Design

Vacuum Type Stick/Handheld

The Samsung Jet 70 is fairly well-built. It's mostly made of plastic, though it does have a lightweight metal wand with a matte finish. It looks and feels fairly premium, with a slightly sturdier build quality than many other alternatives. That said, it's worth noting that the glossy control buttons on its handle can scratch easily.

Assembling the vacuum is easy and intuitive. The charging station is easy to put together, but you may need to look at the instructions.

The Samsung Jet 70 is pretty easy to maintain. Fewer parts need regular cleaning compared to the similarly-designed Samsung Jet 90 Complete.

• Dirt compartment: You can remove the dustbin by pushing the release button near its top edge. After removing the micro filter and cyclone filter assembly, you can then empty the dustbin over a garbage can, though be aware that this can spread a cloud of dust. You can also wash it with water when needed.
• Cyclone: Twist the cyclone filter counter-clockwise against the dustbin to separate the two. When necessary, you can use the included cleaning tool to clear away any stuck-on debris. It can also be washed with water whenever you notice a significant buildup of debris
• Micro filter: The micro filter is located above the cyclone filter and can be pulled free by its grab handle. You should clear away any stuck-on dirt regularly and wash it with water once a month.
• HEPA filter: Twist to unlock and remove it from the main body of the vacuum, where it sits above the dirt compartment. You can remove any dust and debris from this filter as needed. You shouldn't wash it with water.
• Turbo action brush head: Push the button on top of the head to unlock, then slide it out. The brushroll tends to collect pet hair pretty easily, so you'll need to clean it pretty frequently if you have heavily-shedding pets. Thankfully, it's very easy to cut away any tangled hair with a pair of scissors after removing the brushroll from the floorhead.
• Motorized brush tool: Use the crevice tool to clean this part.

Any part that you wash with water should be allowed to dry thoroughly, out of direct sunlight, before being put back in the vacuum. There's an LED light on the handle to indicate when there's a clog, brushroll obstruction, missing filter, or when the vacuum isn't assembled properly.

Bag Part Number No bag

Filter Part Number Unidentified

HEPA Filter Part Number VCA-SHF90B/XAA

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet incurs impressively low recurring costs.

• HEPA Filter: No replacement interval is given for the HEPA filter. However, it's recommended that you swap in a new one if you notice a decrease in vacuum performance even if you clean the filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations. You can buy a replacement HEPA filter here.

Height 44.37" (112.7 cm)

Width 9.84" (25.0 cm)

Depth 9.84" (25.0 cm)

Cord Storing Not Needed

On-Board Tool Storage No

Vacuum Rack/Station Yes

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet is fairly easy to store. Its wand isn't telescopic, so you can't set it to a lower height to have it take up a smaller vertical footprint. Its low-profile wall-mounted charging station does have space for two of its included tools. Unlike the Samsung Bespoke Jet, there's no additional accessory rack for charging a second battery pack simultaneously.

Bagless Yes

Volume 0.13 gal (0.50 L)

Full Indicator Yes

Bag Included No Bag Needed

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet has a reasonably-sized dirt compartment. Its measured capacity of 0.5 L falls short of the advertised claim of 0.8 L, so you'll probably have to empty it after one or two cleaning sessions. However, this is still in line with many other alternatives like the Dyson V11 Animal.

Minimum Wand Length 1.28 ft (0.39 m)

Maximum Wand Length 3.26 ft (1.00 m)

Total Range N/A

Since the Samsung Jet Light VS70 is cordless, its range is limited only by the remaining battery life and the room left in its dustbin. However, unlike the similarly designed Samsung Jet 90 Complete, it doesn't have a telescopic wand, making it harder to find a height to suit your preferences.

Total Weight 5.93 lbs (2.69 kg)

Weight In Hand 3.20 lbs (1.45 kg)

Carrying handle Yes

The Samsung Jet 70 is impressively portable. It weighs considerably less than some other alternatives like the Dyson V15 Detect. It also feels light in your hand, making it easy to hold onto for extended cleaning sessions.

Minimum Battery Life 6.5 min

Maximum Battery Life 48 min

Recharge Time 111 min

Recharge Dock Yes

Battery Life Indicator Yes

Removable Batteries Yes

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet has okay battery performance. Using it in its most energy-efficient 'MIN' mode with only its crevice tool attached yields almost 50 minutes of runtime, which is in line with the manufacturer's advertised claim of 40 minutes. However, it can drain its battery in a little over five minutes when using it in its most powerful 'MAX' mode with its floorhead attached, which is shorter than many other cordless vacuums, like the Dyson V8 Animal, when used in their most powerful suction mode. You need to work quickly when vacuuming stubborn messes or surfaces like high-pile carpeting. A trio of LED lights give you a good indicator of the remaining battery life.

Rotating Head Yes

Power Adjustment Yes

Self-Propelled No

Headlights No

Easy On/Off Yes

Head Surface Type Adjustment None

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet has few extra quality of life features. Its floorhead pivots for better maneuverability in cluttered areas. There are also three separate power modes that you can select using the '+' and '-' buttons: the energy-efficient 'MIN' mode, the default 'MED' mode, and the most powerful 'MAX' mode. If you purchase the Spinning Sweeper attachment and mount it to the vacuum, it will start in the 'WET' power mode by default, and you can't switch to another setting. Unlike the cheaper Samsung Jet 60 Pet, it features a small display screen with indicator lights for the vacuum's current power mode or for any status issues, like blockages or tangled debris.

Brushroll Yes

Brushroll On/Off No

Removable Brushroll Yes

Turbo Brush Yes

Crevice Tool Yes

Upholstery Tool Yes

Soft Bristle Brush Yes

Hard Bristle Brush No

Extension Wand Yes

Ceiling Fan Tool No

Pet Grooming Tool No

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet comes with a couple of tools and accessories. There's a miniature turbo brush for cleaning upholstered surfaces, a crevice tool for tacking debris in cracks, and a combination soft-bristle rush/upholstery too. Swapping between these attachments is very easy, thanks to their quick-release tabs. While it isn't included in the box, you can also buy the Spinning Sweeper floorhead, which uses two spinning mop pads to clear away stains on hard floors. You can use either disposable wet mop pads or washable dry mop pads on this tool.

Blower Mode No

You can remove the Samsung Jet 70's wand and floorhead to use it as a handheld vacuum for spot-cleaning smaller areas. If you buy the Spinning Sweeper floorhead, it can also be used as a mop for dealing with stains.

The Samsung Jet 70 does a fantastic job of cleaning high-pile carpet. It's even more effective than more expensive alternatives like the Dyson V15 Detect when dealing with fine debris like baking soda or larger material like sand on this surface type.

Bare Floor 100%

Low-Pile Carpet 100%

High-Pile Carpet 100%

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet does a fantastic job dealing with pet hair. It easily cleans away this kind of debris on bare floors as well as low and high-pile carpet. You'll need to cut away pet hair from its brushroll pretty regularly, but thankfully it's easily removable.

Maximum Suction 8.2 inH₂O (2.05 kPa)

Setting Used For Maximum "MAX"

Normal Suction 3.1 inH₂O (0.76 kPa)

Setting Used For Normal "MED"

Hose Diameter 1.3" (3.2 cm)

The Samsung Jet 70 has good suction power on its floorhead. Despite using a less powerful 150W motor than the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, which uses a 200W motor, it offers similarly impressive suction performance when using its Turbo Action Floorhead, which, despite outside similarities, helps generate higher suction force results. This vacuum was also tested in its 'MAX' suction mode with the Jet 90's two floorheads and wand, and you can see the results of said retests below:

• Samsung Jet 70 Vacuum + Jet 90 wand and Soft Brush floorhead 6.95 inH₂O (1.73 kPa)
• Samsung Jet 70 vacuum + Jet 90 wand and Turbo Action floorhead 5.95 inH₂O (1.48 kPa)

Bare Floor 68.0 dBA

Low-Pile Carpet 66.6 dBA

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet is very quiet. While it's still likely to mask the sound of nearby conversation when it's running in its default 'MID' power mode, it won't be especially disruptive for people in other rooms. That said, it's much louder when running in its 'MAX' mode, so it's better to use the vacuum in this setting sparingly if you don't want to annoy people nearby.

The Samsung Jet 70 is quite maneuverable. Its lightweight construction and pivoting floorhead make it easy to maneuver around obstacles. The absence of a suction trigger that you need to hold onto also reduces the amount of fatigue you feel while using the vacuum for extended periods. It's also easy to swap out any attachments for cleaning on top of furniture. Unfortunately, its floorhead is prone to get stuck on shag-pile rugs and carpeting. You'll also need to crouch pretty deeply to clean under tables and chairs. Since it doesn't have a telescopic wand, it might be a little tricky to find an ergonomic height that works for you.

Sofa Pickup Post Test

The Samsung Jet 70 does a decent job dealing with pet hair on furniture. Generally speaking, turbo brush tools are the best choice for cleaning pet hair on upholstered surfaces. In the case of this vacuum, its loose attachment hinge and inability to collect really fine hair make it hard to use while holding the vacuum in one hand. You can see how this tool performed on the test couch here, and the results of said performance test here.

While the combination tool is highly effective when dealing with pet hair on furniture, its narrow suction inlet makes it impractical for cleaning large areas, and you'll need to pull away any pet hair that gets stuck in the soft-bristle brush pretty often. It's recommended that you use the combination tool in conjunction with the turbo brush for optimal pet hair-cleaning performance on upholstered furniture.

Anti-Allergy Filter (HEPA) Yes

The Samsung Jet 70 does a great job trapping fine particles. The manufacturer advertises its five-layer filtration system as being able to trap 99.999% of microdust particles.

Wood Cracks Post Test

The Samsung Jet 70 does a decent job clearing away debris in cracks and crevices. Its 'Turbo Action Brush' floorhead generates a pretty tight seal against the contact surface, allowing it to clear away debris in shallow cracks and crevices. Unlike the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, it doesn't come with a fluffy brushroll, which is more effective for collecting debris in shallow cracks and crevices. Still, if you want to deal with debris in deeper cracks and crevices, the vacuum's dedicated crevice tool is the way to go.

Stain Pickup Post Test

Note: Since the 'Spinning Sweeper' attachment isn't available as part of a bundle with the Samsung Jet 70 and needs to be purchased separately, the vacuum's score for this section remains based on its stain-clearing performance with the standard floorhead.

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet Stick does a terrible job dealing with stains when used with its Turbo Action Brush floorhead. However, this vacuum is also compatible with the separately purchased 'Spinning Sweeper' floorhead, which uses rotating mop pads to clear away dried-on dirt and debris. You can see a video of the vacuum clearing away stains with the 'Spinning Sweeper' attachment with disposable wet pads here, and a picture of the contact surface after being cleaned here. The disposable wet pads are quite effective in dealing with stains, though they do tend to get quite dirty while in use, as seen here, so you might have to go through quite a few to deal with bigger messes.

Wet Compatible No

Water Pickup Post Test

Note: Since the 'Spinning Sweeper' attachment isn't available as part of a bundle with the Samsung Jet 70 and needs to be purchased separately, the vacuum's score for this section remains based on its water-clearing performance with the standard floorhead.

This vacuum isn't rated to suck up water. However, it is compatible with the 'Spinning Sweeper' floorhead, which uses rotating mop pads to clear away water when used with dry microfiber mopping pads. You can see a video of the vacuum clearing away water with the 'Spinning Sweeper' attachment with dry microfiber pads here, and a picture of the contact surface after being cleaned here. The dry microfiber cloths are effective in picking up small spills, but more than half a cup of liquid will likely saturate the pads and prevent them from absorbing any more liquid.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Samsung Jet 70 Pet is only available in one color variant: 'White'. You can see the label for our test unit here.

You can also purchase this vacuum with the 'Samsung Cleaning Station' add-on, which works similarly to a self-emptying dustbin for robot vacuums. You can take off the vacuum's dustbin and place it on top of the cleaning station to empty it without creating a large plume of dust and debris.

Let us know in the discussions if you come across another variant of this vacuum.
