Samsung Jet vacuum gets highest dust retention rating

Samsung Electronics said Monday that its cordless vacuum cleaner brand “Samsung Jet” received the highest rating for its dust retaining capability from a German certificate authority.

Schubert Leiter Geratesicherheit (SLG) rated five stars for the vacuum cleaner, which comes with a five-layer HEPA filter to suck in 99.9 percent of fine dust, the electronics company said.

SLG is a test institute that rates and certifies electronics and medical products out on the market.

The vacuum cleaner, which features 200 watts of suction power, also received “Allergy UK” certification from the British Allergy Foundation for passing the test on its emission levels for allergic substances, Samsung said.
