How we test (in plain English)
We start with what matters in daily UK use: space, noise, energy, cleaning and reliability. For each category we:
- Shortlist based on spec sheets and independent feedback.
- Run hands‑on checks (e.g., suction on carpet vs hard floor, heat‑up times, app stability).
- Score ease of cleaning and maintenance.
- Verify claims against manuals and trusted sources.
We never recommend something just because it’s trendy — if a product is fiddly to use or impossible to clean, it won’t make our top picks.
