Shark’s DuoClean vacuum has become indispensable around the house. Charge up the battery and you’ll have up to 50 minutes of run-time, which is brilliant for covering the whole house and then zipping it around in between cleans — which you have more incentive to do without having to mess around with wires. The lights on the front of the floorhead highlight how quickly dust accumulates, but this powerful vacuum sucks up dust and dirt equally quickly so you’ll never have to roll over the same area of floor more than once. Its powered lift-away makes light work of cleaning under beds and sofas. Quick, easy and effortless cleaning all round!
Currently on sale at £379.99 (from £489.99) on SharkClean.eu
