Black Friday deals

Said to myself I wouldn't buy anything, but ended up getting a Ninja HB150 blender for £99 from Amazon, did actually want one eventually and it was a saving of £50. Mind you its still cheaper on there now at £119, so Amazons limited time deal was not as great as they made out if the price was still cheaper than everywhere else anyway.

No problem. They obviously aren't as good as £100+ sets. However they are the best you can buy for under £50 easily. And at only £15 the value for money and sound quality is stupidly good.

If you are after the best then yeah get Sony xm3 for £200 however I'd argue for 95% of people these offer brilliant quality and features.

I've bought 3 pairs now and got rid of a more expensive set for these. I'm going to be giving one away just arrived the other day as a Christmas present.

If anyone can't find a Christmas present this year you cannot go wrong with these for £15-£20.

The review I linked above says it all.

Which Shark did you buy? My V6 is not as good as it was, think battery is on the way out.

We've ordered one as I also got an extra discount with my Blue Light Card, am happy to read this as my Dyson DC04 doesn't seem to be picking up very well, my mate reconditions them so may get him to look at it and then have it upstairs.

This was exactly my experience too. I was intending to have the Shark as a supplement to our existing full size machine (DC33). But going over bits which the DC33 had just been used on, it's pulled out a load more dust. So I think we'll probably just get rid of the old machine and use this for everything.

Oddly enough, the headlights on the Shark are really useful too. The light shining at an oblique angle really shows up any dog hair on the hard floors to make sure you don't miss anything.

Yikes, I succumbed.

Got the Sennheiser HD 599 after checking that it was genuinely the best price over the last couple years

Oh I remember that shock when the dog was moulting and seeing the hairs in the shark headlights on tiles and laminate :eek:

i got a corded one, the NZ801UKT. it's really cool the way you can pull it apart in several different ways for ease of cleaning/carrying etc.

Nothing for me, all the stuff I had on my list were cheaper BEFORE Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

Did exactly the same, freshly vacuumed with out outgoing dyson and the shark had half a tank on the first pass.

Ugley_Matt · 30 Nov 2020 at 16:42

Got the Lego ISS for £2. We all got given a £50 voucher through work so though i should spend that on something useful

But but but Dyson has the power of super-tornado-mega-cyclones, and a well-funded marketing department...?! How can Shark be better?

Do you know if they do the same make but in the sports version? Would use these at work but also need a pair that don't fall out while cycling.

To be fair, my Dyson which the Shark has outperformed is 10 years old, and probably well in need of a good filter cleaning.

Qcy make a lot of different versions however sound quality differs wildly.

The link I posted to scaarbir had reviews of many different types as well as buyer guides.

They have a sports buyers guide. So take a look at that and buy whatever is cheap and highly rated.

I bought the fiil t1x for £59 but honestly the qcy T5's at £15 are better
