Home and Kitchen Guides UK: Appliances, Cleaning and Keeping Warm
Our home and kitchen guides UK hub collects every Smart Pocket Deals buying guide for the kitchen, cleaning and keeping warm in one place. Each guide compares well-known brands sold on Amazon UK, with the live price and stock on the day we checked.
Home appliances are bigger purchases, so we focus on the questions that matter before you buy: how much capacity your household needs, how long a cordless vacuum really runs, whether a robot vacuum can handle rugs and pets, and how to stay warm without heating the whole house.
Pick a section of our home and kitchen guides UK below to find the right one. Many of these appliances are popular in the November sales, so it is worth reading our Black Friday checklist too.

Home and kitchen guides UK: frequently asked questions
What size air fryer do I need?
As a rough guide, a 4 to 5 litre basket suits one or two people, while 6 litres or more, or a dual-drawer model, suits families. Our air fryer guide explains this in more detail.
Is a robot vacuum or a cordless stick vacuum better?
A robot vacuum keeps floors tidy day to day with little effort, while a cordless stick vacuum is better for stairs, cars and quick spot cleaning. Many homes use both.
Are heated throws safe to use?
Use them as the manufacturer instructs, check cables and controls regularly, and replace any that are damaged. Electrical Safety First publishes advice on electric blankets.
