Samsung has moved away from the production of washing vacuum cleaners and has begun developing a promising line of compact robots. But models for regular dry cleaning remain popular among the population, and devices with a dust container are more in demand than with a bag.
Samsung SC 18M2150SG miniature vacuum cleaner is a medium power model designed for home use. The SC series is less and less found on sale, it was replaced by the VC, but in terms of characteristics and appearance, the new vacuum cleaners practically do not differ from the models of 3 years ago.
Advantages
- Price Affordability
- Compact dimensions and maneuverability
- Ergonomic suction pipe handle

- No need to change bags
disadvantages

We offer you to study in detail the operating parameters of the device, evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, and also learn the features of operation. Comparison with your nearest competitors will help you decide on the purchase of a home assistant.
Design and construction features
The SC 18M2150 model is similar in function and parameters to other Samsung brand vacuum cleaners designed for dry cleaning of home premises. If you tidy up the rooms and furniture of the standard "kopeck piece" 1-2 times a week, then a 1.5 liter tank is enough for several cleanings.
The device has the usual construction for a floor-mounted vacuum cleaner: a robust housing with a motor block and an easy-to-reach container moves on three wheels - two large side wheels and one small guide
The case is compact, oval, has no protrusions. The color of the model is dark gray, as you can guess from the last letters of the marking. In the same series, vacuum cleaners of red and burgundy shades were released.
The wheels, pipe, brushes are made of black plastic, the flexible hose is of a light gray color. In general, the design is practical, appreciated by customers, so modernized devices of the next generation adopted it.
The power button is located on the top panel. Its location, large size and protruding shape indicate that it is not necessary to bend to turn on the vacuum cleaner - just press the button with your foot.
Above is the automatic winding lever of the electric cord. A convenient device that adjusts the length of the cable during the cleaning process and “hides” it for a period of inactivity is absent, for example, in many models of the Karcher brand
There are special grooves for installing the brush in two places: for horizontal parking - at the rear, for vertical parking - from the bottom of the case.
The suction pipe has an ergonomic handle connected to the hose by a rotary mechanism. It is easier to act when you need to reach out far ahead, vacuum under furniture or walk along dusty walls.
Initial equipment
The set of nozzles offered in the kit together with the vacuum cleaner does not require additional purchase of accessories, as there are 4 most necessary brushes:
- main floor / carpet;
- crevice for processing plinths and joints;
- small for polished and smooth hard surfaces;
- turbo for collecting thread, wool and hair.
The new device is equipped with two filters and a container for collecting dust and debris. All parts are made of safe materials and are reusable, suitable for frequent washing.

Thanks to the small wheels located on the sides and rounded edges, the brush moves smoothly on the floor, does not scratch the laminate and parquet, does not cling to the pile
Cleaning in turbo mode can be useful not only for owners of furry pets. Hard bristles capture hair and threads stuck in carpets well
Directly below the plastic transparent container is a filter that traps the smallest particles of dust. You have to clean it often, but the process takes a little time.
So that the sponge filter can be conveniently installed in its intended place, and then removed for washing, it is inserted into a special container with a handle
In the back of the vacuum cleaner, under the grill cover, is the HEPA filter. It is intended for air purification from bacteria, allergens and the smallest pollution
To remove the filter for replacement or flushing, gently squeeze the latch holding the cover and remove the entire unit
After several washes, the filter becomes unusable. Replacement can be purchased at a service center or in an online store: the original - about 2000 rubles, analogue - from 400 rubles.
The cyclone filter is designed in such a way that garbage is divided into fractions: large and lumps of hair are collected in the central compartment, and fine dust is scattered along the walls of a large section

Samsung is famous for the fact that it supplies parts for its equipment in full. Even if the model has long been discontinued, in warehouses you can find new filters, brushes, engines.
But it should be remembered that original parts are 3-5 times more expensive than analog ones. It makes no sense to buy a Samsung brand spare part for the old model, it is better to purchase an inexpensive alternative.
Video review from the seller of vacuum cleaners:
Technical Overview
The SC 18M2150 model is not the most powerful, now Samsung produces vacuum cleaners on average 2000-2200 W, but there are also 1500 W models. However, for cleaning, the suction capacity of devices, which is always at a height of Samsung brand at 380-390 W on average, is much more important.
A unique development of Samsung engineers is the Anti-Tangle technology, which prevents churning of debris into balls and thereby increases the operating time and productivity of the device
Testing shows that the model has enough power to thoroughly clean all corners, remove wool from a carpet with a low and dense pile, and thoroughly vacuum the mattress. It is not recommended to tidy up the computer keyboard - you will have to get the keys out of the container.
Features of SC 18M2150:
- Cons. power - 1800 W;
- noise - 87 dB;
- suction power. - 380 W;
- container - 1.5 l;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- power cord - 6 m;
- complete set - 4 nozzles, washable filters.
If there are small children in the house, it’s better not to tidy up at “quiet hour” - the vacuum cleaner makes a fairly loud noise - 87 dB. Usually, such a “howl” of a turbine during the operation of a vacuum cleaner blocks the doorphone signal and a phone call.
The dimensions of the device are relatively small - this is one of the most compact Samsung models. Convenient design and low weight allow even children to operate the device
A six-meter cord is enough to tidy up a large room without additional switching. If we take into account the length of the hose and the holder pipe, then the radius of action is about 9 m.
User reviews about the device
Before purchasing the equipment, it will not be superfluous to analyze the reviews of the owners of vacuum cleaners who have been actively using them for more than a year.
The opinion of buyers is formed taking into account important criteria:
- ease of use and maintenance;
- quality of cleaning;
- performance functions.
There are a lot of positive reviews. Many people note a good power of the device, respectively, and a good quality of cleaning. Thanks to a set of brushes, you can collect dust from any surface, hard and soft.
The garbage container is not satisfactory either: it is easy to remove and wash, and over time it does not change the appearance, it remains the same transparent.
If necessary, the vacuum cleaner itself is easily disassembled. All removable parts can be washed in soapy water, then in running water and dried. Every time you do not need to wash the dust bag
The positive aspects also include a convenient compact design, low weight, attractive cost, the ability to replace parts, quick service in service centers.
But there are also negative sides, because of which some buyers prefer models from other manufacturers. For example, the noise of the device, which can interfere not only with family members, but also with neighbors, if the house has good audibility.
If the loud buzz of a running unit is undesirable, it is better to buy a silent vacuum cleaner. You will find a description of the best models of delicately sounding technology in our article.
Filters clog quickly and require frequent flushing. Because of this, the sponge wears out quickly, you have to buy a new part - and this is an additional cost for maintenance
Many do not like the lack of additional options - power adjustment, indication of the filling of the garbage container. During operation, the device heats up quickly and auto-shutdown occurs. To continue cleaning, it is necessary to wait for the engine to cool completely.

Long range | Loud noise |
In general, Samsung SC 18M2150SG is a functional device with a successful design that performs its tasks. But it is too loud and turned off at the most inopportune moment, therefore, it deserves a user rating of 3.7 points.
Model through the eyes of the buyer:
Alternative models of popular brands

The disadvantages are the dubious build quality - the power button may fail or the latch may break. Some flaws in the assembly can be modified independently, for example, tighten the screws to fix the parts.
Pet owners should be aware that the model has a too soft brush that can barely pick up wool from carpets. This issue is solved by purchasing a stiffer brush from another model - as a rule, they are compatible in diameter.

Competitor # 2 - REDMOND RV-C337

A beautiful vacuum cleaner with a neat case and medium power. Unlike previous models, it has niches directly in the housing for storing nozzles. The cyclone filter works without a drop in power, garbage is compacted in compartments.
