Get it if…

- It's for a medium-sized room.
- You want it to look after itself.
Skip it if…
- It's for a big open-plan space — get the Core 600S.
- Space is tight.
Things to know before you buy
- Bulky, so it's hard to place in small rooms.
- Not enough airflow for large or open-plan rooms.
RTINGS rates it very good for pet owners: it captures dander well, stays fairly quiet and its intake is designed to shrug off pet hair. It's bulky and not strong enough for big open-plan rooms.
How we reached this verdict
