Australia sees deep robot vacuum discounts as new models prove carpet power
Major Australian retailers are offering steep price cuts on premium robot vacuums and mops, with discounts of up to 70% off models such as the ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S Pro (A$598, down from A$1,999) and the Roborock Qrevo L (A$649, down from A$1,699). Prices now range from about A$170 for basic units to around A$1,200 for advanced devices, while premium models can still reach A$2,000 when not on sale.
Separately, product testing in a two‑cat household highlighted four robot vacuums that excel on carpets and rugs, emphasizing suction power of at least 8,000 Pa for effective cleaning. The review noted that higher‑end models delivering 18,000‑35,000 Pa also tend to include mop functions and dual brush‑roll designs that handle pet hair and dense carpet fibers. Brands examined included Eufy, 3i, and others, with recommendations based on suction, brush design, obstacle navigation, and auto‑emptying capabilities.
Consumers can combine the sale information with the performance findings to select a robot vacuum that balances cost savings with the cleaning strength needed for carpeted homes, especially those with pets.
