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

The Korean company "Samsung" supplies the commercial market with various household appliances, including vacuum cleaners. Korean-made devices are distinguished by an interesting design, well-designed architecture and quite decent technical specifications.

The brand traditionally maintains a balance of price and quality. A good example is the Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner, the design of which is extremely simple, but the quality of the materials used to assemble the device is up to standard.

As part of this review, we consider the features and main characteristics of this model, and talk about its pros and cons. We also pay attention to similar models from other manufacturers, presented on the home appliance market.

Features of the model Samsung SC4326

Taking into account the importance of cleaning domestic residential (and other) premises, the obvious factor in such matters is the availability of cleaning equipment - a significant help in terms of maintaining physical strength.

Owners of residential buildings, apartments, the hotel business often need equipment for cleaning efficient action and at the same time relatively inexpensive.

Vacuum cleaner features overview

The execution of the vacuum cleaner in the classical style, taking into account the budget cost (4 - 4.5 thousand rubles), in fact, does not give rise to consider any special details or functions. Nevertheless, some of the equipment of the Korean model can be noted.

In the commercial market there are enough offers, among which Samsung SC4326 (budget model) is clearly not the last place.

Specifications SC4326 for operational mode:

The complete set of the Korean device does not shine with a wealth of nozzles of various configurations, however, those accessories that are included in the classic delivery kit are enough to complete the household cleaning work.

Fully operational Korean vacuum cleaner Samsung SC4326. The main nozzle is installed on the bar as a cleaning accessory, the transport handle is raised - readiness for transfer to the place of work

A vacuum cleaner is attached to the vacuum cleaner for cleaning carpets and hard surfaces, as well as a nozzle for processing plinths, sills, suture joints. Traditionally, the corrugated hose acts as a connecting link between the nozzles and the vacuum cleaner.

An additional accessory of the corrugation is a telescopic tube-rod. At one end of the corrugated hose there is a mechanical lock for the inlet socket of the vacuum cleaner, at the other end there is a corner pipe equipped with a simple regulator of suction force.

This is what the input channel socket on the Korean vacuum cleaner body looks like, where the lock of the corrugated hose is inserted. The mechanical lock secures the accessory securely inside the socket

The vacuum cleaner body has overall dimensions of 280x395x238 mm - a very compact engineering solution that contributes to the convenience of cleaning. The model is equipped with a 6-meter network cable, so the coverage area of ​​the cleaning area is at least 9 m. There is a mechanism for quickly folding the cable to a reel inside the module.

Waste bin with cyclone

A kind of design feature is the garbage container. A vessel, rather simple in design, for collecting dust and other contaminants is made of transparent plastic.

Thus, the design of the cyclone separator, which is part of the design of the garbage collector, looks like. The container is tightly closed by a lid, after which it is inserted into the niche of the vacuum cleaner body

As a result, the user has access to visual control of the filling of the dust bag, which is convenient and practical. On the body of the container there is a stop mark on the level of filling. On top of the container is tightly closed with a lid in the color of the main body.

The removal of the container - detachment from the machine body - is carried out with a light movement of the hand. To perform this action, the handle is intended. On the removed container, the user just has to open the lid and delete the contents.

A convenient large handle on the body of the trash can provides a free recess / insert. In this case, the tightness of the container is not broken. It is enough for the user to apply a minimum of traction efforts

Inside the container, in the central part, a glass of cyclone is arranged, which occupies approximately half the space. As practice has shown, such a design cyclone filter It is quite effective in terms of separation of suspended particles.

Two-stage filtration system

It is difficult to call the existing filtering system a design feature of Samsung SC4326. Nevertheless, the two stages of the fine filter on a budget model is a real feature. True, the device of filtering systems is represented by the simplest version using ordinary foam rubber as the filtering material.

Sheet foam rubber is installed in the area immediately below the waste container. The filter in the area of ​​the rear wall of the main module is a prototype of the HEPA technology.

A complete set of accessories included with the filter system. An unassembled view shows both the fine filters included in the design of the vacuum cleaner, including the garbage collection container

The practical use of the vacuum cleaner indicates the optimal frequency of cleaning the filter elements about once every two to three months. Cleaning foam rubber sheet filters is carried out by the wet method - running water, followed by drying. Proper maintenance contributes to the longevity of the filter elements.

Elementary function control

The functionality of the Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner is the simplest, no frills, but it has its own characteristics.

For example, the function of automatically folding the network cable allows switching in two ways:

1. By pressing on the “lying” transport handle.
2. By activating a small button (with the handle raised).

Pulling the power cable to the required length is achieved by a small pulling force of the user. As soon as the traction is stopped, the cable is fixed by the brake mechanism. In such a simple way, the length of the power cord is conveniently adjusted.

Button to control the folding mechanism of the power cord. This control can be activated individually with the transport handle raised or can be acted upon directly through the handle

Turning on the equipment in the active action mode is performed by pressing the large round key, also located on the top panel of the main module. Pressing the return key again turns the vacuum cleaner off. This is a classic machine communicator circuit.

Chassis

The movement function of the vacuum cleaner plays an important role in the cleaning process. From the design of the chassis depends on "passability" and "agility" of the harvester. In this sense, the chassis of the Samsung SC4326 looks quite effective.

The chassis of the device is built on the basis of two large-sized wheels. Both wheels are made on the basis of rigid polypropylene. On the outer circumference, the wheels are trimmed with rubberized material.

This design of the wheels of the vacuum cleaner provides a smooth ride on all types of surfaces. Tightness of chassis components minimizes contamination

Due to the soft rubber, an easy springy stroke is achieved. In turn, the third, small wheel, located closer to the hose connection pipe, provides good “agility” of the device. In practice, it is noted - the vacuum cleaner freely overcomes the classic obstacles inherent in hard flooring.

Pros and cons of the budget model

Korean-made Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner has certain advantages as well as some disadvantages.

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

One of the advantages of Korean development is its convenient large transport handle. It would seem an insignificant detail, but in practice, such a performance extends the convenience of the user

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

• application of cyclone filtration technology;
• small overall dimensions;
• sufficiently high suction power;
• convenience of disposal of collected garbage;
• modern design image.

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

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

• low durability of the electric motor (2 - 5 years);
• static effect on the housing ;,
• extension rod telescope;
• manual regulator of force of absorption.

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 to connect to a 220 volt network.

The execution of the section with the impeller axial. Active use 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 the engine assembly directly. Fortunately, the engines of a Korean vacuum cleaner (such as VCM K70GU) are on sale.

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

The manufacturer claims a warranty of 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 to fully evaluate the functionality of the vacuum cleaner. Initially, everything looks beautiful and successful in terms of constructivism. Practice often changes beautiful pictures into a picture of the truth of reality.

The following video provides an overview of this model, performed by a consultant for a home appliance store:

The presence of a brush motor in the design, plus the presence of most of the details of the housing based on plastic, all this leads to the appearance of an electrostatic effect.

The machine body, being electrostatic, attracts dust, which accumulates in a thick layer. After cleaning, you have to carefully wipe the case with a damp rag.

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

As a result, the telescope simply does not lock in position. However, this defect is directly related to the user attitude to the telescope bar.

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

What do the owners say about the vacuum cleaner?

Reviews of the owners of the Korean vacuum cleaner are traditionally mixed. Each successful user finds the sweeper as 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 efficient collection of dust, sand, blades of grass, sawdust, etc. Given the light weight, it is convenient to transfer the equipment to different buildings of a summer cottage.

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

But most consumers respond to the technology only positively, indicating a high quality of cleaning. In particular, it conquers good dust collection efficiency and suction power.

Main competitors Samsung SC4326

Many home appliance manufacturers produce appliances with cleaning functions that can compete with the SC4326.

Therefore, in addition to Korean vacuum cleaners, it is possible to find similar designs among the goods of other companies. We offer to get acquainted with models that can compete with Samsung SC4326.

Competitor # 2 - Zanussi ZAN1920EL

The appearance of the Zanussi ZAN1920EL looks only slightly changed in shape and color. The plum color of the hull is characteristic of this sweeper. True for mass production, the color scheme is not a strict limitation. There is a Zanussi product in various colors on the market.

This model is characterized by a smaller parameter in terms of power consumption - 800 W). There are also very minor differences in the volume of the dust collector - a cyclone filter with a capacity of 1.2 liters. Meanwhile, the decrease in power characteristics did not affect the noise level in any way - this parameter is higher by as much as 3 dB (83 against 80).

The weight, however, is higher - 5.5 kg. Another obvious difference is the presence of an indicator on the machine body, which signals the user that the garbage collection is full. Also on the case of the Zanussi ZAN1920EL model is a power regulator.

Competitor # 3 - Philips FC9350 PowerPro Compact

A serious competitor for the SC4326 model is the Philips FC9350 PowerPro Compact. This vacuum cleaner, also a cyclone type, is higher in price - 6500-7500 rubles, but from the point of view of operational moments, it promises a more practical choice. Take, for example, the function of emergency shutdown of the machine in case of overheating of the electric motor.

Regarding the power consumption, Philips is more gluttonous (1800 W). At the same time, the suction power provides a maximum of 350 watts (Samsung - 360 watts). The noise level is slightly higher - 82 dB.

True, the garbage collection container is slightly larger in volume and is 1.5 liters. Also, the total weight of the model is not significantly different - 4.5 kg compared to 4.2 kg for Samsung. Network cable of the same length - 6 m.

findings

Korean-made vacuum cleaner Samsung SC4326 represents the "classic of the genre" from a series of budget products. For the end user, this choice is accompanied by an investment of small financial resources and a quite decent return in terms of organizing housekeeping.

A relatively short period of service (5 years) is clearly not a reason to think about how successful the acquisition will be. Because in the world of technology there is nothing eternal. Moreover, modern technology forces to change any equipment a year after the purchase.
