The best cordless vacuums are fantastically portable, but their slim size often means they need emptying far too regularly. If that's a problem for you, then you'll want a self-emptying vac, and I can recommend the four-star Shark Detect Clean & Empty Vacuum Cleaner, which is on sale at Amazon for £199.99 (was £252.07).

Thanks to automatic self-emptying technology, the Detect Clean & Empty automatically releases its debris into the bagless base unit. This dock is capable of holding up to 30 days of debris, which is longer than most wired vacs would manage.

It's not every day that you can buy a vacuum with a ton of smart features, including automatic self-emptying, for under £200. But thanks to a new deal at Amazon, the Shark Detect Clean & Empty is down to the best price we've seen since Black Friday, making it one of the cheapest auto-empty vacuums you can buy.

In our four-star Shark Detect Clean & Empty review, we loved the vacuum's auto-empty dock, automation features, and agile feel, as well as the mini motorised tool, which was particularly effective for getting up pet hair.

The highlight of this Shark Detect vacuum is the 2L base, which automatically sucks the contents of the vacuum’s bin out into a larger container when you drop it on the dock. The vac will also recharge while in the dock, which is a bonus.

As well as these automated and innovative features, the Shark Detect Clean & Empty is also very capable of doing what vacuums should do: picking up debris and dust. Thanks to its special brushroll, it makes light work of both carpets and hardwood floors.

This is a fantastic deal that is well worth considering, but there are plenty of other options available. Take a browse of our dedicated guides to the best vacuum cleaners, best cordless vacuums, and best wet-dry vacuums.
