Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s never been easier to keep your home spotless and clean. Over the past decade, we’ve leaped from bulky corded vacuum cleaners to cordless vacuum cleaners to autonomous robot vacuum cleaners that hoover, mop and do all the hard work for you.
While it’s been eye-wateringly expensive to invest in a robot vacuum cleaner in the past, that’s not so much the case anymore. There are loads of affordable models on the market from Eufy to Tapo.
One of the newest entrants into the affordable robo vac market is Ultenic, a brand that launched in 2021 and already has a smorgasbord of high-tech cleaners and air fryers to its name. One of these is the Ultenic D5s pro, a wifi-connected, Alexa-enabled robot vacuum that vacuums and mops.
It’s the most affordable robot vacuum in the company’s range, the brand has just discounted it by a huge 41 per cent, taking it down to just £159.99.

Already pretty affordable, Ultenic has just slashed a further £110 off the price of the robot vacuum cleaner. While we haven’t tested this model, it’s a machine that doesn’t just hoover the crumbs off your floor, but also has a mopping feature, and is Alexa-enabled.
There are no cameras onboard or LIDAR, so it’s not smart enough to clean your room in a strategic pattern or create maps, and will likely bump around the house when its hoovering, but it does feature three different cleaning modes depending on the clean you need – auto, edge and spot. It has a 3,000Pa suction power, increasing on carpets and decreasing on hard floors, and you can create schedules so that it cleans while you’re away.
Don’t expect miracles to be made on your floors, as with all robot hoovers, they’re good for maintaining the state of your home, but you’ll still need to vacuum it every week or so.
