For those who love "satisfyingly gross" cleaning videos, Samsung's new affordable vacuum is the best way to get your fix at home. The Samsung Jet 95S is a mid-range to premium cordless stick vacuum that offers up to 280W of suction power, delivering 33 per cent more 'oomph' than its older sibling, the Jet 95. It comes with a variety of attachments and convenient features such as Smart Boost and Smart Motion Cleaning mode.
One-Minute Review
The Samsung Jet 95S is currently the most powerful mid-range model in Samsung's stick vacuum range. It retails for $799 and can be purchased from Samsung's website and major electronics retailers like JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys. Key features include Smart Boost, which automatically detects carpet-type flooring and increases suction power, and Smart Motion Cleaning mode, which pauses when the appliance is placed on the floor or leaned against a wall and resumes when picked up within a minute.
How Did We Test It?
We sent our robot vacuums on a mini vacation and exclusively used the Samsung Jet 95S for a month on hardwood, tiles, and low-pile rugs, with pet fur and hair being the biggest concerns.
What's in the Box?
The Samsung Jet 95S comes with five cleaner heads: the main Jet Dual Brush+, Slim LED Brush, Pet Tool+ for furry messes, Flexible Tool for hard-to-reach spots, and standard combination and extendible crevice tools. The Jet Standing Station conveniently stores all attachments, making it perfect for small spaces. Included items: Samsung Jet 95S Stick, Jet Standing Station, Jet Dual Brush+, Slim LED Brush, Pet Tool+, Combination and Long Reach Crevice Tool, Flex Tool, and a 60-minute battery.
Runtime
On paper, the Jet 95S offers up to 60 minutes of cordless cleaning. Realistically, runtime is around 45 minutes with most attachments. The Jet Dual Brush+ runs up to 34 minutes, the Slim LED Brush and Pet Tool+ up to 45 minutes on lowest mode and 10 minutes on highest, while combination and crevice tools provide the full 60 minutes.
How Well Does It Clean?
Easy to Use
The Jet 95S is easy to use and fairly lightweight, though some may find it slightly heavy during extended use. It features a display, power button, and two controls for simple adjustment. The telescopic wand has four height options, and the Flex Tool bends up to 90 degrees.
Hardwood and Tiles
Both main brushes are great for picking up dirt under furniture. The Slim LED Brush illuminates dust, and the vacuum precisely sucks debris without blowing it away.
Rugs and Furniture
The Dual Brush+ is excellent for deep cleaning, especially pet hair from area rugs. The default Mid mode is powerful and collects large dust and hair balls. The downside is that main cleaner heads last between 34 and 45 minutes, so large homes may require quick work. However, the lowest setting still offers excellent suction.
Extra Attachments
The Flex Tool bends up to 90 degrees but may not feel as sturdy when digging into tricky areas. It's not the first choice for cleaning.
Is It Easy to Maintain?
Attachments rarely clog, and the dustbin is washable for regular cleaning of crumbs and dropped food.
Is It Worth Buying?
The Samsung Jet 95S is super powerful, often requiring fewer swipes to clean compared to other models. It offers great bang for buck, even with just one main cleaner head.
