Vacuum Cleaner Buying Guide

Vacuum cleaners come in various styles, from traditional uprights and barrel models to sleek stick vacs and advanced robot cleaners. Some even offer mopping or steaming functions and smart features for added convenience. However, not all vacuums work on every floor type. Whether you have carpet, tile, hardwood, or a mix, choosing the right vacuum is essential for optimal results.

Read on to find the best vacuum cleaner for your needs.

Types of Vacuum Cleaners

Stick Vacuums

Stick vacuums like Samsung's Jet™ series have become more popular in recent years thanks to their sleek and convenient design. These vacuums consist of a battery powered motor and a long cylinder tube, or stick, as well as a range of detachable heads. These vacuums are available at a range of prices, but most models are great for quick cleaning.

Robot Vacuums

Robot vacuums may have seemed like an impossible technology a decade ago - but now, robot vacuum cleaners are becoming more and more common in Australian homes. Robot vacuums can run on specific schedules to regularly vacuum and even mop your floors, keeping your home tidy 24/7.

Other Vacuum Types

While stick and robot vacuums cover most cleaning needs, there are other types available.
However, they may lack the modern conveniences and flexibility of stick and robot models.

Price vs. Performance Considerations

You can find vacuum cleaners at a wide range of price points, with some stick models available for less than $50, and the most advanced robot vacuum cleaners on the market retailing for over $2000. With vacuum cleaners, which rely on powerful motors and high quality components, the more you invest in a model, the more likely you are to secure a quality unit that lasts for many years. However, you can still find great vacuum cleaners of all types at affordable prices.

If you want to get the most out of your vacuum cleaner, good maintenance is key. It’s also worth choosing a model with great warranties and technical support. Samsung, for example, offers live Chat Support and up to 10 years limited parts motor warranties on some models, so you can vacuum with peace of mind knowing that your model is built to last.

Some models feature elements of two lines, like the BESPOKE Jet Bot Combo™ AI.
