I’ve been using this budget-friendly cordless vacuum to suck up my dog’s hair — and now it’s discounted by 40% post Prime Day

Having a furry companion comes with some serious pros and cons. As a dog mum to my five-year-old rescue pup, I’ve been blessed with both sides of the coin. I receive endless cuddles, sloppy smooches and literal puppy-dog eyes, but at the same time, my beige couch is constantly covered in thick black fur.

Thankfully, in the past month, I invested in a budget-friendly cordless vacuum that’s rescued me from having to work too hard every day cleaning up the fluff — and now it’s more affordable than ever.

Dreame, a lesser-known brand here in Australia, has a great line of wet-dry, robot and cordless vacuum cleaners, but my saving grace is the Dreame U20. It’s already remarkably affordable at AU$399.99 when at full price, but it’s now discounted by 40% on Amazon, bringing it down to just AU$239.99. That’s AU$160 off RRP and even more affordable than the very popular Shark IZ102 right now. Available in a gorgeous gold and beige colourway, the Dreame U20 is everything pet parents need and more, especially if you’re constantly sucking up fur from your hard floors and furniture.

You’d better act fast if you want to suck up these savings (pun absolutely intended) — this deal is only available on Dreame’s Amazon storefront while stocks last.

The Dreame U20 comes with a range of great accessories, including a combination crevice tool, a wall dock/charger and a multi-surface brush with LED blue lights that reveal hidden dust and debris. This particular attachment is paired with the extension rod for easy floor cleaning, flexible cleaning on blinds and walls, or hard-to-reach places. That’s excellent value for money, even if you bought it at its RRP.

My favourite attachment — and the main intrigue to the U20 — is the motorised mini brush, which clips into the main motor of the vacuum for handheld use. I particularly enjoy using this brush on my couch and decorative pillows, as it easily picks up pet hair and is extremely manoeuvrable. The aforementioned motor is also so powerful that it makes pet hair vanish in one stroke — cleaning up after my beloved pooch has never been easier.

The 60-minute runtime on the device is great for most homes, and I can easily vacuum my living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms within that time. I do find that my U20 performs better on hardwood floors and tiles compared to carpets, so do keep this in mind if you’re making this purchase.

It’s also worth noting that the U20 doesn’t have an LCD screen to show battery life or time remaining before the next charge. Instead, the battery life is displayed by a small vertical light on the back of the motor, which flashes when it needs charging. The motor is capable of running at three different speed modes, indicated by three lights on the top of the vacuum.

So, if you’re after a budget-friendly stick vacuum, I promise you that the Dreame U20 sure is dreamy.
