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

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, that's not quite true - my son knows how and actually does it unprompted from time to time, but it's 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 couldn't 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 didn't hurt my heart was putting a D*son V6 out right next to it. Thing was fine as long as you didn't 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. It's 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 I'd be willing to endure, but I figured out that this was why I'd gotten these refurbs so cheaply. You think they're dead, but they aren't. They've shut themselves down because they need to be cleaned in places it's 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 it's 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 it's easy to get rid of. You aren't prodding your vacuum's 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 - 5'5) that makes it possible to reach under the furniture all the way to the wall. It's 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 don't have (shag) carpets, the ELLGEE is excellent. Best in class.If you have shag carpets/rugs, this Samsung is the best of the three.

I was surprised to see no reviews for the Jet 75 and there is no youtube videos either. Before I made my purchase I relied on the youtube reviews of the Jet 90 which is essentially the same vacuum but with the mop attachment (as far as I gathered.)Just to give you a little background: We have tiles, laminate and area rugs. I come from using mid range corded vacuums and I have never made such an expensive purchase before for a cleaning tool. We have two dogs, one of which sheds - a mini pincher, the other one does not- wheaten terrier. You might say that given the small size of the mini pincher, I shouldn't complain about the hair on the floor and furniture but believe me, I vacuum 2 times a day and there is still hair to be cleaned.I initially purchased a cheaper stick vacuum which did not satisfy my cleaning needs but did show me that you can't beat the convenience of cordless if you vacuum multiple times a day.So here I am, giving you my initial thoughts on this "monster" of a vacuum stick.The Jet 75 is very powerful! You wouldn't believe it! I am beyond impressed with the suction power and ease of use. Here are my pros and cons:Pros:- cordless (obviously)- power - the low setting is fine (about 110-120 AW), mid level is awesome (around 140-150 AW), and the high is insane (around 200 AW.) It actually makes it a bit hard to vacuum a carpet on high cause it sucks so hard and needs a stronger push -some may consider this a con where I don't mind it. No such issues on tile or hardwood floors.- attachments - there are plenty with my favorites- fabric/furniture/bedding brush and the elbow flex attachment.- great range of motion all around.Cons:- it's a bit heavy in the hand- most of the weight is in the battery but that's not something you can part with to use it.- no LED floor light- it really helps to have it and I don't know why Samsung chose not to integrate it to the unit. I just purchased a battery operated closet stick led which I plan to mount on the front. Just ordered it today so not sure how well my plan would work yet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089JYP45L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HywnFbY14M8Z9- mine came with no documentation- very odd as it didn't appear to be a used item. All is available online but I guess I'm used to Samsung's manual books.Overall, this is an amazing stick vacuum! If you are in the market for one, I would highly suggest you add this to your comparing list.Personally, I was torn between the Jet 75 and the LG A9. The mate red LG which is in the same price point as the Jet 75, comes with an additional battery but suction strength is rated at 140 AW. Also, the LG comes with a floor stand should you not want to attach it to a wall or inside a cabinet. I went for the power.But why not a Dyson, you ask? To me Dyson's are overpriced for the mediocre job they are able to achieve. One of my closest friends has a Dyson stick. The vacuum is a joke. I can't even compare it to the Jet 75 because you shouldn't compare apples to lemons . The only suggestion I would give is to look up the suction power and compare. At this time, a 200 AW Dyson costs $1000. It's insane what good marketing can do for a business lolI didn't mean to make this review so long but wanted to share my experience. If you have any questions, please free to ask and if I can, I'll give you an answer.Overall, the Jet 75 is awesome and if you are willing to spend the money, I very highly recommend it.
