About Best Vacuum Cleaners Australia
We buy every vacuum we review, test it on real Australian floors, and publish the numbers — good or bad.
Best Vacuum Cleaners Australia started with a simple frustration: most vacuum cleaner "reviews" online are rewritten spec sheets, not independent testing. We wanted a resource written specifically for Australian homes — timber floorboards, floating floors, wool carpet, humid coastal climates and all — rather than a generic global buying guide.
What makes us different
Every model that appears on this site is purchased at full retail price by our team, exactly as a reader would buy it. We don't accept loaner units, and we don't accept payment from manufacturers in exchange for coverage or ranking. Our testing runs across the floor types most common in Australian homes, and we retest older recommendations as new models reach the local market.
Our testing criteria
- Sustained suction on carpet, hardwood, tile and rugs — not just the peak advertised figure
- Real-world battery runtime on medium power, not the marketing maximum
- Noise levels, measured in decibels during normal use
- Pet hair pickup on both carpet and upholstery
- Bin capacity, weight, filter maintenance and local warranty support
Read the full breakdown on our testing methodology page, or see how we keep coverage independent on our editorial policy page.
