Apple isn’t known for taking part in many sales, but you can still find some small savings across its laptop range. Here’s the best deal on the 13.6in version of the latest MacBook air, powered by the new M3 chip. In our full MacBook air M3 review, our tester called it “the best general-use laptop you can buy, with gorgeous looks, weight and thickness that are the ultimate in portability, and deeply impressive performance”.

The best affordable electric toothbrush Oral-B makes, the Pro 3 is noticeably less powerful than the iO range but will essentially clean your teeth just as competently as the more expensive brushes”, our tester said, crowning this toothbrush the best overall pick in their review. Featuring different speed settings and a whitening mode, the Pro 3 left our tester with that “‘just been to the dentist’ feeling”. Now, a 60 per cent saving on the toothbrush is something to smile about, too.

The best ereader in our review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the device for being “really exceptional (gaining the top spot in this round-up)”.
“The front light has also been improved recently, to make it subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness. Like the oasis, the paperwhite is waterproof – it’s able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.”

Pet owners, take note of this Furbo dog camera deal
Wondering what your four legged friend gets up to while you’re away from home? This is a deal on Furbo’s 360 dog camera (read: a treat-tossing surveillance tool) that you won’t want to pass up.
![](https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/07/16/22/Furbo-360-dog-camera.jpg?quality=75&width=320&auto=webp 320w, https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/07/16/22/Furbo-360-dog-camera.jpg?quality=75&width=640&auto=webp 640w)
While the team hasn’t tried this latest version of the Furbo 360 dog camera, we have put the previous generation of the pet-friendly surveillance tool to the test. The issue of the fixed position of the camera (our tester’s main sticking point) has been resolved with the new wide-angle lens that rotates to show more of the room and your furry friend.
Other features include motion and barking alerts and the treat-toss technology. Yes, this camera actually fires treats out at the tap of a button. Furbo requires a subscription but the camera itself is 51 per cent off for Prime Day.

This bestselling vacuum cleaner is a no-brainer for pet owners
Looking to upgrade your vacuum? Amazon has slashed the price of a number of its bestselling cleaners from top-rated brand Shark, including this one, which comes with a huge £100 saving.
Shark corded upright vacuum cleaner NZ801UKT: Was £299.99, now £199, Amazon.co.uk
![](https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/07/16/22/Shark-Corded-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner.jpg?quality=75&width=320&auto=webp 320w, https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/07/16/22/Shark-Corded-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner.jpg?quality=75&width=640&auto=webp 640w)
A leading brand when it comes to household appliances, we’re big fans of Shark at IndyBest and this upright cleaner is a real steal. A versatile machine, it comes with some nifty pet-related tricks up its sleeve, including a soft roller that works in conjunction with an anti-hair-wrap brush to catch longer hairs. It also has a handy lift-away feature, which allows the cylinder to disconnect from the body of the vacuum, giving you more flexibility to clean hard to reach places with ease.
