Dyson DC44 Animal

COMMENDED

It's expensive, but the Dyson is a class act, and only the hefty price tag prevents it taking the overall title.

It oozes quality and is mightily effective, topping the cleaning test and boasting a useful run time of 20 minutes before you need to recharge it.

There's a good range of accessories, too, including a long crevice tool and one for pet hairs.

You also get a long extension, making it useful around the home as well.
