Amazon Prime Day 2 continues today (October 12) and we will be bringing you the very latest deals as they go live

Bargain Amazon devices, discounted air fryers and mega-cheap household essentials are all up for grabs again today (October 12) in the second day of Prime Day.

Amazon has launched their second Prime Day of the year today which will run for 48 hours. Their early access sale yesterday already saw hundreds of items slashed in the sale and now the mega deals arrive today.

For the second time this year Amazon Prime Day is back, giving shoppers access to thousands of money-saving deals and discounts on much-loved household items, kitchen devices, smartphones and popular beauty brands.

The sale takes place for 48 hours on Tuesday, October 11 through to Wednesday, October 12, and is considered one of the biggest shopping events in the global calendar ahead of Black Friday. Only Prime Members can take part in the sale, but there's still time to sign up for free here.

Money-off the Echo Dot, Amazon Fire Stick, three months free music and a massive saving on Kindle e-books has been launched, with many more to come. We'll be looking at the deals as they come in, giving advice on whether the prices are a good saving and a hint as to what is on the way.

Follow our live blog below as thousands of products are reduced this October in the Amazon Prime Day Sale. We'd love to know what products you snap up, let us know below in the comments.

Airpods are a luxury purchase that currently set you back £139 on the Apple website for the second generation buds. However, we’ve come across some lightning deals where you can get similar wireless headphones for a fraction of the price, saving over £100.

First up is this pair of wireless bluetooth earphones which are currently 44 per cent off and under £20, costing £19.99 instead of £35.99. They’re rated 4.4 stars out of five by reviewers, who say they’re just as good as the branded device.

One shopper said: “For around 10% of the price of apple’s AirPods these are a great buy, bought them just for a recent flight but will be using more regularly now as they were more comfortable and performed better than I thought for the price.”

Another added: “Bought these for my holiday, they were ideal, I didn’t want to go the expense of AirPods as I’m not using them on a regular basis. So for the price they are extremely good value.”

Cheaper still are these £15.99 earphones, down from £27.99, and offer 25 hours of listening time - that’s almost a months worth of gym playlists, or a few great audiobooks. You can find the deal here.

Back massages can cost anywhere from £25-45 if you book in with a pro, but there's an at-home device you can use to keep muscle aches at bay, or use post-gym for recovery, that's cheaper than a regular trip to a therapist.

Usually priced at £36.99, the Renpho handheld deep tissue massager is now just £29.59, and has been tried and tested by our team - and it's a pretty great deal.

Here's what we thought:

"I’ve loved using it to work the knots out of my shoulders, and the cordless design with a long ergonomic handle makes it easy to reach the areas you need to, without twisting awkwardly and causing further damage.

"You’d expect the massager to hurt to some degree, but it doesn’t at all. In fact, its percussion technology - which offers up to 3,600 vibrations a minute - is extremely soothing and effective in just 20 minutes. The device automatically stops after 20 minutes to avoid overheating, with the battery lasting around 140 minutes in total.

"As a family of gym-goers, me, my mum and dad have all been fighting over who gets to use it first."

You can buy the Renpho massager for under £30 here.

We also love the Renpho foot massager, which was originally £149.99 and has been slashed by £50.

The foot massager is said to "improve the blood flow, relieve chronic foot pain from plantar fasciitis, and help with neuropathic foot numbness."

Here's what our reviewer had to say:

"I used the Renpho product every night after dinner between 6-9pm when I was winding down after work. It's an incredible product, especially if you train like I do. It helps me to settle after the gym, with cross training and yoga being part of my daily routine every other day I am really enjoying using it to relax my muscles.

"The heat setting is not too hot either which is great, but I would have preferred it a little hotter. Other than that, I don't have a bad thing to say about its functions. If you struggle with circulation, or like me need to unwind in the evenings a little more, this is a great product."

You can pick yours up for £99.99 here.

The Kärcher WV1 has often been used in the Solomon-Swash household, and has featured on Stacey's Instagram stories frequently. It usually comes with a £42.99 price tag, but has been reduced for the Prime Day Sale.

Today only, shoppers can save 21 per cent on the window vac, as it's been slashed to £33.99 - a small price to oay for streak-free windows!

We tried out the lightweight, handheld cleaner for ourselves, and this was our final verdict:

"I was quite surprised at how quiet the window vac was, but its suction was incredibly effective, leaving no streaks behind on the glass. The handheld gadget can even be used on condensation inside the house and even in the car.

"Particularly handy for parents of youngsters, the vac can suck up liquid spills from floors and worktops, before the contents are poured down the sink from the removable tank."

You can purchase the Kärcher WV1 for £33.99 here.

While for some people October would be considered too early to start thinking about Christmas, shoppers happy to get in the festive spirit early can pick up discounted advent calendars inAmazon's Prime Day Sale.

It’s a great way to spread the cost of Christmas, with many discounted ahead of December, with brands like William Morris, Nivea and Cath Kidston.

Here’s some of the best we’ve found in the Prime Day Sale.

The William Morris at Home Christmas Beauty Advent Calendar 2022 featuring 24 scented bath and body treats for £30.24 instead of £45.

Another fab deal is on the NIVEA Advent Calendar 2022, which includes 24 goodies from moisturiser, face wash, shower gel, aftershave balm, lip balms, anti-perspirants, and more for £32 instead of £40, saving 20 per cent

Meanwhile the vegan friendly Cath Kidston A Christmas Sky Beauty Advent Calendar 2022 is down for £45 to £35.60 with 24 beauty treats in 11 enticing fragrances

Super affordable is the Bomb Cosmetics The Bomb Advent Calendar at just £12.85 containing mini bath bombs and soaps. It’s certainly cheaper than Lush’s £185 calendar

Hotel Chocolat - The Advent Calendar for Two contains 48 individual chocolates filled with different alcohol-free flavours including Salted Caramel Cream, Gingerbread Praline, Madagascan Vanilla and Raspberry Rush and is 15 per cent off at £23.38

New for 2022, the Pukka Herbs Days of Joy Herbal Tea Advent Calendar is perfect for unwinding, offering 24 different flavours to try including herbal and fruit teas, traditional brews and matcha green options for £9.73

The ideal gift for gardeners, the Our Grown Seed Advent Calendar allows you to grow 24 different varieties of flowers, whether you're doing so on a windowsill, balcony or in a flower bed, costing £18.74

And finally, there’s 50 per cent off Mr Men Little Miss Advent Calendar Storybook collection containing 24 brilliantly funny illustrated children’s books to count down to Christmas 2022, for less than £10

The cost of living crisis has been key in many people's minds this Amazon Prime Day and we've watched Oodie dupes, heated airers and air fryers fly off the virtual shelves as people try and find ways to avoid turning on the heating and the oven.

Yesterday saw the biggest discounts on premium air fryers like Instant Pot and Tefal Acti-Fry with the latter selling out very quickly.

If you do want to pick up a more reasonably priced option though one of the site's biggest sellers according to their lunchtime update is this Tower family size 4.3 litre model.

It's 21% off, down to £55.55.

Whichever air fryer you plump for, a simple £5 product also being discounted by the internet retailer in the sale has been discussed on TikTok as the ultimate hack to keep your air fryer clean.

TikTok creator, Organized Life Coach, shared a video of her also using an air fryer paper tray which can be thrown away after use. One person commented: "Use them every time, love them."

The Katbite heavy duty air fryer liners are waterproof, greaseproof, extra thick and strong and are currently on offer for £5.32 for a box of 120.

They sit flat beneath the food and, because they're non-stick, cooked food does not end up caught on the trays or baskets of air fryers.

The manufacturer does warn not to use them when pre-heating your airfryer and to not leave it unattended to minimise the risk of burning.

If you're a fan of sweet treats then 25% off Ninja's ice cream maker, the Creami, might be right up your street.

While even at £149 the price tag might seem a bit steep, our reviewer Bethan Shufflebotham reviewed it over the summer and her verdict was that for ice cream fans it's totally worth it, making in her words 'the best ice cream I've ever had'.

Beloved by influencers and ideal for people with food intolerances who need to guarantee their food is dairy free etc, Bethan described it as worth the investment, making ice cream in five minutes.

She said: "It was no mess, no fuss, no faff - the hardest part was the washing up, and even that was a doddle."

Read her full review here or buy your own Creami here.

A range of gins have been reduced in the Amazon Prime Day sale - but there are some serious bargains where you can get bottles for under £20. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites - many of which have been tried and tested by the team, too!

You can currently get this BULLDOG Gin London Dry Gin for £16.99 instead of £24, saving £7.01, offering notes of poppy, dragon eye, lotus leaves, citrus, almond and lavender with a crisp finish.

Meanwhile, the popular Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin, which has more than 8.000 five star reviews, is down £6 from £26 to £20, while their Pink Apricot Gin is now £18 instead of £26.

Peaky Blinder fans can get their Spiced Dry Gin for £16.95 which is a whopping 35 per cent of the RRP of £26. We recommend garnishing with a slice of orange for this one!

Those looking for something a little bit different can enjoy the LoneWolf Cactus and Lime Gin by Brewdog. The unusually flavoured gin is down from £25 to £20 today only.

Beefeater 24 London Dry Gin is down to £16.99 in the sale, saving £8.70.

There’s a fantastic offer on the 50cl bottle of Edinburgh Gin Plum and Vanilla Gin Liqueur, too, down to just £10.99 instead of £16.50, saving around a third of the price.

There are just 12 more hours left to hit checkout on Amazon Prime Day number two. If you've got items in your basket that are reduced in the sale, now is the time to bag them before they sell out or go back up to full price.

Here's a reminder of some our top tips when shopping Amazon Prime Day:

Prime Day tips:

An £80 pair of straighteners said to be 'better than GHDs' are currently down to just £22.99 with a whopping 71 per cent off.

One review on the Remington S8500s said: “I’ve had GHD straighteners and these are the best I’ve ever used and such a good price,” while another said: “I’ve only ever used GHD or Cloud Nine, I will be using these from now on.”

The Remington hair straighteners are infused with Moroccan argan oil which works to increase shine in your hair after straightening. It works by using micro-conditioners which emit through the plates onto your hair when used.

Our reviewer, Rebecca, tried them out for herself, and said: "I have naturally thick, slightly wavy hair and this straightened each section with only one run through, leaving it shiny, hydrated from the oil, and in no way frazzled.

"My hair was straight, smooth and healthy in five minutes, and stayed straight all day without the need for hair oil. I really think these are the best budget straighteners on the market."

You can buy the Remington S8500 Shine Therapy straighteners on Amazon for £22.99 in the Prime Day sale.

Amazon Music is offering new Prime members four months of Amazon Music for FREE. The trial period is usually just one month, costing £8.99 a month thereafter, but this deal sees new subscribers to the music app get four months of listening completely free.

Four months of Amazon Music would usually cost £35.96, so it’s a great saving for new subscribers. And if you didn’t want to pay £8.99 a month come February, you can always cancel before the trial ends.

That said, Amazon Music is cheaper than Spotify Premium, which comes in at £9.99 a month - it could be worth the switch to save a quid a month following your free trial, and save £12 a year!

Non-Prime members can also access a similar deal, which offers a free three month trial, but the subscription is then priced at £9.99 a month. If you’re a regular orderer, like me, it’s well worth being a Prime member to get the best deals, prices and free postage.

The new Kindle Paperwhite 8GB has dropped from £129.99 to just £94.99 as part of the latest Prime Day sale. But there is a way to get the popular e-reader for just £78.02 using an online deal.

Topcashback is offering Amazon shoppers £15 in cashback when they spend £15 or more on Amazon devices including the Kindle Paperwhite, meaning anybody who orders the Kindle Paperwhite at the new lower price can get an additional £15 in cashback, bringing the price to below £80.

New members can sign up here and get themselves a Kindle for less than £80 after cashback as part of the latest deal.

Coming with three months of Kindle Unlimited for free this is a brilliant deal to keep readers discovering new books all the way until 2023.

The deal is also available on other Amazon devices such as the Echo Dot third generation device and Fire Stick TV devices.

I know it's not as exciting as the beauty products, gifting and gadgets but this morning my head might have been turned by one of those grocery staples that I've seen creeping up in price in my weekly shop.

Now I feel I should point out I'm not usually a Finish dishwasher tablets sort of a person - own brand all the way for me, but with those now more than £4 a box in my local supermarket suddenly going premium feels like a good deal.

Prime Day deals have knocked 64% off a box of 90 Finish dishwasher tablets, bringing them down to a reasonable £9.44.

If you've got room to store them it's a really good deal - I've snapped some up so can now start seeing if all the hype about it being better for limescale levels in my machine are really true. It'll also last me well into 2023.

Our team often stock up on Elemis during the Prime Day sales, and they've got some fantastic offers on at the moment.

Here are some of our favourite products and what they're down to:

Narin's favourite: Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream - was £10 now £7.50

Rebecca's favourite: Elemis Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm - was £44 now £29.44

Emily's favourite: Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - was £89, now £64.59

Bethan's favourite: Elemis Rehydrating Rosepetal Cleanser - was £26, now £16.90

And there's also a totally unmissable offer on the Elemis Skin Radiance Collection. The four-step skincare bundle features a cleansing treatment balm, a smoothing exfoliator, an energising cleanser and a calming toner, all for £33.75 instead of £45.

Molly Mae's gorgeous wavy blonde locks are often down to the Molly Mae x Beauty works kit priced at a whopping £67. However, Amazon shoppers have spotted a dupe - and it's reduced in the Prime Day sale.

Shoppers can get the CkeyiN 3 Barrel Curling Iron Wand for £23.19 instead of £28.99. The styling wand comes in either rose gold or gold LED from 19-32mm.

Amazon shoppers have already left plenty of positive reviews for the curling barrel, with some even comparing it to the Molly Mae x Beauty works kit. The curlers have received over 2.5k reviews from happy shoppers on the Amazon website, with an average star rating of 4 out of 5.

The 'triple barrel' curling iron goes from 0 degrees to 230 degrees in just 60 seconds with different types of curls on offer. It also includes an auto shut off with a dual voltage of 110V-240V with an LCD display.

The top deals yesterday included everything from a £4.58 Echo Dot, Ring Doorbell's, and 50% off Lego and Mylee home Gel kits in the beauty section.

And the beauty products seem to be taking over the front page this morning, as we've spotted huge discounts on perfumes and body sprays. Brands including Hugo Boss, Jimmy Choo and Vera Wang are all on offer and the prices range from around £12 all the way up to £50.

With 75% the Vera Wang Signature Eau de Parfum is just £20 for 100ml, the popular Calvin Klein Euphoria is 55% off at £32.18 and the mens BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette is down to £42.

Good morning shoppers

Self-confessed Amazon-addict Bethan here and I'm just as excited about bagging a bargain today as you are. Today, the team and I will be bringing you all the latest news, best deals and some top tips and tricks to shopping this years' Amazon Prime Day 2022.

To recap - Amazon is currently hosting their second Prime Day sales event of the year, the first of which was held in July. The 48-hour event sees thousands of products reduced - some up to 70 per cent off - and gives shoppers the perfect opportunity to snap up bargain gifts for Christmas if they don't want to leave it all until Black Friday.

Keep up to date with out live blog throughout the day, where we'll be sharing the best of the deals that you won't want to miss. We wouldn't share them if we didn't think they were brilliant value, or if we wouldn't buy them ourselves!

To access the deals, be sure you're set up as an Amazon Prime Member or else you won't get the most out of the event. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial here and then just cancel after the sale, meaning you won't have to pay the monthly fee.

I've got one last product to flag up before I finish for the evening and, while it's not quite as cost-of-living focused as some of the others we've been looking at today it's definitely a good money saver if you're someone who likes a gel manicure.

MyLee is one of the leading brands of gel manicure and, while I hadn't tried them until recently I've been testing their Advent Calendar for review. I'm not the most dextrous of people so was unsure how doing a home gel manicure would go, particularly on my non-dominant hand, but have been very chuffed with how my nails have been looking.It feels like the ultimate pampering pick-me-up and some of the bright colours (especially the festive sparkly ones) really lift my mood.MyLee have got a lot of items discounted for Prime Day, from top and base coats and remover to a rainbow full of colours. But if you don't know where to start, their special Home Gel Manicure starter kit will literally give you everything you need to give it a try for just £44.99. This is discounted from their usual bundle price, which in turn is discounted from the cost of all the items if you bought them separately.

What makes it an even better deal is that there's a version with the newer - and admittedly prettier - UV lamp is almost £30 more but contains most of the same items.

Included in the set is the UV lamp, base coat, top coat, four of MyLee's most popular colours, nail prep solution and wipes and gel remover fluid.

If you've ever been tempted to try a home gel manicure this is absolutely the way to start.

We've seen lots of shoppers snapping up energy saving gadgets like air fryers, heaters and hooded blankets to help save money on heating bills as the winter sets in, but there are plenty of other things with big discounts if you do a bit of digging through the Amazon Prime Day panels.

There are some really good Lego deals here ranging from Technic to Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Lego Ninjago.

We went to Legoland's brilliant Halloween Brick or Treat event last weekend - very much recommended as the ultimate family Halloween event, not least because it's as fun for the scaredy cats as the thrill seekers. As a result of the fun day out, I came home with a six-year-old utterly obsessed by all things Lego Ninjago after he fell in love with the themed section of the park and had his chance to become a ninja himself in the iconic Ninjago ride (spoiler: it involved a terrifying amount of arm flailing and a couple of accidental kidney punches to his sister).

In the shop at the end he was smitten with several of the really big Ninjago sets and I'm thrilled to see one of them has popped up almost half price in today's sale.

It's official. I've been working on Prime Day since early this morning. I've come close to buying a couple of things (someone please tell me, is a Waterpik worth the money?) but Kai's Golden Dragon Raider reduced to £47.99, a whopping 47% off, is the first thing I've actually completed checkout on.

I'm going to have a very happy son on Christmas morning.

Maybe it's just that point in the day where you could do with a sweet treat pick-me-up, but I've been very tempted by this Hotel Chocolat advent calendar. Notionally for two - although who would know if you ate all 48 chocolates yourself?! - it contains a host of different flavoured truffles including Salted Caramel Cream, Gingerbread Praline, Madagascan Vanilla and Raspberry Rush and is reduced to £23.38 (15% off).

There are lots of different advent calendars reduced including some other big name ones perfect for grown ups and children alike.

Other ones on our wishlist are:

Pukka Tea Advent Calendar - £9.73 (15% off)

Mr Men and Little Miss Storybook Advent Calendar - £9.97 (50% off)

Playmobile Advent Calendar - £17.16 (43% off)

Minecraft Mobhead Minis - £23.99 (26% off)

There are a number of fashion deals going live for Prime Day. Crocs can now be bought for as little as £20, depending on the style and size you choose, an £8.40 saving that can't currently be found anywhere else. The cheapest pairs available are on the standard navy and black colours but the trendy white clogs are also discounted, as well as the Classic Lined Croc White/Grey £30.79, down from £44.99.

Also reduced are the Orchid Fleece Lined Crocs, from £39.99 to £27.19 these style of the shoe are becoming increasingly popular as winter approaches as shoppers can still get the same clog style look but with that added bit of warmth.

Remember that £10 Echo Dot deal we shared earlier? It's not even cheaper. Topcashback is offering Amazon shoppers £15 in cashback when they spend £15 or more on Amazon devices including the Echo Dot, meaning anybody who orders the Echo Dot at the new lower price can get an additional £15 in cashback, bringing the price to below £5. New members can sign up here and get the fourth generation Amazon Echo Dot for £4.58 after cashback as part of the latest deal.

Our reviewer has compared the Proscenic vacuum to its Dyson rival.

The Proscenic P11 is a decent cleaner for those who can't afford a bigger brand name. It's also incredibly lightweight to makes it easy to take it around the house. To give you a comparison, my Dyson weighs 2.32kg well all the components are attached, the Proscenic weighs just 1.8kg. The LED light and the touch-screen makes it quirky, and something that stands out from the rest, as well as the detachable mop, once you know how to use it.

For long-term use I found the motor an the suction didn't live up to the Dyson standard in my home. I would buy the product for a first-time vacuum cleaner but would quickly want to upgrade to something else. You can get the Proscenic from Amazon here. If you're after a Dyson then this cordless model is currently £249 on Currys.

Proscenic, an upcoming vacuum cleaner brand which is said to rival Dyson and Shark, are the latest retailer to be featured in Amazon's Prime Day sale.

The i10 cordless vacuum cleaner is now priced at £111.30 instead of £159. The 30% reduction will only last until tomorrow, when the Prime Day event ends at 11.59pm.

The four-in-one hoover has a 350W motor, three adjustable modes, an LED touch display, removal battery and a 50 minute run time. Find out more here.

I am a big fan of Amazon Warehouse. I spend most of my time during big sales events like Prime Day telling as many people as possible about the used section of Amazon, where refurbished items are on sale at cheaper prices than many of the best Prime deals.

Today they include a £14 slow cooker, discounted Tower air fryers and cheap Apple Airpods Pro.

To shop Amazon Warehouse deals just keep an eye out for the labelling around condition. It ranges from Very Good to Acceptable, with Very Good representing near-new condition. You can shop all of those deals here.

A £32 blanket is being praised by shoppers as a "godsend" for energy bills. Shoppers are loving the Catalonia TV blanket with sleeves which has been reduced by nearly half-price in the Amazon Prime Day sale.

The double-sided blanket with pockets is priced at £31.99 instead of £59.99 and is featured in Amazon's top deals for their second Prime event of the year.Shoppers have been raving about this blanket. It looks like a solid cheaper Oodie alternative.

Let's talk Breville HotCup. It is now reduced from £48 down to £38 in the Prime Day sale. As an efficient, energy-saving alternative to kettles it could be the perfect winter warmer.

My colleague Bethan reviewed one of the hot water dispensers earlier this year and the verdict was good.

As a home worker who finds themselves putting the kettle on every 45 minutes, this kitchen gadget has been a lifesaver as I can make my cup of tea in less than 60 seconds.

The dispenser is more economical than a kettle, taking less time to boil, but also saves lots of time, which is perfect for our busy kitchen. The large water window also makes accurate filling easy, so you never run out of water halfway through making the teas and coffees.

If you're a big tea drinker it could be a good buy.

Amazon are sharing their top deals and it's no surprise that it's an air fryer.

If you missed our post earlier about air fryer's then you are in luck because this Tefal ActiFry one has just become available, and according to Amazon it's a top deal!

You can buy it for £149.99 instead of £284.99. That may seem pricey still but it is a saving of £135 (47%). This air fryer can serve eight portions and is a two-in-one model.

It comes with 54 smart programmes combos to cook all the parts of your meal to perfection and have them ready at the same time, genius technology means it uses less oil and does the stirring for you, nine smart auto programmes and built-in timer means you get tasty meals without having to resort to guesswork and it's also packed with recipes.

Electric blankets have become a trend, unfortunately due to our sky-high energy bills. But anyhow...

There are some great one's out there which will mean you won't have to worry about spending a fortune on the heating, and can shove one into your bed before you call it a day.

There are a handful of these listed in the sale today but this Dreamland Starlight Express Fleece one is 20% off at £27.99.

This one's great because it takes just 10 minutes to warm a bed up for the whole night. And using the energy calculator site Sus-it, it would cost just 57p to warm for a household on the current standard tariff.

A lot cheaper than having your heating on!

Hundreds of shoppers have bought this mini angel stand mixer this morning which has been featured in Amazon's Lightning deals. It's perfect for a bit of Bake Off inspiration too!

Baking lovers will surely love this. The mini angel stand mixer has 10 speeds and a powerful 1300W motor with 5litre stainless steel bowls. It also features a tilt head and anti-slip design, as well as an aluminum dough hook and beater. It's dishwasher safe too.

You can get it for £59.99 instead of £125.99 but you'll need to hurry if you want it, as 60% have been claimed already.

Shark have reduced a number of vacuum cleaners as part of Amazon's new Prime Day sale.

More than 300 shoppers have rated the Shark cylinder vacuum cleaner as excellent and it's now 70% less than its original price.

Priced at £99.99 instead of £329.99, the Shark CZ500UKT model features anti-hair wrap technology, which removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean. The model also has dynamic technology, which combines an extra-lightweight 4kg pod design, powerful suction and smooth glide 360° wheels.

It's a whopping 70% saving on the price, and it also comes with a free five year guarantee upon registration. One shopper said: "This cleaner is fantastic across the board. High build quality, modular (for easy use and maintenance), very simple and effortless to use, incredible suction power, and the anti hair wrap works brilliantly.

"My main concern was moving from an upright to a cylinder as I thought this would be more cumbersome to use. In reality it is far easier as the ground unit is very light and takes almost no effort to get it to glide on the floor."
