At the end of 2020, we named the Halo Capsule cordless our appliance of the year. But you don’t just have to take our word for it. Which? gave the appliance the number two spot in its list of the .

Capsule is an innovative cordless vacuum cleaner. Its makers opted for powerful suction, a light weight (it’s just 2.6kg thanks to its carbon fibre shell), a huge 1.6 litre dustbin and robust design – instead of loading it down with features and extras.

Unusually among new cordless cleaners, it uses vacuum cleaner bags, so it’s a great option for people with a sensitivity to dust, who don’t want to go poking around getting clumps of hair out of their vacuum cleaner, or getting a dust cloud in the face when emptying it.

The bags themselves are fully compostable, making them an eco-friendly choice.

It’s built to last, with no complicated internal plumbing to clog up. Its parts are also recyclable and its makers encourage buyers to send it in for servicing, a software update and a fresh battery, instead of replacing it in a few years’ time.

True to form, Amazon is claiming that the deal is a bit better than it actually is by inflating the pre-deal price. The price of Capsule can fluctuate on Amazon, but you can usually , its manufacturer, for £249.99. Like the Amazon bundle deal, this price includes a wall dock and 52 dust pouches, which should comfortably last for two years.

Still, this is easily the deepest ever discount and a solid bargain. Get the deal on Amazon.

Prime Day, Amazon’s big sale, runs from 21-22 June. Check out our dedicated article to find out everything you need to know to get the best deals.
