Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Russell Hobbs is the established-name budget option here, and the listing gives the practical figures: a 1.4kW motor, a 380 millilitre water tank, a 30 second heat-up, a 15 minute run-time and a 2.3 kilogram body in an upright form, corded, in white.
A 15 minute run-time from 380 millilitres is the number to plan around: it covers a normal kitchen and hallway in one fill but not a whole house. At the time of collection it carried 14,901 ratings at 4.1 stars, the largest budget sample here. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 14,901 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.
