What is it?
A robust and efficient vacuum that offers a variety of handy features.
Good points?
The vacuum is cordless and lightweight (2.2kg/5lbs) which means it is easy to manoeuvre around the home and doesn't require a power outlet. With a powerful suction motor and a large dust collecting capacity, this vacuum can handle everyday cleaning tasks with ease.
One of the standout features of the VacTidy V8 is its ability to quickly switch between different cleaning modes. It has a “standard” mode for general tasks and a “boost” mode for tackling tougher dirt and debris. This makes it a versatile vacuum that can be used for everything from cleaning carpets to picking up shorter pet hair.
The device has a HEPA filtration system with a removable and washable filter that it claims can capture 99.97 per cent of dust, allergens, and other particles, making it a great choice for people with allergies or asthma.
Additionally, the vacuum also comes with a variety of attachments, including a crevice tool, extendable stick and a dusting brush, which makes it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas.
The VacTidy V8 has an impressive battery life of over 35 minutes, which allows for extended cleaning sessions without having to stop and recharge.
Bad points?
There is no anti-hair wrap technology so those with longer hair will need to regularly maintain the brush-head.
Best for ...
Those looking for a lightweight yet powerful and versatile cleaning solution around the home.
Avoid if ...
You have a lot of daily foot traffic and don’t have to negotiate stairs as a more powerful corded vacuum is a safer bet.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
