It’s exceptionally lightweight and has a superb battery life, which can also be boosted with a back-up battery, so you don’t have to wait to recharge. It filters everything it captures, including pet hair, into a removable bin that can easily be removed for simple, hygienic emptying. For efficiency, it has a nifty brushless motor, offering the perfect balance of performance and intelligence, which monitors how much power you need. It comes with a crevice tool and dusting brush, but you pay extra for other useful attachments.

This model offers plenty of features to suit busy family life. It comes in handy if you have pets thanks to its high-suction power and Powerfins that will lift deep-rooted pet hair. Not only that, but anti-hair-wrap technology separates and removes hair from its brush-roll as you go, meaning no more removing tangled hair. It performs brilliantly across carpet, hardwood floors and tiles with only one pass required on all floor types. You have up to 60 minutes’ run-time with its removable chargeable battery, and you can easily see how much time you have left with the smart LED display. REASON TO BUY It offers the power you’d expert from a corded version REASON TO AVOID Battery life is as good as it could be
