Score: 95/100

This Tefal is the winner of our best bread maker tests, thanks to its ability to create airy, well-risen loaves with a delicious flavour and crunchy crust. Testers were impressed with the white, wholemeal and even gluten-free breads, and the included recipe book is full of ideas. A fabulous deal on a great appliance.

This stacked air fryer has an impressive two-drawer capacity without taking up masses of countertop space. The extra-large (9.5-litre) version of this air fryer scored an impressive 90/100 in our best air fryer tests – we loved the crisp, evenly-cooked food and thoughtful design – so we have no version that this slightly smaller model will perform brilliantly.

This clever flat mop has a bucket which squeezes out dirty water and refreshes the mop with clean water – all hands-free. This means the mop has the perfect level of wetness without smearing grime across your floors. It also glides beautifully and has an adjustable handle length – no wonder it's our best flat mop with a score of 89/100.

One to invest in before tackling the Christmas roast!

This model won ‘best value’ in our best heated clothes airer testing – and now it’s an even better deal. It managed to dry bedsheets in just one hour and 22 minutes, while clothes took less than three hours. It folds away neatly and can hold plenty of washing, too. Great rainy days and avoiding musty smells.

Our senior beauty writer, Florence Reeves-White, is in love with her compartmentalised laundry basket, which separates whites, darks and colours into three easy-carry tote bags. The fabric exterior blends into a room beautifully – no more ugly, overflowing baskets. Read her Joseph Joseph Tota Trio Laundry Basket review for the full story.

This innovative vacuum can convert from an upright to a handheld to a stick vacuum where the canister is held in your hand – great for carrying up stairs or reaching under furniture. It scored full marks for dust pick-up from carpets and hard flooring, pulling dust up from the depths of long-pile carpet and even between floorboards.

Score: 92/100

Dark mornings getting you down? Instead of a harsh alarm tone, our winning sunrise alarm clock will gently rouse you by slowly increasing the light, plus a natural alarm sound like birdsong. It also has a wind-down setting where it gradually dims to help you settle in for the night, as well as a ‘midnight’ function which can light the way for you without waking your partner.

Score: 94/100

Whip condensation off your windows and leave them gleaming with this clever window vacuum. It combines suction with a squeegee to suck away moisture, leaving surfaces streak-free and clean. This one by Kärcher (who invented the window vacuum!) comes with a microfibre cloth and edge cleaning tool for spotless results.

Score: 92/100

This stick vac comes with a docking station that charges the vacuum and automatically empties the bin – no more fishing around for clumps of hair and dust. It performed brilliantly, picking up 99% of dust from hard floors and earning the title of ‘best for pet hair’ in our best stick vacuums testing. The bendable stick is great for getting under furniture, too.

Score: 92/100

Spruce up your tatty old jumpers with our winning debobbler, which cuts through pilling with ease on all kinds of knitwear. The egg shape is comfortable to hold and you don’t even need to change the batteries since it’s rechargeable. The battery lasted a generous 90 minutes in our tests and recharged quickly, too.
