Shark is one of the most popular vacuum brands for a reason and the Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is loved by many, due to the Anti Hair Wrap Technology which separates and removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean. We like the inclusion of lights, as they illuminate any hidden specks of dust.

A lightweight vacuum like the HONITURE S14 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is easy to move around the home. It has a brushless motor which not only lowers the noise level but also increases its suction and battery life. The standout feature has to be the filtration system, which will emit a lavender fragrance which freshens the room as you clean.

A reviewer wrote: "This is my first cordless vacuum cleaner and I am delighted with my purchase, what I like about my Honiture S14 is it is lightweight with three different power settings with great suction, and that you can adjust the height of the vacuum cleaner, also the movability of the vacuum head with its lights is brilliant and it gets into all your nooks and crannies, it is also great value for your money with its three year extended warranty, it is by far the best vacuum cleaner that I have ever owned."

LED headlights reveal missed dust, and a simple latch releases debris into your bin. The 22V Lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 minutes of runtime per 4-hour charge.

One reviewer wrote: "This is a great vacuum cleaner. It was good value for money and arrived quickly. It’s very well made and easy to fit together. It’s very lightweight and easy to push but has great suction power so your carpets look really clean. You don’t have to do anything to go from carpet to hard floors and it picks up bigger crumbs etc. it’s easy to empty and has a great run time so that you can do the whole house in one charge. The only thing I would say though is that the anti hair wrap claim is not that great but other than that I love it."

One happy customer said: "At long last I have a decent hoover I can use on the stairs. Have a cordless shark which is ok but frankly not powerful enough on the stairs. Henry too heavy and Dyson now given away because it’s too bulky and just lacks suction on my bedroom carpet. This little gem so easily assembles and comes apart to give me a really powerful lightweight hoover for my stairs. As an upright vacuum it’s has fantastic suction and my bedroom carpet finally looks hoovered. Very quiet and I love it!!!"

  • Versatile
  • Long cord and headlights
  • Suction control

Cons

  • Difficult to move on thick carpet

The Vax Blade 4 Dual has versatility in bucket loads. With 90 minutes of charge, there's plenty of battery to deep clean your car and remove any dried mud or crumbs your kids may have left in the back. You can also suck up any pet hair that's lying around and the detachable hose can get to those hard-to-reach places.

A happy customer said: "I chose this to replace a different manufacturer which I had been trying to get a replacement head cleaner for 4 months. I thought my old one was good, but to my surprise, as I had to reduce my budget, I found this much cheaper alternative to be even better. For a few reasons: it has 2 batteries, each lasting about 45 mins; the suction pick up is outstanding, it certainly has picked up more dust than my previous one; its quieter which is a plus for me; there are some attachment which have found to be helpful for other jobs. All in all, I am very pleasantly surprised and think I made the right choice."

  • No bags to replace

Cons

  • Light only comes on when brushes move

Best vacuum cleaner and mop

ON SALE

Up next is this multipurpose robot hoover from eufy, which doubles up as a mop to clean the floor and clear up any liquids or water spillages. It maps out the room it's in using laser technology, so that it can safely navigate around any obstacles. We think the self-cleaning function is fantastic, as the auto-emptying station removes and stores the contents for 60 days.

A reviewer said: "We have two rooms carpeted and the rest is hardwood. We have linked ours to our Alexa and dimly say “Alexa, start Maurice” (call yours what you wish in the app setup obviously and then link it to your Alexa). The Eufy app is fantastic. It allows to to choose just one room or the whole floor, a spot clean for those crumbs by the sofa, or even remote control to get to that one space that’s gotten really dusty! The suction of great on this model, and leave lovely stripes on our carpets, just like a lawnmower on the grass. The only time it hasn’t given a fantastic performance was when we sent him it with a full dust compartment. We empty him about once a week, and use him almost every day."

Pros

  • Can climb over rugs and thresholds
  • Has a child safety lock

Cons

  • Dust bag isn't reusable
Capacity:0.2L
Weight:3.9 kg
Dimensions:‎35 x 35 x 10cm

Best quiet vacuum cleaner

on sale

The Complete C2 PowerLine cylinder vacuum boasts 890W suction, a 4.5L dust-bag, and a universal floor-head for carpets, tiles, and more. Effortlessly clean with a 10m radius, secure locking system, and integrated accessories. It includes a dusting brush, upholstery, and crevice nozzles for versatile cleaning.

One reviewer said: I had not had a Miele before, having had Dysons. I am impressed by the lightweight cabinet - easy to take up stairs. And the long wand which can reach anywhere. And the precision of the engineering of the extension of the wand - it feels like top-quality engineering. I like the suction adjustment - useful when on a loose rug. And the strength of suction is amazing! Seems more powerful than the Dysons I have had (the pet hair purple one and the original yellow one). And i like the power adjustment on the unit. It comes with a proper, generously lengthed power cable. All around, top marks!

Pros

  • Powerful suction
  • Quiet operation
  • Durable

Cons

  • Slightly heavier compared to other models

Best robot vacuum cleaner

on sale

If you're after a time-saving option, Lefants Robot Vacuum Cleaner can be controlled through your smartphone. Along with scheduling when you want it to tidy up, there are four cleaning modes including Zig-Zag, Random, Edge and Spot. We love how it can detect obstacles such as objects in the way and stairs.

One parent reviewer said: "This hoover is a great time saver. Is ideal for an open plan hard floor setting. We've got 4 cats and 2 kids so we bought this to try and to spend less of our lives hoovering up and sweeping floors. It's a great time saver (e.g. the kids dropped a load of glitter on the floor in the kitchen, I could just set the hoover on it and when I came back it was clear). It also works great, picking up bits of cat litter, crumbs, dust and fur."

  • Narrow design to fit under beds and sofas

Cons

One reviewer wrote: "What a powerful little cute machine, I got this to replace my Dyson and so glad I did, as there's a lot more suction power and it's a lot quieter. I have 3 dogs and the Dyson was rubbish at picking dog hair up this little guy does the job and it's that powerful on suction it lifts the carpet up!
