For those with a larger budget, it’s a good thing that the premium segment is expanding. Recent product introductions from companies like Samsung and Philips are fiercely challenging Dyson, which has long been one of the leading names in the cordless vacuum cleaner market worldwide. Samsung has just unveiled its Jet line of high-end cordless vacuums. The product in focus here is the Samsung Jet 90 cleaner.
Design
Samsung chose a more refined and subdued approach to the design of the Jet 90 vacuum cleaner in contrast to its rivals, which frequently have a bit of a huge, colourful, and indiscreet appearance. The Jet 90 uses a cyclone-based suction technology, with nine cyclones producing the suction strength for the vacuum function. It is only available in one silver colour option. It’s interesting that its entire cyclone mechanism and air filter are housed inside the 0.8L dustbin and can be taken out and cleaned with water. The suction input is below the dustbin, and the motor’s air vents are just behind the dustbin fixture.
The Samsung Jet 90’s handle is at the back, but because the vacuum cleaner’s weight is distributed away from the handle, it feels a little heavy in hand, especially while cleaning top surfaces. With the pipe and floor cleaning heads attached, it becomes a little bit easier to hold because the head sits on the ground and disperses some of the weight, but it still feels a little awkward and uncomfortable to hold over long cleaning sessions.
Controls
The Samsung Jet 90’s controls are located at the top of the handle. This features a power button, two buttons to vary the suction power, a small set of glowing indicators to show the active power mode, as well as various indications such as roller head obstructions or when the air filter needs to be changed. There are three power modes and a fourth “wet” mode, which calls for a wet-mopping fitting.
How To Clean It?
The Samsung Jet 90’s dustbin requires full removal from the vacuum cleaner and unlocking in order to even empty it, making cleaning it a little more difficult than with comparable competitors. Given the effort required, this normally takes a little longer than necessary, so you can wait until the trash can is almost full before emptying it. The vacuum cleaner’s dustbin and cyclone-generating mechanism, both of which may be cleansed with water as necessary, can now be cleaned more thoroughly.
Fittings & Accessories
The Samsung Jet 90 goes above and above by including the remarkable ‘Z Station’ charging stand, whereas others just provide standard charging adapters and plugs or wall-mounted docks. This intricate device is intended to make charging and storing the Jet 90 vacuum cleaner and its accessories very simple.
This vacuum cleaner comes with a variety of cleaning tools, including a combination and crevice tool, a flexible tool, a turbo action brush for tough stains on floors, a soft action brush for routine floor cleaning, a mini motorised tool for top surfaces, and a flexible tool to angle the fittings to reach hard-to-reach areas. The power for the spinning brushes in the first three fixtures, which are motorised, comes from the vacuum. Additionally, it is straightforward to open the turbo and soft action brushes for cleaning. Additionally, there is a telescoping extension pipe with four different length points that range from 930 to 1,140 mm. This makes it easier to access heights, select a suitable length for floor cleaning, and store the equipment conveniently when not in use. When the Jet 90 is docked on the Z Station, the shortest length almost reaches the floor, making it safe to keep the pipe and one of the fittings attached even while charging.
Performance
With regard to suction power, the Samsung Jet 90 vacuum cleaner is very similar to its Dyson rival. The gadget is one of the most powerful vacuum cleaners in its category, with a 200W peak suction power and a nine-cyclone system for creating suction. This did show in regular use. Of course, suction power alone isn’t enough; for a thorough cleaning, the right cleaning heads must be used to efficiently remove dirt and dust from varied surfaces. The soft action brush with the fluffy roller was sufficient for hard floors in the majority of circumstances, while the turbo action brush worked better, especially over carpets and when it was really messy.
Battery Life
The battery slot is located at the bottom. It clips into place and is just as simple to release owing to a quick-release button. It comes with just one battery, but you can add another one if you want it to have a longer runtime. It’s helpful that the charging station can simultaneously charge a second battery, and switching batteries is simple and quick.
It has a decent battery life, but it falls short of those of competitors with comparable prices, including the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. When utilising a motorised cleaning head, it can be used for about 25 minutes on a single charge when using the ‘Mid’ power option and for about eight minutes when using the ‘Max’ setting. The device’s claimed runtime in “Min” power mode is up to 60 minutes. This will be sufficient to comfortably clean two or three rooms with occasional use of the “Max” power mode. The vacuum cleaner needed about three hours to charge completely from zero.
Is It Worth It?
The Samsung Jet 90 Retails for $610 across all the online and offline stores of Samsung and major e-commerce websites. Although there are many inexpensive vacuum cleaners available, buying a high-end cordless vacuum cleaner has many advantages. The Samsung Jet 90 gives the kind of premium experience you would anticipate from a high-end vacuum cleaner, despite being pricey in comparison to other vacuums.
Even though it has a few minor setbacks, such as mediocre battery life, a tricky trash cleaning procedure, and an awkward grip location, the Samsung Jet 90 has a nice appearance and provides straightforward cleaning. It mainly provides a pleasant cleaning experience because of its strong suction, solid-supplied fittings, and distinctive and practical Z Station charging dock. It is absolutely worth the price you’re paying for a fuss-free clean home.
