The Samsung VAC-9069G canister is a very well designed vacuum cleaner with its unique shape. It has a soft padded handle for easy carrying. The vacuum rides on four swivel wheels that allow for better maneuverability. Turn the vacuum on and realize that this vacuum is very quiet. The air, as it passed through the end of the hose, makes a louder noise than the motor.
The Samsung performs very well on carpeting. It uses a more improved power nozzle compared to the previous model. The power nozzle now has a height adjustment for better control over diverse carpeting densities.
The attachments on the 9069G are not that great if you are someone who uses them often. The upholstery nozzle is ok, but the dusting brush is weak; with stiff nylon bristles. The vacuum cleaner comes with a floor attachment that does not use bristles like most vacuum cleaners. It uses a rubbery strip to grab and stop the debris before being sucked up into the vacuum cleaner. This attachment cannot be used to clean walls. I would suggest an additional purchase of a generic wall/floor brush if you wanted better performance on walls and flooring.
Samsung uses a basic twin ply bag on their vacuum cleaner. It is more on the small side, so this vacuum cleaner may be inadequate in large homes. Bag changing more often may not be a problem if finances are not an issue for you. The filtration is not the best, but it should be adequate if the user does not have major allergies.
Something to consider is after purchase service. While the Koreans are making a mark in the U.S. market, the Samsung vacuum cleaners are not as wide spread as their electronics. Consider where you will take the vacuum if repairs are needed. Are parts going to be readily available?
For the price being offered for the 9069G, I would say that this is a good purchase.
