Amazon's best deals that are actually good value for money

Amazon is a bit like a sofa seller at times. The online giant always has a sale on something and the discounts are usually available all year round.
From big sale events like Amazon Prime Day, which is likely to take place in July this year, and the massive Black Friday sales to daily 'Lightning deals', Amazon very rarely sells things for their recommended retail prices. It means savvy shoppers can get big discounts on everything from electrical items to fashion and beauty products.
There is also an elephant in the room. Many of the hundreds of thousands of Amazon discounts are not actually that good. For example, an Echo Dot for £25.99 is a good enough deal but it's unlikely to ever go higher than that this year. In fact, it could drop to as little as £13.99 in Prime Day and Black Friday sales and it can be paired with other discounts like the £10 new member cashback offer at Topcashback to reduce the price further. So there is no rush to buy one now.
Other deals such as £180 for a Shark vacuum is another big discount but it will probably be even cheaper in July when Prime Day begins.
Are there any good deals in the Amazon sale? After five years of covering Amazon's sales I have picked out a few that are actually worth snapping up.
Remington Shine Advanced Therapy Hair Straighteners - £25 down from £80.

But don't take the word of anonymous reviewers at face value. Instead, take a look at what my colleague and review expert Rebecca says about the straighteners:
She says: "Straightaway I was amazed with the results.
