Samsung Bespoke Jet Complete Extra
What’s the story?
This is the only cleaner on test with a floor-standing docking station. It’s bulky but designed to look good. When docked, the dust canister is automatically emptied into a larger dust bag in the ‘clean station’; it comes with three 2L bags.
This model comes with a ‘spray spinning sweeper’ head: a spinning polisher for hard floors. It also includes a caddy to store the polisher and all three tools (crevice nozzle, multi-tool and powered small brush), and to charge the second battery. Great, but you will need lots of floor space and two power sockets.
Is it any good?
The Samsung arrives in a huge box with single-use plastic bags – sigh. Anyway, it’s large and looks good, but you can’t help feeling that buyers in this price range would be likely to put it in the utility room anyway… and pay someone else to do the cleaning. That said, it’s refreshing that the makers have thought about where to stow accessories. There’ll be no bag of forgotten tools in the cupboard under the stairs.
Samsung’s tube is the only one on test that’s telescopic (525-665mm) for users of all heights. It has a single vacuuming floorhead featuring dual rollers: fluffy and brush. Buttons, as usual, are right there under your thumb. Tap one to power on, then the plus and minus buttons let you select from four power levels: min, mid, max and jet.
The floor polisher head is simple – a spray water bottle and a pair of spinning pads – and you use the same buttons to control it. The spray is liberal, so you really don’t need much. (If you don’t want the polisher, there’s a version without for around £100 less.)
The vacuum works well. Results are good even on minimum power, but it defaults to mid each time you turn it on. Edge performance is great, cleaning up to 2mm from the wall from both the side and the front. The convenience of always being charged, with a second battery at the ready, makes this handy as either a spot cleaner or a primary vacuum… if you can spare the floor space.
