* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings
Some Australians are growing agitated at partners who aren’t pulling their weight in the area of household cleaning…and females in particular are the ones seeing red.
Our survey reveals our female respondents are more than twice as likely as males to feel their partners aren’t doing their part when it comes to household chores (26% of females compared to 11% of males).
This frustration is more widespread for our younger respondents, with Generation Y’s proving nearly three times more likely than Baby Boomer respondents to grow frustrated over their partner’s lack of cleaning initiative.
Our survey also looked at which vacuum cleaner brands are best. Dyson has received our most satisfied customers award for vacuum cleaners, against other popular brands Miele, Electrolux, Vax, Volta, Hoover and Kambrook.
While Dyson managed a clean sweep with five stars for every criteria (overall satisfaction, value for money, ease of use, noise, effectiveness of clean, and size), Miele also managed their own five star victory for their products’ noise (or lack thereof).
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to survey 2,500 Australian consumers across a range of categories every few months to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers of vacuum cleaners within the survey group - in this case, 1088 people. To qualify, the customer must have bought a vacuum cleaner in the last three years. Brands must receive at least 30 responses to be included.
Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands that received three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.

Another five stars were awarded to Dyson and four to Miele for their products’ value for money. Vax, Electrolux, Volta, Hoover and Kambrook all received three stars for this criteria.
