    Samsung QE55QN85C

  • 55-inch 4K TV
  • Neo QLED display
  • Supports HDR10, HLG and HDR10+ formats
  • We like: We don’t like: 

    The picture on this 55-inch Samsung TV is a treat regardless of resolution (particularly HD) and the colours have a natural look that keeps the picture looking lifelike. 

    Audio feels big and expansive, while it also has a strong suite of gaming features and decent support for voice assistants.

    So how did it fare in our testing?

    Best Apple mobile phone deal

    Apple iPhone 15

    Apple iPhone 15
  • A16 Bionic Chip
  • 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display
  • 48Mp main camera
  • We like:We don’t like:

    We usually wouldn’t expect to see a big discount on the latest Apple iPhone until we get close to next year’s launch, but the iPhone 15 has just dropped by £100 at a range of retailers. 

    Some provide extra special offers if you buy an iPhone 15 from them, such as free Sim cards or access to Apple TV+.

    Google Pixel 7 Pro
  • Google Tensor G2 processor

    Apple iPad 2022undefined
  • 10.9-inch screen
  • A14 Bionic chip and 4GB of Ram
  • 1,640 x 2,360-pixel resolution display
  • We like:We don’t like:

    This 2022 version of the iPad has a 10.9-inch, 1,640 x 2,360-pixel display screen – which is better than HD. The version we tested has a 64GB hard drive, but there’s a 256GB model available too. 

    You can’t expand the memory in any way, so make sure you buy one that’s got enough for your needs.

    Best headphone deal

    Sennheiser CX True Wireless

    undefinedSennheiser CX True Wireless Earbuds
  • Truly wireless, in-ear headphones
  • Accompanying Smart Control app
  • IPX4 water resistant, which means they’re splash resistant
  • We like:We don’t like:

    These relatively affordable headphones lack noise cancelling but do have decent quality and features and settings that can be tinkered with via the accompanying Smart Control app. 

    They also have limited water resistance, making them more durable than some premium models.

    Best fridge freezer deal

    Bosch KGN392LDFG

    Bosch KGN392LDFG fridge freezer
  • Freestanding
  • Frost-free freezer
  • Metallic
  • We like: We don't like: 

    This Bosch has five shelves and three egg trays in the fridge. The freezer has three drawers and an ice cube tray.

    If the default right hinge setup doesn’t work for your kitchen, it’s easy to switch the hinges to the other side.

    Warning alarms sound if the doors are left open or the fridge freezer detects that it is malfunctioning.

    It also runs pretty quietly, so shouldn’t get on your nerves if you have to work from home at your kitchen table.

    Best broadband deal

    Our pick: NOW Super Fibre

  • £28 a month
  • £19 upfront cost
  • This is a particularly attractive fibre broadband deal given you're only tied down to a contract for 12 months, so are free to shop around again after a year. 

    Now Broadband implements ad-hoc price increases, in July products increased by £3.50 (social tariffs were excluded from the price rise).

    Best mattress deal

    Eve Premium Hybrid mattress

    Eve the Premium Hybrid
  • Double
  • Memory foam and springs
  • We like:We don't like:

    Eve's Premium Hybrid is one of our most popular Eve mattress reviews and it's currently part of the Eve Sleep clearance sale - so you can bag this Premium Hybrid for just £500 this month - cheaper than average for this type of mattress, based on those we've tested. 

    This hybrid combines foam, memory foam and micro pocket springs into a 27cm thick mattress that could be the perfect choice if you're wanting to swap from springs to foam but aren't quite sure if you want to take the plunge. For extra reassurance, there's an impressively long 365-night sleep trial, so even if you don't like it you've got the option to return it; and a 10-year warranty if you do end up keeping it.

    Despite the foam layers, it doesn't feel overly warm to lie on when you get into bed, so should suit most people. But it is quite heavy and hard to rotate.

    March sale shopping tips 

    Check the Which? website 

    As well as telling you which products are best and which are lacking, we’ve also put together a list of the best and worst shops. 

    We’ve quizzed thousands of Which? members on their experiences of shopping in some of the country’s best-known stores and websites, as well as with lesser-known brands. 

    Watch out for sneaky tricks

    Some retailers use underhand tactics to pressure you into making a purchase. 

    These include anchor pricing (when products are on sale more often than they aren’t), pressure selling (‘30 people are viewing this right now!’) and dubious claims about the ‘before’ price of a product. 

    Research customer reviews

    It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all reviews are trustworthy. 

    Some sellers incentivise people to post fake positive reviews to drown out genuine negative ones. If you’re in any doubt, check our expert guide on how to spot a fake review. 

    Returning goods

    The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, which begins on the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it’s always best to check before you buy.
