Amazon vacuum cleaner slashed from £200 to £130 'outperforms' Dyson and Shark
Amazon customers has cut 35% off the Smoture VAC02 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Amazon shoppers can save more than £70 on a cordless vacuum cleaner shoppers have said 'outperforms' Dyson and Shark. The Smoture VAC02 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been slashed from £199.99 to £129.97 – a 35% saving.
Amazon is also offering the comparable Smoture VAC01 for £119.99 when applying the £40 voucher on the product page. Both models boast 'powerful' suction capability thanks to their brushless 550W motor, which is said to remove even deeply embedded dust, pet hair and stubborn dirt from carpets and hard floors.
They feature LED lights in the brush head to illuminate hard-to-see dirt and a touch-screen display for easy switching between four cleaning modes. In Auto mode, the vacuum cleaners automatically adjust their suction power to match the floor type, whether that's ramping up the strength for carpets or dialling it down for easier-to-clean hard floors.
They also feature a display to alert users of any blockages and shows the remaining battery life, which can last for up to 60 minutes in Eco mode. The Smoture vacuums are designed with a self-standing feature – allowing them to stand on its own without toppling over – and come with a wall-mounted charging station for convenient storage, reports the Liverpool Echo.
With a 4.8-star rating, the Smoture VAC02 outperforms the 4.2-star rated Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Cordless Vacuum (£349.99). However, this model is said to feature Shark's 'best ever' hair pick up and offers the brand's popular de-tangling brush roll.
The Hoover HF4 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap is another option and has been slashed from £249 to a more affordable £169. This 'Pet' model – which boasts a solid 4.4-star rating – comes with a pet hair tool and an extended crevice tool for reaching those difficult nooks and crannies.
Nonetheless, it's the Smoture VAC02 that's receiving glowing reviews from customers, with 97% awarding it four or five stars. One satisfied shopper said: "I'm really impressed with the Smoture vacuum cleaner.
"It's lightweight, powerful and super easy to handle. It picks up dust, pet hair and crumbs effortlessly, even from corners and carpets. The suction is strong, and the battery life is better than I expected. I also love how easy it is to empty the dust container and clean the filters. Overall, great value for money – it's made cleaning so much quicker and less of a chore."
Another said: "The suction power is excellent – it easily picks up from both carpets and hard floors without needing to go over the same spot multiple times. The battery life is also outstanding, and one feature I really appreciate is the visible battery level indicator, which makes it easy to see how much charge is left at a glance. I've owned Dyson and Shark cordless vacuums, and this one outperforms them in terms of power and usability. It's lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and feels well-designed."
This shopper shared a mixed three-star review, saying: "Great for hard floors but not as good on carpets. The biggest complaint I have is that all the weight is on the top of the handle and hardly any on the base. This puts a lot of emphasis on your arm as you move the cleaner. It's like a workout for your arm."
Meanwhile, a happy customer said of the Smoture vacuum: "I don't usually write reviews, but I am so impressed with this I felt I had to. I have a dog that moults a lot all year round. I thought this vacuum is very reasonably priced and wasn't sure if it would be powerful enough to manage all the dog hair. I'm glad I took the gamble because this is brilliant. It is simple to put together,r and it has good battery life. It has tackled all the dog hairs without any trouble and the attachments are great too."

City dubbed 'Silicon Hills' sees college grads flock there for 'insane' deals including 2 months FREE rent
A Texas city with a booming tech industry has been dubbed the best place for young adults to move after college for its shockingly affordable rental options. Austin, the capital of the Lone Star State, is the ideal location to launch into post-graduate life for its astonishing income-to-rent ratio and significant number of available homes, according to The digital real estate marketplace crunched numbers from 318 US cities in the 50 largest metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 75,000 people, to determine the top 10 rental markets for the up-and-coming demographic. Experts considered affordability for the 25 to 34 age group, number of open rentals, job opportunities in the area and occupation stability. Silicon Hills - a nickname the city earned for attracting business including Dell, IBM, Amazon, Google, Oracle and Apple - earned its spot at the top of that list. 'Austin has always been such a desirable destination for people to move to,' Brad Pauly, the founder of Pauly Presley Realty, told 'Heck, I moved here from Houston 30 years ago and I've never wanted to leave just because it's such a great city.' Every year, Pauly's firm rents out roughly 500 homes in the Austin Metropolitan area. Clients are generally in their 20s and 30s and come to the city for work, he said. 'Austin's always kind of been a 'younger town' because the workforce in tech is younger,' he explained. 'Some are looking for those four-bedroom affordable homes that you can get for around 2,200 bucks a month. And then all the way to your downtown high-rise dwellers, who are just looking for a penthouse in the sky.' He said the Central Texas hub has always been uniquely tailored to a freshly-graduated age group, as there are a variety of outdoor recreational options and a bustling 'party scene'. 'And of course, another thing that a lot of people love about this town is the affordability factor,' he explained. Austin's median rent price is $1,450 per month, $249 less than the national average of $1,699, reported. Earning an average annual income of $95,475 - 15.6 percent higher than the average across the top 50 metropolitan areas - residents can afford a median rent of $2,560. However, the average rent is only $1,470, meaning the city has the lowest rent-to-income ratio on the list. This ratio reflects the portion of someone's income that must go towards rent each month. Austin's is only 18.9 percent, meaning less than a quarter of people's incomes are contributing the their living accommodations, giving residents more freedom with their wages. The average across the top 50 metros is 24.9 percent. Every city that made it to the top 10 places for recent graduates - including Raleigh, North Carolina and Minneapolis, Minnesota - had lower ratios than this average. But what sets Austin apart is its significantly higher vacancy rate than any other city named by Also regarded as the 'Live Music Capital of the World,' 29.4 percent of rentals are available. 'That percentage, I imagine, is going to go up as more and more apartment complexes become available,' Pauly explained, pointing to a housing situation created by the pandemic. During COVID, the Austin area was essentially grid locked in terms of real estate and had 'almost negative inventory', he said. People swarmed Austin from across the country as it was an affordable place to live and had less strict protocols than other places in the US. 'All the occupancy rates for apartment complexes in 2021, 2022 were 99 percent,' the realtor added. 'Austin had almost no inventory in terms of leasing or properties to buy, which is one of the reasons the market appreciated so fast here in such a short amount of time. 'And so at the time it was, 'oh, we need housing, right?' So I can't tell you how many developers started building homes, developing complexes, which are still coming along today.' Developers went into overdrive - and luxurious apartment complexes started popping up throughout the city and nearby areas. Residents also started selling their homes and dropping their leases as COVID eased up, suddenly creating a wide-open housing market. More rental options became available in the capital and its surrounding cities, but less people started moving in, Pauly said. In 2020, roughly 48,800 people from other states moved to the Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area, according to the Austin Chamber of Commerce. But in 2024, under 14,000 people ventured into the city. In fact, Austin was among the top five US cities that people were fleeing from just last year, according to a PODS survey. There was improvement this year, as it was in the top 20 cities with the highest move out rates. Although data shows Austin is a favorable place to rent, it is not an ideal market for prospective home buyers. 'It's mainly due to the higher interest rates. So the Austin sales market is slow right now,' Pauly explained. 'But all that's going to take for that to change is for mortgage rates to come down even a half point. 'You can get some great deals now in Austin. In a lot of ways, it's more cost-effective to rent than buy right now in Austin - especially in apartment complexes.' The Howard apartments is incentivizing renters with two and a half free months of rent. Located in Manor, just about 15 minutes away from Austin, a 575-sqaure-foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is listed at about $1,300 per month. In comparison, renters should expect to pay anywhere from $3,234 to $6,781 for a similar apartment in Manhattan, according to The Lakes apartment complex in Austin is also offering a rent break to lure people in - six weeks of free rent, according to its website. The Prado in Dell Valle, just about 15 minutes away from Austin, is offering 8 weeks without pay. 'It's these lease-up deals. They try as hard as they can to lease up their properties as quickly as they can without reducing the actual effective lease rate by giving free months of rent,' Pauly summarized. But he is not sure how long these sweet deals will last. 'That's the million-dollar question. It really is, because there's still people moving to Austin, even though we had a net loss of residents last year,' he explained.

Shoppers race to buy garden must-have from Amazon that adds instant privacy & perfect for unpredictable British summers
AMAZON is selling a stylish pop up gazebo for less than £60 that is perfect for family gatherings. The Outsunny Pop Up gazebo not only offers instant privacy – it is also popular with online customers. And in another plus for the pop up, it is also a smash hit with consumer organisation Which?, scoring high marks in recent tests. With forecasters predicting a sun-packed summer it couldn't have arrived at a better time, making it a must-have item for BBQs, parties and festivals. It is also the perfect addition for anyone planning an outdoor Father's Day event on June 15. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo is currently on offer for just £55.99 on Amazon. That takes 29% off the original price. It's also been awarded a brilliant 82% score by Which?, with particular praise for how easy it is to assemble. This means there are no tools – or temper tantrums – required. There is also a grey version of the Outsunny Pop Up Gazebo for sale on Amazon, which retails at £79.99. This pop-up shelter is made for unpredictable summer weather. Here are just some of the benefits: The canopy is UV and water resistant. This will provide shade on scorching days and protection when the heavens open. It comes with four zippered side panels – so you can go fully enclosed or keep it open for breeze and mingling. There are other reasons to purchase this gazebo too. This includes its steel frame, which has been powder-coated for durability. The Outsunny 3x3m Pop Up Gazebo even includes eight drainage holes to stop water collecting on top. Its exact dimensions are 2.95m x 2.95 m x 2.58m, with the door at a height of 1.96m. 2 The manufacturer recommends two to three people are on hand to assemble. In addition to this, when you're party's over, it packs neatly into the included carry bag for easy storage and transport. How to have a great – and safe - barbecue If you are planning a barbecue in your garden it is advised you consider how you will get rid of disposable barbecues once you've finished with them. Some areas have dedicated barbecue bins, but you should always ensure your barbecue is fully cooled before disposal by pouring cold water on it, says East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. Other advice includes choosing a location away from buildings, fences, trees, and anything that could catch fire. Ensure the ground is flat and stable, and that the barbecue is placed firmly to prevent tipping. Never leave a barbecue unattended when in use. Keep children, pets, and garden games away from the cooking area. With multiple colour options, it's also easy to coordinate. But be quick, because the most popular shades and sizes tend to sell out fast when the weather forecast starts to change. At such a low price, a proper gazebo like this one is a small investment that could save your whole day – whatever the weather.
