Hands Off The Housework

Housework’s obviously out of the question (especially when Mum’s this relaxed) – unless it’s the hands-free variety.

It’s Showtime!

Dim the lights and close strong with some family movie time (let Mum pick the flick for a change). Shoot for Gold Class vibes by optimising your TV set-up with a state-of-the-art sound bar – or invest in a Samsung The Freestyle Portable Smart FHD Projector for cinema-quality films that you can enjoy on a projector screen or any plain white wall. Feeling snackish? Whip up some oozy, air-fried halloumi sticks and crispy, sweet potato chips in the Tefal Easy Fry Classic Air Fryer. With a 4.2 litre capacity and little to no cooking oil required, it’s the healthier way to fry, roast, bake and grill up your favourite foods to perfection.

Time to buy a new vacuum cleaner? You might be wondering … how do I choose? Updating an appliance in your home, especially one as important as your vacuum cleaner, can be a difficult task.

We know, there is a lot to consider, but do not despair – The Good Guys are here to help! Read on to find the best vacuum cleaner for you and your home.
