Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
Only the Powerffy and Hoover listings give a runtime for every mode; the VYTRONIX and Akitas state an ECO-mode runtime only, and the Proscenic and Olsen & Smith give a single figure. Three of the six state a suction figure (Powerffy, Proscenic and Olsen & Smith) and three a warranty term (VYTRONIX, Akitas and Proscenic). None of the six listings states a noise level.
Our Take
Our default under £100 is the Powerffy 55KPa: suction stated for each mode, up to 65 minutes in Eco mode and a 1.8L dust cup, though its listing says it is not built to stand on its own. For a stated warranty and weight, the VYTRONIX EBCV6 lists a 2 year warranty, 2.3kg and up to 40 minutes in ECO mode; for a self-emptying dock, the Olsen & Smith lists 18kPa and a washable H13 HEPA filter.
