Numatic Henry Quick Pet
The pet variant of the first cordless handstick offering from Numatic. The standard Henry Quick comes in three colours: red (Henry Quick), pink (Hetty Quick) and graphite.
This is a bagged vacuum, so the dust pods will need to be regularly replaced. Pods are often less messy than a dust container when it comes to emptying, so this might be a good option if you suffer from dust-related allergies.
As is often the case with cordless vacs, it has a detachable handheld unit for flexibility during cleaning. The floor nozzle is an electro brush, but this model also comes with a combi tool that doubles up as an upholstery nozzle and a furniture brush.

Samsung RB34C600EBN
With its power cool and power freeze settings, the Samsung RB34C600EBN fridge freezer is able to quickly reduce the temperature of a big shop. In addition to four shelves, there's an excellent veg drawer that supplies the appropriate humidity to keep salad and fruit fresh for as long as possible.
It's generally easy to use, but we did find that the fridge section takes a bit of an effort to clean all the nooks and crevices.
So should you buy this Samsung fridge freezer?

HP ENVY x360 13-bf0003na

This means it’s light enough to be carried around in a bag all day without causing much bother. It isn’t huge, but there are enough ports to keep most people happy.
But none of that guarantees a long battery life or a keyboard and trackpad that are smooth to use. That's where our expert lab testing comes in...

Check the Which? website
As well as telling you which products are best and which are lacking, we’ve also put together a list of the best and worst shops.
We’ve quizzed thousands of Which? members on their experiences of shopping in some of the country’s best-known stores and websites, as well as with lesser-known brands.
Watch out for sneaky tricks
Some retailers use underhand tactics to pressure you into making a purchase.
These include anchor pricing (when products are on sale more often than they aren’t), pressure selling (‘30 people are viewing this right now!’) and dubious claims about the ‘before’ price of a product.
Research customer reviews
It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all reviews are trustworthy.
Some sellers incentivise people to post fake positive reviews to drown out genuine negative ones. If you’re in any doubt, check our expert guide on how to spot a fake review.
Returning goods
The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, which begins on the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it’s always best to check before you buy.
