Travellers race to buy £36 portable charger hailed a ‘godsend' on Amazon – and it's just £20 for Prime members
HOLIDAYMAKERS are loving this compact portable charger.
And right now, Prime members can snap up the Veger Portable Charger for just £17.99 in an exclusive deal on Amazon.
With summer holidays fast approaching and most of our lives controlled by our devices, keeping them charged while travelling is a must.
A decent portable charger is right up there with your passport and sun lotion these days, a true travel essential.
I've just spotted a bargain on one that's proving popular with Amazon shoppers.
The Veger 30,000mAh power bank isn't a household name like Anker or Belkin, but that's not stopped thousands of buyers from snapping it up.
Currently climbing the charts on Amazon's list of best-selling portable chargers, it's likely the chunky discount that's helping push it up the ranks.
And at just £19.99 for Prime members, it's a great value for money.
That's a serious saving on a huge-capacity power bank that plenty of users are raving about; over 300 units have been sold in the past month alone.
I haven't tested this one myself, but I can spot solid features when I see them, and this one has plenty going for it.
For starters, that 30,000mAh battery is a beast.
Most chargers in the sub-£20 bracket get you around 5,000mAh (around a full charge of an iPhone).
The Veger has enough capacity to fully charge an iPhone around five or more charges, and around four to six for an Android, meaning you can go days without hunting for a plug socket.
It's also got four charging ports, including one USB-C that can charge your devices and be used to recharge the power bank itself, which means fewer cables in your bag.
You can fast-charge up to four devices at the same time, and the 20W output means it will take you from 0 to 60% in just half an hour.
Plus, there's a handy LED display on the front so you'll always know how much juice you've got left.
The caveat here is it's exclusive to Prime members, but for those of you not signed up, you can get a free 30-day trial and make the most of this deal while you're at it.
It's currently rated 4.4 stars out of 5, and plenty of shoppers are loving it for its value and performance.
One buyer raved: 'Feels premium, I usually get around 6 charges out of it after using it for over a year. Great for travelling or for things like festivals.'
Another agreed, praising, 'I have had this with me over the past month travelling in Thailand and Vietnam, and this thing has been a godsend.
'Charge it up overnight, and it then provides power over the next few days,' they continued.
Our Deputy Editor Matt Breen also just spotted another travel must-have, a 'perfect for Ryanair' underseat cabin bag, now down from £16 to just £10 on Amazon.

Dunelm shoppers 'love' this 'modern twist on a classic style' ceiling light
The 'regal' light fitting is 'selling fast' online and has been rated 4.5 out of 5 by shoppers, being praised for 'looking expensive' Snagging a chic light fixture that radiates luxe without breaking the bank can be tricky, yet Dunelm customers seem to have hit the jackpot with one offering on their website. This sparkly ceiling light is flying off the virtual shelves, dubbed 'selling fast' and accumulating a stellar 4.5 out of 5 rating from enthusiastic reviewers who love its opulent look. The description on Dunelm's site for the in-demand Kleio semi-flush dimmable light fitting doesn't skimp on elegance: "The Kleio semi-flush dimmable light fitting boasts a very classy design. "Featuring three curved sculpted arms with a beautiful glass jewel beads design." The dimensions detailed are H 14cm x Dia 28.5cm. Alternatively, shoppers who are fans of the distinct shiny decor, Amazon is offering a 6-Lights Gold Ceiling Light Chandelier for £18.68 (prices correct at the time of writing). Debenhams sells a similar light to Amazon's gold version, the Geoco modern chandelier is reduced to £35.46. Those who've bought the Dunelm one for their home are showering it with compliments for its glitzy appeal. A thrilled customer said: "Absolutely love this light. Throws out so much light. Wanted a small light fitting and this fit the bill perfectly." Another shopper said: "Arrived very well packed and once up looks stunning. Bulbs are ordered separately and are nice and bright. Really pleased with this pretty item." One customer did say it wasn't the size they thought it would be: "Modern twist on a classic style. A very dainty, pretty light fitting. Smaller than I thought, but I've kept it as I love it so much.", reports the Liverpool Echo. "Absolutely stunning they look more expensive than they are, nice and bright I brought two of these for hallway." However, a common point of contention among reviews is the unexpected compact size of the light, hence buyers should pay heed to the given dimensions.

BaByliss hair straightener that works 'just as well as ghd' drops from £90 to £30
'My wife was absolutely delighted with the BaByliss Rose Gold Styler—a true game changer in her daily beauty routine.' One applicance that everyone should have in their home is a quality set of hair straighteners. This versatile hair tool can both straighten and curl your hair, letting you have complete control of how you will look that day. However, one of the problems with hair straighteners is products from high quality brands usually come with a pretty hefty price tag. And while you want to buy a set that will last you a good few years, it can be difficult to part with your hard earned money. Thankfully, in a limited time deal, Amazon has slashed the price of well known branded hair straightener, saving shoppers £60. Originally priced at £90, shoppers can now snatch up the BaByliss Rose Gold Hair Straighteners for only £29.99. Bought by over 1,000 shoppers in the last 30 days, these BaByliss hair straighteners are said to deliver users effortless styling. With floating ceramic plates, the device will glide smoothly through your hair to get rid of any kinks without snagging, leaving users with silky, straight hair "every time". Featuring three temperature settings, ranging from 180 to 235 degrees, shoppers will have more control over the amount of heat they are putting onto their hair. Additionally, for those in a rush, this hair straightener is said to be ready to use in just 15 seconds due to its advanced ceramic heating system. Along with a heat-proof mat for added safety, this device will also automatically turn off after an hour to give users added peace of mind. And for those who want sleek, smooth hair anywhere, this device will become your perfect travel companion as it is equipped with a built-in multi-voltage functionality. Another set of straighteners that have been reduced by Amazon are the ghd Gold Hair Straightener & Styler. Normally retailing for £189, shoppers can now snatch the styler for £150.30 in a limited time deal. This styler promises to give users a 'salon smooth finish' as it uses dual-zone technology for a premium performance. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Remington Sapphire Luxe Hair Straightener for £35. Along with a three year warranty, these hair straighteners are said to make your hair two times smoother than standard stylers. As well as a ultra-fast 15 second heat up time, this device comes with five temperatures to choose from. Back to the BaByliss hair straightener, Amazon shoppers have awarded the device a 4.6 star rating. With many shoppers praising its sleek design, one shopper noted that they became a 'game changer' for their wife's beauty routine. One happy shopper said: "BaByliss products never disappointed me. Great hair straightener, does exactly what it supposed to do despite me being too lazy of sectioning in small portions the hair, I do divide my hair in two parts literally (right half and left half). "The hair straightener gets hot quickly, has a long cable which gives you enough mobility, only minus I personally do not love the rose pink colour." Another reviewer added: "My wife was absolutely delighted with the BaByliss Rose Gold Styler—a true game changer in her daily beauty routine. From the moment she unboxed it, she was captivated by its sleek, rose gold design. "The elegant finish not only adds a luxurious touch to her vanity but also makes a striking visual statement. Holding it, she immediately noticed its premium quality and the way it felt balanced and substantial, yet surprisingly lightweight in her hand." However, not everyone was overly impressed by the hair tool, as one shopper noted: "Works fine but quite a basic model. The cord attached to the straightener doesn't swivel so gets caught up quite easily. I'd recommend a more expensive one that has more features." With another three-star reviewer adding: "This straightener works well and has a usefully long lead. The location of the control between the arms is a real pain. Much better on the side." Despite this, a happy shopper added: "Bought these for my partner after her last set finally died after 10 years of use. She has used them everyday since and has loved them, very sleek and easy to store, take very little tome to heat up and leaves her extremely thick curly hair looking extremely straight. She says she would definitely buy these over more expensive brands." While five-star reviewer went on to say: "Bought these to replace a set of GHD straighteners and to be honest they work just as well. Only downside is that the pink heat mat/cover is just a little bit small. However, that's forgivable because the product is good." To buy the BaByliss Rose Gold Hair Straighteners, click HERE.

Popular Freeview box receives upgrade that fixes bug wreaking havoc on Netflix, recordings and more
It comes after numerous households were hit by a widespread disruption this week WATCH OUT Popular Freeview box receives upgrade that fixes bug wreaking havoc on Netflix, recordings and more – check yours now Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR Freeview box has received a key upgrade which looks set to fix a bug affecting a slew of features. Manhattan released the software update for its T4-R and T4 Freeview boxes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A new software update looks set to remove bugs from Manhattan's T4-R and T4 Freeview boxes Credit: Amazon The latest version - 2.06 - will finally fix a long-standing standby mode issue that has affected a number of users. The update, which began rolling out this week, addresses numerous stability issues while fixing compatibility problems with popular streaming apps and improving recording reliability on the T4-R. If you've been using Energy Saver mode as a workaround to avoid the standby problems, you can now safely switch back to Sleep or Smart standby modes without fear of your box becoming unresponsive. The upgrade comes after households were warned of widespread Freeview disruption this week that could make their TVs stop working properly. Viewers may switch on their telly to find a black, pixelated or flickering screen as a result of planned engineering works. Some 87 areas are expected to be affected, according to Freeview. Freeview has urged households that the disruption is only temporary and to not retune their TV. "If you are affected by engineering work, please don't try and retune your TV - reception will be restored as soon as the engineering work is completed," the company said. "Occasionally, routine engineering work is required on transmitters in order to improve terrestrial TV services. "While every effort is made to minimise the impact on viewers, this can cause temporary disruption to reception." Clash of Clans coming to Netflix in new animated TV series If you don't want to miss your favourite TV shows while the work is taking place, Freeview has suggested households check out its online TV guide. The Freeview Channel Checker tells viewers what changes are taking place that may affect their service and viewing. To use it, simply enter your postcode to see what will be affected. If you have a hybrid or smart TV, you can watch uninterrupted TV during the engineering works via the Freeview app or website. While Freeview typically requires an aerial, you can access many Freeview channels and on-demand content through streaming apps like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and All 4. If you're not sure what transmitter you're predicted to get your signal from, put your postcode into Freeview's Detailed Transmitter Information tool to check.
