Lavor Tiger

This is Lavor's replacement for last year's test winner - and the maker has done it again! The Tiger is portable, lightweight and a fine cleaner, despite packing a smaller motor than many of its rivals here.

It throws out a decent amount of water, and has a multi-adjustable nozzle to tackle caked-on grime. The Lavor also offers good storage for accessories and a six-metre hose. Add to this package a competitive price, and it scoops our Best Buy award.
