Greetings everyone, I noticed this while looking for a deal on this vacuum. It's not the cheapest it has been on face value but can be turned into a very good deal with a combination of things.

This is Australian stock and according to the page, metro should receive this in 1-3 business days, so good for xmas. According to the user barryquinn this might vary. The only thing I'm unsure about is whether it comes with an Australian plug, but considering that it's Kogan, I believe it should.

To maximise this deal I recommend: Purchasing $380 worth of Kogan gift cards from Here, then looking for a $30 off $120 spend or $20 off credit from a user on the classifieds, this will potentially chuck it below $300 for aus stock! Very hard to achieve, but even with the gift cards it's a good price :)

I have found a few listings for these $20 off vouchers on eBay Here. Please note, I am not associated at all with this user, just noticed it then. Using this voucher alongside discounted gift cards would bring the total down to $305.15.

The user steveau explains a perfect way to get it at $308.5 Delivered.

As always, enjoy!

    Will be dispatched in 1-3 business days, not received! It's a good deal. I bought one yesterday morning - it hasn't been dispatched yet, and I'm not really expecting to get it by Friday.

    • doweyy on 19/12/2017 - 15:24

      Damn, thanks for the update, I'll edit the post to accomodate. Are you in metro?

        Yes. Sydney.

        • barryquinn on 22/12/2017 - 16:42

          @la838: I bought mine on 18th. Dispatch was supposed to be on 19th. Sent email to Kogan 21st, querying dispatch date. No reply by 4:42pm 22nd! Happy Christmas!

        • sky blu on 22/12/2017 - 19:08

          @la838: Got an email re shipping out today 22/12. No tracking info though, it only says "Regular Post". So weird.

        • barryquinn on 22/12/2017 - 19:58

          @sky blu: still no reply. I’ve sent off an angry email.

          @barryquinn: My order has now “dispatched”, probably from HK. I also have a tracking number. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to arrive, given the Christmas break and Australia Post holidays.

        • sky blu on 23/12/2017 - 19:25

          @barryquinn: I have news. But, don't get mad… mine was delivered this morning!

    I am also on the market for robot vacuums but I am not sure about this brand. Also I don't want to spend more than $250 that's why I am looking for a second hand one on gumtree : )

          Same here! Best thing I’ve ever purchased. Without doubt.

        • Deadalready on 19/12/2017 - 19:50

          @Pratty:
          Does this actually have the ability to learn, or set rooms?
          I have had a similar one (which quickly died) but it was constantly getting stuck and you had to manually put down a laser grid to stop it entering an area.

        • Pratty on 19/12/2017 - 22:15

          @Deadalready: You can buy magnetic strip tape (or close doors) to stop it entering certain places. Unfortunately no other way is possible.

          The newer model Xiaomi vacuum allows you to select different zones on your floor plan and the vacuum will clean or avoid. Also has the mopping function.

        • sky blu on 20/12/2017 - 00:26

          @Pratty: Wait I thought the "newer model" adds the mopping function, but the original/v1 still has zone-control via app?

          Definitely for the price. It's $1000 less than the roomba 980 and performs better in every way. Check out the comparison on YouTube. Xiaomi Mi Robot is amazing. I believe the other brands are just overpriced.

      Going by posts here, this one is head and shoulders above anything else. I have been waiting for it to drop below $300 before I dip into my wallet. It has been very close. My wife doesn't want it but I'm just going to ask for forgiveness when the time comes.

    • Deviner on 19/12/2017 - 16:12

      Just give each of the sensors a little clean with a wet tissue (the app tells you where they all are) and then hit the reset button on the app and you're sorted.

          Haha, nah I think tissue and water will do! :)
          The sensors are behind a little plastic window so you're only cleaning the window in case dust/dirt builds up on it as far as I can tell!

So I spent $308.50 and still have a $1 Kogan gift card to my name :D Thanks heaps again! It was a nerve wracking experience but it worked exactly as you described.

    Done

    Just ordered, cost me $315

    3x100 vouchers, 1x50 voucher (3x85 + 42.50 = $297.50)

    then one of those $7 vouchers that gave me $20 off any purchase over $100

    That took me to $350 out of $359 - so had to pay the last $9 via paypal.

    Total spend $297.50 + $7 + $9 = $313.50

    Also used cashrewards when purchasing the vouchers, so might get a few more dollars back

    Anyone got information on suction versus a v6, v7, v8 etc?

    Trying to decide between this or a cordless Dyson.

    Leaning towards a cordless Dyson because of better more use case scenarios but one of these would also be nice if the suction and overall cleaning power is up to snuff.

  • brisneylander on 19/12/2017 - 17:53

    I'm ready to buy based on this deal. Its quite complicated finding/using the 20 off 100 vouchers, so I would be keen even to pay with 3 x 100 and 1 x 50 voucher, then pay remaining $29 with paypal.

    What I cant see is on checkout screen how you redeem the vouchers rather than paying with card/paypal. Is that on the screen after where you put your name, email and phone number?

    Any help appreciated.

    • The Hobo on 19/12/2017 - 18:23

      You redeem the gift cards in "my account". it then sits as a credit in your kogan account

      ie. you apply the gift cards to your account, not to your order.

      • brisneylander on 19/12/2017 - 18:35

        Thanks Deeps. That makes sense. I've just created an account and now can see where to redeem the gift cards.

    Are they any safer than a hover-board?

    I can just see these things being left to clean units for years on end. Over time the occupants forget they are there doing sucking up each day's poultice.

    Then one day one fouls up with fluff, overheats or its Li-Ion battery explodes whilst charging or for some other reason, burning a tower block to the ground.

    Tech frees us (to work longer and harder). Maybe also to lose our loved ones faster.

  • la838 on 19/12/2017 - 21:33

    I have one of those $30 off $120 vouchers. Am I able to just buy 7 of these $50 gift cards (so $350 worth), and then just use the $30 off since the vacuum is $379? Does the math work that way?

    • doweyy on 19/12/2017 - 22:04

      That’s correct, the only thing I’m unsure of is if you can use 7 gift cards in one transaction, really hope someone can answer that.

      Actually, the $100 one seems like it’s back in stock so you can do the 3x $100 + 1x$50 and it will net the best result for you, $297.50 with $1 credit left over :)

      • l2p10 on 19/12/2017 - 22:38
        +2

        Thanks OP. I been waiting for a deal on this vacuum cleaner for a while now.

        What I did was, bought 7x$50 Kogan gift card @ $297.50 using two ebay accounts. You can apply/stash all the gift cards to your Kogan account.

        Then I bought the $20 off $100 spent voucher for $7 from Ebay. Received the coupon code ~10 mins after purchase. (I am not in any way associated with this seller, chose it coz it has the most sales). Paid the rest of the $9.

        So total = 297.50+7+9=313.50

        Thanks guys

    -quieter
    -larger bin
    -higher suction power
    -infra-red sensors
    -virtual walls

    Phew! All done!

    For people who have found this confusing and too involved, breaking it down again here:

    Step 1. Buy (@ 15% off) 3x $100 Kogan voucher & 1x $50 Voucher from ebay store (its on the home page) = $297.50
    Step 2. Search 'Kogan $20 off' on ebay, purchase for $7 (bought mine here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/192401298251?ul_noapp=true) = $7
    Step 3. Pay remaining $9 on card.

    $297.50 + $7 + $9 (gift cards + $20 off voucher + remainder) = $313.50

    The credits are applied under my account > gift card, voucher can be applied at the payment screen choose e-voucher and punch in the code you get.

    • doweyy on 20/12/2017 - 11:47

      • inittobinit on 20/12/2017 - 11:51

        No problem! Thanks for posting the deal!

        Im sure some people will see a few other steps to get lower prices like $308.50 or $305.15 but guys as it stands now the only kogan vouchers i could find on ebay were the $20 off ones, no $30, $40 or $50 were available.

        Definitely do a quick ebay search for 50, 40, 30 first then settle for $20 if nothing comes up, $313.50 from a large well known online retailer with good return policy is still massive!
