The pipe that sucks up debris is a composite pipe. Comes with two brushes: for floor and carpet.
The device weighs 4.3 kg. Vacuum cleaner width - 24 cm, depth - 40 cm, height - 28 cm.
Functionality
The described vacuum cleaner, which is a device for cleaning dust and small debris, cannot be called multifunctional. The suction power is good. This indicator is at an average level, but for a budget option it is quite a distinctive plus.
On the body of the device there are only two buttons that are responsible for turning the unit on and off. No indicators, no display. To reduce power, you can slightly open the valve on the hose.
One of the included brushes is suitable for both carpets and smooth floors. However, buyers complain that the bristles are not enough to collect all the hair and wool, you have to try hard. The second brush does its job perfectly, thanks to it you can vacuum behind a cupboard or refrigerator.
Package
Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner, reviews of whichpresented below, has a modest package. However, this is quite expected, given the low cost of the device. What does the manufacturer put in the box besides the vacuum cleaner itself?
Available:
- Three filters: pre-motor, motor and output.
- Instruction.
- Hose.
- Dust bin (plastic, looks like a container).
- Two brushes: the main one for carpets and floors, an additional one for collecting dust in hard-to-reach places.
- A pipe that is designed for suction.
Maintenance
The Samsung SC4520, priced between $100-110, is pretty straightforward when it comes to maintenance. In order to wash the parts, it is necessary to disassemble the device. To do this is easy enough. The dust collector is pulled out by means of the handle. Moreover, it should be noted that when it is removed, the garbage does not fall out from all sides - it is rammed along the walls. Under the container you can find two filters: pre-motor and motor. The output is located on the back side behind the compartment. Disassembly of the Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner in a larger version (before the engine) is described below.
The dust container can be easily washed if it is heavily soiled. The same is done with the pre-motor filter. Others cannot be washed. But before loading back into the vacuum cleaner, all parts must be dried.
Difficulties in maintaining the device are that the dust container is designed for only 1.3 liters, so you will have to clean it every time after cleaning. If this is not done often, the device will not perform well. Need to be cleanedalso brushes.
Cleaning quality
Each filter for the Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner plays a huge role in the operation of the device. They function perfectly: direct duties, according to the owners of such a unit, the equipment performs well.
Due to the strong power, the vacuum cleaner easily draws in all the debris. It is not uncommon for consumers to experience that the brush "sticks" to the carpet and is difficult to move. It is best to purchase an additional tool with a good pile, because the "native" sometimes does not cope with the removal of hair and wool from carpets, especially from carpet.
Design and device of the vacuum cleaner
Design is the strongest point of this vacuum cleaner. The device weighs only 4, 3 kg. The case is made of plastic, which is somewhat of an advantage, since fingerprints do not appear. On the panel you can see a black coating on which the name of the manufacturer flaunts and the maximum power is indicated. The power button is easy to find at the junction with the back wall. In the center of the black panel is a button for winding the cord. There is a handle on a plastic container, but it is impossible to carry the Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner (reviews about the device are direct confirmation of this).
The device is equipped with three wheels. Thanks to them, the unit has good maneuverability and, judging by the reviews, rarely falls on its side when driving. Keep in mind that the wheels are plastic, not rubber.
The weak points of the vacuum cleaner can be called a hose and a pipe. The latter is a constructiontwo small tubes inserted one into the other. If we talk about telescopic options that are installed on all more expensive models, then in this case this is a big flaw. The consumer will no longer adjust the pipe to fit his height. The hose is too soft, often kinks, blocking the airflow.
You can store the unit both assembled and disassembled. There are two colors available in stores: the Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner is white and blue.
Features
Although the vacuum cleaner performs its duties at an average level, does not have an abundance of brushes in the kit, and is also not able to “boast” of functionality, it is still one of the best in its price category. Compact, lightweight, with a convenient dust collector and suction power, with a long cord. On average, the device consumes about 1600 W, the noise reaches 82 dB.

Reviews
Housewives talk about the strong power of the device. Many agree that the carpet literally "sticks" to the brush. This is definitely a plus. In the chamber, the dust is pressed, so that it does not settle on the walls. Due to this technology, it is easier to clean the container from garbage. To wash the camera and other compartments, it will be enough to use running water, no special tools are needed.
Buyers note the excellent assembly, nice appearance, compact size of the equipment. According to some, the hose is slightly clumsy, which causes little inconvenience. But you can get used to it.
Consumers report that the Samsung SC4520 vacuum cleaner is very noisy, but others who have bought this device, on the contrary, talk about the standard sound level. “It is not louder than any equipment of this class,” such statements can often be found on the forums. The disadvantages of buyers include the lack of a power regulator. But you can control the flow force using a special hole on the handle. It looks like a regular valve, which was previously installed on older vacuum cleaners. It is he who is responsible for adjusting the air flow. A little flimsy, according to many, the hose mount looks.
Result
In general, the vacuum cleaner is good enough for its price category. It should be noted ease of use, strong power of work. The design is minimalistic, there are no unnecessary details. However, there are no those who would not interfere either. This is a lever for adjusting the suction power. However, for those people who just need a quick vacuum and leave the appliance for a week, it's great.
