Controls on the Handle Expandable Pole. Bagless - ease of emptying. Two heads.

The Brush ad upholstery tool catches when you have it on the pole and fairly easily gets knocked off.

Just love it! I have 2 cats and a dog, and the turbo head can cope with the hair issues! Love the handle controls - even the children are happy to use it because its "cool"! Easy to empty. Very good value for money - feels sturdy. Attachments are easy to change. Really pleased with it.
-
The only negative would be, that it would be nice if the nozzle attachment could be stored on board. But it is only a minor issue as everything else is so great!

Excellent performance. Great for pet hairs. On auto suction moves from carpets to floors without readjusting, but if more suction is required, it is easy to re-adjust the suction power manually.Even coped with plastering and decorating debris.
Handy to have on/off switch on the handle.

Quality product, very well designed, really quiet to use, suction is incredible. Found this after an extensive search and glad that I did. Much cheaper than the best selling brand in the UK and far superior ; was bought to replace an upright cleaner, and am finding the turbo brush to be effective at cleaning carpets. Particularly like the "remote" controls on the handle.

None really. The dust container is a little on the small side, but very easy to empty and you get warned anyway so not really an issue.

Supposed to be good for wooden floors but has strange underside you flip between for carpet / hard floors by stepping on a button ... icon not obvious which one is for which! Hard floor version feels like it could be scratching the floor but it isn't. No rollers on the end (like Dyson) means that it's closer to the floor (good) but harder to move around - i find it quite an effort to push.

Bought this vacuum cleaner last month. Very quiet yet powerful suction, not too heavy, easy to empty the dust box. You can switch on/off & power control with the handle control also remove the blush bar of one of the blushes, which I only use, so you can remove hair, dust or pet hair completely!
Would recommend you to check with their website for detail. We are very pleased with this product.

not great suction, had a dyson before this and although it was old and cut out every 5 mins when it was sorking it had much stronger suction-which is after all what you want it for. So stylish, cool design and not great suction (on carpet) or great suction and not so cool design, your decision guys! ...

Vacuum Cleaner Buyers Guide
Manufacturer's Description
silencio vacuum cleaner
SAMSUNG’s new bagless vacuum cleaner, the Silencio, is not only streamlined, sophisticated and powerful, but it’s also quieter than ever – so you can clean at any time of the day or night. The Silencio features the Multi Chamber suction system, which is more powerful than conventional vacuum cleaners and maintains a high level of suction power no matter what surface you are cleaning. And with the Silencio’s Silver Nano technology and HEPA filtration system, you’re safe in the knowledge that you are protected against harmful dust particles and mites, even if you are a pet owner. The Silencio SC9540 also incorporates a blue LED display and auto suction mode, which automatically adjusts the suction power depending on the type of surfacing you are cleaning.
multi chamber system
SAMSUNG’s patented Multi Chamber System effectively removes dust and allergens without ever losing suction power. The bigger chamber traps the larger dust particles before the 6 smaller chambers trap the fine dust particles, meaning 99.3% of dust is contained in the vacuum cleaner. This results in clean exhaust air and long lasting suction power as there is no filter to get clogged.
strong suction power
Suction power is measured in air watts – the higher the air watts the higher the suction power of the vacuum cleaner. The Silencio’s suction power rating of 360 air watts exceeds that of conventional cyclonic vacuum cleaners and provides strong, constant suction.
infrared handle control
The infrared remote handle control allows you to effortlessly control the vacuum cleaner, without needing to reach down every time you want to vary the suction power or switch the vacuum on or off. Its ergonomic design makes it easy to hold, use and control.
low noise
The Silencio produces a sound level of only 73dB, meaning you can now talk on the phone or watch television whilst vacuuming. SAMSUNG has achieved this by not only reducing the noise level of the motor, but by removing irritating high frequency noises throughout the whole system.
HEPA 13 filtration
HEPA 13 filtration ensures that your vacuum cleaner only produces clean exhaust air, making it ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers. It does this by catching 99.95% of micro particles such as dust and allergens, leaving the air you breathe clean and healthy. Silencio vacuum cleaners have been approved by the British Allergy Foundation, giving you confidence that Silencio vacuum cleaners are the right choice for allergy sufferers.
silver nano protection
SAMSUNG’s unique Silver Nano technology applies the anti bacterial properties of silver to the dust bin, pre motor filter and post motor filter of the vacuum cleaner, preventing the build up of bacteria and odours and ensuring that the air emitted is odour free and bacteria free.
