If your idea of a budget-friendly robot vacuum is a machine that pinballs senselessly around the room and needs as much rescuing as it does cleaning, you’re in for a surprise.
Because that’s not the case. Our favourite budget ‘bot, the Dreame D10 Plus, has strong suction, excellent navigation and comes with a self-emptying charging base. Self-emptying is the key to truly automated cleaning. You can set up a cleaning schedule in the app, forget all about it, and come home to shiny floors every day.
For the next 24 hours, the Dreame D10 Plus is in the Prime Day sale, and you can pick it up for £239/$259.99, down from £279/£399.99. It’s already a very well-priced model, but this discount is not to be missed.
