How the site is funded

This site shows no advertising. It is funded through affiliate links: some links to retailers are affiliate links. If you buy after clicking one of them, the retailer or its affiliate network may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra: the price is the retailer's own. These links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What commission does not change

• No brand or retailer pays to appear on the site or rank higher.
• Our scores and rankings are calculated by our code, using the same criteria for every model. Neither the presence of an affiliate link nor the commission amount affects this calculation.

What affiliate funding changes, and what we want you to know

• On a product page, if at least one retailer offers the model through a paid link, only paid links are shown.
• Retailer buttons appear in this order: Amazon first if it offers the model, then by recorded price, lowest to highest; when prices match, the retailer paying the highest commission comes first.
• A model with no retailer offers is removed from our lists and filters, unless its page states that an offer in your country is still being sought or cannot be found; its page stays online. On a page with no offers, the alternative we suggest is chosen from models with a retailer link, with the highest-rated model first.

Product analyses

We do not physically test products. Our reviews are analyses: we gather manufacturers' specifications, retailer pages and published customer feedback, then compare them using the same criteria.

How products are ranked

These are the rules our code uses to rank products, as they apply today.

• Our rankings cover the 46 models we have analysed, out of 436 models identified: they do not cover the whole market.
• On the full model list and selection pages (by use, brand or budget, sorted by “Relevance”), models with scores based on enough documented criteria (high or medium confidence) appear first; within this group, then among the remaining models, the default order is by overall score, highest to lowest, using the score shown on each card; ties are resolved by placing the model with more documented criteria first, then alphabetically; models without a score appear last.
• The “Our pick” and “Best pick” labels, and the top spot in a top-three ranking, are reserved for models with scores based on enough documented criteria (high or medium confidence).
• The overall score is the equally weighted average of the scores for our criteria: Max coverage, Dustbin capacity, Charging time, Battery life, Suction power, Equipment. A criterion with missing data is not scored and is excluded from the average.
• You can change the list order: highest rated, price low to high or high to low, newest.
• The featured “best picks” are the highest-rated models with high or medium confidence scores.

Our methodology

Where we use artificial intelligence

• Content: AI helps us read manufacturers' specifications and retailer pages, and write analyses and guides. A notice appears at the bottom of each page and at the start of each guide.
• Scores: these are calculated by our code using each model's documented specifications, compared with other models in the catalogue; each product page explains its scores.
• Images: product gallery images are AI-generated from retailer photos to show each model consistently. A small notice appears below the gallery and when you hover over each AI-generated image. Some details may differ from the actual product: refer to the retailer's photos and description.
• Summarize with AI: this button opens your chosen assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok) with the page URL. The response comes from that service, not from us, and may contain errors.
