Samsung claims the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is the world's most powerful stick vacuum in the world, with 400W of suction power.
The gadget, which was launched at the end of March, comes with
two batteries so owners can clean their whole home non-stop for 160 minutes.
A large capacity battery works continuously for up to 100 minutes depending on the strength setting, while there's also an inter-changeable secondary lightweight battery that will work for up to an hour.
The South Korean firm cheekily enlisted YouTuber Zac Alsop to gift Sir Dyson one of their own vacuums by turning up at their UK headquarters in Malmesbury,

You'll need to turn up at the Samsung KX store in Coal Drops Yard, London, near St Pancras International and Kings Cross stations.
In total, Samsung will be giving more than £90,000 worth.

I'm beating the heat with phone-controlled Dyson fan – sleep mode is great but best perk has nothing to do with cooling
I JUST visited Dyson's website and it told me 1,600 people were also looking at the same fan I've been trying out. I'm not surprised: it's 10 The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach has been beating the heat with a Dyson fan Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun 10 The hi-tech fan doesn't just cool you down – it'll warm your room up in the winter too Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun 10 The fan even has a night mode to cool you as you sleep Credit: Dyson The name is a mouthful admittedly, but don't let that put you off. This posh fan is an elite bit of cooling gear, and would probably be better suited on a spaceship than my desk. It cools you down, obviously. You'd expect that for £699.99. But it does so much more. Somehow, I'm convinced it's absolutely worth the money – but first, let's talk about how it looks. DYSON HP09 DESIGN – THE LOOKS This is one of Dyson's quintessential bladeless fans. Read more on Dyson It's the classic design of legendary inventor Sir James Dyson, who recently spoke to The Sun about ambition and the future of Britain. They're To an observer, there are no moving parts. No whirring blades that risk slicing a fingertip off (and it doesn't make that whoosh-whoosh-whoosh noise either). There is a blade-like impeller in the base that draws air in and accelerates it, pushing it out to create a cooling airflow. But you don't see any of that. You just feel wondrously cold. The one I've been trying has a white and gold trim that should suit most rooms. It's not gaudy – but it looks fancy enough to justify the price tag. Most read in Phones & Gadgets The squat design means that it's fine to live on the floor, but can also sit on a desk if you prefer. Dyson Purifier for £699.99 – Watch Sir James Dyson unveil secret PencilVac, world's slimmest vacuum cleaner And it can oscillate up to a whopping 350 degrees, so you can send a breeze to everyone in the room. Or just can have it locked to cool you and you alone. The choice is yours. All in all, it's especially pretty and, as a bonus, your pals will be impressed by (and envious of) your luxe gadget. Especially in the heat. DYSON HP09 PERFORMANCE – HOT OR COLD? This fan heats and cools. The clue is in the name: Hot+Cool. It does both very well, though I think its real benefit is heating. Cooling is fine, and works best when the fan is pointed directly at you. 10 The fan uses Dyson's classic bladeless design Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun 10 It has a built-in display – and can even show air quality live in real-time Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun But the heating function can really warm up an entire room very quickly, even if you're not in the line of fire. Some Dyson fans only cool, so having one that does both massively increases the value for money. After all, you can use it all year round. The cooling really does work, even when it's not at max power . And its reach is impressive – I can sit across the room and feel the breeze. It's not particularly loud unless you put it on power level 10, and even then it's not awful. You can easily have a conversation over it. 10 The Dyson fan comes with a remote that magnetically snaps to the top of the machine Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun I can sleep through it at max power too. But for light sleepers, there's a night mode that dims the built-in display and lets it run especially quietly. That's probably the best way to use it, especially if you're sharing a bed and value your relationship. DYSON HP09 FEATURES – THE BRAINS The Dyson comes with a remote control, which is a handy way to control fan speed, cooling power, and rotation. But I prefer using the app, which is free to download and has all of the same buttons. It's better because I always have my phone, but I'm not always with the remote. And if I've forgotten to turn it off before I go out, I can easily check on the app and shut it down. DYSON HP09 PURIFICATION – THE REAL PERK What I've completely avoided talking about up to this point is the purification. 10 You attach filters during setup – it only takes a few seconds Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun Why? Because I'm saving the best until last. The real perk of the fan isn't the heating or cooling – but its ability to preserve your life by scrubbing the air of pollutants. This fan comes with a series of filters (you snap them in during the 60-second setup) that snag all kind of nasties that would otherwise be entering your lungs. I don't know about you, but I quite like my respiratory system. 10 The app has all of the features you'd find on the remote – and plenty more Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun All of this can be monitored inside the app I was talking about earlier. It shows exactly how polluted the room is (and by what – down to specifics, including dreaded formaldehyde) and you can watch the levels go down as the fan works its magic. You can also see air quality reports on the fan's built-in display, but the screen gives a much more detailed view. Heating and cooling is fine, but it's hard to put a price on your health . WHERE CAN FORMALDEHYDE COME FROM IN YOUR HOME? Formaldehyde is a polluting gas that you'll often find in homes Here's Dyson's list of sources for the gas... Paint Varnish Glue Air freshener Mattresses Household cleaners Carpets Particleboard Plywood Electronics Dryer sheets Nail polish remover Moth balls Toys Fireplaces Wood-burning stoves Picture Credit: Dyson Sure, you're paying a lot. You can get fans for significantly cheaper. If you're on a budget, don't buy this. But if you've got the cash to spare and want a super fan, you can't go wrong with this model. The filters will last about a year, and you'll get an alert when it's time to change them. And they promise to remove 99.95% of particles down to a shockingly tiny 0.1 microns. That means you're waving goodbye to mould spores, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and (as the name suggests) irritating formaldehyde, which can come from paint, furniture, carpets, tech, and more. 10 You can monitor the air quality of your home in the app from anywhere in the world Credit: Sean Keach / The Sun You might not "see" the benefits, but having the peace of mind that you're not breathing in rubbish will help you sleep easier. So will the fan, though.
