Amazon shoppers are trading in their Dyson and Shark vacuum cleaners for a more wallet-friendly alternative currently on sale. The Smoture VAC01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is now available for £129.99, thanks to a £30 voucher on the product page, offering nearly 25 per cent off its original price of £169.99.
The vacuum cleaner has earned the ‘Amazon’s Choice’ badge, an accolade given to highly-rated, reasonably-priced products ready for immediate dispatch. It boasts a potent motor with robust suction, which the manufacturer asserts can tackle even deeply ingrained dirt.
It offers four cleaning modes – Eco, Standard, Boost, and Auto – and its touch-screen display makes it easy to switch between them. In Auto mode, the vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts its suction power based on the floor type, whether carpet or hard floor.

The display also alerts users to any blockages and shows the battery level, which can last up to 60 minutes, or 18 minutes in high-powered boost mode. The free-standing Smoture comes with a wall-mounted charging station that fully charges the device in four hours and provides storage for the included long flat nozzle and dusting brush.
With an impressive 4.8-star rating from over 1,250 reviews, 96 per cent of which are four or five stars, the Smoture VAC01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner outperforms Shark’s £189.99 Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Pet Vacuum and Dyson’s £229.99 V8 Advanced, which has a 4.4-star rating, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Shoppers have been raving about their latest find, with one particularly pleased customer exclaiming: “Worth every penny. I had the Dyson V8 Animal and this beats it. Not only is this far cheaper, it also performs better. It is lightweight but sturdy.”
They elaborated on the advantages of their new purchase, saying: “You only have to press the power button once to turn it on/off, whereas you have to continuously hold the button for power on the Dyson. It has a convenient touch screen control for the suction power settings.
“The bag-less compartment is also really easy to empty. It has the same wall-mounted stand but this is also designed to be free standing, so you can store it how you like. Highly recommended.”
Another customer joined in with fervour, enthusing over their investment: “Excellent value, versatile machine. A quality item with a functional design making it easy and versatile to use. It’s also simple enough to empty and not difficult to clean.”
Furthermore, they appreciated the quiet operation and impressive battery life: “It operates relatively quietly too. The hour-long battery life is a bonus and it doesn’t take too long to charge.
“It seems to be quite powerful. The fact that the end of the floor brush lights up is great for being able to see if you have picked up everything.”
The praises didn’t stop there, with another delighted buyer “highly” recommending the Smoture VAC01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner before adding: “Absolutely amazing. This is absolutely brilliant, I’ve had Shark, Dyson, Henry, Vax, all the big brands, but this suction power [is] brilliant, better than others on flooring or carpet.”
One customer was over the moon with their purchase, praising its capacity to navigate tight spaces with ease and its freestanding feature, a rarity among its peers. They joyously reported: “[It] gets up close to edges without using a crevice tool.
“It actually stands up free standing unlike many others. Battery charge lasts twice around my bungalow [and] comes with spare parts. Absolutely a must-have – lightweight, amazing power, versatile.”
However, the product didn’t win over everybody. One buyer highlighted some downsides: “Not bad, nowhere near the same level of suction as a Dyson, but does the job for now. Decent on hard flooring picking up bits, but needs more power for carpets.”
For those eager to get their hands on this appliance, Amazon is sweetening the deal by slashing the price of the Smoture VAC01 to just £129.99. This tempting offer includes knocking £30 off the usual price tag of £159.99, making it an even more appealing bargain.
