Cheap Vacuum Question: Viomi A9 or Kmart?

poisongodmachine on 23/05/2023 - 15:07

I'm looking for a budget cordless vacuum, and I came across this deal for the Xiaomi Viomi A9: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/775102
While some reviews are good, some others are VERY bad (like "this doesn't work at all" bad).

I was thinking of maybe choosing this Kmart one: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/cordless-stick-vacuum-clean…
Most of the bad reviews for this one are basically "suction isn't as good as a Dyson" (well, no sh*t!)

I've had a few Anko appliances die on me after just a couple months use, so I was wondering about quality and longevity for this one.

    I have had the A9 for quite a while now and i absolutely love it. No issues whatsoever.

    I would pick it over Kmart/target/bigw stuff every day!

    I had a Kmart one for a while and used it every few days. Then I got a Xiaomi Dream v9 and omg I had to empty it like twice the first time I used it.

    Viomi A9 is good but it only lasted 15 months with heavy use.

    Got a kmart one and its not so great. It isnt terrible, but suction isnt so good unless on turbo mode, battery life isnt so good either. I got a black & decker one for like $170 on amazon. Its great!

    If you have eBay plus, you should be able to easily return the viomi if it doesn't suit your needs. I have one, it's only used in a small space, but it does what I bought it to do, it's fairly light, and it's comfortable to use. I don't generally shop at Kmart, but I'd imagine they also have a decent return policy. If you bought them both, you could see which one you like better and return the one you don't like
