I'm Lauren, Ideal Home's resident floorcare expert and Certified Expert in Vacuums. I tested this robot vacuum and mop in my three-bedroom home in Kent, which is a mixture of hard flooring and carpet. I used it every single day (and sometimes twice a day), testing out all of its cleaning and app functionalities.

Robot vacuums have been around for a while now, but in the past year or so, their popularity has soared - and they've changed, too, with many models now serving as robot vacuum mops. The latest addition to the pack? The Hoover HG2 Turbo Slim Hydro Robot Vacuum Cleaner, which boasts an RRP of just £269.
