Finder has revealed the most popular brands on the market as voted by shoppers – including home appliances, white goods, electronics, health and beauty.
Australians were asked to rate the everyday products based on value, quality, safety and whether they’d recommend the brand to others.
The Finder Retail Awards highlighted 69 categories after sifting through more than 34,000 reviews from 4,000 customers on purchases made in the past 24 months.
And it seems shoppers can’t get enough of Dyson stick vacuum cleaners, Aldi’s slow cookers, Tefal air fryers, Apple laptops and computers and ghd hair straighteners.
When it comes to laptops and computers, shoppers loved Apple range, according to Finder
ghd has been voted as the best hair straightener brand on the market, while Oral-B topped the list for the best rated electric toothbrush brand
From small kitchen appliances to big-ticket electronics, these are the brands that have come out on top to become the most loved products.
Samsung took out the television, microwave and top-mounted fridge categories, while Fisher & Paykel was favoured for its dryer and top-loading washing machine.
Other popular brands to make the list multiple times included Breville, Philips, and KitchenAid.
While many big brands such as Apple, Dyson and DeLonghi took out the lead in its categories, discount retailer Aldi has been awarded for selling the best slow cooker on the market, with prices ranging from $69.99.
