Australian marketplace for outsourcing local tasks and home services.
Booked a cleaner through Airtasker who confirmed the time then simply didn't turn up, and didn't answer messages until late afternoon. Rebooking meant starting the whole offer process again. The platform is convenient when it works, but there's not much recourse when a tasker flakes on you.
Tasker no-showed with little recourse
Used Airtasker to find someone to help me move a few heavy items and it worked well. You do get a wide range of prices though, so it pays to read reviews rather than just picking the cheapest. The person I went with was friendly and careful with my furniture.
Posted a task on Airtasker to assemble a wardrobe and three offers came in within the hour. The tasker I chose had brilliant reviews, arrived on time and had everything built and tidied in under two hours. Loved being able to see ratings and agree a price upfront with no surprises.

Needed a thorough bond clean at short notice and Airtasker came through; I had several quotes by the next morning. The team I picked did a meticulous job and I got my full deposit back. Took off one star only because the messaging notifications were a little unreliable on my phone.
Quick quotes, thorough result
Patchy message notifications
Airtasker has been my go-to for the random jobs I never get around to, from hanging shelves to a small garden clean-up. The taskers are generally reliable and the in-app payment is convenient. Only minor gripe is the service fee can add up on smaller tasks.
