Kmart’s $8 solution is turning heads for tackling invisible household inconvenience

When a humble $8 gadget starts trending online and earns positive reviews from professional cleaners, you know it's worth investigating.

Kmart's latest retail sensation isn't just another social media trend—it's a genuine game-changer, helping Aussies tackle one of the most annoying household chores with surprising ease.

Small size, big impact

​

Kmart's Mini Vacuum Cleaner currently has a 4.5-star review on the store's website and is suitable for household use. Yet don't let its size fool you.

This little powerhouse is designed to tackle irritating cleaning tasks that regular vacuum cleaners can't manage.

'I've seen these types of products all over TikTok and Amazon, and I've always wanted to know how well it actually works,' Caitie Browne shared.

'So when Kmart sent me this, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a go.'

The beauty of this mini marvel lies in its convenience. 'In order to clean it, there's a little push button on the bottom that you can just open up, and then you can just tip this straight into the bin,' Browne shared.

No more wrestling with heavy vacuum bags or complicated emptying procedures—just a simple push and tip.

Perfect for the places regular vacuums can't reach

​

For many of us, particularly those who find carrying a full-sized vacuum challenging, the Mini Vacuum offers a practical solution to those everyday cleaning frustrations.

Think keyboard crumbs, car cup holders, craft areas, pet hair, or those little bits that accumulate in drawers and cupboards.

Similar compact cleaning companions have gone viral online, so how does Kmart's version compare? The answer is: remarkably well, especially considering the price point.

Not the only $8 cleaning hero on the block

​

While the Mini Vacuum is making waves, it's not the only cleaning champion currently winning Kmart shoppers' hearts.

Kmart also released a 3 Piece Dusting Telescopic Set for $8, tackling dust like a pro.

An Australian professional cleaner praised Kmart's new $8 gadget for making one of the most challenging household chores much easier.

Professional cleaner Jason was so impressed, he joked about 'buying 50 of them' for his cleaning business.

While vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping often appear on most people's to-do lists, dusting often falls to the wayside due to the difficulty of cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

The telescopic dusting set addresses this perfectly. 'It's great for versatility, as it comes with three different head attachments for different uses, including a thin, flat, microfibre head for dusting walls, going under furniture or getting into tight areas, and can even be used to clean high windows if you spray glass cleaning solution onto it.'

Jason also said the budget-friendly product won't take up much room in your cleaning caddy.

'Rather than buying bulky tools like cobweb brooms and separate dusters for high/hard to reach areas, just grab this one product and do it all,' he shared.

Affordable innovation at home

​

From handy kitchen appliances to practical car accessories, Kmart has been famous for its wide range of gadgets in recent years.

However, what's particularly noteworthy is how these budget-friendly innovations address real-world problems that expensive alternatives often over-complicate.

From magic erasers to silicone dish scrubbers, Australians love a good cleaning trick—especially when it's affordable and easy to use.

For many older Australians, these products are practical solutions that keep the home looking its best with minimal effort.
