This pint-sized sucker from Morphy Richards is no bigger than a basketball, so it uses less material in its production and it has an ‘eco-switch’ to save power. More amazing though is the price.

We’ve tested our Mini marvel at the Electricpig office and it works a treat. Sure, it doesn’t have the suction of the Electrolux Cyclone, or the stamina of a Dyson, but it does the job for less than £30 and fits in the drawer of a filing cabinet. The eco-switch cuts your suction power a little, but it’s fine for floorboards and saves you electricity. It’s aimed at the growing number of people living in single accommodation and Morphy looks set to sell squillions of them.
