Why robot vacuum with 'superb' function is a game-changer for families and it's now on sale

If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more As a mum to two young girls, I feel like I spend endless hours cleaning the house only for it to become instantly messy again. It can feel like a cruel joke, but such life with a Kindergartener and a newly minted threenager causing chaos. Mealtimes can be particularly frustrating with dropped crumbs reaching far and wide and the drips of milk splattering the floor feel personal, despite the best efforts to coax behaviours to avoid these very issues. While some families are militant with this kind of mess or maybe they rely on a dog to clean, my current saviour is a robot vacuum and mop and it's currently on sale with nearly $400 slashed from its usual price. What makes the Narwal Freo Z10 a great choice for a family with young children is that it not only boasts an impressive 15,000 pa suction power, but the intelligent mopping system is superb and what makes the robot really standout. The unit features dual rotating mop pads that delivers a deep and streak-free clean of the messiest, most dripped on wooden floors in my house. The vacuum function is great picking up everything from fine dust to small debris and it avoids tangles thanks to two side brushes which loosen hair and transfer to the roller brush. But it's the mopping capabilities where the unit really shines, tackling the biggest spills with ease, even if they've not been addressed as soon as they've happened. 20% off Narwal Freo Z10 now $1,608 Shop The robot uses the 'EdgeReach triangular mop extension' to clean hard to reach places meaning every nook and cranny is covered. The intelligent unit is very thorough and it monitors cleanliness, mopping the area again if dirt is still detected to leave floors sparkling. This is particularly important in my home when I seem to come across a fragment of squished banana or a squashed pea on a worringly regular basis. How long have they been their for? The navigation is a selling point too. The Freo Z10 uses advanced LIDAR navigation and the AI-powered tool mapped my home's layout quickly although it did initially confuse several rooms as one, not that it impacted the cleaning. You can select zones you want to address or block out no go areas you want the robot to avoid in the app, which is incredibly easy to use and to set up. This functionality is great in avoiding any long thread rugs or areas you haven't had time to tidy. As a pretty self-sufficient unit there's little upkeep meaning you have more time to enjoy yourself and worry less about cleaning up Unlike many entry-level robot vacuums, it doesn't bounce around but plots precise cleaning paths, it's very satisfying to watch if that's your thing. The Freo Z10 also avoids obstacles with impressive accuracy, you won't find it banging into furniture and it also avoids toys scattered across the floor, which is commonplace in my home no matter how hard I try to wage a war against it. This advanced navigation does mean that unlike other units I've tried it won't just clean a new space you pop it into, as needs to configure where it is in relation to the base unit, but if you map your home properly at the start this won't be an issue. The Freo Z10 isn't just helpful when it's cleaning, it's also efficient when it's done too. The self-cleaning base station handles mop washing, drying, and dirty water disposal. I've found that because the mop is so efficient I am emptying the dirty water and refilling the fresh water after every other deep clean but I'm more than happy to do that quick job for spotless floors. The need to empty the vacuum debris is much less frequent and obviously With advanced scheduling, you can plan ahead and set and forget to let the robot fit into your plans and you can turn it on when you're away from home, ensuring a tidy home upon your return. The Narwal Freo Z10 is currently on sale for $1,608, usually retailing at $1,999 which is a significant investment, although it's not top tier, but in my experience, you get what you pay for when it comes to robot vacuums and if you want to take advantage of the offer I'd move quickly. Most budget units just don't have the cleaning power required to tackle the mess less by the younger members or furry friends in the family. They get tangled or they get stuck and require assistance and often lose power and suction quickly. I'm all about outsourcing every parenting task that I can, I swore by the Snoo bassinet with my babies and now we're in that messy phase of life, the Narwal Freo Z10 is my current timesaver.

Katie Price reveals daughter Princess, 17, approves her raunchy OnlyFans photos before she uploads them
KATIE Price, 47, has revealed she likes to show her raunchy OnlyFans photos to her daughter Princess, 17, before she uploads them. The mum-of-five famously started her subscription channel back in 2022, when she wore a nun's habit and a sash reading 'My body my rules' at the launch event. 3 3 Earlier this year, Katie revealed exclusively to The Sun that she can earn 'around £50,000 on a good month'. However, until February 2027, the taxman will take 40% of this as part of her first bankruptcy order. Speaking about her raunchy account on Katherine Ryan's podcast, What's My Age Again, Katie revealed that she often gets feedback from her daughter. She told the Canadian comedian: "I show Princess and she's like, 'mum, that's so good, that picture'. This and that. "This is what's funny about Princess. This is probably why we get on.' She went on: "She does her days where she goes out and does her pictures for her Instagram and she's like, mum, can you get eight outfits for me? I said, what, your clothes? "No, your clothes. I went, why do you want to use my clothes? Because your style, you do it better. So, she uses my clothes for her Instagram pictures." Katie recently revealed that she had been encouraging Princess to sign up for Love Island. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, she said: 'I keep saying to Princess, 'why don't you do Love Island?'' Revealing her response, Katie continued: ''No… because otherwise I'll be known as a Love Islander'. I said, 'No you won't, everyone knows you anyway'.' An told The Sun how Princess and her ex - who never revealed his identity during the romance - split on good terms. A source said: "She always kept the romance out of the public eye and it will be the same with her split. "They just grew apart - they were each other's first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings. "He's still on good terms with both Katie and Peter. "Princess is really concentrating on her career right now and there's no place for a man.' Princess' ex has unfollowed her on social media but does still follow all of her family members. It's been a week of highs and lows for Princess, who revealed she'd passed her driving test and showed off her £10,000 car. She proudly declared in the caption: 'I bought my first car' but was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. But Princess has now put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: 'These comments are so funny. "To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx." 3

I DIY-ed a ‘professional' level kids' birthday cake for less than £25 using Amazon & eBay buys – I didn't bake a thing
A MUM has been praised after showing how she transformed a supermarket kids' birthday cake into a "professional" level masterpiece. Ellena, a mum-of-three, wanted something special to mark daughter Gabriella's big day, at a party they were throwing for her and her school friends. 6 6 But instead of forking out for a professional to make a cake for her little girl, she decided to give it a go herself. She took to TikTok to share a look at the process, which she began with a mermaid cake she'd picked up from Tesco for £16. Ellena began with some edible glitter dust, which she sprinkled over the top of the cake for some "extra sparkle". Next up, some "mermaid sprinkles" from Amazon. "You get mermaid tails, you get mermaid shells, beads, you get loads of little different bits in the bottle," Ellena said. "I also put all the colorful beads all the way round like a rainbow type just to make it a little bit different," she said. As the transformation continued, she admitted it made her consider a career change. "This is when I realised that I was actually really enjoying it and just thought to myself, hold on, can I start making cakes?!" For a finishing touch, Ellena popped in a personalised topper she'd bought from eBay. "Here it is - her fifth birthday cake from Tesco with a personalised touch," she said. "And I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I think this mummy did pretty well with this cake guys!" "How to turn a shop cake into a professional cake for under £25!" Ellena captioned her video. This is so pretty mum," one person commented on the clip. "I'm 33 in 1 week - I might buy this cake for myself! "I want it haha, Well done to you for making a beautiful effort for your girl!" "Looks amazing!" a third commented. "You did such a good job," another gushed. Ellena could also guarantee that the cake was going to be delicious, with Tesco saying of it on their website: "Vanilla flavour sponge layered with frosting and raspberry jam, topped with frosting and lustered white chocolate decorations. "Magical mermaids are brought to life in this vanilla flavour sponge cake with under the sea coloured frostings. "Hand topped with lustered white chocolate decorations." 6 6

Bec Judd shares her version of 'elevated mum life' as she poses in activewear ensembles perfect for the school run
Rebecca Judd is a busy working mother - and she has the perfect outfits for her school runs. The mother-of-four showed off her version of 'elevated' looks for women just like her in an Instagram post on Tuesday. The AFL WAG posed in a series of activewear outfits from her own fashion line, Jaggard, along with a caption. 'Mum life but make it elevated. I've been living in these five fits' the 42-year-old wrote. Among the looks was a grey sweatshirt worn with maroon track pants and a black puffer jacket. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rebecca Judd (pictured) is a busy working mother - and she has the perfect outfits for her school runs Bec and husband Chris Judd share four children - Oscar, 12, Billie, 10 and twins Tom and Darcy, eight. It comes after Bec went on a fiery rant as she spoke up to defend women who get plastic surgery, despite long denying she has ever had any herself. The mother-of-four shared an article on the 'uncomfortable' topic of A-list women getting work done and added her own thoughts. 'I am around the same age as Lindsay [Lohan], Anne [Hathaway] and Hilary [Duff]. For the record, I think they look unreal,' she began in her Instagram Stories post. 'Beauty standards for women are just impossible. If you show signs of ageing you have let yourself go. 'If you look too fresh faced for your age, you are accused of getting work done and blamed for promoting vanity when you should just be comfortable with growing old and looking old. '"Oh, but yuck," society says, "Women shouldn't look old." And so the cycle continues. Women can't win.' In a further post, Bec got fired up while defending the right of women to amend their looks as they saw fit—or do nothing at all. 'So here is my take on it—"Let Her". Let her have her hard earned wrinkles from years of smiling. Let her have injectables. Let her have grey hair,' she wrote. 'Let her get her roots touched up every month. Let her skin sag. Let her get a facelift. Let her wear no makeup. Let her look fully glammed. Let her have a natural smile. 'Let her get veneers. Let her have a hairy body. Let her get all the lasers. The list goes on.' Bec added: 'Let her be comfortable in the body she is in because it is her body and her choice and we are all on our own journey with ageing. 'I believe that we all sit on a spectrum of vanity. There's the zero f***s end and the full f***s end (I'm closer to the full f***s end) and no matter where you sit, you do you girl. LET HER.' Bec has long been a beacon of ageless beauty, spruiking skincare brands, facials and non-surgical treatments for her plump visage. For two decades, she has denied having any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure done, instead pointing to healthy living and expensive skincare as her saving grace. Despite the ongoing speculation, Bec has always remained firm on the claim she maintains her glowing complexion using face peels and skincare products.
