The Akitas V8 offers the best value for money that we’ve found in the cordless vac world.

With a detachable metal stick hoover body and two brush heads, you can get most any cleaning job done.

We really like the two power setting options: eco mode to save energy and max mode for when you need a high-powered clean.

Though it may not be able to tackle really thick carpets, this vac offers great all-around cleaning for a much cheaper price point than most cordless hoovers on the market.

Run time: 60 minutes

A sort of mix between vacuum cleaner and sweeper, this electronic appliance is great for floor cleaning and can be relied upon to get the job done to a high standard.

Unfortunately, it’s less appropriate for use on curtains or decor such as bookshelves, but when it does such a good job of cleaning floors, we don’t think this is a deal breaker.

With its long runtime and specially designed edge cleaning ability, this low-energy vac has a lot to offer. Add its slim, lightweight and compact design, and it’s easy to see how this hoover made our list of best cheap cordless vacuums.

Weight: 1.2 kg

If you’ve been wanting a robot to do all of your vacuuming for you, you’re in luck! And you don’t have to pay hundreds of pounds to get your very own hands-free vac assistant either.

This little timesaver comes in two chic colourways and provides high-power suction as well as a function to mop your hard floors.

Though this model doesn’t have app connectivity, all you have to do is press the power button to get it started. Then, the built-in sensors will help this cordless vac to not only avoid obstacles but also access every nook and cranny.

While we don’t recommend using this robot to give your floors a deep clean, it does a decent job of gathering up everyday dirt and dust.

Short run time

Shark vacuums are well known in the cleaning market, and for good reason. But, because of this, you’re not likely to find one for less than £100.

Unless you’re searching for a good handheld vacuum.

In which case, we’ve found you the perfect option.

This handy Shark vac offers strong suction and versatility perfect for handheld and car cleaning, as it’s ideal for use across car seats and household spot cleaning — including sucking up that annoying patch of pet hair.

The battery life per charge is quite low, but as it’s only meant for small jobs, the short run time makes some sense. In addition, there is a light-up indicator to let you know how much juice you have left before the vac needs to be recharged — a handy feature we appreciate.

The Proscenic i10 offers nearly an hour run time on eco mode and versatility over a wide variety of surfaces. It comes with an angled detail brush — useful for reaching into small nooks and crannies — and a small brush head that can swivel to a right angle as needed.

As for the main sweeper head, it uses a powerful spinning brush that can easily be removed to clear off any tangled hairs or strings. But best of all, the vac is controlled by an easy-to-use touchscreen.

Choose from three power modes and easily see how much power the battery has left as well as what if any problems have arisen with the device so you can action an easy fix.

From upright vacuum cleaner to handheld hoover, this Morphy Richards SuperVac can do it all.

Simply fold the handle up or down to transform the appliance to best tackle the cleaning job you have at hand.

This sleek model also comes with additional brush heads and offers two distinct power modes.

While at the top of our price tag range, thanks to its versatility, long run time and ability to fold down compactly when not in use, this vac has definitely earned its place in our list of the best cordless vacuums under £100 in the UK.

Fun fact: Cordless vacs are cheaper to run than traditional corded vacuums.

Why?

They only tap into your energy bill when recharging their batteries.

As such, they don’t draw any energy while running, and they also typically have smaller motors which therefore use less energy in general.

Though the price cap of £100 may seem limiting, not to worry. There are all sorts of exceptional hoovers within that price range to suit your needs.

Looking for a collapsible option? Try the Morphy Richards SuperVac.

What about a handy touchscreen control? You’ll find that on the Proscenic i10.

You can even find a robot vac under £100.

As for the best value for money? We’d recommend snagging an Akitas V8.

But whatever option you choose, they’ll all help to keep your home spick and span — and, best of all, no cords needed!
