Amazon £30 Bluetooth speaker delivers quality sound and is 'so easy to use'
For those who are making the most of the glorious weather by hosting a garden party for their friends and family, one essential item to have available is a portable speaker. While people are chatting away enjoying their drinks and grilled food, the mood can be lifted further with some music in the background.
With so many speakers on the market it can be difficult to choose which device will best fit each person's needs. For those who are looking for a device that won't break the bank but will still deliver quality sound, one of Amazon's top picks may be the right choice.
The RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker normally retails for £32.99 and comes in a range of colours - blue, grey and pink. However, Amazon has made this compact device slightly more affordable as the black edition is currently selling for £29.99.
Equipped with 30W high power full frequency drivers, the wireless bluetooth speaker also comes with an advanced digital processor to create a high-fidelity sound system. If the sound quality still isn't as rich as some people prefer, there is also an extra bass button to provide enhanced sound.
Shoppers will also be able to continue their outdoor party late into the night - as long as they don't annoy the neighbours - because the speaker is able to provide up to 30 hours of playtime per charge. However, Amazon does note that this will vary depending on volume, lighting and music type.
If providing background tunes wasn't enough, this bluetooth speaker also comes with RGB lights that will change with the music. Additionally, the speaker is IPX7 waterproof so it can be fully immersed in a metre of water and still keep on working.
Perfect for outdoor fun, the speaker is also said to be resistant to rain, dust, snow, mud and any accidental spills. Whether used at home or while travelling, this portable speaker will become an essential companion for a variety of occasions.
However, for those who are willing to splash a bit more cash on a bigger brand, Amazon is also selling the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen) for £149. Available in black, grey, green and blue, this speaker can connect to multiple devices at once even if they are nine metres away.
Alternatively, Argos has chopped £10 off the price of the JBL Flip Essential 2 Portable Waterproof Speaker, which currently has a five-star rating. While now only £79.99, this waterproof device can only provide up to 10 hours of playtime.
However, the great value of the RIENOK Bluetooth Speaker has seen shoppers snapping it up. It has been bought more than 2,000 times in the last month and boasts a 4.6-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews.
One delighted shopper said: "I can't believe how good this little Bluetooth speaker is. It's sturdy, a nice design and comes with a C charger cable, AUX cable and a lanyard, which is basically a black shoelace.
"Sound quality and volume are much better and louder than I expected. It is so easy to use. You turn it on, turn your phone's Bluetooth on, select the speaker and Pair! That's it! Highly recommend."
Another added: "I was extremely surprised by the sound quality of this speaker! The bass is pretty rich, great build quality and looks great!
"I'm usually really fussy when it comes to to sound quality leading me to only really buy Bose in the past, but I really just needed something for when I was working on cars or buses so I wasn't going to spend a fortune on anything, so I'd thought I'd give this a try and I'm really happy I did."
However, one shopper experienced a slight issue despite praising the speaker. They wrote: "This is my second purchase of this speaker, my first one is not 12 months old and has blown up ....but the sound out of this speaker is great and is a lovely portable speaker, hopefully this one will last more then 12 months."
Another three-star reviewer wasn't as impressed: "Honestly, it's ok. Nothing amazing. Sound is adequate but nothing outstanding. Seems durable and looks smart. Battery length is good. Wouldn't recommend it to my friends though."
On the flip side, one five-star reviewer has bought multiple speakers. They said: "I bought two and they synchronise easily, sounding great and very simple to use. They are pretty waterproof as well. Highly recommended."
A further shopper also commented: "Have a couple of these. Used one for work (roofer) now for over two years and honestly so good. Been out in all weather, been dropped loads of times. Robust and sound quality great!"

Amazon's Ninja £229 blender shoppers 'who hate cooking' say is 'a blessing' now £174
Amazon shoppers have been raving about a Ninja blender that some say it is a "blessing" for those who "hate cooking". The Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro was £299.99 but is now 24% off with a discount price of £174.21. This means that shoppers can save on £125.78 in this limited-time deal. The blender comes with something Ninja calls "BlendSense technology", which means it can intelligently detect ingredients, portion size, ice, and other things then auto adjust its speed, time, and pulse to produce "perfectly smooth" results. For money-saving tips sign up to our Money newsletter here. The Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro has three appliances in one comprising a space-saving jug blender, food processor, and personal blender. You could use the blender to make iced coffee for your commute in the single-serve cup, mix dough in the processing bowl, or cocktails in the large jug. Additionally the Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro comes with different BlendSense modes and 10 different speeds including a countdown timer and an 'add liquid' notification. It can blend and chop, among other things, with its easy-to-read dial. The Ninja device also comes with a 1200W Motor Base, two-litre jug, and lid with a 1,900ml max liquid capacity. The Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro also comes with 1.8L processor bowl, with a 1.6L max fill capacity, one 680ml single-serve cup with a 644 ml max liquid capacity, a crush or chop blade, an additional chop blade, dough blade, slice or shred blade, and hybrid edge blades. For those thinking about buying the device for their kitchen its dimensions are H: 44.5 x W: 21 x D: 17.5 cm and it weighs 6.3 kg. The same blender is currently discounted on the Ninja website too. Initially priced at £229.99 the Ninja Detect Power Blender & Processor Pro is now £179.99 providing a £50 saving but is still slightly more expensive than the offer on Amazon. Elsewhere shoppers can buy the Tefal Blendforce II Blender, 2L Glass Jug for a much cheaper price, down from £69.99 to £39 in a 44% off sale on Amazon. Shoppers could also nab another renowned big brand in the kitchen - the NUTRIBULLET Juicer for £99.99 at Currys. Back to Amazon and the Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro has received an impressive rating of 4.8 out of five stars and 165 reviews. One pleased customer described it as a "game-changer in the kitchen". They commented: "The Ninja 3-in-1 Detect Power Blender Processor Pro has completely transformed the way I prepare food. With its powerful 1200W motor, it effortlessly handles everything from smoothies to pizza dough. The food processor bowl and dough blade are excellent for chopping veggies and kneading dough — I've made pizza, bread, and even pastry dough with zero hassle. "I especially love the Single Serve Cup for quick, on-the-go smoothies. It's super convenient, and the auto-detect feature ensures the right power is used for each attachment, which takes out all the guesswork. Everything is easy to clean, well-designed, and feels very sturdy. "Whether you're blending, chopping, mixing, or kneading — this all-in-one machine handles it with ease. If you're looking for a powerful, versatile appliance that can do it all, this is a fantastic investment. Highly recommended for any kitchen!" A second one wrote: "As a person who hates cooking this has been a blessing. From making salad to smoothies and margarita and hummus. Love it". While a third reviewed: "I'm so in love with these, especially the food processor. Good quality and blend power". But not everyone was happy with their purchase. One customer noted: "Very good but too noisy", before giving a four star rating. And another shopper had the same issue. They reviewed: "Absolute beast so far. Seems durable and heavy duty. The only downside is that's very loud." However, most of the reviews were mostly positive. "This 3-in-1 Ninja food processor is incredibly versatile, handling everything from blending smoothies to kneading dough with ease," one wrote. "The powerful 1200W motor and durable blades make prep work a breeze, and the one-touch programs simplify everything. Cleanup is easy too, with all removable parts being dishwasher-safe—a must-have appliance!" Another said: "So happy with my new Ninja. Instructions are very clear. Very powerful and really makes all good preparation easier. Good value and expected functionality."

Ring doorbell users switch to 'superb' subscription free device amid 34% price cut
'Everything about this doorcam is great, does everything I wanted and the image quality is superb.' For those wanting to keep an eye on who is coming to your home, whether it be a loved one or a delivery, a video doorbell can be a handy gadget to purchase. Providing a clear image and two-way interactions, shoppers can have added peace of mind while out and about. However, it should be noted that some of the most popular brands come with subscription fees. This means that despite being on impressive deals online to buy the gadget, shoppers will need to spend extra money each month to actually access all of the important features. Thankfully for those looking for a subscription free alternative that promises to provide a quality image, Amazon has dropped the price of a popular product that many shoppers have said they have bought after moving away from the Ring doorbells. The Accfly Wireless Video Doorbell Camera with Chime normally retails for £59.99, however shoppers can now grab it for £39.37 in a limited time deal. Along with having no annual fee, this video doorbell comes with a pre-recorded message feature so shoppers can pick a message to play to their visitors while they are out the house. Boasting a 2K Full HD video, shoppers will be given a 166 degree view to make sure they don't miss anything happening outside their door. On top of this, the gadget is equipped with super night vision which shows images up to 33ft away even in the middle of the night. One frequent complaint by video doorbell users is that their device picks up the motion of people walking in the street, which can lead to constant notifications. In order to combat this and reduce false alarms, the Accfly Video Doorbell allows users to adjust the device's sensitivity and use motion zone settings. Another popular subscription free video doorbell on Amazon is the BOIFUN 2K Video Doorbell Camera. Retailing for £46.99, this device comes with a chime device for extra convenience and is said to have a battery life of up to 90 days. Alternatively, Amazon is selling the Tapo D210 2K 3MP Video Doorbell with Chime at its lowest price of £44.99. Featuring a 160 degree view and up to 180 days of battery life, this doorbell also boasts a IP65 rating, making it reliable for all weather conditions. Back to the Accfly Video Doorbell, it currently has a 4.3 star rating from over 1,700 Amazon shoppers. As one of the retail giant's top choices, over 1,000 shoppers have also bought the device in the last 30 days. One highly satisfied shopper said: "Everything about this doorcam is great, easy to set up, easy to answer callers and review visitors, does everything I wanted and the image quality is superb. Great value for money, only downside Is it is a little bulky but you soon get used to it." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Absolutely amazing product! Most video doorbells require a subscription however this one doesn't! Even works perfectly fine without an SD card however this enhances the experience and security. "Great price for an amazing product! The night vision is impeccable quality as well. The battery life is so good and has lasted approximately two months up to now and still has charge left! Highly recommend!" However, some shoppers had gripes with the device. One person wrote: "Although the ring doorbell does display a very clear picture quality, you can however only view on one device. For me this wasn't what I needed in my household." Tech deal of the week Shoppers looking for a set of budget earbuds are in luck as Amazon has a set that shoppers say work 'as well as Apple Airpods.' The Jxrev Wireless Earbuds usually retail for £24.99, but shoppers can now snap them up for £18.99 in a limited time deal.

Many shoppers have raved over these earbuds, which currently have a 4.3 star rating. One happy shopper said: "These fit brilliantly and once you know what taps to do and when; they are excellent quality, value, usability and size. Great delivery speed too. "They fit my tiny ear canals brilliantly with no discomfort or problem using them. Easy to set up Bluetooth. They were 100 per cent charged which was greatly appreciated."

I've been very impressed with this video doorbell, especially considering the price. "Setup was quick and straightforward — the instructions were clear, and it connected to my Wi-Fi easily.
