SAMSUNG Jet 75 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight w/ Turbo Brush, Mini Motorized Tool, Removable Battery, Powerful Cleaning for Hardwood Floors, Carpets, Area Rugs, VS20T7512N7/AA, Silver

This replaced a comparable cordless Dyson stick vacuum that I have used for more than 15 years. This Samsung is similar in design, weight, and power but it costs less than comparable Dyson models, has a longer battery life, a wider power head, and a larger dust bin. Also, the dust bin is easier to empty then the old vacuum: remove from the main vacuum unit by a push button, lift the internal filters out, and turn upside down to empty. The filters can be cleaned by washing or brushing when removed from the bin. This Samsung has been quite satisfactory for light vacuuming. It is quiet and relatively easy to maneuver around. It is turned on and off by a push button. There are lights to indicate the vacuuming power (Min, Mid, Max) along with – and + buttons to select the power level. Hold down the + button for a few seconds while at the Max level and the vacuum switches to a super “Jet” level. There is also a light to indicate a clog, the roller/beater has stopped spinning, or that the filter is installed incorrectly or missing. The design incorporates a “notch” along the bottom of the vacuum that catches on the edge of a flat surface and this keeps the vacuum from sliding down when I prop it against the edge of a table or the island in our kitchen. I have found this feature to be especially useful. There are no LED “headlights” on the main powered head, but I can’t say I would use that feature since I do not vacuum in the dark and I would want to use the battery power to extend the vacuuming time instead of powering headlights. The battery is removable and can be charged separately in the charger or while attached to the vacuum when it is hung on the wall-mounted charger. The battery has three lights on the right and left sides that indicate the charge remaining or the progress of charging (see picture). The stated maximum run time is about 1 hour at the Min power level using a non-powered head (i.e. the crevice tool) and 18 minutes at the Mid power level using the main powered turbo head. I still had one light of charge left after vacuuming for about 15 minutes mostly at the Mid power level with the turbo brush head and occasional use of the Min, Max and Jet levels. The Min level worked well for our low nap door mats and dog beds and the Max and Jet for heavily soiled carpet. This model came with a powered turbo brush head, a mini motorized brush head, and a crevice tool that can be extended in length. What is missing is an optional non-powered head with brush bristles that I found useful with my old stick vacuum. The two powered heads or the crevice tool can be attached to the vacuum without having to use the long “pipe”. The mini motorized brush is useful for vacuuming stairs and upholstery, but the powered roller/beater is not as effective as it could be because two plastic bars across the bottom keep it from coming into contact with most surfaces (see picture). The roller/beater of both powered tools run all the time and cannot be turned off, and both can be removed for cleaning. Other than not including a non-powered head with brush bristles, my only criticism is that the mini motorized tool does not fit on the tool attachment points of the charger/wall hanger. There are two attachment points and the crevice tool fits one but neither of the powered heads or the “pipe” will fit the other. I assume the second attachment point is for the optional head with the brush bristles. I attached the charger to a wall, hung the vacuum and attached the crevice tool, but the mini tool had to be placed on a shelf or left on the floor. So, I screwed a two prong hanger into the wall so that I could hang the min tool next to the wall mounted charger (see picture). It would have been nice if Samsung had designed the hanger/charger so that all tools could be attached and stored together.

I really like this vacuum, but the battery is definitely defective and it appears the only solution is to return the entire unit verse just the battery for replacement. This is really disappointing and if that is the route I have to take I will just try a different brand rather than rolling the dice again. I work with lithium batteries every day in cordless tools. I know a defective one when I use one. Should be able to simply get a replacement battery....

This vaccuum is lightweight, easy to maneuver and picks up well. It is a little tricky to remove and replace the waste bin.

Not what I expected for a $300 vacuum cleaner. it seems to perform the same as the $30 vacuum we had before. I wish that it maneuvered a little bit better. I feel like I have to vacuum on max suction setting always to feel like anything gets clean. However, the dustbin does fill up so it is picking up stuff. The button on the dustbin broke about a month into use and I called in the warranty, and Samsung is shipping me a replacement dustbin. Also, our last cordless vacuum cleaner had lights on it and I really miss that feature. I can vacuum my entire house which is 2000 ft.² on a single charge. Also, if you have rugs from the brand rugable, the washable rugs. You cannot use this vacuum cleaner on them even on the lowest suction, it won’t work. It acts like it’s jammed, and the brush stop spinning. And lastly, it took some getting used to to be able to remove the dust bin and empty it and put it back. It’s very difficult to handle and I don’t believe it clicks into place or makes any sound when you’ve put it back together properly.

Lightweight, holds a charge to vacuum my entire house. Struggle with emptying the cylinder of lint. Need 2 hands to take off and exact position to put back on. I like the ability of easy cleaning the filter.

Our floors have never been so clean because this thing is so light weight and easy to use that my 4 year old is obsessed with vacuuming, so our floors get done several times a day. Great suction for a cordless. We have a cat and Labrador, so shedding happens regularly and this does a great job of picking up the hair on my short pile area rugs, tile, and hardwood. The battery life lasts about 30-40 minutes on max power setting. I don’t know that I would completely replace my traditional Dyson with it, because, while suction is awesome for a cordless, it doesn’t do the same quality job on carpet as my traditional upright. But, we love this for what it is and it serves as a perfect secondary vacuum for lighter daily cleaning, cleaning up after my kids eat, and vacuuming stairs/furniture.

I have lupus with mobility issues. My husband and son have no clue how to (as my grandmother used to say) run the sweeper. (Actually, thats not quite true - my son knows how and actually does it unprompted from time to time, but its mostly up to me). If you are pressed for time, this Samsung is what you want for shag carpets/fluffy rugs/anything with a lot of nap. The ELLGEE cordless vacs are amazing, but shag is their kryptonite. Skip the big brand. If you get one free, take it, but otherwise, thumbs down. Anyhow, my love of the right tool for the right job is no secret, and vacuums are no exception. I have gone through several kinds/brands since I started having trouble pushing things around - sometimes because they were unsuited to their intended purpose for anyone (gross bagless ones that required me to stick my hand into the yucko in order to clean the basket), sometimes because they couldnt handle my hair, let alone my cats hair, sometimes because they died after one use, and sometimes because even though I had loved them and they were solid reliable working class heroes this old bag of crunchy bones could no longer stand the pain. Putting my last upright on the sidewalk with a Free - Works GREAT sticky hurt my heart. What didnt hurt my heart was putting a D*son V6 out right next to it. Thing was fine as long as you didnt need it to pick up anything heavier or bigger than floor cheerios. Pellet cat litter was a nope for that one. I kept the V7 and still have it. But I use it only in the back hall where the catbox lives and use it to clean cat hair off the bathroom floor because it has all the nicest attachments for tight places. Its useless on carpets and scatters pretty much everything you can think of on hard floors. I put it together from a refurb deal on the head and various parts on various sites. The big brand killer was an EllGee that is phenomenal on hard floors but a bit overzealous on carpet. By overzealous, I mean it tries to pull the rug up off the floor, chokes itself out, then dies from lack of oxygen. Cleaning carpet nap out of the intake port is a pain I never thought Id be willing to endure, but I figured out that this was why Id gotten these refurbs so cheaply. You think theyre dead, but they arent. Theyve shut themselves down because they need to be cleaned in places its up to you to figure out how to access. NGL, the ELLGEEs are monsters. But the pain/clean ratio, while better than the big name brand, is still a tough one, especially at their price point. Which brings us to the Samsung. Right up front: you may not like how you empty it. You take the catch bin off and dump it. If you want to, you can also take off the mesh filter. I like this. I dump it, wipe it down, and its like having a new vacuum every time I use it. Beyond that, it gets all of the dirt out of my carpet without blocking its own intake - the dirt goes and stays where its easy to get rid of. You arent prodding your vacuums unknown places with a chopstick trying to get it to breathe so it can start. In this way, it is more like the D*son, which only rarely blocks itself. However, the Samsung is lighter than both. It has a long wand (the ELLGEE is adjustable, and the D*son is kind of a backbreaker at my height - 55) that makes it possible to reach under the furniture all the way to the wall. Its also less expensive new than either of my other cordless vacuums was refurbished. If the idea of taking your vacuum apart to dump it bothers you and you dont have (shag) carpets, the ELLGEE is excellent. Best in class. If you have shag carpets/rugs, this Samsung is the best of the three.

Worst battery I ever used

good

For a cordless vacuum it works great! Very handy for a quick in between cleaning. Hair does not get wrapped around the roller brush either!
