  •  The Black and Decker SVJ520BFS 2 in 1 Dust Buster scored a low 32% with Which? – where it was deemed “awful at cleaning carpets” – but was given 3.8 stars by Amazon and 4.6 stars by Argos.
  •  The Nikon Coolpix A10 camera scored 34% with Which? – for its “slow start up time” and “poor image stabilisation” – but was given 4.5 stars at Currys PC World and 4.6 at Argos.
