Va-va-vacuum! Lighter, greener, faster and more powerful than ever - the latest vacuum cleaners will bust your dust in no time

Miele S7260 Cat & Dog [pounds sterling]299

House-proud pet owners will love this machine, which ruthlessly sucks up cat and dog hair, while also removing a high percentage of dust and allergens in the air. It has a large 4.7ltr dust bag and an 11.3m cable, so you don't have to keep stopping to unplug it as you move from room. Verdict Efficient hair removal. Contact www.miele.co.uk

Hoover Silent Energy [pounds sterling]179.99

The latest generation of Hoover cylinder machines addresses the problem with many cleaners - they make too much noise. Switching to silent energy mode means energy use is halved and the machine purrs along at an acceptable 72dB. The 6m cord length is a little restricting though. Verdict Quiet.

Dyson DC31 [pounds sterling]129.99

With its macho looks and its claim to have the 'fastest motor in the world', this might just get the boys to start cleaning. It only has ten minutes of battery life at full pelt, though. Verdict Fast and efficient for quick clean-ups. Contact www.dyson.co.uk

Samsung Big Neo SC8442 [pounds sterling]78.49

Hold on to your rugs because this light (5.8kg) bagless vacuum has remarkable suction power. Its HEPA 11 filter also makes it good for allergy sufferers. Verdict Good value. Contact www.samsung.com
