'I use my Shark handheld vac daily - now it's 59% less with one-day deal stack'
I tested Shark's Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum that shoppers can snag for £32.49 for today only - but is it worth it investing in?
A year ago I tested Shark's handheld pet vacuum that promises 'effortless pet hair pick-up' and still use it every day - now shoppers can snap it up for less than half price in a clever deal stack.
When trying to clean up a mess quickly it's much easier to rely on a hand held vacuum rather than getting out a full-sized machine. We now use the Shark Handheld most days around the house - I've found it comes in really handy for quick jobs like picking up stray bits of debris around the cat litter box, and is much lighter than our corded vacuum for a quick spruce-up of the carpet on the stairs - ideal for a quick clean up, particularly if you're in a rush.
For one day only, TopCashback members can secure 25% cashback at Shark Clean. And those who are new to TopCashback can grab a free £15 new member bonus on all purchases over £15. As the Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum usually retails at £79.99 but is currently on offer for £59.99 this means that, until midnight tonight (Friday, May 9), new TopCashback members can effectively snap it up for £32.49 after cashback. Meanwhile, existing members aren't completely left out of the action, as they can also grab one for £47.49 after cashback.
The 25% cashback works site-wide which means shoppers can also use the deal on other products sold by the tech brand - including high spec fans and hair gadgets.
According to Shark's website, the Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum is designed for homes with pets, promising 'effortless pet hair pick-up throughout your home,' with the motorised pet tool to remove embedded hair from cushions, curtains, soft furnishings, car interiors and more.
Unboxing the vacuum last May, I was impressed by how lightweight and ergonomic it was. It has a sleek-looking design and the attachments fit to the unit comfortably without feeling as if you have to force them.
To truly put the Shark through its paces, I had a real challenge in mind - my husband's car boot. Admittedly, this had not been hoovered for a while, and is often used for shipping around our beloved greyhound, who has notoriously fine hair. It gets embedded into sort furnishings very easily, and can be stubborn to shift with any vacuum we've tried to date.
The pet attachment did struggle to pick up debris between the grooves in the base of the car boot. I made repeated passes over them without feeling it had made much of a difference, but it did pick up larger bits like the pine needles well. Where it really shone was on flat pieces of carpet along the edges, and the seat backing, which required fewer passes to lift out the pet hair.
But before I knew it, the battery was dead. This was after about 20 minutes or so working on the car boot with the pet attachment. According to Shark, the Handheld Pet Vacuum can run for 'up to 10 minutes of run-time per charge,' pitching it as being ideal for on-the-spot cleans. It claims the 'no-fade Lithium-ion technology ensures lasting power and performance.' In this respect, it outperformed the promises made by Shark, but a longer run time would be handy for longer jobs like this one.
Having said that, what Shark appears to have done with this handheld model is focus the battery's energy on suction power over runtime - which in my book is more useful for handheld models. I've had cheaper models in the past that run for 30, even 40 minutes, but with incredibly weak suction, to the point I've given up and lugged out our trusty, albeit hefty, Dyson to do the job properly. The Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum is currently on offer for £59.99 from Shark, or £32.49 after cashback via today's deal. Elsewhere, this Tower Optimum Handheld with 79 five-star reviews is currently on offer for £39 on Amazon.

'I got a £16 Cadbury Father's Day gift box for 7p by stacking online deals'
With Father's Day coming up this weekend, shoppers across the nation are busy trying to find the perfect gifts for the father figures in their lives. Popular choices include crowd pleasers such as discounted whiskey and aftershave deals, Father's Day themed skincare collections from brands like LookFantastic and Next, and tech gadgets on Amazon that have been slashed by at least half price, including Samsung's SmartTag2 and Frameo's smart photo frame. For dads who favour edible gifts over accumulating more 'stuff', there are plenty of excellent options still available for delivery in time for the special day. These range from a Father's Day brownie box to a luxurious Fortnum and Mason pork pie adorned with 'Dad ', priced at £14.95 and accompanied by a jar of Piccalilli for an elevated snacking experience. For fathers with a sweet tooth, Cadbury offers a wide array of chocolate favourites in various gifts and hampers to commemorate the occasion. Options span from individual personalised bars to larger gift boxes packed with treats. Ahead of the big day, deal hunter Narin Flanders may have found what could just be the most striking deal yet. The No 1 dad Selection box typically retails for £16, but savvy shoppers can effectively snag one for just 7p by combining several deals with a money-saving website. Cadbury's sought-after 'No 1 Dad' chocolate box, ordinarily retailing at £16 on Cadbury Gifts Direct, can be nabbed for a mere 7p when savvy shoppers use a special TopCashback offer. By signing up for a free membership to the deals platform, customers gain access to a generous £15 welcome bonus on top of percentage cashback options which apply to thousands of retailers, including Cadbury, reports the Manchester Evening News. By buying the item using their TopCashback membership, shoppers will get cashback and the new member bonus added to their account, totalling £15.93. Once the cashback has been paid it can be withdrawn, effectively making the end price just 7p , although there will also be a delivery charge. Cadbury says the No 1 Dad box is one of their best sellers and the double layered, beautifully packaged box can be ordered either to be delivered directly, with an option to add a gift message at checkout, or sent to them to wrap and hand over on the big day. It includes more than half a kilo of chocolate and has bars of various sizes although it also has nine full size bars including Crunchie, Flake, Wispa, Twirl, Double Decker, Curly Wurly and several types of Dairy Milk. The full contents of the No 1 Dad selection box weigh 524.5g and includes: 1 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar 110g 1 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar 45g 1 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate with Caramel Bar 45g 1 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bar 49g 1 x Cadbury Crunchie Bar 40g 1 x Cadbury Twirl Bar 43g 1 x Cadbury Flake Bar 32g 1 x Cadbury Curly Wurly Bar 21.5g 1 x Cadbury Wispa Bar 36g 1 x Cadbury Boost Bar 48.5g 1 x Cadbury Double Decker Bar 54.5g While there aren't reviews specifically for this year's edition of the No 1 Dad selection box, Cadbury Direct proudly holds a 4.6-star average from over 1,400 Trustpilot reviews, with an impressive 85% of all customers giving a full five stars. Customer service appears to be just as tasty as the chocolates, based on the customer feedback. One patron, reflecting on a previous Father's Day purchase, highly recommended the gift: "When I opened it, the packaging was lovely and I liked the gift card idea when they were able to personalise for free. Would definitely buy from them again." Another shopper added: "If you need something special at a reasonable price then this is the site. Who doesn't love Cadbury's and to get a personalised hamper from them is a treat. I've placed a lot of orders this year and everyone I dealt with was really helpful. Any issues and problems were sorted out incredibly quickly." Despite the positive reviews, some customers have raised concerns over delivery and packaging methods. An unsatisfied purchaser remarked: "The three stars is because the gift arrived at the door, my husband took the parcel in which had 'Cadbury Gifts Direct' written clearly on the package. So now he knows he has a Cadbury 'surprise.' (I'm sure the choc will be great)." How to get a Cadbury Father's Day hamper for 7p Sign up to TopCashback for free via this link. Search for Cadbury Gifts Direct on TopCashback, click through and find and buy the hamper normally. Get £15 cashback when you spend £15 or more on any purchase on the site.
