Overview of the Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner: a powerful cyclone as standard

Outdated cyclone model Samsung 1800w

Previously, when there was no wide range of models, and the range of vacuum cleaners was limited to 1-3 series, the devices differed mainly in power and design. In 2014-2016, a lot of reviews about the Samsung Twin 1800W were published. About 5 years ago, she was really popular and left the supermarket shelves very quickly.

The quality of parts and assembly turned out to be on top - the model can still be found on resale sites. The owners ask for a vacuum cleaner that is obsolete according to some characteristics for 2-3 thousand rubles.

If you urgently need a cleaning device, and the budget is limited, you can use the services of sites like Avito and temporarily provide yourself with an assistant of medium power.

The vacuum cleaner is compact, with a comfortable ergonomic handle and dust collection bowl. There were samples of various bright colors on sale.

The Twin 1800W vacuum cleaner was recognized as a success thanks to the mass of positive reviews. The owners of the model noted the excellent quality of cleaning, maneuverability, comfort of operation and cleaning of the vacuum cleaner itself (emptying the bowl and washing the filters).

The negative points include insufficiently elastic hose material, loud noise during cleaning, and rapid wear of the sponge filter.

A brief photo review of the characteristics of the vacuum cleaner Samsung Twin 1800w:

Due to the low price and a set of basic functions, Samsung bagless vacuum cleaners are in demand and loved by users. Models 1800w are medium power vacuum cleaners, quite suitable for household cleaning.

Functionality and technical parameters

The equipment is suitable only for dry cleaning inside residential or office premises. Removing wet dirt or liquids will cause moisture to enter the motor cavity and cause a short circuit. An electronic performance corrector is not provided, the user independently calculates the suction power using a mechanical slotted regulator on the handle.

The nozzle included in the kit allows you to remove dust from hard floor coverings using an air stream and an optional rubber squeegee. A pair of wheels is mounted on the base, making it easier to move the tool across the floor. The mechanical regulator allows you to remove the scraper and increase the flight of the pile. The configuration is used when cleaning carpets or upholstered furniture.An additional nozzle is used to remove dust from hard-to-reach places.

The collected garbage enters the cyclone unit of the system Twin Chamber System, where the flow swirls and dirt particles are separated, which then settle on the walls of the flask.

On the outer side of the tank there are marks showing the degree of filling of the hopper with dust. Remains of pollution are separated by a foam rubber motor filter, and finely dispersed allergic substances are retained by a Hepa type element located in the outlet channel.

Specifications SC4326:

• engine power - 1.6 kW;
• dust flask capacity - 1.3 l;
• suction power - 350 W;
• range - 9.2 m;
• noise level during operation - up to 82 dB;
• cord length - 6 m;
• body width - 280 mm;
• height - 238 mm;
• length - 395 mm;
• weight - 4.1 kg.

What to look for before buying?

Since there is a fairly wide variety of vacuum cleaners on the market, it is important to understand all the characteristics and subtleties that you should pay attention to before buying. After all, otherwise you are buying a "pig in a poke" and do not know if this or that model will cope with cleaning your house.

No. 1 - the design and functionality of the device

Depending on the type of construction, the units differ in the way they handle the dust that is sucked in. The most common are devices with a bag. That is, all the garbage that you have collected ends up in a disposable or reusable fabric or paper dust bag. After cleaning, it must be cleaned.

A good choice would be vacuum cleaners with a Samsung container. They are much easier to maintain. In them, dust is collected by swirling air according to the principle of a cyclone.It is due to centrifugal force that all the garbage that has fallen into the container is knocked into lumps.

It should be noted that the cyclone type filter cannot hold all the dust. This is explained by the fact that the smallest particles still pass through the cyclone and exit the vacuum cleaner along with the air flow. To avoid this, devices are usually equipped with an additional set of filters.

To clean the plastic container, you just need to remove it and simply rinse it under water or shake it over the trash can. Then let the container dry.

There are also vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter. They are designed for both dry and wet cleaning. In this case, all the dust accumulates in a flask with water. But to retain the maximum amount of dust, such units are usually supplemented with another filtration system.

Vacuum cleaners equipped with an aquafilter are as easy to maintain as possible. After cleaning, you can pour dirty water into the sink or toilet bowl, rinse the container and insert it back. Do not forget to clean the filter that cleans the outgoing air flow in a timely manner.

No. 2 - performance and suction power

It should be noted right away that power consumption, as well as suction power, are two completely different characteristics. These figures depend on many factors.

For example, suction power rests on the throughput of filters. It also affects the smoothness of the inner surface of the device.

Manufacturers do not always indicate the suction power of the device in its technical documentation. In this case, it is better to give preference to the most productive model, which is equipped with a smooth power regulator.

No. 3 - weight and noise level

Most vacuum cleaners weigh between 3 and 10 kg. But in some cases there are deviations up or down.

The lightest are models in which dust is collected in a container or a fabric / paper bag. Their weight usually does not exceed 4 kg. Washing vacuum cleaners (> 9 kg) are considered the heaviest. Devices with an aquafilter weigh about 5-6 kg.

As for the noise level, an indicator of 70-80 dB is acceptable. This can be compared to a group of people who are talking loudly or arguing.

Models with noise levels above 80 dB are considered excessively loud. The highest quality and most expensive are devices that, during operation, emit a sound no higher than 60 dB.

You should not draw a parallel between the power and volume of the vacuum cleaner. If the model is designed correctly, then even when using the device at the limit of its capabilities, the noise level will be acceptable. This is achieved by improving the insulation ability and using an expensive motor.

No. 4 - a set of filters for air purification

Most models on the market have a HEPA filter. Their quality and effectiveness is evidenced by the fact that they are used in the aerospace industry. Such filters can hold even the smallest particles of debris and dust.

But high efficiency becomes the main reason for fragility. For example, in vacuum cleaners with a bag, the filter has to be changed every 3-4 months.

It is important to note that many modern devices are complemented by coal-type cleaning systems. This solution allows you to keep unpleasant odors, making the air clean and fresh.

User opinions about Samsung SC4140

The best way to find out the whole truth about a vacuum cleaner is to listen to the opinions of users who have been actively using the device for cleaning the house for a year or more.

There are a lot of positive reviews, while they relate to both the quality of cleaning and design features.

The vacuum cleaner is recognized as compact, lightweight, convenient, which is very important for regular household chores.

The SC4140 is ideal for cleaning up a 1-2 bedroom apartment. But some skilled owners have learned to use a household model even for cleaning construction waste.

Many people like that there are spare bags and other parts on sale, while instead of expensive original consumables, you can buy cheap but high-quality analogues. We appreciated the quick cleaning of the dust bag and the emptying of the dust container, which is carried out in a couple of minutes. The low cost is also a plus.

There are far fewer negative reviews. Here are some notes:

• to access the fine filter, you need to unscrew the cover;
• dust does not collect well on synthetic carpets;
• when moving quickly, the body turns over;
• uncomfortable handle;
• the smell of dust during and after the cleaning procedure.

In general, the model is recognized as productive, able-bodied and convenient - it is not for nothing that it scores 4.5 points on a 5-point scale in various ratings.

What do the owners say about the vacuum cleaner?

The reviews of the owners of the Korean vacuum cleaner are traditionally ambiguous. Every successful user finds the harvester both quite acceptable and not completely satisfying. These are the costs of operating any household tool.

For example, one of the owners (an avid summer resident) sees the functionality at 100%. He notes the effective collection of dust, sand, blades of grass, sawdust, etc.Given the light weight, it is convenient to carry the equipment to different buildings of the suburban area.

Another owner (urban) complains about too fast clogging of the foam filters, especially the first one, which is installed under the container. Clogged filters, according to the user, have a strong effect on traction, which causes the electric motor to overheat.

But most consumers only speak positively about the technique, indicating the high quality of cleaning. In particular, the good dust collection efficiency and suction power wins over.

Manual

The attached instruction manual has been translated into Russian, the documentation has been unified for the equipment of the SC43хх series. Before using the product, you must read the manufacturer's recommendations, and then assemble the components in the box. Replacement of filters and cleaning of equipment from contamination is carried out after disconnecting the plug from the socket.

To clean the container from contamination, you must:

1. Pull the tank out of the vacuum cleaner body by simultaneously pressing the button and pulling the assembly towards you.
2. Carefully remove the cover, when dismantling, part of the dust adhering to the element spills out, it is recommended to perform the operation on a bathtub or a spread newspaper.
3. Pour the contents of the flask into a bucket.
4. Rinse the internal parts with cold water without adding detergents. It is allowed to use a soft brush that does not damage the polycarbonate.

In the lower part of the case tray there is an air channel covered with a foam filter in a plastic frame. The filter is washed with water and then dried for 12-15 hours.A plastic ring is mounted on the outer side of the element to remove the part from the seat. The filter is installed with a ring to the container. The Hepa outlet is secured by a plastic cover mounted on the back of the case. The filter is cleaned with compressed air, the manufacturer recommends changing the element after 6 months. operation of the equipment.

Criteria for choosing a container vacuum cleaner

In order not to be disappointed in the purchase, you should carefully evaluate the characteristics of the model you like.

The following parameters affect the quality of work and ease of use:

• container type;
• model design;
• suction power;
• filtration system;
• the volume of the dust collector;
• ease of use.

Let's take a closer look at each of the above criteria.

No. 1 - the optimal volume of the dust collector

Units may have a conventional plastic container that replaces the rag bag. Their advantage is an unlimited service life - it is enough to clean the tank every time. Minus - a low degree of air purification.

More efficient - cyclone type dust collector.

In boxing, waste is separated into large and small fractions. At the outlet, the air flow is additionally filtered. Samsung has improved the cyclone with an Anti-Tangle turbine

Bagless models are also vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter. Dirty streams pass through the water curtain - all the smallest dust particles remain in the liquid. Aqua vacuum cleaners are a great solution for allergy sufferers, but they cost more than cyclones.

No. 2 - structural design of the model

There are three options for vacuum cleaner designs:

1. Standard modification. This is a typical unit with a dust collector, a hose and a power cable. Advantages: high power, affordable cost, the ability to clean different coatings.Minus - limited maneuverability, dependence on the network.
2. vertical unit. The battery model is easy to manage, maneuverable, compact. The cost is comparable to the price of a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Disadvantages of vertical execution: limited work in time, low power, small dust collector.

A practical solution is a 2 in 1 vacuum cleaner. Long handle for cleaning the floor, manual unit for local cleaning of the polluted area

No. 3 - power and filtration

For effective cleaning of the apartment, a power of 300-350 watts is enough. It is advisable to purchase more productive equipment for spacious apartments.

The quality of filtration is important for allergy sufferers, families with children. Modern units are equipped with HEPA filters responsible for cleaning the air at the outlet of the dust collector

The higher the cleaning class (HEPA-11, 12 or 13), the more effective they are. It is better to choose washable microfilters - this will save on maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.

No. 4 - the volume of the dust container and convenience

The dimensions of the container indirectly determine the time of continuous operation. When choosing, you can follow the rule: the larger the area, the larger the bin should be.

Considering the ease of use, it is worth considering a number of parameters: the type of handle, the location of the control button, the completeness of the nozzles, maneuverability.

It is advisable to provide a basic set of accessories: cleaning of hard surfaces, cleaning of textile surfaces, dust and crevice nozzle

It is convenient when the power switch is always at hand. The maneuverability of the selected model is affected by the dimensions and chassis. Compact units are more nimble, and vacuum cleaners with rubberized wheels overcome obstacles more confidently.

Appearance and equipment

The SC4326 compact vacuum cleaner is equipped with a housing made of shock-resistant, high-gloss blue plastic. To accommodate the engine and the dust collector flask, the lower tray is used, made of black matte plastic with additional amplifiers. On the back of the hull are the main wheels with rubber tires mounted on individual axles. In front there is a roller, traditional for Samsung vacuum cleaners, equipped with a full swivel base.

The design of the Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner has 2 points for parking the nozzle during storage, located on the bottom of the case and the back cover. For carrying the product, a top folding handle is provided, pressing which activates the mechanism for cleaning the power cable. The front handle located on the flask is not designed to move the equipment. Above the motor is a gray button designed to turn the equipment on or off.

SC4326 kit includes:

• a vacuum cleaner with a container and filters installed inside;
• flexible plastic sleeve with handle and glued coupling;
• 2-section extension pipe with a reach adjustment mechanism;
• nozzle for cleaning floor coverings (adjustable);
• extension tip with a removable small-sized brush;
• instruction manual;
• warranty service form (filled in at the time of sale).

Pros and cons of the budget model

The Korean-made Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner has both certain advantages and some disadvantages.

A pronounced plus of each budget model of a vacuum cleaner is the price that satisfies most of the potential users.The variant with the Samsung SC4326 machine is a clear confirmation of this axiom.

One of the advantages of the Korean development is a convenient large transport handle. It would seem an insignificant detail, but in practice this design expands the user's convenience.

In addition to market value, the advantages of Korean technology include:

• application of cyclone filtration technology;
• small overall dimensions;
• sufficiently high suction power;
• the convenience of getting rid of the collected garbage;
• modern design look.

However, the advantages in price are often accompanied by a lot of disadvantages when it comes to the operation of a budget device. So, if we consider this model from the other side, we can see the negative points noticed by users.

When compiling a list of shortcomings or disadvantages in the operation of this household appliance, and it has them, you will have to remember the following:

• low durability of the electric motor (2 - 5 years);
• the effect of static electricity on the case;,
• extension rod telescope;
• manual suction control.

Let's talk more about the disadvantages of Samsung SC4326. The design of the Korean vacuum cleaner is equipped with a brush-type electric motor, designed for connection to a 220 volt network.

The execution of the section with the impeller is axial. Active operation of the device is accompanied by rapid wear of the brush elements. Therefore, after 2-3 years of work, the task of acquiring brushes appears.

However, it is problematic to find brushes on the market. You have to purchase directly the engine assembly. Fortunately, Korean vacuum cleaner engines (such as VCM K70GU) are on sale.

This type of electric motor is used in the Korean harvester system.This part is commercially available and can be replaced if necessary. The cost of the motor is about half the price of a vacuum cleaner

The manufacturer declared a guarantee for the motor no more than 5 years. Accordingly, you should be prepared for the failure of the motor after this period.

However, the five-year period promised by the manufacturer to the user will allow you to fully evaluate the functionality of the vacuum cleaner. Initially, everything looks beautiful and successful from the point of view of constructivism. Practice often changes beautiful pictures into a picture of the true reality.

The following video provides an overview of this model by a hardware store consultant:

The presence of a brushed electric motor in the design, plus the presence of most of the plastic-based parts of the case, all lead to the appearance of an electrostatic effect.

The body of the machine, being electrostatic, attracts dust, which accumulates in a thick layer. After cleaning is complete, thoroughly wipe the case with a damp cloth.

Another operational problem, after some time of using the vacuum cleaner, is the operation of the extension rod telescope. This accessory, due to the wear of rubbing surfaces, loses its fixation property.

As a result, the telescope is simply not fixed in the desired position. However, this defect is directly related to the user's attitude to the telescope rod.

One of the drawbacks of Korean technology is the suction force regulator. Sometimes, in the open state of the regulator, debris sucked in by a vacuum cleaner is thrown through the hole.

Conclusions and the best offers on the market

Samsung has managed to create many practical, convenient and at the same time inexpensive vacuum cleaners, and the SC4140 modification is one of them.If you only need dry cleaning, the model will easily cope with the task. It is also welcomed that a compact and lightweight device can be easily used by all family members.
