If you’re a fan of 80s sci-fi films, you’d probably have expected us to be living in a future where all our mundane tasks are automated by now. While we haven’t quite reached the point of AI taking over hoovering entirely, we’re not far off thanks to the brilliant invention of robot vacuums – and they’re becoming more affordable by the day. Sure, a robot vacuum is a bit of a luxury, but it can be a godsend for managing those minor clean-ups, extending the time between having to haul out the hefty cleaner from its hiding place under the stairs. If you’re on the hunt for one, Amazon has just slashed the price of one of its top-rated gadgets in this category, offering a whopping 60% discount off its original £499.99 price tag. Right now, shoppers can snap up the Bagotte robot vacuum cleaner for £199.99 – that’s a staggering £300 off its RRP. Brimming with features, it’s perfect for any household where keeping up with the vacuuming feels like an uphill battle.

This cute bug-like bot boasts impressive suction power for such a compact gadget. It delivers a robust 4,000Pa of suction that’s more than up to the task of dealing with hair and pet fur. Bagotte cleverly incorporated three different suction levels into the device, enabling it to switch to the appropriate level depending on the surface on which it detects its cleaning, reports the Mirror. This clever device has a battery that lasts an impressive 150 minutes, allowing it to thoroughly clean your home before returning to its base station to empty its 1.5l dustbin and recharge for its next cleaning session. As the owner of this robotic vacuum, you have complete control over when it starts cleaning. You can set a regular schedule or use voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to activate it – the future of cleaning has arrived.
