Effortless and exceptional cleaning for all types of surfaces with the Samsung Jet 70

Thu, Sep 29, 2022

With its lightweight design the Samsung Jet 70 will allow you to clean your home effortlessly with easy control and movement. A lightweight design ensures maximum usability, and reduces the strain on your wrist. The handheld body weighs just 1.48kg, which is 21 per cent lighter than conventional Samsung cleaners, so you can easily clean all around your house - manoeuvre to vacuum stairs, under sofas, and all the hard-to-reach places. Also the 180-degree swivel head allows the vacuum to change direction effortlessly.

It cleans hardwood, tile, and carpeting with intense suction power up to 200AW. The air system optimizes airflow, while its five layered HEPA filtration system instantly traps dust particles. The 0.8-litre, high-capacity dust bin collects more dirt, dust, and debris so you don’t have to empty it as often. As it is fully washable, cleaning it is a snap. Banish even the tiniest dust particles from carpets and hard floors with the turbo action brush, spinning at around 3,750 times a minute.
