Makita LXT BCL18ZW
COMMENDED
Another cleaner that makes the case for splashing out to get good performance from a handheld vacuum, as the battery and charger aren't included.
It's cost-effective if you have other Makita power tools, but close to £170 if you don't.
Still, its cleaning was among the best and, like the Dyson, it has an extension tube that makes it handy around the home as well.
There are crevice and carpet tools, too and that removable battery is good for 30 minutes.
