Buying a new vacuum cleaner might not feel like the most exciting purchase, but if you’ve ever been stuck with a vacuum that sucks, or doesn’t, you’ll know having one that gets the job done makes all the difference.
We surveyed over 2,000 Australians on their most recent vacuum purchases to find the best-rated stick, barrel and upright, and robot vacuums.

Robo-vacs are saving Aussies time and headaches
As robot vacuums steadily become more accessible, it’s no surprise they’re growing in popularity. Our survey found 48% of Aussies say they regularly recommend a robot vacuum to their friends and family, and 52% say their robo-vac has made a big difference to the cleanliness of their floors.
With many Aussies vacuuming every few days (44%), and taking anywhere between 10-30 minutes depending on the size of their house, it appears robot vacuums are helping save a significant amount of time cleaning floors each week.
When it comes to vacuuming pet peeves, 25% of barrel vacuum owners said the biggest pain point was having to empty the barrel, and 18% said the length of the cord was giving them a headache. A third (33%) of stick vacuum owners said their biggest pet peeve was the vacuum not picking up everything after multiple attempts.
