The unique thing about this cordless vacuum cleaner is that it adds a laser dust detection system, or a green light, that highlights all the dust on your floors so you can really clean them.

The company placed the laser at such an exact angle so that you can even spot dirt normally unseen by the naked eye. When you run the vacuum over a section, the laser will help you determine whether you’ve left any grime behind on the floor.

There are also two anti-tangle attachments, so it can deal with human or pet hair easily.

The new model,which sits above 2019’s V11, features the same LCD display as before, but this time it displays how the dust is actually composed - thanks to a new acoustic piezo sensor and microprocessor.

The new hardware monitors the air intake to determine both the size and quantity of the dust being sucked up and then all that data is sent to the display and the main motor to automatically increase the power and suction if necessary.

You can also see the vacuum mode and remaining battery life.
