Samsung Jet 75 Vacuum Review

This vacuum feels well-built. It shares quite a bit with the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, with a mainly plastic construction that looks fairly premium and feels rather sturdy. There's some looseness to the attachment point between the body and hose, but it isn't too noticeable. While the Clean Station is of a different design to the combination charging rack included with the pricier Samsung Bespoke Jet, it feels similarly robust.

Assembling the vacuum is easy and intuitive. The charging station is easy to put together, though you do need to screw its charging rack into a wall.

This vacuum is pretty easy to maintain. While quite a few parts need to be removed and serviced regularly, they're all fairly easy to access.

• Dirt Compartment: The dirt compartment can be easily removed by pressing the release button on top of it. After removing the micro filter and cyclone filter assembly, you can shake it out over a garbage can. If you purchase this vacuum with the Cleaning Station, maintenance is even easier, requiring only that you seat the vacuum in its slot and press the start button to have any accumulated debris sucked out, as seen here.
• Cyclone: Twist the cyclone filter counter-clockwise against the dustbin to separate the two. It can also be washed with water whenever you notice a significant buildup of debris.
• Micro Filter: The micro filter is located above the cyclone filter and can be pulled free by its grab handle. You should tap it gently to dislodge any stuck-on debris regularly and wash it with cold water once a month. Make sure not to use any detergent or hot water to clean it.
• HEPA Filter: Twist to unlock and remove it from the main body of the vacuum, where it sits above the dirt compartment. You can remove any dust and debris from this filter as needed. You shouldn't wash it with water.
• Turbo Action Floorhead: To pull out the brushroll, you'll need to push the button on top of the head to unlock the cover. While it collects quite a bit of debris, it's very easy to cut away any tangled hair with a pair of scissors or by hand. Make sure to clean the brushroll bearings.
• Clean Station: You can access the base station's HEPA filter and pre-motor filters easily, and they aren't especially difficult to clean, requiring only that you tap them against the side of a garbage can to dislodge any stuck-on debris. The internal dust bag also has a self-sealing collar, so you don't need to worry about a plume of dust being kicked up when taking it out.

Any part that you wash with water should be allowed to dry thoroughly, out of direct sunlight, before being put back in the vacuum. There's an LED light on the handle to indicate when there's a clog, brushroll obstruction, missing filter, or when the vacuum isn't assembled properly.

When bundled with the Clean Station, the Samsung Jet 75 incurs high recurring costs.

• HEPA Filter: No replacement interval is given for the HEPA filter. However, even if you clean the filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations, it's recommended that you swap in a new one if you notice a decrease in vacuum performance. You can buy a replacement unit here.
• Cleaning Station Filters: No replacement interval is given for either the Cleaning station's HEPA filter or its pre-motor filter. You can buy a replacement HEPA filter for the base station here.
• Cleaning Station Dirtbags: You should buy a new dirtbag for the cleaning station once it's filled. You can buy replacement dirtbags in packs of five here.

This vacuum is impressively compact. Its low-profile wall-mount charging station has storage slots for two of its included tools. However, since its wand isn't telescopic, you can't set it to a lower height to have it take up less vertical space. Unlike the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, there's no secondary battery charging rack, so you can only charge one of the two batteries at once.

Note: The Clean Station's dimensions are as follows:

• Height: 23.42" (59.5 cm)
• Width: 7.09" (18.0 cm)
• Depth: 7.48" (19.0 cm)

The Samsung Jet 70 has a decently-sized dirt compartment. It holds a little less debris than the manufacturer advertises, but it's still larger than that of other cordless stick vacuums like the Dyson V8. It's made of see-through plastic and has a max fill line so you can see when it's full.

The dirtbag inside the Clean Station has a capacity of 2.5L, which is similar to that of full-size canister vacuums like the Miele Complete C3 Alize.

This is a cordless vacuum, so its range is limited only by the remaining battery life and the room left in its dustbin.

The Samsung Jet 75 is impressively portable. At under six pounds, it's considerably lighter than other cordless stick vacuums like the Dyson V11, making it very easy to use for extended cleaning sessions.

The Samsung Jet 75 has great battery performance. It comes with two batteries, but unlike the Samsung Bespoke Jet, which comes with a secondary battery charging cradle, you can only charge one pack at a time. It means you'll need to wait for one battery to recharge while using the other. A single battery can provide about an hour of runtime in the vacuum's least powerful 'MIN' suction mode, which gives you ample time for spot-cleaning lightweight debris when using the vacuum in its handheld configuration. You'll need to work faster when cleaning more stubborn messes, as using the vacuum in its high-power 'Jet' mode cuts its runtime on a single battery to a little under 10 minutes. Average single-battery runtime will fall somewhere between these two extremes, with the vacuum being able to run for about 20 minutes in its stick configuration in its default 'MID' mode.

This vacuum has a few quality-of-life features. You can swap between four different power modes using the power adjustment buttons above the handle: the energy-efficient 'MIN' mode, the default 'MID' mode, the higher-power 'MAX' mode, and 'JET' mode, which is intended for cleaning very stubborn debris. Unlike the Dyson V12 Detect Slim, there's no surface detection system to allow it to automatically adjust its suction power on different floor types. Unlike the Shark Cordless Pro, its floorhead also lacks a headlight to help you see in darker corners.

This Complete variant of the Samsung Jet 75 only comes with a combination soft bristle brush/upholstery nozzle and an extendable crevice tool to help you reach hard-to-reach corners. That said, it's fully compatible with attachments found on other Samsung vacuums, like the flexible extender and the Motorized miniature turbo brush pet tool.

This vacuum can be used in a handheld configuration by detaching its wand and floorhead.

This vacuum delivers passable performance on bare floors. The multi-surface floorhead drags around larger pieces of debris instead of passing over them so the vacuum can suck them up. You'll probably also have to go over the same spot a couple of extra times to deal with large quantities of fine debris like sand as well.

Performance on high-pile carpets is bad. If you're cleaning a larger mess, it's likely to leave a small amount of bulky debris behind after a single pass. The bigger issue is that its multi-surface roller does very little to dig into deeper carpet fibers and lift away any fine debris that might be embedded within it.

This vacuum delivers okay performance on low-pile carpets. It does a good job of dealing with large and medium-sized debris like cereal and rice but leaves a little bit behind along walls and in corners. It thankfully does a much better job of clearing away finer debris like sand on this surface type compared to high-pile carpets.

This vacuum does a great job of clearing away pet hair on low-pile carpets. It'll clear away the majority of hair within a single pass, but you'll probably need to go over the same area twice if you want to fully clear away any shorter remaining strands that are pressed a little more deeply into carpet fibers.

The Samsung Jet 75 has good suction power on its floorhead. It uses the same 200W motor as the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, which is quite powerful for a vacuum of this type and generates enough power to draw out debris embedded in carpets or shallower crevices.

This vacuum's airflow performance is satisfactory. As previously stated, it uses the same 200-airwatt suction motor as the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, so it should be no surprise that its ability to generate air movement is all but identical. As far as cordless stick vacuums are concerned, it's a good but not class-leading performer, with a filtration system that isn't overly restrictive. It shouldn't have any trouble lifting away medium to heavy-weight debris.

The Samsung Jet 75 isn't especially noisy. In its low-power 'MIN' mode, it still makes enough noise to drown out most conversations, but it won't disturb people in other rooms too much. However, it's considerably louder in its higher-power 'MAX' and 'JET' modes, so you should avoid using either setting for too long if you don't want to disturb people nearby.

Note: The Clean Station also makes quite a bit of noise when you use it to suck debris from its dustbin, as seen here.

The Samsung Jet 75 has good maneuverability. It's pretty lightweight and has a smoothly-pivoting floorhead, making it pretty easier to maneuver in tight spots or to lift over obstructions. That said, the top-mounted dirt compartment requires you to twist the vacuum sideways to clean under most tables and chairs. It's easy to reconfigure into a handheld vacuum to clean on top of furniture. Unfortunately, the Turbo Action floorhead is somewhat tangle-prone, as the vacuum can get caught on rug tassels and shag-pile carpeting.

This vacuum does a decent job of handling pet hair on upholstered furniture. The upholstery nozzle on the combination tool is pretty effective in handling longer strands of hair, but it tends to leave shorter strands behind. Its narrow suction inlet also makes it impractical for cleaning large areas. If you plan on cleaning pet hair from furniture regularly, you should consider purchasing a miniature turbo brush attachment.

The Samsung Jet 75 is effective at sealing in fine particles. Like all other Samsung Jet stick vacuums, it has a five-stage filtration system that the manufacturer advertises as being able to seal in 99.999% of microdust particles.

The Samsung Jet 75 does a decent job of handling debris in cracks and crevices. This variant of the vacuum doesn't come with a soft roller, which helps generate a tight seal with hard surfaces to clear out debris in deeper cracks. Still, its powerful suction motor makes it pretty effective when clearing out debris in longer, shallower crevices, like grout lines on tile floors.

Note: Since the 'Spray Spinning Sweeper' attachment isn't available as part of a bundle with the Samsung Jet 75 and needs to be purchased separately, the vacuum's score for this section remains based on its stain-clearing performance with the standard floorhead.

The Samsung Jet 75 does a terrible job dealing with stains when used with its Turbo Action Brush floorhead. However, it's fully compatible with Samsung's 'Spray Spinning Sweeper' floorhead, which uses a water spray to saturate dried-on stains and a pair of rotating mop pads to clear them away. You can see a video of the vacuum clearing away stains with the 'Spray Spinning Sweeper' attachment with disposable wet pads here, and a picture of the contact surface after being cleaned here.

Note: Since the 'Spray Spinning Sweeper' attachment isn't available as part of a bundle with the Samsung Jet 75 and needs to be purchased separately, the vacuum's score for this section remains based on its water-clearing performance with the standard floorhead.

This vacuum isn't rated to suck up water. However, it is compatible with the 'Spray Spinning Sweeper' floorhead, which uses rotating mop pads to clear away water when used with dry microfiber mopping pads. You can see a video of the vacuum clearing away water with this attachment with dry microfiber pads here. The dry microfiber cloths are effective in picking up small spills, but more than half a cup of liquid will likely saturate the pads and prevent them from absorbing any more liquid.
