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

  • Ergonomics

    Heavy top handle weight (nearly 9 lbs total).

    While the folding wand bends easily under furniture, lifting the main motor unit to reach ceiling corners or cobwebs requires serious bicep effort.
