Best for... LUXURY ROBOT Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock, £699 (irobot.co.uk) The ultimate hands-off device, this clever little robot is ideal for the time poor. Without you needing to lift a finger, other than to control it via an app, it sucks up dust and mops. A docking station sees it empty its content, refresh mop pads and self clean. Genius.

Best for... LONG HAIR Dyson V16 Piston Animal, £749.99 (dyson.co.uk) The very latest tech means you'll never get hair tangled around your vacuum cleaner again. It has a powerful 900w motor and automatically senses your floor type, adapting its function to suit it best. Compression tech allows it to hold up to 30 days worth of dust. And 70 minutes of run time gives you time for a good clean too.

Best for... LIGHTWEIGHT Levoit Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Filter, £229.96 (Amazon) At 2.79kg, this is a great option for those with lots of stairs looking for something lightweight. It promises to clean at the rate of 12,000 sweeps per minute too, getting the job done in super quick time. Can be used on carpets and hard floors and has three removable ends.

Best for... PETS Hoover Turbo Sense Pets Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap, £329 (hooverdirect.co.uk) If you have a cat or dog, you need a device up to the job - and this is it. Lifting even deeply ingrained pet hair with ease, it has a long time of up to 100 minutes too. A helpful LED light allows users to see hidden dirt.
