If you’re having a massive straightening sesh, however, you can simply reattach the cord to continue charging while you’re styling. It takes 70 minutes to fully charge, then you can unplug it and use it for 30 minutes without an irritating cord entangling your arms and smacking you on the head. What I liked about the Corrale was that it can be used cord-free without losing any performance. I’ve got a headful of curls, and while I’ve had my hair straightened at the hairdresser before, I’ve never tried doing it myself, so tried the Corrale as a complete straightener rookie. As hair-styling aficionados will be aware, lots of heat leads to damaged and frazzled tresses. Unlike the solid plates on other straighteners, Dyson claims that the Corrale’s patented flexing copper plates gather the hair while styling, allowing less heat to be used to get desired results. Its most recent launch is the Corrale straightener, which joins a hairdryer and the Airwrap styler in the line-up. €1499 (£1327),, on sale in 2022 Sonos Arc soundbarĭyson, the company that’s perhaps best-known for its futuristic vacuum cleaners, has spent the last few years branching out into the world of haircare. Right now you’ll have to wait til 2022 to get your hands on a ‘scope, but it’s bigger sibling, the Stellina, is on sale now. You can even schedule observations if you want to capture something while you’re asleep. From there you can watch the view live, take stacks of photos to reveal more detail and share what you’re seeing with friends.

The app presents a list of cosmic points of interest to point the telescope towards, like the birth of a star, and the motors and GPS aboard the telescope point the lens in the right direction. This means you can set up the telescope outside (it has a four-hour battery life), jump under the covers and tour the Universe. The scope takes the images hitting its sensors and sends a live-view to your smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi. The Vespera takes the work out of stargazing. The notion of a telescope without an eyepiece to look through could inspire a few strongly worded letters from our readers, but we can’t help but lust after this beautiful new telescope from Italian company Vaonis (even if it does cost around £1,300).
