Is this Kmart cleaning gadget the secret weapon you need at home?

In the never-ending quest for a spotless home, homeowners look out for the next best aid that could make cleaning life easier.

With several options in the market, one of Australia's leading retailers threw a new contender into the ring with their latest offering.


Kmart introduced a cordless spot cleaner, which has caused quite a stir among shoppers.

Priced at $79, the cleaner should be able to tackle carpets, rugs, vehicle interiors, stairs, and fabric upholstery with ease.

The buzz began when Kmart showcased the cleaner in action on social media, demonstrating its convenience.

'It's cordless, lightweight and super easy to carry around,' a woman explained in the video.

'You just fill it up with water and a low foam cleaning solution.'

The visual transformation of the water from clear to grey as it cleaned a couch became a compelling testament to its effectiveness.

Yet, many still ask, is this really a valuable addition to your cleaning tools?


The Kmart spot cleaner promised to provide an affordable alternative to expensive cleaning equipment.

For unexpected spills, pet accidents, or high-traffic dirt accumulation, having a handy tool that does not require dragging out a full-sized cleaner could be a game-changer.

The convenience of a cordless device also meant less tangling and searching for outlets.

'Seriously, now you bring a cordless version out when I just bought the big corded one like a month ago,' a Kmart shopper lamented.

However, others shared their scepticism about the product.


A professional cleaner voiced concerns over the gadget.

'Another problem created to stuff up customer upholstery, rugs and the rest that comes with DIY home cleaning machines,' they wrote.

'It's a great idea, but nowhere near practical as it doesn't have strong suction and will definitely leave the materials over wet and eventually turn smelly, mouldy as well as damage some types of materials.'

Other shoppers suggested alternatives available from other hardware stores, as it could yield better results.


Before rushing out to grab Kmart's latest gadget, it's worth weighing the pros and cons.

Consider the types of messes you typically encounter and the materials you'll be cleaning.

If you're dealing with frequent small spills or have a pet prone to accidents, the convenience of the Kmart spot cleaner might outweigh its potential drawbacks.

On the other hand, if you're looking to clean larger areas or have valuable textiles, you should explore other options or even hire a professional cleaning service.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to each home's specific cleaning needs and preferences.
