This is a special edition model available in flashy colours, but a standard version comes in at a few pounds less. Perfectly fine for basic jobs; however, this vacuum cleaner struggles slightly with heavier debris. Design and Features

For cleaning spills you must first empty the storage compartment for the sake of keeping the vacuum cleaner working, a simple enough task but one that again shows a flaw in the Beldray. The clear dust compartment is a clever way of showing when the vacuum needs emptying, but due to the design of the compartment, it’s next to impossible to remove all debris. While it may only make the vacuum unsightly, it is rather annoying. The vacuum head is suitable for all floor types, and the included crevice and brush tools helps to reach those difficult high-up areas. Featuring a slim design, this vacuum is perfectly compact with a wall mountable design and a 6m power cord with cord storage.Initial impressions are what you’d expect for a budget wet and dry vacuum cleaner. The plastics feel robust enough, if not brimming with a quality feel. There is only one button (on/off) which makes operating it very simple. LEDs at the front of the floor head help light up where you’re going and it’s nice to see this on such a low-cost vacuum cleaner. Using the crevice tool we set to work cleaning the boot of the car and the suction was good. It lifted the larger bits of dirt with ease and despite the fact it didn’t feature a boost function, it never struggled. The inclusion of only two attachments is limiting, a brush or flexible crevice tool would make all the difference, especially for cleaning the inside of a car. Boasting LED headlights within the motorised head for improved visibility, the vac is easy to store simply clip onto the storage hook.

With a 2 in 1 crevice tool for those hard-to-reach areas, this ultra-light and compact vacuum is perfect for everyday clean-ups. It’s good to see that this tool can clip onto the wand, so you can carry it around as you get on with your vacuuming. The entire bin can be removed, providing access to the filter at the rear. This should be washed regularly to keep suction power at its maximum level. Performance You can’t expect a lot of power from a cheap vacuum cleaner such as this, and the Beldray 2-In-1 Cordless Vacuum (BEL01088ALFOB) doesn’t have a lot of raw power. Measuring it at the nozzle, I tested the cleaner’s power in airwatts (AW) – this uses both suction power and airflow. On low power, the cleaner got 22AW, which is very low, while high power jumped to 38AW, which is still a lot lower than much of the competition. Perfect for cleaning floor to ceiling, this corded vacuum cleaner by Beldray converts to a handheld unit for effortless cleaning.

No fancy press car polished more than a mirror for us, this vacuum was tested on the boot of a real person’s car. The boot was in everyday use and provided the perfect testbed for the Beldray. If it could prove itself here, it would be perfect for domestic use.
