This uses a second floor head with two rotating pads and a water reservoir, which is more than capable of giving your floor a good wipe – perfect for households with messy eaters or muddy paws.

As if all that tech wasn’t enough, the Roidmi vacuum can also charge wirelessly, by leaning against a charging port designed to be stuck on your wall.Anyone with a furry friend in their lives will understand how important it is to have a vacuum cleaner that isn’t just good at extracting hair off carpet, but can tackle hard floor, furniture and car interiors, too. It proved a similarly powerful cleaner on hard floors, short pile carpet and floorboards, consistently lifting most dirt in just one sweep. The HyLite/HyLite 2’s vacuum bags are made up of three layers, filtering different grades of dust and debris.

It’s not kitted out to cover much more carpet than the occasional small rug (using the supplied small carpet head), but if that suits your lifestyle the Omni-glide is an excellent vacuum that’s very good at its specialist subject. The Vax Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery CLSV-B4DP Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is an ideal choice as it combines the performance of a corded model with the freedom of a cordless one. Enjoy up to a year's supply of our triple-layered carbon bags, which provide a hygienic clean whilst neutralising pet odours.

It performed exceptionally well on hard floors and carpets alike, and it has a handy illuminated floor head and hardy brush mode that made light work of leeching dust and debris from my rugs. There are a handful of specifications to look at before you begin, of which the most crucial are weight, bin capacity and battery life. It’s a shame that it can't stand up on its own, but it's otherwise hard to fault for everyday household use.
