Shoppers ditching Dyson and Shark for budget Amazon vacuum cleaner with glowing reviews

Amazon shoppers say they are ditching Dyson and Sharkvacuums for a cheaper alternative that's been reduced in price as part of a new spring deal. The Smoture VAC01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is now available for£129.99, thanks to a £30 voucher on the product page, a near 25% discount from its original £169.99 price tag.

It's also been awarded the 'Amazon's Choice' badge, an accolade given to highly-rated, well-priced items ready for immediate dispatch. This vacuum cleaner features a powerful motor with strong suction that the manufacturer claims can tackle even deeply embedded dirt.

It offers four cleaning modes – Eco, Standard, Boost and Auto – which can be selected via its touch screen display. In Auto mode, the vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts its suction power based on the floor type, whether carpet or hard floor, reports MyLondon.

The display also alerts users to any blockages and shows the battery level, which can last up to 60 minutes – or 18 minutes in the high-powered boost mode. The free-standing Smoture comes with a wall-mounted charging station that fully charges the device in four hours and provides storage for the included long flat nozzle and dusting brush.

The Smoture vacuum has earned an impressive 4.8-star rating after more than 1,250 reviews, 96% of which are four or five stars. It also beats Shark's £189.99 Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Pet Vacuum price and the cost of Dyson's £229.99 V8 Advanced, both of which are rated 4.4 stars.

One satisfied customer said: "Worth every penny. I had the Dyson V8 Animal and this beats it. Not only is this far cheaper, it also performs better. It is lightweight but sturdy. You only have to press the power button once to turn it on/off, whereas you have to continuously hold the button for power on the Dyson.

"It has a convenient touch screen control for the suction power settings. The bagless compartment is also really easy to empty. It has the same wall-mounted stand but this is also designed to be free standing, so you can store it how you like. Highly recommended."

Another said: "Excellent value, versatile machine. A quality item with a functional design making it easy and versatile to use. It's also simple enough to empty and not difficult to clean.

"It operates relatively quietly too. The hour-long battery life is a bonus and it doesn't take too long to charge. It seems to be quite powerful. The fact that the end of the floor brush lights up is great for being able to see if you have picked up everything."

A third shopper said: "Absolutely amazing, highly recommended. This is absolutely brilliant, I've had Shark, Dyson, Henry, Vax, all the big brands, but this suction power [is] brilliant, better than others on flooring or carpet. [It] gets up close to edges without using a crevice tool.

"It actually stands up free standing unlike many others. Battery charge lasts twice around my bungalow [and] comes with spare parts. Absolutely a must-have – lightweight, amazing power, versatile."

In contrast, one shopper seemed less impressed, noting: "Not bad, nowhere near the same level of suction as a Dyson, but does the job for now. Decent on hard flooring picking up bits, but needs more power for carpets."
