Samsung vs Vax Vacuum Cleaners

Samsung and Vax sit at different price points in the UK cordless market. Samsung's cordless machines run from the Jet 65 Pet VS15A60AGR5 at £249 to the Jet 90 Pro VS20R9049T3 at £499, with the Jet 85 Pet VS20C8522TN at £349 and the Bespoke Jet Plus Pet VS20B95823W at £491 in between. Vax starts lower, with the Air Lift 2 Pet Plus bagless upright at £119, the Pace Cordless at £129, the Blade 4 at £139 and the Pace Plus at £189.

Samsung's technology centres on a digital inverter motor, Jet Cyclone design and multi-layered filters rated at 99.999%, with WiFi control through SmartThings on its premium models. Vax relies on multi-cyclonic separation and a HEPA filter rated at 99.99%. The Pace range has Boost Mode and captures up to 99.9% of fine dust, the Air Lift 2 Pet Plus includes a Turbo Tool for pet hair and converts to a lift-out machine, and the Blade 4 adds DustTracker LED headlights, a DustVault, a brushless motor and a three-hour fast charge.

Samsung suits buyers who want smart controls and a digital inverter motor for a busy home, and its five-year motor warranty helps with long-term ownership. Vax suits budget-conscious households and pet owners, especially those who want a cordless stick for quick tidy-ups or a bagless upright with a pet tool. The Pace models weigh 3.1kg, which is heavier than the 2.3kg Samsung Jet 65, so anyone who carries a vacuum up and down stairs may prefer the lighter Samsung.

Bottom line: choose Samsung if you want WiFi control and a sturdy cordless motor, with prices from £249 to £499. Choose Vax if price matters most, with models from £119 to £189, and you want a pet tool or LED headlights.
