Comparison · Cleaning

Robot or cordless stick: which suits how you live? Two eufy robots against the Henry Quick and Samsung Jet 75E

A robot cleans the floor while you are out and empties itself into a station; a stick cleans what you point it at, including stairs and the sofa, and empties into your hand. The robots here run for hours at their own pace; the sticks run for minutes at full power.

One is 65 W, the other 100 W; one publishes how it shares power, the other does not; one states PPS for Samsung phones, the other does not. Which to buy depends on the laptop, the phone and whether you want the arithmetic in writing.

Under-bed storage boxes and bags for low beds and small bedrooms

The gap under a bed is the biggest empty space in a small bedroom, and the wrong box wastes it. Six ways to use it, from a 15 cm fabric drawer to a 50-litre box that locks shut, chosen by height, length and how they move — because those decide whether it fits and whether you will actually pull it out.

What size air fryer do I need? Litres, portions and the cupboard gap, with real dimensions

Air fryers are sold by litres, and litres answer neither of the two questions a buyer actually has: how many people does it feed, and will it fit. This guide maps basket volume to portions using the makers' own figures, then shows why a 4-litre machine can be wider than a 9-litre one — with the measurements of four compact models to prove it.
