I'm a floor-care expert and these are the best Prime Day vacuum cleaner deals I recommend for Aussie homes

We haven't tried this vacuum ourselves, but user reviews are glowing and there has to be some truth to what people claim about this affordable sucker (pun intended) And this is the cheapest it's ever been, beating its previous all-time low of AU$217, and it's sold out every time it's dropped in price like this.

Scoring almost five stars in our Shark Detect Pro Cordless vacuum cleaner review, we called this vacuum "a wonder". Versatile, powerful, offering automatic power adjustment and equally good at cleaning hard floors as it is on carpet, this is one of the best vacuums on the market, at a stellar price.

With powerful and dynamic suction, plenty of attachments and an auto-empty charging dock, this is arguably the best value non-Dyson cordless vacuum right now. Read our review for the full scoop. Often sold around the AU$750 price point, we have seen it as low as AU$608, but this is still a great deal on what is my pick of the best stick vacuum cleaner in Australia.

Dyson quietly released this model last year, offering a cheaper way to get yourself a wet-and-dry vacuum. It has lesser suction power than the V15s Detect, but we haven't been able to try it for ourselves yet. It also lasts no more than 40 minutes on a single charge. I'd say this would be better suited to smaller homes with hard floors.

To get an all-in-one robot vacuum at this price is fantastic value for money. In fact, this is the lowest price I can remember seeing for this model and I review vacuums regularly, so usually keep tabs on such things. Admittedly it's a slightly older model in Ecovacs' range, but it's still an efficient cleaner of hard floors, with 11,000Pa of suction and a 180-minute run time.

We haven't tested this Gen 3 model, but it certainly improves on the original significantly, which we have reviewed. We gave the original a strong 4 out of 5 stars, and that was for just a 5,300Pa suction — this gives you a whopping 25,000Pa. So it's a much better vacuum. It's also a better mop, and the base station has also been improved to offer better washing and drying of the pads. I also like the Dreame app more than Ecovacs. In fact, this is plenty of robovac for this price.

This robovac has some of the best obstacle avoidance we have seen in a robovac and it scored 4 stars in our Dreame X40 Ultra review. Even better, many of the complaints we had at the time (such as the slightly clunky app) have been fixed.

This is the robovac I would consider buying if I didn't already have a high-end Dreame machine that's been cleaning my home like... a dream. This Roborock is slimlined to crawl under furniture (no navigation puck here), and can raise not just its mop pads, but its side brush to avoid scattering and excessive tangling. Its headline act, however, has to be its cleaning prowess — our Roborock Saros 10R review didn't score 4.5 stars for nothing!

If you have only hard floors that need constant mopping, consider getting a wet-dry vacuum like this one instead of a regular cordless vac. This one will suck up any dirt or debris on your floor while it's mopping, so it's saving you time. It can also lie flat to get under low-lying furniture and clean itself with hot water and hot air.

This Roborock wet-dry vacuum will leave your hard floors sparkling clean thanks to powerful suction and effective cleaning. It can get up close to edges and the whole body can lay completely flat to help get underneath tricky to reach places. It's now at an all-time low price, but read our review to find out why it's still worth it.

It might cost more than any other wet-dry floor cleaner on this list, but it also offers more in terms of sheer performance. It has more suction to ensure it's able to pick up more dirt particles as it's mopping, and it's able to lie completely flat. It also uses hotter air than any model we've tested to try out the roller mop, practically disinfecting it in the process.

Already quite affordable, this corded upright machine features an extendible flexible hose that's fabulous if you need to vacuum stairs — just leave the heavy machine upstairs or downstairs and clean each step as you go. It promises to clean well too, although we haven't tested this at TechRadar, but with 84% of Amazon users giving it 5 stars, it must be doing something well.

It's a heavy machine but comes with plenty of features to ensure your floors are free of dirt and debris, including the floorhead being able to suck up dust while moving backwards. There are dirt-detect sensors and two brushrolls for the best clean possible, with dynamic suction working as you go along.

A newer range from Miele, the Guard series uses active charcoal in its filter to not just eliminate dust and pet hair, but also tackle odours that can build up inside a home. This machine, however, uses a dust bag, so you will need to take into account that it will require emptying and replacing at some point.

With no need for replacement bags, this Miele is both good-looking and powerful enough to ensure your floors are fur free. Unlike cordless vacuums, you'll get very limited accessories with this vacuum, but they all stow neatly into the body of the machine itself.
