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.

Shark: What to watch for

Maintenance
Washable filters must air-dry for a full 24 hours before reassembly.
Running the vacuum with a damp filter can damage the suction motor and cause musty odors, requiring an overnight wait or spare filter.
