'Strong' 100ft hose pipe hailed the 'best ever' by shoppers in limited time deal
This hose pipe is perfect for gardening, washing or cleaning your outdoor area this summer. Even though we are nearing the end of the summer months, many of us want to make sure our gardens are in tip top condition as the sunny season draws to a close. Whether it be watering the flowers and grass, cleaning the patio or giving the car a much needed wash, a garden hose is a must-have piece of equipment to have at your disposal. However, this can't just be any old hose pipe as they can end up being more hassle than they are worth as they develop kinks and get tangled up. In order to have an enjoyable gardening experience, it is recommended households should purchase an expandable hose instead. 4,300 ratings. Boasting a durable and leak-free design, this Yofidra garden hose can expand to 100ft (30m) under sufficient water pressure to provide an easy cleaning and then shrink back to 33ft when no longer in use. Due to its expandability, this hose won't develop any kinks, which allows it to last for longer. Yofidra 100ft Garden Hose Product Description This lightweight hose can also be used for a variety of different needs as it features a 10 pattern spray gun. Whether gardening or cleaning, simply rotate the bezel to choose which spray type you require and you will be on your way. For added convenience, the hose also comes with a hanger to provide simple storage. Additionally if shoppers run into problems with their hose, they won't need to worry as they will be given a 12-month warranty. The company also promises to solve any problems within 24 hours. For shoppers looking for a shorter hose, Amazon has dropped the price of the 50ft Flexi Hose Expandable Garden Hose down to £25.99 (£29.99). Featuring leak-resistant brass fittings, this hose can handle temperatures up to 45C without kinking, cracking or bursting. Alternatively, B&Q is selling the VonHaus Expandable Garden Hose 50ft for £24.99. Featuring 10 spray modes, this hose comes with a handy mount or storage bag to easily hide the hose away when it is no longer in use. Back to the Yofidra 100ft Garden Hose, it currently has a 4.2 star rating from Amazon shoppers, with over 1,000 people buying it in the last 30 days to give their gardens a bit of TLC. One happy shopper said: "Good quality connections, not plastic. Very light weight, even with the hose filled. Read the care instructions before using for longevity. Highly recommend. "Lots of settings for the hose head. Easy to store away. This is my third hose of this type and I can honestly say, the best one yet." Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £12.50. With another five-star reviewer adding: "This is a very strong hose pipe and well worth the money. Wonderful and I can highly recommend it to gardeners." However, not everyone was left fully impressed, as one shopper said: "I was disappointed to find it didn't fit my existing fitting." While another noted: "The hose and fittings work just fine but the outer woven covering started to show fraying even after the first use. It catches on the concrete driveway and paths and it frays. It still does a good job though and I'm quite happy with it." Despite this, a fifth shopper praised: "Wow this is the best hose ever. I have purchased several of these types of hoses over the years, which were okay while they lasted. This one I love, it's easy to use, its brilliant, it's sturdier than my previous ones. "The on off switch is so much easier to use, the various settings are great you can adjust the flow of the water within each setting. The misting setting works wonderfully which it didn't on previous hoses. It's lightweight and has all the advantages of this type of hose, only 10 times improved. Absolutely love it." Amazon has the Yofidra 100FT Garden Hose on a limited time deal. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

And it's one of the cheapest screen washes on the market – with some retailers charging up to a tenner for similar products. Even Halfords and B&Q's versions come in at £7.49, making Aldi's deal an absolute bargain for drivers who want a clear view without the hefty price tag. MORE SPECIALBUYS Aldi shoppers can scoop cut-price household essentials, as well as beauty dupes for luxury brands, with the latest Specialbuys. A dual-zone air fryer from Tefal is priced at around £99.99, while a Ninja version of the gadget is £129.99. Aldi's high-speed blender with accessories is well-priced at £14.99.

Aldi launches fresh Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday. 2 When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible

Ford Puma Gen-E Interior Layout & Technology
Interior What is it like on the inside? The regular Puma was refreshed back in 2024. That brought the new squircle steering wheel seen here, a 12.8in digital instrument display and a 12.0in centre touchscreen, as well as deleting pretty much all the switchgear. The biggest difference is the two-tiered centre console, made possible by the lack of a gear lever and manual handbrake. That allows for more storage, a wireless phone charger and a sliding armrest. At least, if you don't mind sacrificing the rearmost cupholder. There's plenty of large pockets – it's far less poky in here than a Renault 4, for example. Some foam padding where your knees rest would have been nice to cushion out any bumps too. Advertisement - Page continues below Upper spec versions get suede upholstery and B&O speakers, but walking up the trim ladder doesn't add a great deal in the way of materials. Will my technophobe grandma be able to get on with it? Well, the widescreen digital instrument is clear and easy to read, if slightly limited in customisability. And the base colour is brilliant white, which a) looks a touch low rent to us, and b) is a source of glare at night. Ugh. Worse though is that depending on your grandma's driving position, she might find the steering wheel does block the view of the display somewhat. In the centre of the dashboard the high-def infotainment display boasts Ford's latest SYNC 4 system, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus built-in Alexa. So yeah, it's big, meaning she shouldn't have a problem seeing it. We've found it to be laggy though, which might put off younger, less patient generations of driver. Advertisement - Page continues below Will she be able to fit the grandkids in at least? Depends how old the grandkids are. While space is fine up front, in the rear the position of the battery underneath the floor means any lankier teens might find their legs up by their ears. Headroom feels adequate, at least. But the Gen-E's real trump card is its boot, with up to 523 litres making it even bigger than that of the standard Puma. Ford's 'MegaBox' (the deep rubber-lined tub that sits below the boot floor, complete with plughole that allows you to jetwash it out) having morphed into a 'GigaBox'. More room for dirty wellies. Fold the seats down and you get 1,283 litres of space, and if you're still lacking room for gubbins there's always a 43-litre frunk to chuck anything extra in too. Though, we reckon that's best kept for storing and accessing any dirty charging cables.
