Hoover beats Dyson by £1,000 with robot vacuum that 'picks up everything'
The Hoover HG4 Robot Vacuum Cleaner can been slashed to more than half price with a special discount code, making it cheaper than retailers like Amazon and Currys.
Shoppers can save £130 on the Hoover HG4 with a new discount code.
Let's face it, vacuuming the house is often at the bottom of our to-do lists, particularly after a hectic day at work or managing the children. This is where robot vacuums come in handy, as these futuristic gadgets gobble up dirt, dust and crumbs without users lifting a finger.
They help maintain cleanliness with minimal effort, and Hoover's latest deal shows these devices don't have to break the bank. The brand will slash £130 off the Hoover HG4 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, dropping it to £119 from the usual £249 thanks to a special code.
This significant discount can be claimed by entering the code ROBOT-DEAL at checkout, providing shoppers with this unbeatable price that beats rivals like Amazon and Currys. It's also more than £1,000 cheaper than Dyson's equivalent robot vacuum.
Hoover's robot vacuum comes equipped with home mapping, smart navigation features, and a powerful 4,000 suction, scanning the area using lasers to navigate around furniture and pets. While this specific model doesn't offer a self-emptying dust bag feature, it will return to its charging dock when the battery depletes and resume cleaning once fully charged.
It features a rotating brush composed of bristles and rubber blades that aid in sweeping debris into the suction flow. This is similar to features found on the eufy E28 robot vacuum (£999), which also boasts detangling brushes alongside a mop function, reports the Mirror.

Shoppers can cut the price of Hoover's robot vacuum cleaner by £130 with the code ROBOT-DEAL.
Built into the Hoover HG4 is a LIDAR radar navigation system, which enables it to chart each room, navigate around obstacles and steer clear of stairs. This differs from premium competitors, such as the Dyson 360 Vis Nav, which uses a 360-degree fisheye camera to scan a room.
However, Hoover holds the advantage when it comes cost, coming in at £1,080.99 cheaper with the discount code. Despite the substantial price gap between the two models, Hoover's HG4 robot vacuum can scan a house in less than 10 minutes, and following a swift setup via the app, enables users to establish customised cleaning schedules.
By way of comparison, the suction strength does vary, with Dyson's model offering 22,000Pa against Hoover's 4,000Pa. But as customer feedback shows, Hoover's far more affordable option still delivers results, with users indicating it's a perfect choice for routine household cleaning.
The Hoover HG4 maps out spaces in the room to clean and takes itself back to the docking station to charge when running low.
One customer said: "Very good for collecting small dust and regular small clean ups."
Another said: "It gets into all spaces, it has a rotating brush on the side that can get into corners. I put it on in the morning, leave for work and come home to a clean floor. It picks up everything. I have pets, and it's fab for picking up pet hair and stray cat litter."
The same customer said the Hoover HG4 is 'the best gadget' they'd ever bought, praising it for 'saving time and work'. Meanwhile, another said: "Excellent, light but with tremendous suction."
Some reviews have pointed out a potential snag with the radar light on certain models, noting it might not detect all obstacles due to its height. One user said: "The only downside so far is that the radar turret is a bit high and restricts it cleaning under some furniture. This can be resolved by blocking the restricted area on the app so just a small problem."
Sam Jones, a member of our team, put the Hoover 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop to the test to achieve sparkling floors while simultaneously collecting dust and debris. At £299, this model offers a space-saving solution for those who prefer to streamline their cleaning equipment, eliminating the need for separate mops and vacuums.
As a newcomer to robot vacuums, Sam was thoroughly impressed with the performance, as he expressed in his review: "It undoubtedly makes life a lot easier while, crucially, retailing at a sensible price point.

"You set the robot off to map your rooms, and I was blown away by how impressive this is. It does a really good job of keeping on top of crumbs, dust and muddy marks.
"There are a couple of little flaws, particularly around the app, which I think some less tech-savvy people might struggle with a bit, but overall I think it's excellent for the price point."
