These 1 litre Henry Pods slot into the collection bin and work as the filter, helping to keep both the vacuum cleaner and the air around you clean, as well as giving you as-new performance with each replacement Pod. One of the biggest annoyances of cordless vacuums is that you have to find somewhere to lean them when you’re mid clean.

Whether you’re tired of lugging a hefty cylinder vacuum around your home or you just need something to clean up after a messy pet/child/partner, we’ve got you covered. Last but certainly not least, the kit comes with two batteries, so you can charge one while using the other. This gives it enough capacity to empty the Bespoke Jet at least four times before you need to replace the bag. On the flip side, however, keep in mind that even a seemingly miserable eight-minute battery life will be enough to deal with a car interior or unexpected kitchen spillage.

In this way we can see exactly how good the device is at collecting these tricky materials from both types of surface. When required, the floor head can be disconnected and the body lifted away ready to tackle stairs, mattresses and upholstery or to reach dust and dirt in high places. The Dyson Cyclone V10 was once the king of cordless vacuum cleaners and was a noteworthy improvement over the V8 in almost every way, but it’s still worth a recommendation today.

Bin capacity: This determines roughly how much dirt you can collect before you have to empty the vacuum. Our ease of use tests are conducted by an independent panel of vacuum cleaner experts and assess how easy it is use the vacuum cleaner in various real life situations, how easy it is to conduct regular maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, such as changing bags and filters, and finally how versatile each vacuum cleaner is for conducting a variety of tasks such as cleaning at various heights and cleaning upholstery.

This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. The most important thing is the cleaning ability of the device, though, and the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute happily powered through our tests with ease. For those with hard floors, the Slim Fluffy motorised head now comes with a laser that shines out at the front, illuminating tiny dust particles.

The first is a regular vacuum head with a soft brush bar that’s best for cleaning hard floors (although it does have lines of bristles for agitating short-pile carpet). 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.We test all our cordless vacuum cleaners in the same way, so we can compare the performance of a new model with every vacuum we’ve reviewed in the past. This helps you spot places that need a clean and provides reassurance that a quick pass with the V15 has done its work. Plenty of robot vacuum cleaners come with a mop attachment but it’s much less common to see them on cordless sticks. It’s incredibly powerful – so much so that Dyson ceased development of new corded cleaners because of this vacuum – and we agree that the V10 is easily good enough to replace your old upright if you’re hoping to upgrade. There are a handful of specifications to look at before you begin, of which the most crucial are weight, bin capacity and battery life.
