2. Know your needs. Pets? Pet hair. Thick carpet? Carpet guide. Want a dock? Self-emptying.
3. Shortlist two or three models. Use our finder if you are not sure.

What to check on a deal listing

• What is in the box: dock, spare brushes, filters, mop pads
• Whether it is a self-emptying model and the cost of replacement bags

• The brand’s current app and support status
