Dyson V15 Detect alternatives
For most homes, the Shark Stratos is the alternative to get: reviewers rate its cleaning close to the V15's, and at the prices we checked it cost about half as much. If your floors are mostly hard and you want the longest battery, the lighter Dreame R20 costs about the same.
Cheaper alternatives
KitchenAid Artisan alternatives
Get the Kenwood kMix unless you specifically want the KitchenAid look. In side-by-side tests it made cakes as well as the Artisan, it has a bigger bowl and a far bigger motor, and at the prices we checked it cost less than half as much.

How we work
Cheaper isn't the goal. Better value is.
We show our sources
Every pick rests on at least two independent expert reviews and the maker's own specs, linked on the page.
Honest price levels
Prices change daily, so we show how expensive a product is, from prices we checked at major shops, and send you to today's price.
We say when to pay more
Every alternatives guide says who should still buy the original. We don't pretend to test what we haven't.
