Is a vacuum cleaner worth buying?

Did you know that your carpets can hold several times its weight in dirt? Think dead skin, insect faeces, dust mites, bacteria and mould spores just sitting, or worse, growing in your carpet. All of which can lead to serious health problems.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates a staggering 100,000 dust mites can be found in just 1 square metre of carpet if there are enough dead skin cells for them to feed on! And that’s what we can’t see! Vacuum cleaners are therefore invaluable for keeping dust, dirt and debris at bay in your home. Not only do they keep your floors in tip-top condition, they also help to purify air quality and reduce the risk of allergy breakouts.

Long gone are the days of bulky, heavy machines with annoying cables and blocked hoses. Vacuums today are stylish and packed full of innovative technology, digital displays and suction capabilities never seen before. So whether it’s a cordless model or one of the latest time-saving robot vacuums, a vacuum cleaner will be an invaluable piece of kit to have in your home.

How to choose the best Samsung vacuum cleaner for you?

6 Things to consider when purchasing a vacuum cleaner

Suction Power

Different vacuum cleaners work better on different floor surfaces. If you have lots of carpet to vacuum, you’ll want to opt for a vacuum cleaner with super suction capabilities such as the Bespoke Jet AI with up to 280W1 of suction power. With strong suction power and great mobility the Bespoke Jet AI is Samsung’s most powerful cordless stick vacuum cleaner yet. With the addition of AI Cleaning mode it optimises performance while automatically adapting to different floor surfaces.

Battery Life

Take the time to think about the amount of space you have to vacuum. If you have a larger living space you’ll need a battery that can last 40+ minutes, whereas for a small apartment 30 minutes run time will be sufficient. The fabulous Bespoke Jet AI even has a battery which can last up to 100 minutes1 on a single charge; giving you more than enough time to clean your entire home from top to bottom. If a quicker spot clean is all you need, you have the flexibility to swap to a lightweight battery. Choose how you clean to suit your daily routine with flexible battery options to suit your lifestyle.

1Run time is based on using the large battery, with a rated capacity of 3970mAh with a non-motorised tool.

Weight and Design

Vacuum cleaners come in all shapes and sizes so taking stock of where you’ll store your vacuum is another important consideration. Think about the storage you have available, as well as how heavy the model is. The Samsung Jet 60 Turbo is at the forefront of lightweight vacuum design; with a handheld body weight of just 1.48Kg you’ll enjoy effortless cleaning at the touch of a button. And when it comes to storing your Samsung cordless vacuum cleaner you can enjoy flexible charging with the 2-in-1 charging station that can be wall mounted or used as a stand alone work top charging station.

Pet hair function

As an animal lover you’ll know that pet hair gets everywhere and can be a nightmare to get out of carpets. If you have pets, you’ll need a vacuum with super-strength suction to make sure your floors are properly cleaned and that pesky hair is picked up. The awesome Bespoke Jet AI, Samsung Bespoke Jet™ Pet, Samsung Jet 90 Pet and Jet 75 Pet are specifically designed to pick up the dust, hair and dander from your floors. The Turbo Action Brush spins at an incredible 3,750 times a minute* to ensure even the tiniest dust particles are picked up. Additionally, Samsung Jet model’s high performance filters trap 99.999%** of dust*** and reduces allergens**** that would normally escape into the air. So you can rest in the knowledge that it’s not only your floors that are getting cleaned, but your home’s air quality too.

How many watts is a good vacuum cleaner?

The higher the wattage the better, right? Well, not necessarily. Wattage is actually only a measurement of how much power (electricity) will be consumed when using your machine. When deciding which vacuum cleaner to choose, you’ll want to explore the amount of suction and airflow the vacuum has. Suction refers to how quickly the air is moved through your vacuum in order to spin the motor faster. Advancements in technology mean that better suction means better performance without necessarily increasing power consumption (wattage).

Samsung's Jet cordless vacuum range boasts industry-leading suction power because of the innovative Digital Inverter Motor, which utilises the same design specs found in a highly engineered aeroplane engine. The Digital Inverter Motor not only boosts the airflow but spins the motor at a speed to rival even the fastest engines. So you can be safe in the knowledge that when you’re whizzing around the living room you’ll get serious suction power. And that’s not all, the astonishing 28 cyclones1 ensure airflow is boosted throughout your vacuum to give you a super hygienic deep clean every time.

1Based on the Bespoke Jet AI model, other models may have fewer cyclones.

Are stick vacuums good for carpets?

Samsung stick vacuums are all about being lightweight and versatile but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t good for capturing those pesky dirt particles that get trapped deep down inside carpets. In fact quite the opposite. With exceptional suction power, multi-layered filtration systems and impressive run times, you’ll experience deep cleaning right in the palm of your hand with the latest Samsung stick vacuum cleaners.

Does vacuuming get rid of germs?

Vacuuming isn’t only about getting rid of what the eyes can see. Your floors harbour bacteria, germs and can be a significant source of allergens. With the Samsung Jet series you can rest assured. The optimal Multi-layered Filtration System is proven to trap 99.999%* of dust** and reduces allergens*** that would normally escape back into the air through the vacuum exhaust. Furthermore, Samsung cordless vacuums are verified and certified by the British Allergy Foundation (BAF), SLG (Schubert Leiter Geratesicherheit) and UL.

What's more, you no longer have to contend with a face full of dust when emptying your vacuum dustbin. Simply place the dustbin on top of the Clean Station for a more convenient and hygienic way of emptying your dustbin. The stubborn dust particles are collected securely in the 2-litre sealed bag inside the device which will notify you when it is due to be replaced. You can also easily remove the vacuum's dustbin and internal rotating drum to give it a thorough wash out, ensuring that any lingering allergen and dust particles have been removed before it's ready for its next run.
