Our Content Commercialisation Editor tried the earlier this year and said it’s great for ‘whisking up dust in hard-to-reach places’. She was also impressed at how easy it goes from a full sized to a handheld and how quickly it charges.

Those looking for a more premium model may want to consider – touted as the ‘most powerful V8 ever’ – as it’s dropped to £249.99 in the Spring Sale. But the Ultenic U16 Flex Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has achieved a 4.6-star rating from 2,260 reviews – 90% of which are four or five stars.

One happy customer said: “It’s incredibly powerful and picks up even the tiniest dust and debris with ease. It works excellently, equally well on my carpet or on my laminate. The Flexible wand makes cleaning under furniture so easy. This vacuum has made my cleaning routine so much more efficient. It’s great value for money and I couldn’t rate it highly enough.”

Another said: “I had a Shark cordless for some years, but couldn’t justify the cost of a new one. The had all the features of my old vacuum, and charging the battery didn’t take long at all. I have an indoor cat, so cat litter makes a daily appearance – no problem for this vacuum, on the eco setting, again on hard floors, the eco setting is enough. It picks up well on carpets on the normal setting and very good on the turbo setting. The flexible handle is great for under furniture. All in all, a very good vacuum if not better than my Shark.”

A third satisfied shopper said: “Great value, efficient stick vacuum. I’ve had numerous big-brand vacuums, and this is far superior. The run time is excellent with three levels of suction power, it’s perfect for all floor types. It’s not too heavy and is easy to manoeuvre. The green light shows you dust you didn’t know you had. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a cheaper alternative to big brands.”

However, despite their five-star review, the same buyer added: “The only downside is it’s not easy to empty as fluff gets stuck and the tool provided is useless. I found a fork does the trick perfectly. Also, more tools like a smaller head included in the package would be a bonus, although they are available separately.”
