Best Vacuum Cleaners

required filter. Very disappointing. Their products are good, but at their prices they should be built to last and to be serviced. Probably foolishly, I have just replaced the V8 with the V10 cyclonic - I must be a glutton for punishment!

I bought this green colour vacuum cleaner in 2018 direct from miele we use only downstair in carpet area once a week. From day one when pulling cord… Read more

it was but hard as i have another same top of the line bronze vacuum cleaner bought from harvey norman cord pull easily. I didnt take it seriously the cord pull tight forast 8yrs till last week the cord rectractor not holding the cord and it immediately pull back inside and pull from power cable when vscuum. When i call miele repairer center at eastern creek they said labour plus part cost $240. As im a loyal miele customer since 2015 has 2 x miele top of line washer, 3 x miele vacuum including this, miele dishwasher, miele 90cm cooktop and miele 90cm.oven all i spent over 20k aud$.

Miele customer advocate first said get assessment report and then see replacement or discount for new one then when i mentioned miele centre quated me $240 for replacement and realign cord rectractor they said for the age of vacuum they csnt reemburse any money currently miele has promoton up to 350$ off rrp for vacuum and cqnt do much.

I emailed customer advocate as a loyal customer atleast share half price of repair cord rectractor share $120 and i pay $120 or 50% of new miele but no response.

I understand the vacuum is 8yrs old and motor works but with the broken cord retrsctor it useless and can get cheap electrolux for under 200$.

I think miele should have share repair cost. Not sure i overseen the cord tight rrqind from brand new made this and i feel should have repair or replace with brand new when it waa new.

I purchased the Dyson V11 Torque Drive in 2020. In 2025, the main motor stopped working and, because it was out of warranty, I had to pay $400 for a… Read more

new main body from Dyson. The replacement parts come with a one year warranty.

This year, in 2026 just 45 days after the warranty expired the main body failed again. This time, there is an issue with the power supplied to the motor attachment. I contacted Dyson and was told I would need to pay again for a new motor body, with no discount offered.

I have always used Dyson vacuums, but the quality seems to have declined significantly. I would expect a replacement motor body to last longer than one year and 45 days. I will be trying a different brand from now on.

Motor Head failed and customer service were no help.Had tp purchase another rechargable battery from another supplier

EXPENSIVE LUXURY I purchased this model even though it wasn't the newest model as the reveiws I read were better than other models. The reason I… Read more

purchased it was I was sick of lugging heavy vacuum cleaner around and wanted a quick and easy way to clean up my rooms when I didn't have a lot of time to spare

What I like is that is the ease of just grabbing the cleaner no cords or dragging a heavy vacuum around and it is really good at picking up pet fur, nothing gets caught around the head, so it remains clean at all times. The swivel head makes it easy to maneuver and there is a charging doc we have attached to the wall so the vacuum is always charged, but unfortunately there are more negatives that positives to owning one of these types of vacuums

what could be better is,

There are different connections for each for floor and carpet, not easy to pull each attachment off and unless you place on the corner attachment nothing will be picked up so a lot of time is wasted swapping the attachments over each time you see a crumb

The head has been set up so nothing wraps around it, but it will also not pick up any larger bits on your floor

An example of this is I smashed a glass on tiles, and I tried to use the Dyson to clean it up and the head would not pick up the pieces very well, I could hear the glass just going around in circles in the head so it appears only really good for pet hair or any dust.

The vacuum does get heavy after a while and as you need to pull the trigger your finger becomes sore, so I'm always swapping hands

If you have a large house the battery may not last for the whole clean

Over all I would not get rid of my usual plug-in floor vacuum

There is a place for the Dyson in your home for ease during those times you are having unexpected guests and need a quick fix but won't help if you have a real mess to clean up

It’s one of the best vacuums I’ve owned. It’s compact and easy to store. It handles everything from pet hair to crumbs on both carpet and hard floors… Read more

without missing a beat.

It’s also pretty quiet, which is a nice bonus, and the attachments make it super versatile for corners, furniture, and even the car. The vacuum bags are easy to change and not too messy, though they do add a bit to the running cost. Still, totally worth it for how clean it gets the place.

Good communication and speedy postage..great product, easy to operate. Overall a positive experience. Show details

It has made cleaning so much easier for me as I have arthritis in my hands so the auto clean is amazing. Show details

I have have 2 V10 Dyson vacuum cleaners, both have had the trigger guards break off. I have fairly large fingers, consequently, when the vacuum cleaner is being held, pressure is put on the trigger guard. The trigger guard needs to be thicker. Show details

a German Shepherd who leaves his hair everywhere. As I had had a Dyson before I decided I wanted another Dyson vacuum cleaner. After looking at quite a few different Dyson vacuum cleaners to go with this one as I didn’t want the same problem I’ve had with the V6 slimline it wouldn’t keep its charge even though it said it was charging you go to use it. You do two minutes of vacuum cleaning and it wouldn’t have any more charge in it, I am very happy with this vacuum cleaner. It does a great job on the carpets and the wooden floors gets all the dog and I am surprised of how much stuff comes out of the carpet as I vacuum probably twice a week because of my German Shepherd . I’ve had it now for two months and I love all the attachments that I can get into tight spots with the attachments clean the skirting boards or reach up hi with the attachments to get the cobwebs down. Would highly recommend this vacuum cleaner to any pet lover.

has had a problem with their Legee D8 vacuum has had no satisfaction with their customer service and been left with a lemon they can not get fixed.

Worst company to deal with under warranty. Refuse warranty for reasons they technically made up. The machine with mop is extremely faulty. Just… Read more

google the complaints from 100s of people all around the world. Facebook, redit ect hundreds of the exact same complaint. Then after your machine leaks on day one, they exchange it for another faulty unit then exchange it for another faulty unit. To then blame you when that one is also faulty. Because the company is in receivership and going broke because their product is so faulty. The mops leak from day 1, they send out seals to help that leak after a few months, then apparently its our fault and deny warranty so they can save money.

They know their product is faulty, hence the seal kit that needs replacing over and over again.

Do not buy this product or anything from this company.

I’m extremely disappointed with Roborock’s customer service. After they wrote to me confirming that they would replace my damaged unit with a brand… Read more

new one within two weeks, they completely backtracked and failed to honor their word. It takes weeks to get a simple reply, and they’ve had my damaged Roborock for over four months now without any immediate action. Their replies are obviously AI-generated, extremely repetitive, and unhelpful. Their communication is misleading, and they do not stand by their promises. I expected far better integrity from a company like this. I would not trust them again

Henry vacuums vinyl floor covering, tiles and caret and occasionally the car. Hoses and bags have been constantly available. I think we paid $400, a lot at the time but hell we have had our money's worth. Sorry no receipt but it was 32 years back OK?

Great suction power, but often have a short battery life – My first Bosch Athlet cordless vacuum cleaner was amazing. Very strong suction, picking up everything and leaving my carpet looking great.… Read more

Unfortunately it stopped working after 10 months. The battery had died. Luckily it was still under warranty so I got a replacement from Bosch- free of charge. When the battery goes - it’s useless as the battery is built-in. My friend found herself in the same situation. I have had my current one for 3 years and it hasn’t missed a beat. It’s such a great vacuum cleaner, so I hope it’s battery holds out a few more years.

Does the job – Great value for money Good on marble and think hard carpet Show details

It does a really good job and quite smart. I like it a lot, just I would have given 5 stars if it had at least voice activation or assistant in it. Using Alexa for that is not quite there as we never manage to learn the specific voice prompts. Show details

The best cleaning equipment I have ever used so far, much better than the robot. Show details

Light and works fine however it is made of cheap hard plastic. The clips that join motor to vacuum bag broke not long after use. After 6 weeks it is held together with duct tape. Inexpensive but save your money.

This thing has basically changed my life. We didn't know what we were missing out on with a vacuum only model before; having it vac+mop every other… Read more

day (tiles and hardwood flooring, 2 cats) has been a major step up. The floors are literally always clean, even after we've been away.

The auto mop washing is awesome. Filling/emptying the tanks rolls around more often than I expected but I don't actually mind as it just reminds me how much cleaning it's done; I do suggest putting the dock somewhere near a bathroom so it's easy to top up and empty.

The vacuum + mop works better than expected, I kind of thought I'd have to vacuum *then* mop but it works well as one mode. Super happy with this purchase.

We got the 2-4-1 deal on the Pro model. They were well packaged and arrived promptly. The performance is remarkable, both sucking and blowing. A real asset for both the odd accident and serious cleaning. Show details

expectations, Is especially light to use has extra long cord, a light, able to vacuum all my apartment without having to stop. The Hepa filter is a must for my Asthma. A good range of accessories come with and more available to purchase. The SEBO video on You tube explains how to take care of the Vacuum, easy to follow. My previous SEBO cleaner was still working after 30 years. I chose to retire it for a younger model. Sebo have replacement parts readily available for their cleaners

So far so good, you wouldn't know that it had been refurbished. Has worked really well so far and with regular cleaning out it seems to be going… Read more

well. It has got stuck a couple of times but that was more of a me issue making sure cables are kept off the ground. Really happy with the performance especially the mop.

Poor customer service. Ordered on 10th May but still not received. Unprofessional customer support. Will never recommend anyone to buy roborock. Show details

Very Disappointed – After 12 months of purchasing this vacuum and minor usage, I have decided to review it. After doing a great deal of research and reading reviews… Read more

from Choice on the Sebo K3 Premium I decided to purchase one. I really needed a quality vacuum that cleaned deeply and got rid of dirt and pet hair.

Nowhere did I read that beware using the motor head on certain carpet! The motor head is so powerful with hard bristles and spins furiously.

First try using the cleaner I ran it over a section of my carpet and to my horror it fluffed up my loop pile carpet causing damage. It wasn’t until I read the small print in the paperwork that it said not to use on any form of loop pile carpet.

On my timber floors it’s not that much better than my Dyson.

It has great suction and runs really quietly. Build is quality but it’s cumbersome to drag around and the hose is always kinking and cutting the air flow. The power cord is so touchy and just starts retracing back into the cleaner and reefing out of the power point.

I am really thankful that I still have my Dyson cordless to use, so quick and easy! I use it religiously and might get out the Sebo every month or two for a deeper clean using the standard head!

Now after purchasing in September 2022 it is playing up and continuously with the power cutting off. Obviously some sort of connection issue? You have to jiggle the cord or hose to get it running. The suction is also inconsistent. Such a shame as it is a sturdy powerful and quiet machine.

I am so disappointed that I spent so much money on a corded vacuum where you even have to change the bags.

spot repeatedly to remove dog hair etc. I'm not sure but maybe there is something wrong with it ? Same from new, very weak suction.

Product arrived faulty with cliff sensors not functioning. Contacted support and they didn’t really offer help or solutions so had to return it. Was looking forward to it and reducing work cleaning but really didn’t live up to expectations. Show details

up dog hair any better than a cheap one. Can't be used on loops pile carpet and too heavy for stairs. Someone was smoking something bad when they designed it. The brush is part of the the handle so impossible to get cobwebs. The brush hairs fallout. (Emailed Miele and no reply) The canister is small and have to stop and go behind to see how much is in the canister. Insane design. The turbo brush is ok but hates threads or bits of paper and other things so sweep first.

charge and the operating time came down to a measly 10 minutes and the suction , sucked.

Eventually I decided on this Shark .

It was smaller than the photos would have you believe ,when it arrived I pieced it together and took it for a spin.

The suction was fantastic and I found on some surfaces I had to open the relief valve to drop the suction power .

I tried it with the canister detached and then with the wand detached , using to reach up into the ceiling for stray cobwebs and going under low furniture and my bed .

I then without telling my wife , went over some rooms she had vacuumed a few days earlier with the older vacuum cleaner she swears by, and as you can see In the photo I ended up with a canister full of dust and grime .

I have included a photo of the old vacuum cleaner, a well known brand that has factories all over the planet , and a well respected brand at that.

Out of curiosity I compared the noise level to the old vacuum cleaner, because this Shark seemed very quiet in comparison but the decibel reading were 88db for the old model and 80db for the Shark.

I put what I was hearing down to a different pitch level in the noise a bit like comparing bass to a midrange or treble.

The Shark was used on mainly wooden floors with plenty of rugs and hall runners in the mix . I didn't bother to lower the suction when shifting from the rugs to the wooden floor , it was not necessary, it was only the small light weight mats than presented a problem with the suction being too strong for these .

You have heard of washing machines swallowing socks never to be seen again well, this vacuum cleaner did the same thing , at first I could not find it in the hosing but then spotted it in the actual barrel with all the rubbish.

A couple of gripes here .

I found I could not sustain vacuuming the ceiling for long because the sheer weight of the hose and fittings were too much for me, being old, tired and decrepid probably explains why.

The other thing is, the cannister when detached is clumsy, there is no up or down unless you are actually holding it with one hand a bit like those old fashion astronauts walking to the rocket with their aux air tank , it falls all over the place. One more thing , I found the brush sliding attachment would not stay in place on the wand until I physically bent the plastic locking mechanism.

All in All I am more than satisfied , it does the job , is not to heavy to push around and with being able to detach parts to suit my needs it proved more than just a common old vacuum cleaner .

Incidentally, I got this at a steal , as there was no stock so had to wait a few weeks, but when it was in stock the price shot up to the recommended retail price only to fall again a few days later, so just be careful when buying this item as the price is volatile and never pay full price, just shop around.

Extremely disappointed with the poor quality product and terrible customer service from Dreame Robo Vacuum. The customer care number never connects,… Read more

and there is no proper support available. I have been forced to follow up through emails only and so far I have sent more than 30 emails regarding the same issue.

I even sent the Dreame Robo Vacuum back to the company for repair months ago, but there has still been no proper resolution or update. Every time I follow up, I receive a completely different response from a different team member, with no consistency, accountability, or actual help provided.

No one from the company has even bothered to call and discuss the issue properly. This has been one of the most frustrating after-sales service experiences I have ever dealt with.

Ticket Number: Ticket#OLVQGGXAP9X — and still waiting for a solution after months.

I would strongly recommend others to think twice before purchasing from Dreame unless they are prepared to deal with extremely poor customer service and endless follow-ups.
