is the job market good or bad right now? The labor market has held up remarkably well despite the hurdles posed by Trump's economic policies, with employment gains averaging well over 100,000 a month so far this year. But many forecasters reckoned a more pronounced hiring slowdown took shape in May and would intensify in the months ahead. Trump's trade strategy lies at the center of the projected downshift. He paused the high double-digit tariffs he slapped on dozens of countries in April and in May agreed to slash levies on Chinese imports from 145% to a still-elevated 30%. China agreed to broadly similar concessions. But the moves hinge on further U.S. deals with China and other countries. And 25% tariffs remain in effect on all imported cars and many goods from Canada and Mexico. This week, Trump hiked fees on steel and aluminum imports to 50% from 25%. And while a trade court last month struck down many of Trump's tariffs, they remain in effect during an appeal, prolonging the uncertainty for businesses. Economists expect the duties to reignite inflation within a month or two and dampen consumer spending. The costs also have heightened business uncertainty, curtailing hiring and investment. How many federal employees are laid off? The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency has cut as many as 120,000 federal jobs but many workers have been placed on administrative leave, leaving them on U.S. payrolls pending court cases, Morgan Stanley said in a report. Still, the reductions have started to filter into the jobs numbers. Goldman Sachs estimates federal employment declined by a relatively modest 10,000 in May, adding to the 26,000 government workers that Capital Economics says already have been chopped since February. Are there still immigrants coming to America? Besides toughening enforcement at the southern border, the administration has canceled or declined to renew work permits and other protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants, economist Lydia Boussour of EY-Parthenon wrote in a note to clients. That will likely mean a smaller labor supply that further constrains hiring, especially in industries such as construction and hospitality, she said. Some calendar quirks also could have suppressed employment last month. For technical reasons, a late Easter likely boosted payrolls in April but heralds a lower tally for May as staffing levels returned to normal, Morgan Stanley said. Yet while hiring generally has slowed, other economists figured job growth remained sturdy last month as companies frustrated by labor shortages during the pandemic continued to curtail layoffs. Capital Economics and Barclays both predicted 150,000 jobs gains for May. By the end of the year, however, Barclays believes tariffs, federal layoffs and immigration curbs will slow average monthly job gains to about 75,000.

Mum of two in tears as 'TikTok addiction' sends her to prison
Katherine Greenall, 29, spent a whopping £300,000 on TikTok tokens which she went on to gift to her favourite creators after she stole it from a St Helens business A mum was left crying after her " TikTok addiction" sent her to prison. Katherine Greenall, 29, wiped away tears as she was sentenced to 28 months behind bars after stealing an estimated half-a-million pounds from her employer while she worked as an account manager for the car company. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday how Greenall started working for the St Helens-based New Reg Ltd as a services manager in April 2021. Greenall, of Gloucester Street in the same town, was then promoted to accounts manager in December of the following year - which gave her access to business bank accounts. Prosecutor Christopher Taylor detailed how she had been considered as a "vital part of the company's growth", "very organised and capable" and both "trusted and respected", but committed a "significant abuse of trust" in manipulating financial reports that enabled her to siphon off funds into her own accounts. An analysis of her bank statements found during 2023Greenall received a total 53 unauthorised deposits totalling £57,036 from her employer. The same period also saw a "change in her expenditure", including numerous purchases from supermarkets, food outlets, Amazon Prime and sports retailers. The mum also splashed out on family holidays and hotel bookings as well as using stolen cash to pay for a family solicitor. Greenall's criminality went on to accelerate in the early months of 2024. In January that year, she made further four deposits to the tune of £8,917, followed by 10 more in February amounting to £14,916. She went on to pocket a staggering £146,288 in 20 separate payments, which were dwarfed by another 31 transactions in April 2024, giving a £196,364 boost to her bank account. Missing sums of money started to raise suspicions among senior managers. Smaller than expected profits were raised with Greenall during an internal investigation on May 1. She pledged to investigate the matter before returning to her desk and made a "final deposit" of £20,000 into her account, citing a false family illness. Greenall would admit her criminality in another meeting on May 7 and she went on to be arrested on May 13. She claimed the deposits "started small" and that they were used to fund "household purchases." But se later admitted the money had been used to fund TikTok payments, gifting tokens to content creators on the platform. Greenall ultimately swindled a total of £443,523 from the company in 121 separate transactions. She went to spend £301,162 on TikTok tokens with the proceeds being shared between the social media platform and the content creators who got the coins between February 2024 and April 2025, Liverpoo Echo reports. Greenall had no previous convictions. Paul Becker, defending, told the court that his client "may have been suffering from a form of addiction to TikTok", but stated that she had "no formal diagnosis to such an addiction". It is believed her two children, a six-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy with severe ADHD, will be looked after by her sister, a nursery care worker, in her absence. Mr Becker said: "This is fraud on a massive scale. It started out for personal matters. It was not TikTok initially, but it is right to say that the bulk of the fraud went towards TikTok. "It started off otherwise, and it became TikTok. It was not for any sort of financial reward. It was amusement. The more she did it, the more she became addicted to being on TikTok. What she was getting out of it was entertainment. That is what she was paying for. That is where the majority of the money was going towards. "Of course, that came from her employer who is massively out of pocket. It placed the business at risk and other members of staff in jeopardy. This was an abuse of trust on a massive scale. She is thoroughly ashamed of what she has done and has come today prepared for what might be said to be the inevitable. "She did not hold back with the police. She told them chapter and verse. It is not really rational thinking, to embark on this voyage of fraud and misadventure. What started out for her own personal benefit very quickly escalated into providing monies to TikTok. "Bringing up children is not easy. This, I am sure, had an effect on her at the time of the offending. It is perhaps some sort of insight as to why somebody embarks upon this sort of fraud. "It may be said that she was just greedy and wanted a better life and that is why she did it, but one has to have a holistic view of the factors in her life. It must have worn her down. It is not to negate what is deplorable behaviour, but she did not have an easy time. She is, if nothing else, a good mum who has done her best." Greenall admitted to one count of fraud by abuse of position. Appearing in the dock, she wiped away tears while being jailed for 28 months.

Review: 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni has eyes everywhere
Review: 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni has eyes everywhere Camera can monitor all angles, capturing incidents from the sides or rear 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni The dashcam market is a pretty crowded one so it takes something innovative and special to stand out. And the 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni certainy does that - mostly for the good, a little for the bad. An upgraded version of 70mai's unique 360deg dashcam., the 4k Omni's video quality has been upped thanks to a new Sony Starvis 2 IMX678 sensor, which gives crisp 4K footage at up to 60fps and clear views in all lighting conditions. The dual-channel setup includes a rear camera capturing 1080p video at 30fps, providing comprehensive coverage of your car's surroundings. So far, so good, but what really sets it apart is the 360degs bit. This means the camera can monitor all angles, so very useful for capturing incidents from the sides or rear, areas often missed by traditional dashcams. The AI Motion Detection 2.0 system makes the most of this ability by automatically tracking and recording movement around the vehicle. Due to its all-round feature the main unit does look a little unusual as it hangs down from your windscreen. If you're in a large car it's not an issue but the bulbous body can look a little incongruous in a smaller one. Installation is pretty straightforward, although I'm not brave enough to push the cables into the panels. I've always wanted a dashcam professionaly fitted but have found that most installers will only install dashcams you have purchased from them, which is rather annoying. The rear camera is far smaller as you would expect and a more standard design. Finding the perfect spot can be tricky, but this is no different to any other dashcam. The rest of the setup is via the 70mai app, where you can access and manage recordings, plus view live footage and download videos from your phone via wifi. I'd describe the app as 'good enough' with scope for improvement. Some users have complained about a flaky connection, but I didn't run into any troubles on that front. 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni Once on the road, everything ran smoothly. I found the 360deg coverage genuinely reassuring, while 70mai's Night Owl Vision did make a big difference after the sun goes down (especially when it came to reducing glare from oncoming vehicles). Another plus is the 4K Omni can offer 24-hour smart parking surveillance, app alerts, a 'find my car' feature, and real-time tracking, if paired with a 4G kit. What you do get as standard is a 128GB SD card for video storage, plenty for endless recording, and a voice control feature with commands such as 'take a photo', as well as lane departure warnings and collision detection alerts. The standard 4k Omni is available for £299.99 via Amazon with the hardwire 4G kit an optional extra. What users say "Been using this dash cam for a couple of weeks now and really rate it. The 360° rotating lens is proper useful – covers the front, sides, and even inside the car if needed. The 4K front and 1080p rear footage is sharp, even at night. Number plates are clear and there's no weird glare from headlights." "I fitted this kit with 4G hardwire kit and I need to say, that it is great! Night video or picture quality is great! You can check your car remotely inside and outside thanks to 360 head - great ides btw. Really good piece of kit!" Alternatives Article continues below HUPEJOS 360° 4K Dash Cam BOTSLAB 4K Dash
