Ironing is one of those home jobs that has to be done, so anything that makes it less of a chore is welcome as far as we’re concerned.
This Supreme Steam Iron from Russell Hobbs hits the mark on two counts: it makes short work of creases and it’s currently less than half price! What’s not to like?
It has a long 2m power cable for ease of use, a non-stick ceramic plate and a large 320ml water tank. Use the continuous steam function to glide through wrinkled washing and add a boost with the steam shot for extra-stubborn creases.

6. Maxzzz Luxury Pillows 2 Pack, £29.99 £27.59 (apply 8% voucher)
15
A good night’s sleep is essential if you want to be at your best the next day – and often this can be achieved with something as simple as changing your pillows.
If they’re flat, lumpy, too low or too high then you’re going to feel it in your neck and shoulders, leaving you at less than your best. But upgrading needn’t cost the earth – these hotel-style pillows come in a pack of two and currently have an 8% off voucher that can be applied.
The microfibre filling supports your head while remaining soft and the mess sides help with air flow so you don’t sweat even on summer nights. The hollow fibre structure also means the pillows stay plumped up and don’t go flat.
They’re also suitable for all sleeping positions, whether you’re a back, front or side sleeper.
Maxzzz Luxury Pillows 2 Pack, £29.99 £27.59 (apply 8% voucher)
7. Ninja Double stack XL Air Fryer, £269.99 £249.99

This is a great idea if you have limited counter space in your kitchen – a stacked air fryer that feeds up to eight people yet is 30% slimmer than other models.
It has a 9.5-litre capacity, four cooking levels and six cooking functions: air fry, roast, bake, max crisp, dehydrate and reheat. Choose to cook the same food in both drawers or cook two separate meals – handy if you have fussy kids. You can even cook cakes and biscuits using the bake function, which will also keep the youngsters happy.
The air fryer is supplied with two non-stick crisper plates, two racks and silicone tongs. Just pop the removable parts in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

With cold weather imminent, now is a good time to start thinking about your options for drying laundry indoors – and nothing beats a heated clothes airer.
This three-tier design by BLACK + DECKER holds up to 15kg of washing on 21m of drying space – and costs an average of just 8.4p per hour to run, making it way more economical than relying on a tumble dryer.
‘I’ve now dried quite a few wash loads on this, from bath towels to bedding and clothes. All items dry within 6 to 8 hours. It also warms the room up, so when it’s on, I don’t need the heating on,’ raves one impressed shopper.

9. Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner With Anti-Hair Wrap, £279.99 £189
15
This lightweight, cordless vacuum from Sharp incorporates anti-hair wrap technology, which gets rid of hair from the brush roll as you’re cleaning, so stopping clogs and ensuring maximum pick-up.
The anti-allergen complete seal traps 99.9% of dust, which is especially useful if you have dogs and cats, as pet dander can set off allergies.
The battery lasts up to 120 minutes on one charge so enough to vacuum the entire house or at least several rooms, and there are both hard floor and carpet options for different surfaces. Ingeniously, the wand bends to reach under furniture, saving your back while cleaning those usually hard-to-get-at areas.
You can also convert this model into a hand-held vacuum for upholstery, soft furnishings and stairs.

10. Shark WandVac Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
15
If you think handheld vacuums are generally lacking in suction, then think again – this cordless cleaner is a powerful tool that clears spills and unexpected mess with ease.
It’s not meant to replace your everyday vacuum, rather it’s a device for emergency use – think spilt tea leaves, food crumbs or clumps of dog hair on the sofa. That said, you can also use it as a car vacuum.
It has up to eight minutes of run time, which is enough for clearing spills on the countertop or a quick once-over of the furniture when the dog is shedding.
Store it on its base unit and it will always be charged and ready to go. Comes with a multi-surface pet tool and duster crevice attachment.

11. Simba Hybrid Mattress Double, £999 £899
15
Rated 4.5/5 by Clara Wolsey
Simba is renowned for its mattresses and we’re a big fan here at Sun Shopping – as you can tell from our Simba Hybrid Mattress review. The mix of memory foam and titanium alloy Aerocoil springs delivers a profoundly comfortable sleeping experience so you wake rested and raring to go.
Ahead of Prime Day, you can get your hands on the king size for just under £900 – it’s not cheap but that’s 10% less than the recommended price of £999. For something that’s going to last you years, it’s a savvy investment.
A good mattress is a game-changer – and this mattress is one of the best with our reviewer claiming it had transformed her sleep and she felt more rested than she had done in years.

12. Philips 5400 Series LatteGo Bean Cup Machine, £679 £620
15
Rated 5/5 by Natalie Chui.
There’s nothing better than enjoying a good cup of coffee at home, and when we say good, we mean cafe-quality.
That’s exactly what the Philips 5400 Series Bean Cup coffee machine delivers, and what’s more, it’s slashed by 9% off right now.
We tested this machine in our review of the best coffee machines and it earned five out of five stars due to its ease of delivering premium quality coffee at the touch of a button.
There’s even a customisable function to each coffee option where you can adjust the amount of milk, coffee and liquid in each drink, and this was one of our favourite features as it meant we could always enjoy the perfect cup.
Philips 5400 Series Bean Cup Coffee Machine, £679 £620
13. Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine, £150 £114.36
15
Rated 4.5/5 by Hayley Richardson.
Get your coffee fix, for less, with this great deal on the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine. It’s down 24%, which means you can get your hands on it for just under £115 instead of the regular price of £150.
It’s a favourite here at The Sun and scored almost top marks in our reviews of the best coffee machines because it’s easy to use and delivers barista-style coffee in seconds. The pods are also recyclable which is a big plus for those of us concerned with sustainability.
It takes Nespresso Coffee Pods – which are available online or from Nespresso boutiques – and there are loads of different flavours to savour, from traditional espresso through flavoured options, including hazelnut, chocolate and caramel, to coffee with added vitamins.
Limited editions currently available include Tropical Coconut and Sunny Almond Vanilla Over Ice, specially released for the summer.
The Vertuo Next allows for a range of cup sizes too, such as your 25ml ristretto and your welcoming 230ml mug. There’s also a carafe option, which is ideal for two.

What home and garden deals to expect on Prime Day?
Whether you’re doing DIY or looking to replace a piece of furniture or home appliance, the Amazon Prime Day sale in October – aka Prime Big Deal Days – is a great place to find a bargain.
Amazon has confirmed that the October sale will include ‘early festive deals from brands including LG, Sony and Shark’ – but in the meantime, we’ve listed some unmissable savings above, that are currently live. In some cases, these even rival the prices you’ll see come Prime Day, so make sure you check those out.

Over the event, Prime members will be able to shop an array of exclusive offers including flash offers, which are often referred to as ‘lightning deals’ and are only available for a very limited time or while stock lasts.

What date is the October Prime Day 2024?
Amazon’s next Prime event takes place on 8 and 9 October 2024.
The October sale is dubbed ‘Prime Big Deal Days’ and normally matches (or sometimes even beats) the discounts seen in the retailer’s annual Amazon Prime Day in July.
The upcoming October sale kicks off at midnight on the first day and runs until midnight on the second day, giving Prime members a full 48 hours of discounted shopping across all categories.

During 2020, Amazon cancelled its original July event and replaced it with an event held in October.
Two years later in 2022, Amazon hosted the Prime Early Access Sale on 11 and 12 October, which was the online retailer’s first foray into hosting an autumn event alongside its traditional summer one.
Since then, the autumn event has become a regular shopping fixture for consumers who want to avoid the hectic Black Friday bargain-hunting period.
