How did the Dyson V11 perform vs the Gtech AirRam?
They’re both among the best cordless vacuum cleaners you can buy, but they take very different approaches to the business of cleaning. I have used both, one at my own home and one at my mum’s.
So, how are they different? Let’s start with our Dyson V11:
Recent Dyson vacs have all sported excellent bin emptying mechanisms and this one’s no exception. The bin itself holds 0.76 litres of dust and debris which may seem small but it’s enough for dusty stair carpet and another big room’s carpet in my house.
It comes with lots of handy attachments for the stairs and webs and skirting boards. It also switches from carpet to hard floor seamlessly. To empty its contents, you simply push down a latch and the outer transparent sleeve jolts down, ejecting everything …

Ovenpride vs. Oven cleaner
Oven cleaning is one of the most dreaded chores when it comes to blitzing the kitchen.
Cleaning the oven can seem like a complex task. You can choose to do it by using the single-use all-in-one deep cleaning product Oven Pride product or if it’s a bigger hassle than you thought then perhaps using a professional oven cleaning company is a better choice.

To get the best results when using Oven Pride to clean your oven, we would recommend leaving the product to work for at least 4 hours.
If it’s convenient, leaving it overnight …

How BookMyGarage saved me over £150 on my car’s service and MOT

Normally I use my car’s official dealership for work, so that I have all the lovely paperwork and also the software updates I need. The time came to book it in and I didn’t have the phone number so looked online and BookMyGarage appeared.
I clicked through as it offered to compare prices, so I thought let’s do it. I put in that I wanted an MOT and interim service and I couldn’t believe it. I was quoted £98.48 for my service and £39.00 for my MOT. I know that I can get an MOT for £28 by shopping around, but my dealership charges over £50 normally. I was a bit suspicious, so I called my …
