ALL GONE

Via MSE Blagged code. Cheapest we've ever seen it

Update Thursday 15 October: This deal has been very popular with our users and now sold out.

Go via this special Vax link* and you can get the Vax Platinum SmartWash upright carpet cleaner for £119.99 delivered, instead of the normal price of £299.99.

The MSE Blagged code MSESMA should be automatically applied, or you can enter it at the checkout stage if not – the code will only be valid through our special link, not via the regular Vax website.

There are 5,000 units available until 11.59pm on Sunday 25 October, or until stock runs out. It's limited to one unit per household.

How good is this deal? This is the cheapest price we've ever seen for this model. At £119.99 delivered, it's £27 cheaper than its previous lowest price of £147 at Amazon in March. The next cheapest price we can currently find is £179 at Currys, and that version doesn't come with the additional tools and accessories included here.

The carpet cleaner is well-rated online. It has a 4.8/5 rating from 9,000+ reviews at Vax, 4.8/5 from 6,400+ reviews at John Lewis, 4.6/5 from 2,700+ reviews at Amazon, and 4.5/5 from TechRadar.

MSE Blagged code

Been eye-ing up Calvin Klein prescription specs or sunnies? You can get a pair for £35 delivered (normally from £95) when using the MSE Blagged code MSE35CK via our SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Saturday 31 October.

The code only works on the Calvin Klein items shown via our link, and you'll need to enter the code in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

  • To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15 to £150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

  • You can enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

  • Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this delivery option free (normally £6.99). SpeckyFourEyes says delivery usually takes 7-20 working days.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page*.

MSE Georgia-May says:

It's tricky to compare prices for these exact frames, as many of them are end-of-line and aren't sold elsewhere – but I reckon £35 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is decent. They normally cost from £95 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Wednesday 23 September, I found some for up to £190 at M&S Opticians.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. As ever, with branded items in particular, be sure to check reviews if it's a retailer you've not heard of.

See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

More info

You can use the code more than once but you can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one pair.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
