Best Platinum Jubilee deals
1. Amazon Echo Dot 4th gen (was £50; now £28)
The worthy winner of five stars out of five and a Best Buy award, the highest we can give, the fourth-generation Amazon Echo Dot offers a nifty spherical design, an incredibly crisp sound for the price and all the usual Alexa smarts. For a limited time, it’s down to its second-lowest cost ever of a mere £28 and you can even pick up two for just £45 with the code 2ECHODOT4.
2. Remington Keratin Protect (was £63; now £30)
The Remington Keratin Protect is our favourite hair dryer for creating a high-end shine, picking up four stars out of five and a Recommended award in our review. It’s a versatile machine at an incredible new price for the bank holiday weekend: £30, or 52% down from its RRP of £63.
3. Amazon Kindle (was £70; now £45)
Another piece of outstanding Amazon kit, the most basic Kindle is £25, or 36%, cheaper for the Jubilee weekend. You’re getting a staggering amount of quality for such a low price, as our original five-star review explains. Note that this is for the version with adverts, but, luckily, the model without them is currently £25 cheaper too at £55.
4. Beats Studio Buds (were £129; now £99)
As part of its bank holiday sale, Argos is patriotically serving up delicious discounts on red, white and blue devices. That includes all colourways of the four-star and Recommended award-winning Beats Studio Buds. If you have an Android phone, they offer unbeatable value for money: a super sound, comfortable fit and active noise cancellation.
5. Bosch Rotak 34 R (was £150; now £100)
The Bosch Rotak 34 R is one of our favourite electric lawn mowers: it can tackle all but the very biggest lawns, is very comfortable to push and has plenty of capacity for clippings. It was already great value at £150, which makes this rock-bottom Robert Dyas reduction a real bargain.
6. Oral-B Series 6 (was £300; now £110)
No, that’s not a typo: this Jubilee deal really does save you a jaw-dropping £190 on one of our favourite electric toothbrushes. In fact, we were so impressed with its performance, useful app and handy OLED screen that we awarded the Oral-B Series 6 five stars out of five and a Recommended award. This is one of the best toothbrush deals you’re likely to see.
7. Shark Anti Hair Wrap with Flexology IZ201UKC (was £379; now £199)
Jubilee deals don’t get much better than this Shark steal. Very has chopped a gigantic £180 off the price of the versatile, four-star vacuum, which can rid different surfaces of dust and detritus without the hassle of swapping heads, is easy to fold away and can reach under furniture.
8. OnePlus Nord 2 5G (was £399; now £300)
It’s fair to say that the OnePlus Nord 2 5G blew us away when we first reviewed it. Its combination of spectacular battery life, superb performance, decent still photography and, most importantly, eye-boggling price earned it five stars out of five and a Best Buy award – the highest praise we can bestow. It’s now the cheapest it’s ever been on Amazon at just £300, but be quick while this outstanding offer lasts.
9. iPhone 13 mini 128GB (was £675; now £629)
Here’s a delicious deal on, in the words of our original review, “the best small phone money can buy”: the iPhone 13 mini. This pint-sized marvel scooped four stars and a coveted Recommended award for its boosted storage, impressive cameras and longer battery life. This bank holiday weekend, Argos has lowered the price by a tasty £50.
10. iPhone 13 256GB (was £879; now £819)
It’s not just the smaller version of the iPhone 13 that’s heavily discounted: this weekend, Amazon has slashed the price of the 256GB iPhone 13 by a gob-smacking £60. That makes it just £819 – an incredible discount given the amount of quality you’re getting.
11. Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (was £999; now £849)
One of our favourite tablets and, when you combine it with a keyboard, 2-in-1 convertible laptops, the 128GB version Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is a fabulous £150 cheaper this bank holiday weekend. This worthy winner of five stars and a Recommended award is now just £849, rather than the normal £999 on Amazon.
12. Brook + Wilde Elite Mattress (55% off all sizes)
Our favourite hybrid mattress for side sleepers, the Brook + Wilde Elite, offers a phenomenal amount of support and comfort for the money. And it’s now cheaper than ever, with the company slashing 55% off its price to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend. That means, for instance, the king-size version is just £630, down from £1,399. Phew!
