In response to issues in other reviews – This vacuum is such good value for money that we bought a 2nd one for our guest rental property. My only issues are minor - paint on shaft scratches easily, and an addition of a power button that could operate in the on position rather than finger held would be useful. In response to issues raised in other reviews: 1. For those experiencing issues… Read more · 1
with carpet vacuuming, consider getting a specific carpet head, available online for less than $100, 2. To empty the dust cannister, simply twist the inner filter to pull out, clear debris and return with a simple twist and click.
Much Cheaper and a good product – We have had this Vac over 12 months ,works great and love the weight and power ,sure having it on the highest speed and doesnt last as long as lower speed but we do the floors first on lower speed and use the higher speed on carpets.We love it. Show details
Don’t be fooled! – People banging on about this being better than a dyson have no idea. All the Dysons I’ve used over the passed years are awful anyway. No suction! So not hard for anything to be “better than a dyson”. I tried this model after falling for the online reviews. The suction was okish. I have only floorboards and tiles. So not overworking the motor by… Read more
getting heaps of dirt out of carpet pile. I made sure I had a 3 year warranty with Kogan. Followed the instructions to the letter (waiting for the device to cool down before charging it. Turning the power off as soon as it finished charging). Lo’ and behold, under 2yrs, the battery only lasts 5mins. Now; batteries going, I see that. But not after less than 2 yrs! Maybe 5? Contacted Kogan. They cite this is “wear and tear”. Unsatisfactory battery life not covered. Contacted Dreame AU. They advised that this model is not in the AU range and all other sites are *unauthorised dealers* Only Dreame AU sell their authorised, and covered, products.
I’ll stick with my Hoover Dog and Cat corded vacuum (I don’t have pets, pet vacs just work better). Good luck out there. ✨

My first Cordless.....im in love! – Everything was well organized and wrapped in foam gives an excitement of learning how each things work. After the looks is our first test; on the beds then sofa using the mini- motorized nozzle. 1. I cannot believe my bed contain that much dust and lint. 2. no burning or motor smell. 3. the 3 power mode selector, I mostly use 2 then Max to… Read more
quickly finalize it. 4. the feeling was close to buying a new car, planning to use it on our cars soon. 5. install the charging bay...it simply makes life easier and a beauty to look at. 6. Best buy! with 5 cleaning attachments, 3 motorized nozzle and 2 brush nozzle.
Cleaning the filters(follow user manual) and getting a replacement hepa filter (ebay x2 for $11-13) is a must in case you feel like cleaning them all.
I will be willing to pay extended warranty if there is.
Enjoy the drive at Home guys!
In-depth reviews
Better than Dyson for half the price – My mate recommended this vacuum as basically "better than Dyson for half the price" and he's spot on. It's an unreal vacuum for the price; after 1 month of usage almost daily, I have no complaints whatsoever about the product. The only trouble is finding the one with the attachments you want: there's no standard language for the types of heads… Read more
used, so very hard to tell what's going to come in the box. I recommend getting the one I bought, called "Xiaomi Dreame V9 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Carpet Motorised Head (AU Model)" at Kogan, which comes with the wall mounting kit, and the upgraded motorised carpet head which spins a brush and is essentially for vacuuming your carpets. (Don't confuse this head for the "soft roller head" aka the standard base-level head, and far less useful on carpets. If you have any carpets just upgrade to the motorised head and forget the base one. I can confirm the upgraded one doesn't scratch my hardwood floors)
Constant clogging, difficult to empty, – I have a very hard time believing the reviews for this product are genuine. It is a cheap piece garbage. Literally every single time I try to empty the canister, I need to stick my fingers in as far as possible to try to remove the dirt and debris. Often, I need to use the back end of a spoon or something to get them out. This is due to the ring… Read more
inside the canister. Because the dirt is often trapped at this level, the vacuum clogs constantly while in use.
Suction power is miserable. I have to run it on full power mode to do my carpet, and even then it is simply not clean. On the standard level the thing won't even pick up grains of rice. And on high of course the noise is like a banshee and the battery dies in minutes.
When I use the thing, I literally keep the trigger down while I run to the bin and hold it over before releasing the power. This is because the tube will be full of stuff that will just instantly fall back to the floor, because it's not powerful enough to pull it all the way in.
The last sub-$100 plug-in vacuum I had beats this hands down.
I'm on this site now looking for a new one and signed up for an account just to write this review. Hopefully others will see and not make the same mistakes I did.
Thank you for letting us know about this. Your… Read more
Amazingly effective! – Was initially a bit worried going with a brand I hadn’t tried before, but have been pleasantly surprised! We have really tough light grey carpet in our apartment to which dust and fluff sticks. To make matters worse, our old vacuum used to cause fluff piles when rolling over the carpet, often making it worse. The Dreame is extremely effective on… Read more
the carpet on the highest setting, sucking up basically everything. It’s also perfect on tiles and hard floors, including on lower power settings.
It’s easy to empty and charge, and a real breeze to push around the floor. It’s so light and powerful that it almost feels like it’s pulling you across your floor, instead of you pushing it!
I only have two complaints which aren’t major enough to affect the rating. The battery isn’t amazing, which means less than 8 minutes on the highest mode which is necessary for my carpet will run the battery dry. Further, you need to constantly press the power button down to operate the suction. Understandably this is to avoid unnecessary usage and battery drain, but it’s also a bit tiresome.
Overall very happy.

After sales service is shocking!! – Xiaomi V9 is a good vaccum but once you out of warranty you cant get any spare parts let alone fixing it . Hopeless customer service ever. Do not buy it. Vaccum just died out yesterday after i purchased in June 2020. I tried to contact seller oz_accessory in ebay. No answers. Contact dreame company. They said they have changed management. No… Read more
assistance. Me stores that being listed it in the official Me global website said they not fixing it. They have no idea. So disappointed it! So shocking that such a big company that produces such a good product offered no assistance to customer. And you simply rely on your luck hopefully your vaccum will last. Do not purchase anymore product from this company.
UPDATE 06/01/2022: Ebay seller oz_accessory has offered to replace the motor. I sent the vaccum to their warehouse in Melbourne by my own expense and took them 10 days for sending back to me by Express Post. Overall, I am okay with their service.
Great vacuume. Lightweight and easy to use – We bought this vacuume after doing a lot of research. It is much cheaper than a Dyson, I think it looks better but it also works so well. It is so easy to use, works well on all surfaces and is so light. It is great to grab quickly to vacuume up pet hair or spills. The attachments are very useful. We also purchased the stand in white that goes with it so that it is neat and easy to store. Show details · 1
Excellent vacuum cleaner - much better than previous name brand – Dreame V9 vacuum has been brilliant. Very powerful and quiet with surprising results on both floating wooden floor and also carpet. Great attachments that get to difficult areas. A noticeable amount of extra contents in dust cylinder than our previous Dyson. Charging on wall mounted panel also convenient and easy. Would highly recommend this stick vacuum cleaner!
Negative reviews
Hate it – I brought this based on reviews, so disappointed all it does it move the dirt around. I have 2 bedrooms carpet the rest tiled. I’m now looking at having to buy another vacuum. Not what I expect from a $400 vacuum, Show details
Owned for 1 year, vacuum not as powerful as hoped and part now broken off so no longer usable – I've owned this vacuum for just over a year and have used it as a supplement to my robot vacuum cleaner, on a variety of surfaces (hardwood, tile, low pile carpet) but mainly it's purpose has been for the stairs and dusting cornices and corners where dust settles and is hard to reach. It replaced a Dyson barrel vacuum which I found cumbersome to… Read more
lug around a 2 story home. I found the suction on the Dreame V9 to be lacking for dust collection and the brush crevice tools bristles too soft, so they would bend a lot, making them not very effective. Additionally, when I last took out the vacuum to use, I noticed that the dust canister bottom was missing, and realised that it must have broken off and fallen into the bin together with the dirt in the canister when I last released the lid to clean: unfortunately by the time it came to my attention that this had happened, the street garbage collection had already occurred, so this part is now buried at the local rubbish tip. And the vacuum is no longer usable without this part. A great looking vacuum, and easy to handle/hold, but even without this mishap of the bottom piece breaking off I would not purchase again. I will be looking for something more powerful (especially now that I might need to replace after 1 year if this part is not available, unable to find one so far). I am a Xiaomi fan and wanted to really like this but am disappointed.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It… Read more (+2 replies)
Good for a year till it stopped working! – I'm one of the biggest Xiaomi supporter, I've got Watch, Lights, Cameras and I bought the Vacuum too thinking that it was another "well build and reasonably priced" product that made the brand great - big mistake! At the start was good but after 6-8 months suction & battery life was getting worse and worse. I didn't think much about it but one… Read more
day stopped working completely. Contacted the customer service and they told me that nothing could've been done because I bought it from Catch of the day so I had to contact them. The store from catch of the day contacted Xiaomi and basically the answer was: nothing can be done considering that was 1 month out of warranty. I really feel that the customer service from Xiaomi should've at least made some suggestion on how to resolve the matter. Very disappointing and definitely won't be buying more of their products.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It… Read more (+1 reply)

Convenient, not Great but value for money – Suction not that great, lasts only 5-7 mins on high power. Carpet roller stopped working after 2 years os usage.
Efficient but has a high pitched banshee like wail. Perfect for a horror movie sound track – The vacuum cleaner picked up dust well on tiles and floorboards and was easy to use. As mentioned the noise is the main problem. Ear muffs are a must when using. Show details · 1
Powerful stick vacuum, great battery life and awesome value – Coming from several Dyson models that didn’t have enough battery life to do our whole house we gave the Dreame V9 a go. 230 sqm house (mixture of tiles, timber and carpet) is easily done on medium power with some turbo action thrown in where needed. Never runs much below half battery life. I love the 'toggle' style power button option as you had… Read more · 1
to hold the Dyson button down constantly which was a pain. For the price this vacuum is awesome, and I’ll definitely look at xiaomi models next time I want to buy.
Great vacuum – Great suction on par with dyson, the battery life is a bit short on the Max setting however that's a minor issue, overall very happy with it. I recommend this product.
Dream stick vacuum – Works really well and is perfect for the areas we chose it for. Powerful and gets into areas we found difficult with our normal barrel vacuum. Would recommend especially with the extra powerhead.
Love this vacuum, awesome performance and an affordable price, but it does get clogged – We have a labrador that sheds fur wherever he goes. We had a couple of expensive vacuums with pet hair foot (the latest was a Dyson ball). I was sick of the cord and wanted something that I can just use daily (on carpet and tiles) to suck up the fur. The Xiaomi works well! I have had it for about 7 months and I'm so happy with it. The only… Read more · 2
downside is that it clogs up easily with larger pieces of dirt or too much fur which can happen quite often in our house. Never had any issues with battery or suction. Considering the affordable price I'd say it's a really good vacuum. We still have our plug in Dyson which doesn't compare with any cordless ones but this one is a nice one to do spot or in-between cleans.
Great cordless vacuum cleaner – I received this cordless vacuum cleaner 1 1/2 wks ago. It’s very versatile. I use it on carpet and cork. It’s very easy to use. My 10 year old granddaughter loves using it and vacuumed downstairs and the staircase. She demonstrated the vacuum cleaner with the different heads to her Aunty. It hangs on the wall and everything fits together… Read more · 1
very well. The suction is great. There are three different levels you can use and the maximum suction is very strong. Apparently on the lowest setting you can use it for 60 mins. It has not run out of power yer. I can highly recommend this cordless vacuum cleaner
Wonderful – This is a truly wonderful cordless stick vacuum. I got the carpet head, and it works a treat. I own a Dyson V8 absolute, and it picks up more on the lowest setting, even after going over the carpets with the Dyson on high first. (I had just taken the Dyson apart and thoroughly cleaned it, along with the filters). The battery lasts plenty long… Read more · 1
enough for my needs. I have absolutely loved the Dyson. I have had it for about 3 years. Times move on though, and Dreame V9 is even better. Especially for the money. It's a great machine. Just don't purchase one from Dick Smith/Kogan. They are rubbish.

Excellent value for money – This is a great little stick vac, it has excellent suction, plenty of useful attachments and does a great job on most surfaces. The only design flaw is the way you empty the dustbin, because it doesn't detach from the unit it's often tricky to empty without dust spilling out unpredictability and often right back onto the floor you just cleaned. If… Read more
they could fix this issue it'd easily be a 5 star in my opinion. But I'd still recommend this vacuum cleaner.
Best value – I highly recommend this Vacuum great suction easy to empty light best handheld I've had great value much cheaper than a Dyson do yourself a favour and purchase one Purchased from Gearbite $299 Jan 21
Amazing value for money – This product rivals my Dyson, and at a third of the price I can't fault it. The suction is strong, it's easy to maneuver and picks up very fine dust particles. Great value for money, I would recommend it. It far exceeded my expectations.
great product – After lots of research i decided to go for Dreame V9 ,price was excellent,attachemnts are very handy to have around all home,very happy with the product,speed of service was amazing,highly recommend.Will purchase again.
Best handheld I've ever had – I would highly recommend this vacuum I paid $299 from Gearbite much cheaper than Dyson great suction easy to empty very professionally packed I noticed it was reviewed by product review and rated 2nd best for 2021 behind Dyson so I purchased it and I'm happy I did well worth the price
Battery doesn’t last – Only got the vac in November 20 and chose it because of the good reviews. Was impressed by the great suction, but immensely disappointed that the battery only lasts about 15 minutes before you have to recharge it again. Show details
Love it - best stick vacuum I have ever had – I was looking for a new stick vacuum for a reasonable price - some are over $1000 - which was not an option. I saw the reviews for this one and it was reasonably priced and looked good. I received it a few weeks ago and I can honestly say that it is fantastic. Easy to use, holds charge well, lots of add on attachments that work very well for… Read more
different situations. We certainly recommend it in terms of value for money and effectiveness. It is very solid and doesn't feel like a cheap poorly built pick of equipment.
Very good value – I used to use Dyson V6 Handstick vacuum. To be fair, you need to use max setting with Dreame V9 to match Dyson's normal setting. It does the job for me. Pricing is so great I won't complain.
Started off great – For the first month my vac was great I raved about it to workmates... but now for some reason if I use it and then take my finger off the trigger, most of what I vacuumed up falls back out the head like it never made it to the bin part. I’ve checked and there isn’t any blockages. If anyone know how to fix this please let me know! Show details
Great value for money especially considering another brands – Lovely product especially when it comes to given price and compared to another brands of similar or same specifications. Top choice when considering buying cordless vacuum, i would highly recommend it!
Not as light as stated – Bought this for my elderly parents. Needed something light with a soft brush head to use on tiles & timber floors. Found it to be not as light as I thought it should be. Otherwise all good
Powerful and Light, Effective Stick Vacuum – The stick vacuum is powerful and light, it is very handy and convenient to use. It comes with several head attachments, with mechanical roller drive. One for carpet, one for hard flooring, and another smaller one for upholsteries. It also comes with wall mounting attachment that could store all the attachments and acts as a charging station.… Read more
Emptying the dust is relatively simple, just have to release the locking button for the bottom door to dump the dust onto the waste bin.
Good vacuum and good site – There are plenty of reviews about the Vacuum and we have found that this Vacuum meets our requirements. With regards to gearbite, the shipping was very fast, ordered around lunch time, got a notification about postage an hour after and the delivery was next day in Melbourne.
