Post-Purchase Truths

Samsung: What to watch for

  • Hidden Cost

    Requires ongoing purchases of Clean Station disposal dust bags.

    While hygienic, the auto-empty clean station relies on proprietary sealed disposable bags that cost ~$35–$45 per year in recurring consumables.

Dyson: What to watch for

  • Hardware Quirk

    Tiny 0.10-gallon dustbin requires emptying 2–3 times per cleaning.

    The compact canister fills up rapidly in homes with multiple shedding pets, interrupting cleaning flow.
