Dyson has innovated the humble vac yet again and made substantial improvements too. The extra power is warranted and despite initial scepticism about whether it needs a screen or not, there’s no doubt it’s a useful addition as never before have you known exactly, to the minute, when your Dyson is going to conk out. What’s more, the instruction videos which play out on the screen inch you one step closer to domestic bliss and make the whole process more convenient. With its futuristic design and added power boost it’s the most fun you can possibly have doing housework. The only problem is that all your other appliances are going to be steaming with jealousy.
