Powerful, cordless, and affordable, here’s why Joburg is cleaning smarter this year

Vacuuming is rarely fun, but it shouldn’t be frustrating either. In 2025, South Africans are ditching bulky, outdated cleaners and switching to Xiaomi’s G20 vacuum range for a better, faster, smarter clean.

Built for every kind of home, from compact city flats to double-storey family houses, the Xiaomi G20, G20 Lite, and G20 Max vacuum cleaners offer serious suction, long-lasting battery life, and helpful attachments, all without the high price tag. And yes, they’re available right here on Takealot and Yuppiechef.

The G20: Everyday Power for Everyday Homes

The Xiaomi G20 is the standard model, but there’s nothing “standard” about what it does.
With 150 AW of suction power, a brushless motor, and five-stage filtration, this cordless cleaner is designed to tackle pet hair, allergens, dust, and grime.

Its key features include:

A 12-cone cyclone system that maintains airflow and keeps suction strong.
A 600 ml dustbin that doesn’t need constant emptying.
A built-in LED searchlight to see what you’re cleaning, even in dark corners.

You also get three interchangeable brush heads for wood, tile, carpets, couches, and curtains. Whether you’re tidying a lounge in Linden or deep-cleaning a room in Randburg, the G20 gets the job done without breaking your back.

G20 Lite: Small, Smart, and Surprisingly Strong

Got a small apartment, bachelor flat, or student room? The G20 Lite is made for you.

It’s feather-light, easy to manoeuvre, and still packs a punch with 120 AW suction, the same five-stage filtration system, and a one-touch dustbin release for effortless cleaning.

Add in:

A compact electric brush bar for all floor types
An extension rod to reach high-up places
A long-lasting battery that keeps going when you need it most

It’s perfect for small spaces where air quality and storage matter, and it won’t take up half your cupboard.

G20 Max: Big Cleaning for Big Homes

Live in a larger home or deal with lots of mess? Step up to the G20 Max, Xiaomi’s most powerful vacuum in the lineup.

Here’s what makes it a beast:

180 AW suction power
Up to 60 minutes of runtime
A wall-mounted charging station
Three suction modes to balance power and battery use

It comes with the most attachments, too, including a pet brush that grooms and de-sheds dogs, a mini electric brush for mattresses and upholstery, and an extension hose for awkward spaces. If your Labrador sheds like it’s his job, the G20 Max will be your new best friend.

Why Joburgers Are Loving It

Social media is already buzzing. Users have praised the vacuum’s performance in load-shedding conditions, tight Joburg apartments, and homes with kids and pets. TikTokers are calling it “the best cordless vacuum for the price” and noting how it “saves time and back pain”.

The fact that Xiaomi is offering all this at accessible South African prices makes the G20 range even more appealing in a country where quality appliances are often priced out of reach.

Where to Buy

All three Xiaomi G20 vacuums, the Lite, Standard, and Max, are available in South Africa through:

Takealot
Yuppiechef

They’re cordless, compact, easy to store, and loaded with smart features that make cleaning feel a little less like a chore.

If you’re ready to clean smarter, not harder, and want serious value without compromising on performance, Xiaomi’s G20 vacuum cleaners are the best place to start in 2025.
