Find answers to all your questions about Samsung Stick Vacuum Cleaners here.

  • Q. What is a good suction power for a vacuum cleaner?

    For an upright cordless vacuum, aim for at least 100W of suction power to effectively clean various floor types. However, suction strength depends on more than wattage alone. Factors such as airflow design, motor quality, and filter condition also play crucial roles. Innovative components help maintain strong suction over time, ensuring consistent cleaning performance.

  • When buying a vacuum cleaner, consider the following:

    • • Type: Decide between cordless, corded, stick, or robot models, considering your storage space and charging options.
    • • Run time: Ensure the battery lasts long enough to clean your entire space.
    • • Suction power: Choose power based on how heavy your cleaning needs
    • • Weight: Lighter models are easier to handle and store.

  • Stick vacuum cleaners offer suction power ranging from about 150W to 400W, which is enough to pick up dirt, dust, and debris on hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpets. Many models also have adjustable suction settings to match different floor types and mess levels. While not as powerful as large upright vacuums, stick vacuums work well for everyday cleaning and pet hair removal, especially with the right attachments.

  • Yes. Stick vacuums handle hardwood, tile, laminate, and low-pile carpets well. Some models, like Bespoke AI Jet, adjust suction for each floor type to ensure consistent results without damage.

  • Many stick vacuums come with motorized pet brushes or attachments to pull hair from floors and furniture, keeping homes fur-free even with multiple pets.

    Note: Effectiveness varies by model, so check product details if pet hair is a priority. Requires separate purchases.

  • Battery life varies with usage, but most cordless stick vacuums run 1 to 100 minutes1 on a full charge with one battery, depending on the suction setting. Some models come with two batteries, doubling your cleaning time. You can also purchase extra batteries for longer cleaning sessions at Samsung.com.

    Note: Effectiveness varies by model, so check product details on Samsung.com.

  • Yes, stick vacuum cleaners are easy to store thanks to their compact, lightweight design. They fit well in closets, under furniture, or on wall mounts, making them ideal for small homes or anyone who needs quick, unobtrusive storage.

  • Yes, stick vacuum cleaners are easy to carry and maneuver on stairs. Their slim, lightweight design and cordless capability make them ideal for cleaning tight spaces and vertical surfaces like stairs.

  • Most models do! Common attachments include crevice tools for tight spaces, dusting brushes for delicate surfaces and brushes for deep cleaning carpets. These accessories make your cleaning routine more efficient and versatile. Some accessories may require separate purchases.

  • Yes. Stick vacuums produce less noise than traditional models, making them ideal for quiet spaces, early mornings, or late nights without disturbing others.

    • • Make sure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted.
    • • Confirm the vacuum is switched on.
    • • Check that the washable micro filter is in place and clean.

  • To maintain your stick vacuum cleaner, regularly empty the dustbin and clean the filters to prevent odors and ensure optimal performance. Keep in mind that new products may have a slight odor for the first 3 months after purchase, which is normal. Prolonged use without cleaning can lead to dirt buildup in the dustbin or dust on the filters, potentially causing unpleasant smells. Replacement filters are available at your local Samsung service center for when they need to be changed.

  • Materials used in mats, such as childcare center mats or noise prevention mats between floors, can generate static electricity. To resolve this, move the vacuum cleaner’s brush on a normal floor for a short period and then clean the mat again. This should eliminate the static electricity and allow the vacuum to function properly.
