The past few years have been a revolution for the best cordless vacuum cleaners in Australia. Rechargeable batteries have become large and reliable enough that you can vacuum an entire house or apartment on a single charge.
Combined with the advancements of bagless vacuum technology, today's models make it easy to keep your home clean without having to constantly plug and unplug, or spend ridiculous amounts of money replacing bags.
Choosing the right cordless vacuum can be a challenge though. For a start, there are more and more models hitting the market every year.
Since launching BTTR three years ago, I've tested half a dozen stick vacuums in my own home. Out of all the cordless models I've reviewed, these are my clear favourites based on hands-on experience.
While I haven't tested every brand and model on the market, these are my recommendations based on extensive testing over the past few years.

Best cordless vacuum overall: Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra
If you're looking for a single cordless vacuum that can handle just about anything, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is my top pick. Yes, it's expensive at $1,699, but the sheer versatility makes it worth considering.
The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is a comprehensive cleaning system. The Active Dual Brush handles everyday floor cleaning, the slimline LED brush tackles hard floors brilliantly, the spray spinning sweeper mops as you vacuum, and the pet tool makes quick work of furniture and upholstery. Everything is included in the box.
The auto-empty base station (even if you do need to press a button to trigger it) means less frequent hands-on maintenance, and the 2 L dust bags lasts around three months.
The multiple brush heads mean you can actually clean your entire home – floors, furniture, awkward corners with a single device.
Battery life of 30-40 minutes in AI mode comfortably handled my three-bedroom home, and while the AI mode occasionally needs a manual boost for larger debris, the vacuum delivers consistent performance across different floor types.
The headline 400 W suction is mostly marketing (you'll rarely use Jet mode with its 14-minute battery), but the everyday performance is strong enough that it doesn't matter.
