If, like me, you've ever dreamed of never having to clean again, then a robot vacuum like this one may be the solution you've been looking for. And better still? It won't break the bank, either.

'This robot vacuum is truly spectacular for the price,' raved one impressed five-star reviewer. 'I purchased a different model four years ago for the same amount, and it lacked many of the advanced features found here.

Yours for just £132.19 reduced from £329.94 (a huge 59 per cent discount), the Lubluelu L15 Plus is app-controlled and utterly easy to use, designed to vacuum and mop in one for a spotless clean that requires zero effort.
Ideal for carpets and hard floors alike, the robot vacuum works hard to keep your spaces clean, boasting powerful 5000PA suction that makes light work of dirt, debris and pet hair, while the mop mode tackles dirty floors with ease.
Whether you're cleaning the whole room or just the edges, you can pick and choose just how you want your clean to go. The vacuum will even increase the suction power to maximum when a carpet is detected, ensuring no muck is left behind.
Connecting seamlessly to your home Wi-Fi, the Lubluelu L15 Plus can be controlled using the easy-to-use app, which enables you to schedule, monitor in real-time, choose specifics of your cleaning, amend your home map, and so much more.
Got spaces you don't want your vac to go? It's easy to set up no-go zones to ensure your vacuum avoids areas such as pet bowls, cords, delicate rugs or even specific rooms – especially ideal when you're using it to mop hard floors.
The vacuum is suitable for big and small jobs alike, too, thanks to its huge 2L auto empty dock that automatically empties the collected dust and debris into an enclosed bag at the end of each clean and notifies you when the bag is full. Cleaning has never been so, well, clean.
But what did I think of the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum?
App and setup
Setup with this vacuum was incredibly easy, and it came with three-quarters of a tank of charge, which meant I could get straight to work after configuring the app – which took minutes.
Instantly, the little vacuum got to work mapping out my floorplan, working out each cleanable nook and cranny in a matter of minutes and translating them onto the map for me to see. Each cleaning space, or 'room', was neatly labelled for easy control.
Because that's one thing about this app-controlled vacuum – it's all incredibly easy to use.
Whether you're scheduling cleans, creating no-go areas, cleaning specific rooms, playing with suction levels, or even switching up the mop-wetness levels, everything is simple and user-friendly.
Vacuum
I sent the little vacuum out first to tackle my hard floor layout that hadn't been hoovered in a few weeks, so it was a reasonably tough first mission.
Despite being simply on 'Standard' suction mode rather than 'Strong' or 'Max', it made light work of dust, debris and hair, leaving my floors totally clean - and I didn't even have to pick up my handheld vacuum.
Skirting around chair and table legs with ease (which I wasn't expecting it to be able to do), it cleaned in the places that even I find hard to reach, like under the sofa and coffee tables.
This is all thanks to its fairly slim, low-to-the-ground design, which slips under furniture easily. It's worth noting that while the vac is low to the ground, it's not small in general, which feels at odds with its 250ml capacity.
It's quieter than I expected too, but probably just a touch too loud to ignore if you're watching TV in the same room with it. Far quieter than my current vacuum, which costs twice the price!
Now, you do have to make sure that any wires, blankets and shoelaces are tucked away, or it will suck them up and get all confused, but I now have a little pre-vac ritual where such things are tucked away for easy cleaning.
Dock
After each clean you send it out on, the vacuum returns to its dock and empties by itself, which makes a noise akin to a proper vacuum for about 30 seconds. Not too bad.
One small issue is that the dock requires lots of space around it for the vacuum to successfully find it to charge and empty, which I don't necessarily have. Thus, I have to move my table a bit in order for it to find its home.
Mop
The mop function of this little vacuum seriously impressed me, simply using water to scrub your floor clean. It was easy to fill the water tank, and even after mopping my entire flat, the water tank was only half empty.
You can choose how wet you'd like it to mop, from 'Low' to 'High, as well as what I chose – 'Medium', which left some slight wet residue but dried very quickly.
While it wasn't quite able to tackle my larger floor stains super easily, with a spritz of surface spray on each heavier mark a few minutes before, the vacuum was able to clean them away successfully.
Thus, while you shouldn't put detergents in the water tank, you could easily pop some on the floor for a deeper clean.
And once I was finished and my floors were spotless? I simply removed the Velcro mop head and chucked it in the washing machine. What could be easier?
Final verdict
I'll admit, when I saw the low price of the Lubluelu L15 Plus Robot Vacuum I didn't think it would work anywhere near as well as it did. But, truthfully, I'm so incredibly impressed by this vacuum that I can't see myself without it now.
Quickly and efficiently, it vacuums, sweeps and mops deftly, and comes with a very user-friendly app, sleek design and reasonably quiet performance; all for just over £130. It's a real bargain, if you ask me, and a total five out of five.

Mitigating cyber-risks in outsourcing: Contract strategies for compliance and protection
0 This content is contributed or sourced from third parties but has been subject to Finextra editorial review. A clear and present danger In recent years, several prominent UK businesses have faced significant technology and cybersecurity challenges and the consequences of data protection breaches. For example, in October 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) fined Equifax over £11 million for failing to manage and monitor the security of UK consumer data it had outsourced to its parent company based in the US. The breach allowed hackers to access the personal data of millions of people and exposed UK consumers to the risk of financial crime. As reported by Finextra on 15 May, NatWest's head of cyber security has revealed that the Bank faces 100 million cyber-attacks every month. That incident brought into sharp focus the risks and vulnerabilities which can arise where a customer outsources the handling of sensitive data, and the serious regulatory consequences faced by UK firms if they fail to ensure the safeguarding of sensitive information. Rules are rules Aside from principles of good business sense, obligations in relation to security and data protection are imposed on customers looking to outsource IT services to third parties via a range of regulatory and quasi-regulatory/industry measures. Regulatory measures in the UK include the requirements in the UK GDPR relating to security and data processor contracts, as well as more financial services-specific rules such as the FCA Operational Resilience regime, the FCA and PRA rules on material outsourcing and use of cloud, and the incoming FCA rules on use of Critical Third Party suppliers. Businesses operating in the EU (and by extension their relevant suppliers) must now also comply with the requirements of the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and its requirements in relation to critical IT services providers. Regulatory measures carry the added risk of sanctions and penalties from the relevant enforcement agencies if they are breached. Non-regulatory, but nonetheless important, requirements which impact many financial services business include the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCIDSS) which impose requirements on the security of card data, and the information security requirements of ISO27001. Get it in writing The typical provisions which a customer can try to include into contracts to meet its regulatory obligations, and otherwise to guard against (or at least provide some form of recourse in the event of) cyber and data infringements, can be grouped into two main types: (1) contract standards; and (2) rights and remedies. Contract standards Set out the general standards to which a supplier must conduct its business and provide their service(s) - for example in compliance with all laws and regulations, with professional skill and care and in accordance with good industry practice. standards to which a supplier must conduct its business and provide their service(s) - for example in compliance with all laws and regulations, with professional skill and care and in accordance with good industry practice. Set out any specific requirements which the supplier must meet which are intended to address particular cyber and data concerns, for example: Detailed security provisions, including compliance with the customer's own information and systems security policies Warranties of compliance with any information provided by the supplier pre-contract as part of the customer's due diligence process. Early warning requirements related to suspected cyber incidents or data breaches. Specific clauses designed to meet the requirements of the UK GDPR including: to exercise sufficient technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, to notify data breaches in good time, and controls on the export of data outside of the UK/EEA. Compliance with specific industry standards including PCIDSS and ISO27001 Regular conduct of security testing and the provision of results to the customer (this can be a source of debate - a customer may want the right to conduct its own testing (including penetration tests) but suppliers can be reluctant to give this, especially over systems used for multiple customers, and so a right to see the results of the supplier's own internal or third party testing may be the best which can be achieved). An obligation to rectify any detected weaknesses after testing. Restrictions against use of sub-contractors and/or AI systems without the customer's consent. Requirement to use at least 'industry – standard' cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, malware blockers etc. requirements which the supplier must meet which are intended to address particular cyber and data concerns, for example: Rights and remedies Making sure that the supplier's liability for losses which might be suffered due to a cyber or data breach are not excluded out of hand, or caught by a general exclusion of 'indirect or consequential' liability. Potentially no or separate/higher liability caps for issues such as breach of confidentiality, security, or data protection requirements. It is now not uncommon to have 'supercaps' for data liability (although suppliers may not accept uncapped liability given the potentially large data protection regulatory fines). Indemnities for issues such as security or data breach Audit rights for the customer (and also its regulators) - which would extend to the supplier's sub-contractors. Definite termination rights in the event of a cyber or data related breach A right to remove supplier personnel or sub-contractors or the service if there are any concerns. Prevention is always better than the cure, and the only sure-fire way to avoid cyber and data issues is to make sure that, practically, the appropriate measures and behaviours are put in place by suppliers. However, a well-drafted contract will make it clear what a supplier is required to do, meet any regulatory requirements for terms which must be included, provide the customer with various rights and remedies (ideally to try and catch and avoid problems before they escalate), and otherwise provide the customer with a potential claim for damages for breach of contract, or indemnity rights should the supplier fail to comply with the relevant terms and the customer suffers loss or liability as a result.
