Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi all,

Samsung, who made a a good bagged canister for a good while, is now making a serious effort in the area of bagless machines.  Below are links to a web page for the new Samsung Silencio (SC9540) and a PDF of its users manual.  It is being launched in the UK initially. 

It steals from LG, Electrolux and  even Miele.  The Silencio employs an automatic ("IntelliClean") speed regulator plus standard speed adjustment like the LG/Kenmore Progressive bagless as well as and infrared control on the hose's hand grip ala the Miele Galaxy series.  What appears original is the placement of the pre- and HEPA filters which allow for the vacuum's more compact form.

Offered as an option is what appears to be an electric low profile nozzle similar to the one developed by European Electrolux.  This is an interesting compliation of ideas.  One of Samsungs claims is that at 73 decibels it is quiter than Dyson.

It will be on the market shortly.  I hope some of our friends on the other side of the pond will get a chance to "kick the tires" on this new baby and give a report.

Here is video.

Hi DIB,

Thanks for the video.  However the bagless SC9540 I'm mentioning is in the background.  I wonder which model was being demoed as it is a spin on the Miele Galaxy series.  See following link:

Samsung is a formidable force in electronics and appliances.  It's products are widely available in the USA and worldwide. And its financial results are impressive.

Thanks Venson.

Hello Venson:

Interesting that the Samsung Silencio cann gets the largest writeup up all the vacuums in the appliance site you posted.

Hi Carmine,

I don't know how much of that is due to public relations effort since the cleaner is just entering the market.  Nonetheless, it is claimed to offer a lot of features that should pprove of interest to those looking for better product.  High suction, very low noise and there are floor tool options.  There's even an elbow that can be attached between the wands to minimize bending when cleaning underr furniture.

I found many references to the SC9540 on the web but no statements from actual testers yet.  All in all, I like the look of it and hope its the performer they say it is.  I've already emailed Samsung today to learn when and if it will arrive in the States.  I also called Samsung in the U.S. to see if I could learn something but they had no info to offer.  Per the person I spoke with, I should be getting an email address of parties involved to who I may send "encouragement".

That usually gets me nowhere in cases like this but -- you gotta keep tryin'!

Best,

Venson
