The T3 Awards in association with Norton are back for 2024! This year, we’re championing and awarding the latest and greatest products from the past year, in terms of design, innovation and performance. As the in-person event is happening this week, we’ll be announcing the winners over the next few days, and we’re starting with Home and Style.
Home and Style is a fairly broad category, covering everything from vacuum cleaners and mattresses, office chairs and hair stylers, watches and electric toothbrushes. T3’s Home team have tried and tested hundreds of Home and Style products over the past year, and have found the best of the best that deserve your attention.
Below you’ll find all the Home and Style winners, plus our picks for highly commended and a list of our worthy nominees. This week, we’ll be announcing all Tech, Active and Home winners this week, so stay tuned to find out who will be taking home the prizes. For all the nominees, take a look at T3 Awards 2024 shortlist.
Best Vacuum Cleaner: Shark Detect Pro
Many big name brands released new innovative floor cleaning products this year, but our winner for the best vacuum cleaner for T3 Awards 2024 is the Shark Detect Pro. Shark has made a name for itself in the vacuum cleaner world, and its latest cordless vacuum is head and shoulders above the rest.
With its deep cleaning settings and multiple suction modes, the Shark Detect Pro has an attractive lightweight design and easily picks up dirt, dust and debris. Its Anti Hair Wrap technology works wonders on human and pet hair, and its reasonable price tag means its impressive design and performance is accessible to a wider audience.

Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Eufy Clean X9 Pro
As the best robot vacuum cleaners have taken over the home, it only seemed right to create a separate award for vacuums and robot vacuums. Our winner this year is the Eufy Clean X9 Pro, a hybrid robot-mop that offers exceptional fuss-free cleaning.
While the Eufy Clean X9 Pro’s vacuuming performance is exceptional, it’s the twin-mop system that earns it the award. Its circular mops clean hard floors better than most competitors on the market, and cleverly rises up when it detects carpets. It moves smoothly over floors, and its mapping process is one of the best around. Find out all the details in our Eufy Clean X9 Pro review.

Designed for large rooms and offices, it reaches up to 10 metres to pump clean air around the room, while filtering and destroying allergens, dust and bacteria at the same time.
