Dunelm shoppers love 'stylish' plug-in wall light that doesn't need an electrician

Daily Record13-06-2025
The fixture is ideal for those who don't want to pay out for an electrician to install a wall light - and shoppers are impressed
Dunelm customers are raving about a chic wall lamp that's reportedly a breeze to install. The Churchgate Harby Plug In Wall Light is winning over many shoppers with its simple installation process, thanks to its plug-in cord that eliminates the need for complex wiring by an electrician.
Usually retailing at £40 per light, the store currently has a sale on, reducing the price to just £32. The lights boast an appealing white ceramic glazed head and are finished in antique gold metal.
For those concerned about unsightly wires, the lamp comes with a stylish white twisted cable that looks far more attractive than your average wire.
But Dunelm isn't the only retailer offering this type of plug-in light.
Lighting Direct's Twiga Wall Light, available in black for those who favour a darker interior style, is slightly cheaper at £30.99.
It also comes with a three-year guarantee for added reassurance. Meanwhile, those who detest visible wires might have better luck with retail behemoth Amazon, which sells battery-operated wall lights, reports the Mirror.
The Rechargeable Wireless Wall Sconce Set of 2 costs £49.99 and while they do require recharging, Amazon claims the battery will typically last for 40 hours on low brightness and 18 hours on maximum.
Conveniently, this set includes two E27 rechargeable bulbs as well, saving you additional expense.
One Dunelm light buyer enthused: "Amazing quality and really adds a premium feel to the bedside. Added these to a room refresh for a beachy look and feel and the quality is great. We've had lovely comments already and love the look."
Homewares deal of the week
It's time to give the home a spring refresh and Dunelm has launched its massive sale.
Sometimes it's all about buying necessities for the home, and these Fifi Dining Chairs that have shoppers bagging multiple are now on offer for £31.50, down from £45, saving 30 percent off the RRP.
Crafted with a solid wooden frame, these chairs can easily be paired with many different dining tables and decorated with comfy cushion. Designed with a modern curved backrest with a scallop feature, this chair would be a cute edition to any home.
Currently available in apricot, blue and natural, there are chairs available for people who want to add a pop of colour to their home, as well as those who want to continue a minimalistic design.
This durable seat is said to offer both style and comfort to its users, and is the ideal choice for family meals or entertaining guests. With dimensions of H 80cm x W 44cm x D 52cm, this chair will comfortably fit under a table without taking up too much space.
Back to the Fifi Dining Chair, Dunelm shoppers have awarded the product a 4.5 star rating, with the vast majority of shoppers praising the chairs for their colour and how easy they are to assemble.
One delighted shopper wrote: "I really love this chair! They are super comfy and they look great! They were very easy to assemble."
With another shopper agreeing: "Lovely comfortable chairs! Waiting for them to come back into stock to order two more!"
Buy the Fifi Dining Chairs in the Dunelm sale here.
Another chimed in with praise, stating: "Looks lovely, good quality and easy to install. Would recommend."
A third was equally impressed, saying: "These look lovely in the picture but they are even more beautiful in real life! Easy to install."
Nonetheless, despite the rave reviews and a high 4.7-star average from 148 reviews, a few buyers noted minor issues.
One buyer remarked: "Really nice lamps but was disappointed when it came with silver coloured screws, especially as they are on the wall plate and are seen. Otherwise I like the lamps. I think they are more of a cream than a white."
It's not just lighting fixtures that Dunelm has reduced in its sale, as there is plenty on offer for anyone wanting to give their home a fresh look without breaking the bank.
One way of doing this without a major investment is by getting some fresh bedding and the retailer has certainly got that area covered.
For instance, Dunelm shoppers are loving this floral bedding that features vibrant patterns with bold colours. For something brighter, this "cheerful" gingham pattern may not be on sale, but shoppers are still snapping it up in multiple colours.
Art lovers may want to consider this interesting wall art available for £36.

Brazil's 'soy moratorium' site offline after antitrust ruling setback

SAO PAULO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - A website containing information about Brazil's "soy moratorium," a private agreement enforced by global grain traders to protect the Amazon rainforest from soy-driven deforestation, was taken offline on Tuesday after Brazil's antitrust authority ordered suspension of the pact. The soy moratorium has long been hailed as one of the most successful initiatives to protect the Amazon rainforest because it bars soybean traders from buying from farmers who cleared land there after July 2008. But the General Superintendent of antitrust regulator CADE on Monday ruled that it represents a potential breach of Brazilian competition law. Superintendent Alexandre Barreto de Souza ordered firms to suspend the pact or pay fines after he concluded a preliminary investigation, prompted by a request in August 2024 from the agriculture committee of Brazil's lower house of Congress. A majority of lawmakers in the committee is backed by farmers opposed to the moratorium. On Monday, Barreto de Souza also initiated a full investigation involving some 30 grain exporters and two industry groups on whether the moratorium, which has been in place for 19 years, "constitutes an anti-competitive agreement" involving rival companies. Brazilian soy farmers celebrated the moratorium's suspension as a historic victory. Farmers, however, are not expected to clear big areas of forest to grow soy as that crop has been advancing over pastureland, according to Mauricio Buffon, president of farm lobby Aprosoja. 'We do not believe there will be a drop in soy trade,' he said. Even so, soy traders are now in a bind. People familiar with the thinking of trade groups Anec and Abiove told Reuters they will appeal the suspension of the pact at CADE's tribunal, which is composed of six commissioners, including its president. While CADE may take years to conclude the investigation and issue a final opinion on the moratorium's legality, companies may settle with the agency during the course of the probe. If traders are found guilty of breaching competition law, their trade groups face fines of up to 2 billion reais ($365.60 million). For traders themselves, fines can reach up to 20% of the company's gross revenue in the last fiscal year before the investigation started. ($1 = 5.4704 reais)

'Versatile' 3-in-1 hand blender is cheaper on Amazon even during Ninja sale

'This 3-in-1 Ninja food processor has become one of my most-used kitchen tools.' While many people may enjoy the art of cooking and learning new recipes, it can quickly become a messy ordeal when multiple devices are needed. This can become even more annoying when everything needs to be cleaned after the delicious dish has been eaten. In order to leave at-home chefs with less items to clean, Ninja has combined a few kitchen essentials into one device. The Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender normally retails for £129.99, but it is currently available for £99.99 on the Ninja website. However, for those on the hunt for a bargain and are wanting to save some extra cash, savvy shoppers should instead head to Amazon to purchase the handy device as it is currently down to £79.20 - saving shoppers an extra £20.79 in comparison. Along with the base of the Ninja Hand Blender, shoppers will also get a hand mixer, chopper and hand blender attachments that can easily be switched between at a moment's notice with the hands-free eject button. This will allow shoppers to blend, mix, chop and whisk with ease. While the device is equipped with two blending speeds, five mixing speeds and a turbo option for shoppers to choose between, the 850W base is also able to recognise which attachment has been connected and will offer optimised speed settings for added convenience. It should be noted that the mixing attachment can be used with either two beaters to help quickly mix batters, or with a balloon whisk to help whip cream and beat eggs - both which are supplied with the hand blender. Additionally, shoppers can get a two year guarantee if they register the device with Ninja. Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender £129.99 £79.20 Amazon Buy Now Product Description However, if shoppers are looking for something cheaper, Amazon is also selling the Shardor Hand Blender. Dropped down from £45.99 to £35.13 in a limited time deal This 6-in-1 device comes with anti-scraper blade protection which prevents scratches on pots, pans and other containers. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender for £110. Boasting a powerful 1000W motor, this device is able to provide up to 55 per cent less suction to ensure users enjoy effortless handling and perfect control. Back to the Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender, it currently boasts a 4.6 star rating and is currently one of Amazon's top choices. One happy customer said: "A powerful and versatile 3-in-1 kitchen machine – truly worth the price. This 3-in-1 Ninja food processor has become one of my most-used kitchen tools. It comes with three main attachments: a chopper, whisk/beater, and a purée/mixer, and honestly, all three work brilliantly. "Whether I'm blending soup, whipping cream, or mixing dough, this machine handles everything with ease." While another five-star reviewer wrote: "This is a beast of a kitchen tool & worth every penny. It's built to be tough and powerful. The ease of changing the attachments makes it a pleasure to use. I've got rid of my old beaters, blenders & other electrical baking & making machines as this is tough enough to do all those jobs." However, not everyone was fully impressed by the device, as one person noted: "Not suitable for small blends but otherwise really solid build quality and sturdy." With another mixed reviewer adding: "The only thing I would have really liked to have been included is some sort of storage box to keep everything stowed away neatly together." On the flip side, a top reviewer commented: "I seem to have accumulated lots of Ninja gear over the last few years and this is a really good addition. Very powerful stick blender that I use on soups and pasta dishes. If you've ever tried blending leek and potato soup you'll know that the leeks get caught on the blades. "This one absolutely destroys them. Converting it to hand whisk is really simple and extremely effective whipping up cream in no time. Chopping unit is small but useful for things like onion." Shoppers can buy the Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender for a better deal on Amazon compared to Ninja's own site. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Amazon slashes price of 'godsend' turbo handheld fan in time for the next heatwave

The current summer weather has delivered blistering temperatures reaching over 30°C in some parts of Wales and the UK and so it's happy days for anyone wanting to cool down to find out that Amazon has dramatically cut the cost of an 'incredibly potent' portable cooling device at just the right moment. The Mitreal 3 in 1 Handheld Portable Turbo Fan has been slashed from £89.95 to £12.99 for a limited time - an impressive reduction of 86%. This compact yet formidable cooling gadget for home, work or on the go, currently boasts a 4.7 rating on Amazon, with one customer declaring it among 'their finest purchases ever'. The versatile three-in-one device can be carried whilst mobile, positioned on a surface, or worn around the neck, featuring a 180° adjustable head for directing airflow precisely where needed. The manufacturer also states that the fan has been engineered to be exceptionally lightweight, making it effortless to transport during daily activities, reports Birmingham Live. Its seven-blade turbo construction enables it to achieve maximum velocities of 10000r/m, offering six distinct airflow settings from gentle sleep mode through to powerful gusts, plus a 'summer rescue mode' delivering immediate cooling relief. Additionally, the digital screen displays current settings and power levels in real-time. The device also features a 5000mAh high-capacity rechargeable power source, reaching full charge within three hours whilst providing over 15 hours of uninterrupted operation. The battery performance pledges to endure 20% longer than most comparable handheld cooling devices available. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here One customer review for the Mitreal device states: "Wow! This could be quite possibly one of my best ever purchases! The power on this thing is insane. The fact that the UK keeps having heatwaves, it's gonna be a godsend. Can't wait to have it cooling me down at night." Alternatives to the Amazon hand held fan can be found from Dunelm, who have just unveiled their new 10" White Multidirectional Circulation Pedestal Fan, which customers have praised for its excellent cooling capabilities, retailing at £69. For those looking for an alternative, Currys has slashed the price of the top-tier SHARK FlexBreeze Pro Mist FA300UK Portable 11.8" Hybrid Pedestal Fan and Misting System, bringing it down from £249.99 to a more tempting £219.99. Back to Amazon and the Mitreal 3 in 1 Handheld Portable Turbo Fan and one satisfied customer remarks: "Lightweight, well finished product, easy grip, adjust, fold and pack away when on the move. The fan modes are quite effective and powerful, the fan is almost silent, good battery life and charging speeds. Great for the face and neck region. Adaptable positioning." Another pleased shopper comments: "Great fan for the hot weather. Great fan and quite small so easy to carry when not using in a small bag. We bought to take to a theme park and worked out great. Battery life is great as well." Yet, there was a minor gripe from another user who found the fan noisy at its highest setting, noting: "Small and compact. Also material is good and solid. Has different settings but I guess the highest speed can be a bit loud. Other than that, good and lower levels are also strong enough too. Has strips to hand on your neck. Good idea."
