Voted the best overall robot vacuum in our guide, the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 offers the best of everything. It intelligently mops and vacuums your floors for up to 30 days. Just set a schedule and the robot returns to its base to empty the dustbin, wash the mop, and refill the tank automatically.

Alternatively, there's the Hoover Robot Vacuum Cleaner for £199 down from £249 direct from Hoover, a powerful bit of kit that is suitable for both carpets and hard floors, has powerful suction and even returns to the base to recharge when the battery runs low all by itself.

If you don't want the mopping function, then it’s worth considering an alternative, like the Eufy L60, which is also discounted to £159.99 saving £90 on Amazon. Elsewhere, Shark also makes a robot vacuum, the PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot, though that's more expensive at £499.99.
