The Samsung Jet 90 is a capable cordless vacuum, but its slightly bulky stand and fiddly dust bin hold it a few stops short of the competition.
Samsung may be a brand more familiar with large appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines, but the tech behemoth also offers a small range of floor care appliances too. As well as robot vacuums, Samsung also offers an array of some of the best cordless vacuum cleaners – the latest of which is the Samsung Jet 90. This sleek model comes with a variety of attachments to attack dust on any floor or surface and can be neatly stored away on its stand when not in use. It’s got plenty of suction power, capable of hoovering up cereal bits, hair, sand, and even sucking out dirt that’s hiding away deep in carpets, making it one of the best vacuums cleaners we’ve tested. It’s easy to maneuver into most corners and under furniture, and the range handy attachments ensure it can reach blinds, bookcases, and ceiling corners. The battery lasts up to 45 minutes between charges when used on a combination of the lowest and medium power settings. The battery is swappable too, which means that you can have a second one charging on standby to quickly swap over to, so your cleaning routine isn’t interrupted. Its dust bin isn’t as smooth to remove as on other cordless vacuums we’ve tested, such as the Dyson V15 Detect, and requires a few clicks to disconnect from the main body and empty into a bin. You could, of course, opt for Samsung’s Clean Station which empties it much more effectively, but that’s an added cost that very few users will find truly useful. That said, the Samsung Jet 90 is an easy to use cordless vacuum cleaner that is effective at collecting dust and debris from hard floors and carpets. The Samsung Jet 90 cordless vacuum cleaner, which is known as the Samsung Jet 90 Pet in the UK, is priced at $649 / £549 / AU$999 and is available now from Samsung. Additional batteries will set you back $150 / £149 / AU$249. This is slightly more affordable than Dyson’s latest cordless vacuum, the V15 Detect, which will set you back $699.99 / £599.99 / AU$1,399. The Jet 90 is quite sleek, and has a mostly heavy-duty plastic body all over. It doesn’t have a trigger handle for operation, but a simple on/off button at the top, flanked by two additional buttons to adjust suction power between low, medium, and turbo. Weighing in at around 6.87 lb / 2.8kg, it’s on par with the weight of other similar vacuum cleaners on the market, though it’s still easy to maneuver on the floor and around tight furniture. Simple LEDs illuminate the current suction power, as well as indicating if there’s a problem with the roller head or filter. There’s also another LED that indicates when the optional spinning sweeper attachment is being used, which can be purchased separately for $129.99 / £89 / AU$149. Battery life is indicated by three solid LEDs on the battery itself, which blink while recharging on the base station. The 0.21-gallon / 0.8-liter dust bin sits in parallel with the telescopic pipe, allowing for maximum airflow.
