When testing the combo version of this Roomba vacuum, IndyBest tech writer Steve awarded it the top spot in his round-up of the best robot vacuums. “One of the best roomba iRobot makes, the combo j7+ is a self-emptying robot vacuum cleaner with an intelligent mopping function that switches modes automatically when it moves from hard floors to rugs and carpets,” Steve explained.

It also features pet tools and anti-hair wrap technology similar to other models which IndyBest tester and home appliance whizzRachael checked out in our review of the best pet vacuums, in which Shark took the top spot.

A lightweight yet powerful device, Hoover’s cordless vacuum cleaner proved popular with household expert Qin Xie. In her review of the vacuum, she described the model as Hoover’s “most sturdy and powerful yet,” with both a 350W motor and 4,000 mAh lithium-ion battery.

Very much a loved brand at IndyBest, we think Shark vacuums are some of the best on the market. While cordless vacuums are certainly useful for moving around the house, sometimes a heavier, corded appliance is what you need for a super-deep clean.

Now, you can save more than £100 on this vacuum at Argos.
