Samsung – Jet™ 70 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with Lightweight Design – Airborne with Violet Filter
$399.99
KansasMeddlingMom –
I am really enjoying using my Samsung – Jet™ 70 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with Turbo Action Brush in Violet. This is a very lightweight, cordless vacuum that has fabulous suction power that appears cyclonic as the dirt is captured in the dustbin. The accessories that came with this unit are the pipe, the combination tool, the extension crevice tool, the battery and its wall mount with 2 screws and 2 anchors, the battery charger, a real user manual, the mini motorized tool, and the turbo action brush.
So, this comes with 1 battery that is clicked into the top handset and runs for about 40 minutes. The on/off button is right on the front of the handle and there are + and – signs on that button that either add or reduce motor power from mild to max. Obviously if the vacuum is run at the max for more minutes, the less minutes the battery will last. As you can see, the charging unit can be fixed to the wall with a screw, or it can be what they call a “desk charger”, and in either case the charging unit is able to store 2 of the accessories that click on when correctly attached. The user can put these attachment sites up as the desk charger or down when attaching to the wall.
I really love the fact that the roller unit can be opened without much effort for cleaning, but beyond that it is great that this roller does not take human and pet hair and twine it around the roller bar. In fact, nothing was around the roller bar, so that disgusting and time consuming chore of cleaning your vacuum’s roller bar is now a no go, yeah.
So what are the pros of this machine? This machine does have great suction power and does pick all up from the floor. The box describes the digital display is intuitive, which it is, because it is up front and very visual with easy + and – signs to either increase or decrease the power of the motor. Next, the battery is easy to slide into place and detach when you need to recharge it, which is quick in time to get the full charge as marked by 3 visible blue lights on the battery itself. I really love that the dust bin and its components are also easily detachable without sweat, but also completely submergible into water for cleaning without disrepair, how easy is that? Oh, I do want to say that I have used all the attachments and the suction and pick up poser in my estimation was not compromised at all. I really do love using that mini motor attachment in small and tight areas that need vacuuming like the floors of your car or the treads and risers of your staircase or other carpeted areas that might be in a window nook or platform.
So you ask what are the cons? Well, this unit with its attachments is pricey, but when you look at comparable manufacturer’s units, the deal here is that the suction and power of the unit coupled with the fact that the roller on both the main and the mini attachment stay clean is a bonus in my book.

Well this was a real surprise!! Watch out Dyson!! This little vacuum is almost fun to use – almost! It is not so heavy which makes it a bit easier to use. Seems to pick up dirt pretty quickly and empties easily.

Wanted the $800 dollar dyson but couldn’t justify spending that kind of money on a stick vac. This one is still not cheap but at half the price it’s a good alternative. The charging dock with accessory storage is a nice touch with the only downside being that you are not able to attach the main vac tube on it when you’re not using it. The battery last long enough to get everything done around a regular 3 bedroom home. I looked at other stick vacs and this one seemed to be the best of them all for the money. It’s considered a pet vac but I do not have any pets and it works flawless so far. Only time will tell if it goes the distance. If it fails I bought the warranty either way. I have Samsung appliances so it fits right in place beside my Samsung fridge.

The market for “stick” vacuums is growing, and Samsung has several entries that are quite good. I got the Jet 70 Pet Stick, which is their most reasonably priced model. I’ve been using a Dyson for the last year, so when I needed an additional vacuum, I decided to give the Samsung a try. It’s significantly cheaper than the Dyson, but I wanted to see if there were too many tradeoffs to make it worth it.
The first thing I noticed was that the Samsung uses an electronic on/off switch rather than a trigger. The Dyson uses a trigger, but it doesn’t lock, so you have to keep it depressed the entire time you’re using it. That made the switch on the Samsung seem like a breath of fresh air. It also has an easy-to-use power adjustment switch that can be used on the fly, which is another plus.
Battery life is rated at 40 minutes on the lowest power setting, while the Dyson is rated at 60 minutes. In real-life usage, you won’t get anywhere near that using higher power settings. On the highest suction power, I didn’t get 10 minutes, but the medium power level provided about 15 minutes or maybe a little more. If there’s one area that could be improved, it’s battery life. You’re not going to use this for a continuous whole-house vacuuming session, but doing a few rooms at a time or a quick pick-up is no problem. One feature of the Jet 70 that I really appreciate is the removable battery. Samsung provides a wall-mounted charger that can hang the vacuum while charging, but the battery can also be placed in the charger by itself, if you’d prefer not to dedicate wall space to the charger.
The dust bin on the Jet 70 is small, but adequate for most rooms. Emptying it involves removing the bin, then removing the filter and “cyclone” center. While this is admittedly more of a hassle than the Dyson, it’s not too bad, and does make it easier to access all the parts. It’s not exactly “touch free”, but you really don’t come in contact with the dirt.
The Jet 70 is very well constructed and feels solid. The motorized brush head is also easy to disassemble, which makes it easy to clean up if you get fibers wrapped around it. There’s an additional smaller head for things like stairs and cleaning your car. Interestingly, it does not have brushes, but rather a protruding rubber strip. This works well enough, but I think brushes work better. It comes with the usual compliment of accessories, and the crevice tool features a unique telescoping feature to help you really get into those hard to reach spots. In a head to head comparison with the Dyson, both vacuums fared equally at picking up lines of salt on a hardwood floor.
So, is the Jet 70 a winner? I think it is, given the lower price. The Dyson may have been slightly more powerful, but I’m not sure it’s worth hundreds more. The real question I have is longevity, but only time will tell (see what I did there?). My Dyson is still going strong almost 18 months in, and I hope that the Samsung Jet 70 will do just as well. If you’re looking for a well-built mid-range stick vacuum, take a look at the Jet 70.

I am a member of Best Buy’s Technical Insider Network, TIN for short. Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.
The Samsung Jet 70 is lightest stick vacuum I have owned. This is very important to my wife because she does most of the vacuuming in our home. Before you hit that hate mail button please note that my wife loves vacuums and vacuuming – of her own accord. An indication of a good vacuum, for her, is a combination of weight, maneuverability, versatility, and ease of maintenance. The Samsung Jet 70 wins all these categories.
Cleaning experience:
After cleaning the first floor, which is a combination of hard surfaces and rugs, my wife reported that she loved the weight and the maneuverability more than our previous vacuums. She also loved the freedom that came from being cordless. Swapping out most of the attachments was a snap. Unfortunately, removing the pet cleaning head takes a bit of strength and coordination. It is difficult to depress the latch, hold the motor unit, and pull on the pet cleaner accessory all at the same time. Emptying the dust bin was also a easy. Press the button on the dust trap, pull straight down, remove the filter, and dump over the trash barrel. Over-all, she likes this better than previous stick vacuums we have owned.
I tackled the basement. The basement has a combination of tile, concrete, and rugs of various sizes and thicknesses. The basement builds up with the same kind of dirt as the first floor with the bonus of arts and crafts debris. I put the vacuum on medium power and tore through all the surfaces in my basement in about 10 minutes. I noticed two things. First, the Samsung Jet 70 had a harder time maneuvering on rugs than on a hard surface. I believe this is because the brush roller does not double as a drive mechanism like similar vacuums. The thicker the carpet the more difficult it was to control. It was not bad. I could still vacuum the carpet and reach the whole floor. I just had to put more force behind my strokes than other vacuum cleaners in its class.
Second, depending on the dirt I was trying to capture, I would have to make multiple passes before the vacuum would capture it. This was most noticeable with the bits of paper left over from craft. In these instances, I had to turn the vacuum up to full power and make another pass. Lesson her is to use the right amount of power for the right job. I included a before and after photo of my rug.
Controls:
Controls are digital, simple, and conveniently placed on the handle. It takes zero effort to quickly fly through the power settings with my thumb. I do not have to stop vacuuming to adjust power. Press the center button to turn the Samsung Jet 70 On and Off. The buttons to the bottom left and right of the power button will turn the power up and down between Low, Medium, High.
Pet hair remove:
I am impressed with the pet hair clean-up accessory. I enlisted my rabbit, a jersey wooly, to assist me a test. I placed him on the chair, encouraged him to run around, and then brushed him with my open hand. The chair looked awful when we were done. I then applied the hair removal tool to the chair and started cleaning. The chair was clean in seconds without any leftovers. Please see my before and after photo.
Dirt Cup and air filtration:
The Samsung Jet 70 contains dirt to the dirt cup. I have owned a few stick vacuums over the years that had superior air filtration systems but the seals around the dust cup were poor; allowing dust to re-enter the room. I do not see the Samsung Jet 70 suffering from this issue. The seal for the Jet 70’s dirt cup is tighter fitting and has overlapping air seal rings. There are two seals behind the filter. This is the part of the dust cup that clicks into the drive unit. The third seal ring is between the dust cup container and the filter. The sub-assembly also overlaps each other which allows for the Jet 70 to have a tighter seal than I have seen on any other vacuum I have ever owned. Samsung is serious when they say their vacuum will remove 99.9999% of particles from the air. This starts with containment. And Samsung did a great job with containment. There were no strange smells in the room after vacuuming.
Wall installation/Charging unit:
I recommend hanging the charging unit near a power outlet. The charging cord is a few feet long. This will allow you to hang it near an outlet if you do not have room directly next to an outlet. Be sure to attach the power cord to the back of the charging unit before screwing it into the wall. There is no way to plug in the charging until once it is mounted. You could charge the vacuum on the floor. My wife did this directly after unpacking the Jet 70. I do not recommend that you do the same. The Jet 70 is incapable of free standing let alone free stand with a multi-pound charging until attached to the battery.
The charging unit has two mounts that securely store two of the three attachments that come with the Samsung Jet 70. The pet hair removal tool does not attach to the charging base. The other two attachments clip into the charging unit using the same snap and secure method used on the vacuum body and stick. They will never fall off. Remove them from the charging unit is equally simple.
Noise:
The vacuum is quieter than any vacuum I have ever owned. This includes operation at full power. It is quite impressive considering how much air is moving through the vacuum.
No lights:
Finally, you are probably wondering why I did not give this vacuum five stars. I am disappointed in Samsung for not incorporating lights. One of my tests was to clean the cobwebs from the corners of my home theater. I used the Extension Crevice Tool for this. The lighting in the room is poor by design. Which immediately brought to my attention how useful a light would be in this type of situation. My previous stick vacuums have lights. I did not realize how useful this was for cleaning hard to reach places, and even some surfaces, without lights. Samsung, why did you not include lights to this entire product line!? This is the only reason why I am giving this a four-star review. This is a design miss and I encourage Samsung to revisit lights on next year’s models.
Conclusion:
This is a quality vacuum cleaner. It is light weight, quality components, and smartly designed (less the lights). My wife loves it. Setup and installation are easy. It does take a bit more effort to move over carpet than other vacuums I have owned. It captures a lot of dirt. Please see included photo for my fifteen-minute cleaning session. It looks and feels like a premium device. And there are no ugly cords to pick up, keep straight, or trip over. If the lights are not an issue for you then I say give the Samsung Jet 70 a try.
Thank you for reading my review.

A really nice looking vacuum, and a great performer as well. The first thing I noticed when I started using this vacuum is how smooth it glided across my wood floors. I can usually feel the plastic wheels rolling across the floor on other cordless vacuums I’ve used, but not this one. It effortlessly slid across the floor with ease and I couldn’t feel our hear all the grooves in the floor. Fantastic! The other feature that makes this vacuum stand out is the charger. You can use the charger as a countertop charger so you don’t have to screw the charge to the wall anywhere. Very handy for me because the only place I can hide the charger on the wall is the basement, and I get tired of going up and down to get it and put it back. Here’s a list of all the pros and cons I found in using this vacuum:
Pros:
-Simple one button operation. Press it to turn on and off. No need to hold down on a trigger button.
-As I stated above, smooth rolling
-Looks cool
-The dust bin actually comes off of the vacuum. I don’t have to bring the whole vacuum outside to empty it.
-Enough power and battery life to vacuum my whole house (3,000+ sq ft with hardwoods and area rugs)
-Unique charger as discussed above
-Telescoping crevice tool. I don’t know why this isn’t standard on all vacuums. I can really get far under the stove and fridge now.
Cons:
-The motorized brush attachment could be designed better. I mainly use it on the couch. The rubber brush doesn’t extend beyond the bottom of the attachment, so in order to actually brush the fabric, the fabric has to suck up into the attachment a bit. This doesn’t work well with stiffer fabrics. So pet hair just kind of balls up on the felt strip on the bottom.
-The placement of the dust bin can get in the way when you are using attachments. The dust bin is located on top of the vacuum stem. Usually it comes straight out of the dust bin. It prevented me from getting into really tight spaces, such as under my car seat. A minor design flaw.
Overall, a really great performing vacuum that is the smoothest vacuum that I’ve ever used. A few great design details that set it apart from other vacuums, but also a few flaws. Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend this vacuum without hesitation.

The Samsung – Jet™ 70 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with Turbo Action Brush is an adaptable and useful portable vacuum cleaner that works on multiple surfaces and is suitable for users with kids and/or pets. We will step through the features and usage impressions and then provide some pros and cons for this device.
Feature-wise this vacuum is a straightforward device – it is a battery-operated vacuum cleaner. The unit comes with 2 main heads – the Turbo Action Brush and a Mini Motorized Tool. Additionally, the unit comes with a Combination tool – allowing one to easily switch surfaces with the same tool, an extending crevice tool, a wall mount (With mounting kit) a battery, and a Battey Charger. An extension pipe is also included to allow the unit to be used in an upright configuration, or in a handheld configuration to reach all those out of the way places that one needs to vacuum. The main unit has the power/suction settings (min, Medium, and Max), the waste bin (0.8 L / 0.21-gallon capacity), the main motor, the HEPA and cyclone filtration system (rated capturing at 99.999% of dust 0.3 to 10 microns in size) and the battery mount. The unit is rated at up to 40 minutes of run time that depends solely on the combination of power and tools used. The unit takes 3.5 hours to fully recharge. It does come with a docking station that can either be used to mount the unit on the wall for charging and storage of the tools while it is not in use or in a desktop configuration that holds the crevice and combination tools and can charge the battery. The unit weighs 5.73 lbs. and is rated for up to 150 Air Watts of Suction.
Usage Impressions
This vacuum cleaner is a well-designed and useful tool for one’s cleaning regimen. Since the unit it portable it has distinct uses cases where it has advantages including but not limited to Stairs, Quick clean up scenarios, reaching dusting high places, and the Car. This unit is very useful for vacuuming stairs as you don’t have to manhandle a full upright unit with a long power cord on the stairs – increasing the safety of stair vacuuming while doing a better job because the tools fit better on the stairs. The portability of the unit makes it ideal for a quick clean up use case. The unit’s high degree of portability is also awesome when using the device for dusting duties as it is easier to reach the corners of the ceilings and walls with this unit than a typical upright unit and of course, the combined use of the Mini Motorized tool, the combination tool, and the crevice tool made quick work of cleaning out a vehicle.
Summary
Overall, this unit has some very nice features. Personally, I find vacuuming stairs much safer using this vacuum than our regular upright vacuum cleaner. The Min Power level is suited for light vacuuming use cases and in many cases on will have to use either the medium level – which I found to be perfect for doing the stairs during testing or Max level and consequently impact the battery life. It gets a 4 on features as well as performance.
At the current $349.99 MSRP price point its falls into either the upper end of the middle-range for price or the lower end of the high-range for price. Personally, I find this to be a good device and perhaps worth the price. At $299.00 it would be a steal.
Pros: Size, portability, Safety advantage for vacuuming stairs.Acceptable battery life on low and medium settings.
Cons: Not as much suction as other brands, the Extremely low battery life on the max setting, the cost is a little high.

I have been using this for about a month now and have really enjoyed it. I’ve mainly used it for quick small clean up between weekly vacuuming. This does great to clean up the messes after dinner and cleaning up the extra dog fur. The larger canister was one of the big reasons for purchasing this vacuum over others. The larger canister helps with the long dog fur from my German Shepherd. Any smaller canisters would fill too quickly with how much she sheds.
For most of the cleaning I do I am able to use the low to medium speed which helps the battery last longer. Only when going over carpet do I turn it up to high.
I have medium pile carpet which is probably the thickest carpet this vacuum can handle. I have to turn it on high which quickly uses up the battery. Luckily I am only using it in small carpeted areas. Most the cleaning I am doing is on tile or hardwood. So if you have mostly medium/high pile carpet this would not be a good vacuum for you. If you have low pile carpet I think this would work just as well as it does on hard floors.
