There isn't a week that goes by without a big box arriving on my doorstep with another stick or robot vacuum to test, but after a year, I'm still using the Samsung Bespoke stick vacuum. During Black Friday, it's 28% off, bringing its price down to $499.99 (originally $799.99).
My home is a fantastic testing ground for these machines, with every kind of surface possible, tons of obstacles, and a dog who somehow carries pounds of dirt and dust into the house every day. The Samsung Bespoke Jet Vacuum, a stick vacuum I didn't expect to think much of, is the vacuum I use every day.
The vacuum comes with a stand that turns it into a modern sculpture, so there's no hiding it away. But that's OK, because that base is also a self-emptying dock. It turns out that once you have a self-emptying dock for your vacuum, you will realize how insulting it is that we've been touching all that debris and dust when we manually empty our vacuums.
The stick extends long enough to be comfortable at almost any height, whether you're 5 or 6 feet tall. It comes with a crevice tool and a soft tool, which is my favorite. It's perfect for your laptop keyboard, books, sculptures and anything else you don't want to damage.
The rollers on the main brush don't get clogged easily and I can't remember having to take the vacuum apart, ever. It sucks up dog toy floof, dust, and everything else in the way. It gets my rugs clean (like really clean) from dirty, dusty pawprints, and it gets into the corners on tile as well as hardwoods.
As much as I like my Dyson, the Samsung is half the weight. That makes a difference on a daily basis. Also, my Dyson hates microdust—it's the one thing that clogs the Dyson. My Samsung has no problem with it. The choice is clear for me.
