Lidl's bestselling robot vacuum is coming back this week – here’s why you'll want it

If you’re looking for a budget robot vacuum cleaner, you might be surprised to find your local Lidl might have just the thing. This weekend, Lidl is bringing its bestselling Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner back to its stores, and at just £59.99, it’s a good, simple model that takes care of your cleaning for you.

As you might expect from such a cheap price, the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner isn’t as advanced as models you’d find from Dyson, Eufy or Roborock. But what you do get is still impressive, and if you hate vacuuming, the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner could solve that problem.

The Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner comes with three cleaning modes – Classic, Spot and Corner. This version of the robot vacuum doesn’t connect to an app but rather, you use a remote control to turn it on and off, and send it off to clean which it does so using its up to 2.2kPa suction power.

The Classic mode cleans with a ‘random navigation’ so it’ll move wherever you send it via the remote. The same can be said about Corner mode, except this function gets close to the edges of your home. The Spot mode cleans in a spiral pattern and is best used for places that the robot vacuum may have missed or particularly messy spots.

While it may not have map navigation within an app, the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner has six sensors – three sensitive anti-impact and three anti-drop. This ensures the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner doesn’t bump into anything or take a fall down your stairs.

Unlike a traditional robot vacuum, the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner doesn’t come with a charging or self-emptying dock. Instead, the top of the vacuum contains the 0.42L dust container which you can easily remove and empty. It doesn’t mop, but it has two side brushes to get into all areas for a deep clean.

In terms of battery, the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner has an integrated 2600mAh battery which offers up to 90 minutes of runtime on the lowest suction setting. The lowest setting is also extra quiet at 70 decibels when in operation.

Is the Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner basic? Yes, and you will find better models on the market. But for £60, you can really ask for much more and it takes floor cleaning out of your hands. The Silvercrest Robot Vacuum Cleaner is available to buy for £59.99 and is expected to arrive in select Lidl stores on 10th May.
