It’s turning out to be a year of new products from Samsung in India. After introducing its popular laptop portfolio in India a few weeks ago, the South Korean company has entered a new segment, something it is known for in international markets — stick vacuum cleaners. These are devices that are in the same category as Dyson and not the simple vacuum options a couple of Chinese smartphone manufacturers have introduced in the recent past.
The foray into the vacuum cleaner space comes with a range that can generate up to 200W of suction power. What makes it special is the design and suction power as the range comes with a Jet Cyclone system which features nine cyclones with 27 air inlets to trap fine dust particles. You can choose from three options — Jet 70, Jet 75 and Jet 90 and the last mentioned has been a big hit internationally. An important factor while choosing vacuum sticks is weight. The handheld body weighs 1.48kg for Jet 70, 1.66kg for Jet 75 and 1.89 kg for Jet 90.
An interesting feature is Samsung Jet’s washable dustbin and one-click detachable brush drum. The dustbin can be removed easily, so users can simply tip out the dust and wash all the separate parts for a thorough clean. The internal rotating drum located on the head of the vacuum cleaner is also detachable with just a click, which means it can be washed separately as well.
Equally important is battery power. With Jet 90, consumers get a standing charger ‘Z Station’ that can charge up to two batteries at once in just 3.5 hours, and the Jet 90 runs for up to one hour, which should be enough to clean an apartment.
“Equipped with cutting-edge technology such as a Multi-layered Filtration System, the vacuum cleaners trap 99.999 per cent of fine dust and allergens and provide powerful and hygienic cleaning,” said Mohandeep Singh, senior vice-president, consumer electronics business, Samsung India.
Available on Samsung’s official store and Flipkart, the range is priced between Rs 36,990 and Rs 52,990. Till May 9, there will be no-cost EMIs.
