Best Vacuum Cleaners for you and your home Australia
Updated 4 August 2026 · 6 mins readYou only really notice your old vacuum cleaner when it lets you down: the barrel that feels heavier every year as you haul it up the stairs, or the morning you walk into the kitchen to find the robot vacuum has been quietly doing laps of the tiles while you slept. Either moment usually ends the same way: time for a new one.
The trouble is that choosing one is more complicated than it looks. Stick versus barrel versus robot. Cordless runtime. Suction specs that don't always mean what they seem. Pet hair, carpet versus hard floors, and a price range that runs from under $200 to well over $2,000. It's a lot to weigh up.
This article cuts through it. We've picked the best vacuum cleaners for each situation (everyday cleaning, pet hair, lightweight use, tight budgets and hands-free robot cleaning), we'll help you work out which type of vacuum your home actually needs.

Air Conditioner Split System cleaning: Step-by-step
10 September 2026 · 5 mins readWondering how to clean your split system without booking a technician? Here’s the short answer: switch the unit off at the power point, wash the filters in warm soapy water, wipe down the indoor unit and vents, clear the drain, then clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit. Most people can work through the lot in under an hour, using things already in the cupboard.
This guide covers wall-mounted reverse cycle split systems, the most common type in Australian homes, including popular brands like Daikin air conditioning, Mitsubishi split system air conditioners, Fujitsu air conditioning, LG and Samsung. The steps are broadly the same whichever badge is on the front, though it’s always worth a quick look at your manual first. If you have ducted air conditioning or a multi-head system, the filter steps still apply, but ceiling and bulkhead units are usually best left to a professional.
