Performance Tests
We were able to perform 4 different performance tests on the Samsung Jet 90, Dyson V11, and Dyson V10 these included:
- Cleaning Test
- Run Time Test
- Noise Test
- Usability Test
While we did not test the Jet 75 it is effectively identical to the Jet 90. They are both identical in terms of:
- 60 minute run time
- 200 AW of suction
- 0.8L dust bin capacity
- HEPA filtration system
The main difference between the two models are the included attachments and base.
Additionally, we were able to perform an additional 2 tests on the Dyson V11 and V10. These include:
- Long hair test
- Pet fur test
Cleaning Test
Our tests are designed to measure the full range of the vacuums’ cleaning performance. We perform a 12 debris tests, with 3 different floor types and 4 different debris types.
The following scores are a reflection of the total percentage of debris removed during our tests by weight.
Floor Type | Samsung Jet 90 / 75 | Dyson V11 | Dyson V10 |
---|---|---|---|
Hardwood | 100% | 99% | 99% |
Low Pile Carpet | 97% | 100% | 99% |
High Pile Carpet | 97% | 100% | 100% |
We tested the vacuums on engineered hardwoods, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet. The scores above are the average score across all debris types.
Overall Cleaning Scores

As stated previously, because the Jet 90 and Jet 75 are functionally identical, we only tested the Jet 90.
The Jet 90 performed excellent during our testing. It successfully removed 97-100% of all debris types.
When we started the tests on hardwood floors, the Jet 90 clogged while removing the cereal. However, we then changed the suction mode to max, and the issue was resolved.
Beyond that, the only other notable point of struggle was on low pile carpet. The Jet 90 only removed 88% of the sugar. This is a common issue among stick vacuums, but it is something to keep in mind.
Overall, the Samsung Jet 90 performed well. It cleans well in most situations, and when more suction was needed it was able to provide it.
Dyson V11 Cleaning Performance
Overall

As you can see from the percentages above, the Dyson V11 performed fantastic in our cleaning tests. It had a percentile range of 99-100% across all floor and debris types.
The V11 didn’t struggle with any clogging issues, and the Torque Drive nozzle handled all floor types well. Some versions of the V11 also include a soft brush that is designed for hardwood floors, but we performed our tests with the Torque Drive with no problems.

The Dyson V10 did an excellent job during our cleaning tests. It had a cleaning range of 99-100% across all three floor types.
When shooting our review video, we noticed that when quickly vacuuming cereal on hardwood floor, it would occasionally clog. We were not able to replicate this consistently but we recommend taking your time cleaning up larger debris with the V10.
Otherwise, the V10 performed nearly perfectly and was able to successfully remove the vast majority of debris.
Run Time Test
The run time for each vacuum can vary depending on the suction mode. All of the vacuums have 3 power modes. Samsung calls their modes low, medium, and max. While Dyson calls it eco, auto, and boost.
Suction Mode | Jet 90 / 75 run time | V11 run time | V10 run time |
---|---|---|---|
Low | 43:30 mins. | 84:45 mins. | 49:40 mins. |
Normal | 24:00 mins. | 47:40 mins. | 26:50 mins. |
Max | 10:00 mins. | 07:30 mins. | 05:30 mins. |
Max. Run Time:* | 60 mins. | 60 mins. | 60 mins |
*This max. time is the number listed by the manufacturer.
All of these tests were run with one battery and the standard nozzle attachment. Because the Jet 90 and Jet 75 are functionally identical, we expect the same run times from the Jet 75.
All that being said, the Dyson V11 showed the longest run time of the vacuums. The Dyson V11 has run time range of 7-85 minutes. This makes it a great choice for long cleaning sessions.
However, if you make sure to charge the vacuum between use, each of these vacuums would have enough power to finish the job.
Noise Test
We also test how loud the different vacuums are while running. We use a noise meter from about 3′ feet away to measure the generated noise.
Suction Mode | Jet 90 / 75 | V11 | V10 |
---|---|---|---|
Low | 69 dB | 70 dB | 75 dB |
Normal | 72 dB | 75 dB | 77 dB |
Max | 74 dB | 78 dB | 80 dB |
While this is a minor thing overall, loud noises can be disruptive to conversations or other activities around the house. The Samsung Jet 90 was the quietest vacuum of the group overall with a range of 69-74 dB. We would expect similar levels from the Jet 75.
For reference, the Jet 90 would generate noise similar to a dishwasher or a shower.
On the other hand The Dyson vacuums were slightly louder, but not by much. Generally, I would expect similar levels of noise generated by the different vacuums.
Common noise levels:
- 20 dB – rustling leaves
- 30 dB – whisper
- 40 dB – quiet library, babbling brook
- 50 dB – refrigerator, moderate rainfall
- 60 dB – normal conversation, dishwashers
- 70 dB – traffic, showers
- 80 dB – alarm clock, telephone dial tone
Usability Test
Usability between the different vacuums was similar. They are lightweight and designed to be maneuverable and adjustable. Setting up each of these vacuums was simple, which required charging the battery and attaching the required cleaning tools.
All vacuums can be put in handheld mode and are compatible with all included accessories. Whether in stick mode or handheld mode, all the vacuums we tested were easy to manage and handle. They are equipped to make tight turns and lie close to the ground to reach under low furniture.
While they are similar in function, the different vacuums have some key differences that affect usability.
Samsung Jet 90 Usability
Here are some notable features of the Jet 90:
- Telescoping Wand
- Free-standing base
- Accessories
The Jet 90 has a telescoping wand that can be adjusted to fix the length of the job. This is a great addition as it helps you get the exact length you need to reach a tight spot.
Additionally, the Jet 90 is the only vacuum that includes a free-standing charging base. It offers the ability to adjust the charging location of the vacuum on the fly. The base also stores accessories and charge an additional battery simultaneously.
Some of the unique accessories to the Jet 90 are the Flexible tool, which adds some extra maneuverability, and the soft brush tool which is great for hardwood floor.
Samsung Jet 75 Usability
In all other features the Jet 75 is similar to the Jet 90, however, it does not include the telescoping wand or free-standing base. Instead, it has the standard extension wand and a wall mount to charge the vacuum. The wall mount can still store accessories, but only charges one battery at a time.
The Jet 75 also includes the Flexible tool and soft brush tool showcasing the accessories Samsun chose to include with their vacuums.
Dyson V11 Usability
The Dyson vacuums also have their set of unique features that benefit their overall usability. The Dyson V11 includes these unique features:
- Dust bin
- Automatic suction adjustment
- Accessories
Emptying the 4 different vacuums is simple, however, we found the Dyson “point-and-shoot” style to be a little more intuitive. It makes emptying the dust bin a simple and quick process, that way you can continue vacuuming sooner.
The V11 also includes floor sensor technology that automatically adjusts the suction of the vacuum depending on the floor type. This allows you to clean without worrying about power modes.
The vacuum also comes with a stubborn dirt brush which is great for cleaning dirt off of hard surfaces. Additionally, Dyson included the soft dusting brush which is a good attachment for handling furniture.
Dyson V10 Usability
The Dyson V10 is the older Dyson model and still includes a lot of the features the V11 has. It has the same “point-and-shoot” style of dust bin, and includes a lot of the same accessories except the stubborn dirt brush.
Additionally, the V10 does not include the automatic suction adjustment, but it does includes the soft dusting brush.
Long Hair Test
Both the Dyson V11 and V10 managed long hair well during our tests. For each test we used the vacuum on the highest suction setting with the High Torque head.

Both Dyson vacuums were able to successfully remove 100% of the long hair from the floor. However both vacuums did have some hair tangled in the brushroll after cleaning.

While the amount of long hair was minimal, it is important to note if you are often cleaning up long strands of hair. While there wasn’t a huge difference between the two, I did notice the V10 had less strands tangled in the brushroll than the V11.
Pet Hair Test
To test the vacuums ability to manage pet fur, we lay pet fur out on high pile carpet and run the vacuum over it, checking to see how much it picks up or if it gets tangled.
With this test we used the highest suction mode available and the standard cleaning nozzle. In Dyson’s case this is the High Torque head.

Both vacuums did an excellent job at removing the pet floor and not allowing it to get tangled in the brushroll. The High Torque head was able to successfully agitate the carpet in order to clean up all the pet fur.
Design
All 4 vacuums have similar features between their design. They all have:
- Multi-floor cleaning head
- Click-in cleaning tools
- Extension Wand
- In-hand dust bin
- 3 suction levels
- Washable filter
- Great cleaning performance
However, Samsung’s Jet series does differ from Dyson’s V vacuums in various ways.
Here are the key differences between the models:
- Telescoping Wand
- Dust bin
- Controls
- Display
#1. Telescoping Wand
The Samsung Jet 90 includes a telescoping wand that is a great tool to vary the length. The Jet 75, V11, and V10 have a standard extension wand, but the Jet 90 is the only vacuum in this comparison with the variable length.
#2. Dust bin
While the overall size and shape of the dust bin is generally the same, the Dyson vacuums include a unique way to empty the dust bin. Both the Dyson V11 and V10 include the “point-and-shoot” style dust bin, which is easy to empty.
In comparison, emptying the Samsung dust bins takes a little more time and involves more steps that I would like to see.
#3. Controls
What type of controls you prefer is a matter of preference. Dyson uses a trigger style on and off switch. To start cleaning with the V11 or V10 you simply squeeze the trigger turn it on. The Dyson V11 has a button on the top to switch modes, and the V10 has a switch on the front to toggle.
Samsung uses buttons to control the vacuum . There is a set of buttons to toggle on and off the Jet 90 and Jet 75, as well as buttons to switch between modes.
Controls are a matter of preference. Some may prefer Samsung’s single button to turn the vacuum on and off as needed. Other’s may want the vacuum only to be on while their holding it, and would want a trigger style control like Dyson’s.
If you are interested, many 3rd parties offer a compatible Dyson Trigger lock. This trigger lock allows you to not have to hold the trigger while cleaning.
#4. Display
The V11, Jet 90, and Jet 75 vacuums all include digital displays to give you more information about the device. The V10 is the only vacuum in this comparison that forgoes the digital display, and just contains a battery indicator light.
While the rest of the vacuums include a display, the V11’s is the most robust of the 3. It shows what mode the device is running is as well as has a running countdown showing the remaining run time of the vacuum.
Size & Dimensions
Samsung Jet 90
- Length: 44.8″
- Width: 8.3″
- Depth: 9.9″
- Weight: 6.2 lbs.
Samsung Jet 75
- Length: 44.8″
- Width: 8.3″
- Depth: 9.9″
- Weight: 6.2 lbs.
Dyson V11
- Length: 50.6″
- Width: 9.8″
- Depth: 10.3″
- Weight: 6.7 lbs.
Dyson V10
- Length: 49.2″
- Width: 9.8″
- Depth: 10.3″
- Weight: 5.9 lbs.
The 4 different vacuums are all of a similar shape, although, the Dyson vacuums are notably taller. This extra length can make reaching places easier.
The Samsung Jet 90 includes the telescoping wand which can expand or contract as needed. However, taller people may find the Dyson more comfortable with their height.
Otherwise, their size and shape are quite similar, which makes handling the different vacuums substantially the same.
Accessories & Parts
The 4 different vacuums all include a standard set of tools and attachments to use the vacuum. There are some differences between the brands and models of the stick vacuums.
Below is a comprehensive chart showcasing the accessories included with each vacuum.

Where are the differences?
The previous table gives a good picture of what is included with each vacuum.
But what are the big differences? There are a few key accessories that we have highlighted below.
Soft Brush Tool: The Soft Brush tool that comes with the Jet 90 and Jet 75 are a great option to handle hardwood floors. If you want the soft roller brush on the V11 or V10 you’ll have to get the more expensive Absolute version. Or buy a standalone soft brush.
Stubborn dirt brush: Dyson’s V11 is the only vacuum that includes the stubborn dirt brush. The bristles are capable of managing dirt on hard surfaces.
WINNER: V11
Telescoping Wand: While all 4 vacuums have an extension wand, the Jet 90 is the only vacuum to add the variable telescoping wand. This allows it to expand and retract as needed.
WINNER: Jet 90
Charging Base: The Jet 90 is the only vacuum that includes a free-standing base. How you store your vacuum is mostly a matter of preference, however, the Jet 90’s base is capable of charging 2 batteries at once, which adds additional functionality.
WINNER: Jet 90

The same Jet 90 model is used with every model, so performance functionality is the same. However, the different versions include additional accessories depending on which you choose.
The Jet 90 with Clean Station, includes an additional device that can empty the dust bin of the vacuum for you. While the Jet 90 with Spinning Sweeper Brush adds mop functionality to the vacuum and spinning microfiber dry pads.
Samsung Jet 75 vs. with Clean Station vs. with Spinning Sweeper Brush
Just like the Jet 90, the Jet 75 has a similar set of models to choose from that have similar performance and accessories.

The vacuum in each version is the exact same, just like the Jet 90. However, the differences are with the included accessories.
Samsung includes an auto empty device with the Jet 75 with Clean Station. This reduces the amount of overall maintenance needed for the vacuum, just like the Jet 90 version. The Jet 75 with Spinning Sweeper brush includes dual purposed spinning brush tool that can use mop heads or microfiber dry pads.
Dyson V11 Torque Drive vs. Animal vs. Outsize vs. Absolute

Which vacuum is best?
All 4 vacuums are lightweight, high-end vacuums with a variety of included tools and accessories.
Should you buy the Samsung Jet 90?
I would recommend the Samsung Jet 90 to people who:
- Unique accessories & good performance: The Jet 90 uniquely includes the telescoping wand and free-standing base. These accessories are a great way to improve your overall cleaning experience while still having excellent performance overall.

Should you buy the Samsung Jet 75?
I would recommend the Samsung Jet 75 to people who:
- Performance on a Budget: The Jet 75 is functionally identical to the Jet 90, which means it has the same cleaning performance as the newer model at a cheaper price. If you are looking for a high-end stick vacuum on a budget, this older model will do a great job.
Click here to check out the Samsung Jet 75 price.
Should you buy the Dyson V11?
I would recommend the Dyson V11 to people who:
- Excellent automatic performance: The V11 had a cleaning range in the 99-100% removal. The 185AW of suction does a great job at managing a variety of debris types. With the automatic suction adjustment, you never need to worry about which floor type you are on as the vacuum will change to the best setting for the job.
Click here to check out the Dyson V11 price.
Should you buy the Dyson V10?
I would recommend the Dyson V10 to people who:
- Cheaper Dyson cleaning performance: Dyson’s stick vacuum performance has continuously impressed us as we have tested each model and the V10 is no different. As it is an older model it comes at a cheaper price. So if you want Dyson’s cleaning but don’t want to spend as much, the V10 is a great choice.
