Can\u2019t afford those gorgeous yet expensive cleaning devices? Well, neither can we. From steamers to sleek vacuum cleaners, here\u2019s our roundup of some of the best budget-friendly cleaning appliances on Taobao!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To the uninitiated, the world of cleaning is both scary and exciting \u2013 and with good reason! While there are some cult favourites in the cleaning appliances market, it simply doesn\u2019t justify spending that<\/em> much on a single product (looking at you, Dyson)<\/em>. So in true Singaporean fashion, we\u2019re here to share some sweet alternatives you can find on Taobao for a fraction of the price. Why? Because good deals always must share! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re a newlywed looking for a good deal (or 4), or a work-from-home warrior raring to get your workspace spruced up, read on to find out all you need to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we\u2019re on the topic of adulting, why not check out our guide on where to score some of the coolest, value-for-money kitchen appliances<\/a> on the Internet? (Hint: It\u2019s Taobao.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Get yourself a robot that can \ud83e\uddf9clean \ud83e\uddf9 <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From the classic Roomba to the more recent Roborock, the robot vacuum cleaner is no stranger to those who adult regularly. Popularised for its futuristic appeal and also for the sheer convenience of not having to actually do the dirty work, robot cleaners typically come with a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all is lost, though! We scoured Taobao and found one for just \u00a5139 (~S$28.60). It even comes in a gorgeous shade of dark green in case you\u2019re all about the aesthetic. Quite a steal, huh? To put things into perspective, that\u2019s the price of a replacement battery<\/em> for a Roomba. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Steam Cleaner: Get acquainted with the world of steam cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all seen the witchcraft behind steam irons, but have you seen the wonders a steam cleaner<\/em> can do? At just \u00a5339 (~S$82.10), this 5-in-1 steam cleaner is the stuff of dreams. Need to reach the crevices of your kitchen counter? Go for the rounded brush head. Need to clean the stubborn tile stains in your bathroom? We suggest using the microfibre mop head. Using nothing but water vapour, it can remove stubborn stains, banish germs, and keep your furniture in tip-top condition because no cleaning agents are needed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And unlike the bulkier, more expensive alternatives out there in the market, the Deerma 5-in-1 steam cleaner is sleek and relatively compact, making it easy to store away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Air Purifier: Give your home a breath of fresh air (literally).<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You might think that working from home means lesser exposure to pollutants in the air, but that\u2019s where you\u2019re wrong. Seemingly innocuous situations like your fur kid\u2019s shedding season, the non-stop traffic from the highway below your block, or even laundry day can cause an increase in indoor pollutants! This can trigger respiratory problems, particularly for people living with asthma, and cause general discomfort for anyone, tbh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s definitely worth getting yourself an air purifier, just so that you can keep things fresh and your air\u2026. well, pure. This one from Taobao comes with an inbuilt UV lamp which is said to kill bacteria lingering in the air, as well as other cool tech features like a timer, and a digital screen that tells you just how clean (or polluted) your air is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price<\/strong>: From \u00a5119 (~S$24.50)

4. Vacuum Cleaner: To remind you that while this cleaner sucks, cleaning doesn\u2019t have to suck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You didn\u2019t think we were going to end off this article without a vacuum cleaner feature, did you? Vacuuming is probably one of the most dreaded and time-consuming household chores, so we figured if we could find a gorgeous-looking cleaning appliance, it might make the task less painful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were wondering why it has Muji vibes, that\u2019s because it was designed by Naoto Fukasawa, one of the famed designers at Muji. Created in collaboration with Japanese lifestyle brand Plus Minus Zero, this series comes in 7 different colour accents reminiscent of the Muji-Scandinavian design philosophy we know and love. With prices starting from \u00a51499 (~$307.70), we know it\u2019s on the pricey side. But if we\u2019re putting things into perspective, it\u2019s much cheaper than a Dyson vacuum cleaner, and we dare say a lot better looking too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: If you\u2019re gunning for the minimalist aesthetic, don\u2019t forget to check out our guide on where to get expensive-looking, Muji-style furniture<\/a> \u2014 without the expensive price tag! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
