Samsung, widely known for its home appliance industry, began manufacturing vacuum cleaners with traditional models equipped with a dust bag. Now, vacuum cleaners with the Anti-Tangle turbine come in first place - more powerful, productive and efficient.
Take a closer look at units with innovative technology, but are not sure about the appropriateness of such a purchase? We offer to understand the device and the principle of operation of the turbine, learn about the pros and cons of vacuum cleaners with Anti-Tangle. The ranking of the best turbine units from Samsung will help determine the choice of a home assistant.
Benefits of Anti-Tangle Technology
When the manufacturers of vacuum cleaners switched to manufacturing models with plastic containers, the question arose: how to re-equip the design so that the power of the household cleaner does not drop when the tank is full and the cleaning time increases?
The first models were equipped with simple plastic bowls, representing a tank with a handle and consisting of two compartments with a total volume of 1 l, 1.5 l, 2 l
The process of removing debris from the tank has become simpler compared to the laborious shaking out of dust from the bag, but the main drawback remains. As soon as the garbage filled the tank, the suction power immediately fell, and with it the cleaning efficiency. The same thing happened when filters were at least half clogged.
Developers from Samsung have found a way out - they added a cyclone filter to the Anti-Tangle turbine. Thanks to the new technology, the filters in the devices do not become clogged; accordingly, the power remains during the entire cleaning process.
There was a huge advantage over the old models - cleaning became fast. It is not necessary, as before, to constantly turn off the unit to remove dust from the filters or once again to shake the tangles of hair from the container
In addition, all new models have gained an improved modification. Engineers tried to take into account all the nuances, so that the cleaning became really quick and comfortable.

Thanks to the operation of the turbine, the dirt stopped clogging the filters and began to settle on the walls of the tank, divided into compartments for large debris and dust. The tank cleaning process has become quick and convenient
The nozzle, which bears the same name - Anti-Tangle, is designed to collect hard-to-clean garbage, hair and wool. The air flow is distributed so that the debris flies into the pipe, and not wound on the brush elements
Along with the main details, the additional ones have also changed: the handle has become ergonomic, pleasant to use, with control buttons. Lightweight plastic fits well in the brush, hand load is reduced during cleaning
One nozzle can do 3 tasks at once: carefully collect dust from the textile upholstery of sofas and armchairs, look into the most inaccessible places and carefully clean products that require special treatment - for example, blinds
The container can be quickly removed and emptied.

All models with Anti-Tangle are equipped with a powerful engine that accelerates the intake air to transonic speed. The result is increased productivity and the ability to collect dust even from complex surfaces.
Also a mandatory part of models with a cylindrical dust collector is a filter HEPA 13designed for the final cleaning of air returning to the room.
The manufacturer claims that it is able to hold about 99.99% of germs and allergenic particles, therefore it is ideal for consumers who are sensitive to dust.

TOP-10 Samsung vacuum cleaners with turbine
Users immediately appreciated the benefits of the new models, so the “turbine” series received high sales figures. We present the rating of popular devices that have received consumer recognition and have collected the largest number of five-point reviews.
All devices belong to ordinary (not vertical or robots), perform the function of dry cleaning surfaces from small debris and dust that fall into a dust container with transparent walls.
Place # 1 - VC15K4130HB
Powerful, stylish, manoeuvrable vacuum cleaner for home use. Suitable for regular dust removal, and for general cleaning after parties and family holidays. Equipped with a turbo brush, a real gift for pet owners.
The body of the device is protected by an S-shaped elastic bumper, which also protects furniture from impacts. The vacuum cleaner is not the easiest, especially when the garbage container is full. But it is convenient to move it around the rooms, which is facilitated by large wheels with rubber trim.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.3 l;
- noise - 86 dB;
- body color - black, blue;
- Cons. power - 1500 W;
- suction. power - 390 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, turbo;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - rubberized;
- power cord - 7 m.
Advantages of the model: modern technical design, ease of operation and maintenance after cleaning. A 1.3-liter tank is enough to put in order the standard “kopeck piece” or even “three rubles”.
Users also note excellent suction power, a long, non-limiting cable, and easy handling of the dust bag. Cons: noise, heavy weight - difficult to carry up the stairs.
Place # 2 - VC15K4136HB
The model, according to its technical data, is the complete twin of the previous vacuum cleaner. It differs in design: the black case is diluted with a brighter orange finish on the wheels and the handle. The main difference concerns the configuration. Instead of a turbo brush, the kit contains a nozzle for cleaning parquet and similar coatings.
In general, the vacuum cleaner is as convenient and powerful as the model that took 1st place. Management is carried out from the handle, when the capacity for garbage is full, an indication is triggered. To shake out the dust, wash the tank, park the unit after work - everything is done quickly and easily.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.3 l;
- noise - 86 dB;
- body color - black / orange;
- Cons. power - 390 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, parquet;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - rubberized;
- power cord - 7 m.
Consumer qualities of a vacuum cleaner at a height: literally everything suits buyers, from the external design of the case and technical parameters to the cost.
But shortcomings were also revealed: loud noise during operation, lack of spare filters, and most importantly, the probability of a breakdown of the Samsung vacuum cleaner. The engine burns after the first year of operation. According to statistics, the engine is the weak point of the Samsung. Service helps: the motor can be ordered and installed in a repair center.
Place # 3 - VC15K4116VR
Another representative of the most successful series of "turbine" vacuum cleaners. Stylish, compact, mobile, with an easy-to-reach container and a quick cleaning process. Differs in design: the black handle and wheels are trimmed in red.
In addition to the main nozzle, the kit includes a brush for gentle cleaning of furniture and a crevice tube. The HEPA 13 filter is an excellent barrier protecting the apartment’s air by almost 100% from dust that has already entered the dust collector.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.3 l;
- noise - 86 dB;
- body color - black / red;
- Cons. power - 390 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, crevice / for furniture;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - rubberized;
- power cord - 7 m.
Users respond well to the design features: a convenient container, auto winding, large wheels. There is a power switch on the case. The maximum suction limit is 450 watts.
But many people do not like the device of the carrying handle, because when lifting it draws in air from the container. The cost of original filters seems high to many.
Place # 4 - VC18M3120
A vacuum cleaner from another series, with a higher power consumption, but with a reduced suction power. The design of the unit is different: a slightly flattened oval case has a more traditional shape, a plastic bowl with a handle is not installed on top, as in previous models, but on the side.
The advantage of the entire series of units is the increased volume of the garbage container. 2 l - this is the maximum capacity of "turbine" models. The device makes a noise louder than its counterparts, and its power cord is shorter by 1 m - 6 m with a radius of about 8 m.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 2 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black / blue;
- Cons. power - 1800 W;
- suction. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, crevice / for furniture;
- weight - 4.8 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
Users are satisfied that for a relatively small amount you can buy a really powerful unit with convenient maintenance. To get a plastic bowl and shake out the garbage in a bucket is a matter of one minute. There is no turbo brush, but if desired, it can be purchased separately.
The main minus is a loud, buzzing noise. This limits the time for cleaning: in the late evening or at "quiet time" the room cannot be cleaned. The fine-porous sponge filter that protects the motor quickly becomes clogged - you constantly have to clean it.
Place # 5 - VC18M3160
The model is presented in a practical design: the entire vacuum cleaner, including the lid, is painted black. According to technical characteristics, this is a take of the previous device. The advantages, respectively, are the same: good power, long range.
The kit includes a turbo brush, which does not have to be additionally bought if there are fluffy pets in the house. A turbo brush removes wool from fabric surfaces better than usual, although hair and threads are still wound on a roller and must be removed with scissors.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 2 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black;
- Cons. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, turbo;
- weight - 4.8 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
Buyers like compactness, power, a capacious bowl, which gets in one motion. The tube has a well-thought-out handle located at a convenient angle. Cons: loud noise during operation, no crevice brush, filters quickly clog, especially motor filters.
Place # 6 - VC18M31A0
The model, corresponding in characteristics to the previous two, completely repeats their design. The design is slightly changed: the cover with the handle is painted pink. If you need thorough cleaning of carpets, sofas, armchairs from wool, you will have to additionally buy a turbo brush.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.5 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black / pink;
- Cons. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, slotted, parquet;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
The positive aspects of the device, noted by users: compactness, relatively light weight, comfortable power. There is enough cord to "peek" into all corners in a small apartment. Quickly and conveniently, a voluminous dust collector is removed, which can be shaken out of the garbage without getting your hands dirty.
The downside is the relatively heavy tube coupled with the main brush. The large weight of the pipe is explained by the material of manufacture - stainless steel. The crevice nozzle has small dimensions - it takes a long time to vacuum the baseboards.
Place # 7 - VC18M2110
The vacuum cleaner differs from the previous one only in the color of the cover - it is not pink, but bright blue. The power regulator is located on the top panel of the case, the parameters change by smoothly turning the switch. One and a half liter cup is easily reached by the handle, if necessary, it can be washed.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.5 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black / blue;
- Cons. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, slotted, parquet;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
Advantages of the device: good suction capacity, light weight, comfortable maintenance. All accessories are made of wear-resistant materials, over time they retain their appearance.
The main disadvantage is the rapid pollution of the filters. If you have a long cleaning, take the time to clean the filter-sponge, which is tightly covered with a layer of dust, hair, wool. From time to time it needs to be washed.
Place # 8 - VC21K5136
Representative of the most powerful series: consumption parameters - 2100 watts, rated suction power - 440 watts. In practice, it looks like this: small debris and dust at a distance of 20-30 cm from the nozzle are sucked into the pipe. This is convenient when you need to clean under furniture, in corners, on cabinets.
This model is quieter than the previous ones, but not by much. A 2-liter dust collector allows you to “turn around” over a large area, and you do not have to release it from the garbage every 5 minutes. Turbo brush for thorough cleaning of textiles - available.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 2 l;
- noise - 84 dB;
- body color - black / blue;
- Cons. power - 2100 W;
- suction. power - 440 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, turbo;
- weight - 5.5 kg;
- wheels - rubberized;
- power cord - 7 m.
Users are grateful for the design, construction in general, and individual accessories in particular. Like a long cord, nozzles, "soft ride" on rubberized wheels. But there are drawbacks: increased, compared with previous options, weight; fast filter clogging (at a high replacement price), noise.
Place # 9 - VC18M3140
Another device from the VC3100K series, with a large capacity under the trash and a maximum set of nozzles. The traditional design, the unusual blue-green shade of the lid, confident absorption, low weight - a suitable model for home use.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 2 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black / green;
- Cons. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, slotted, parquet;
- weight - 4.8 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
Users like the appearance and technical stuffing. The cord is not the largest, but it is enough to clean even large 25-meter rooms. A large tank is another indisputable plus.
The downsides are the same: quick clogging of the sponge filter and subsequent reduction in power. The noise insulation of the engine is insufficient, so the vacuum cleaner is humming loudly during operation.
Place # 10 - VC18M21A0
Representative of the most economical VC2100K series. It is easy to recognize it by the burgundy color lid. Not as powerful as alternatives from the more “advanced” series, but there is enough absorption to clean medium-length carpets. With a set of nozzles, you can tidy up the floor and “knock out” dust from the soft seats of chairs, armchairs and sofas.
Technical specifications:
- container capacity - 1.5 l;
- noise - 87 dB;
- body color - black / red;
- Cons. power - 380 W;
- nozzles - 2-in-1, slotted, parquet;
- weight - 4.6 kg;
- wheels - plastic;
- power cord - 6 m.
Consumers respond well to the appearance and performance of the main function, as well as the high suction power - but only until the clogging of the motor filter.
If we summarize the opinions of users about units with a turbine, then we can distinguish good power, compact, easy to move design, convenient operation.
Weaknesses: motor protection is not thought out - when the sponge filter becomes clogged, the vacuum cleaner loses power, and there are also cases of a quick motor failure. Therefore, when buying Samsung, you first need to make sure that you have spare parts and a service center.
What to consider before buying?
Anti-Tangle turbines are equipped with models from 4 series: Vc 2100, 3100, 4100 and 5100. They have similar features, but if you want, you can find a lot of differences that relate to both design and technical content.
Before purchasing a vacuum cleaner, we recommend that you carefully study the capabilities and characteristics of the appliances to make the cleaning process as comfortable as possible. The main differences relate to the following parameters:

Convenient on / off, power switching make the cleaning process faster. The buttons and switches on the 5100 series are on the handle, 2100 on the case, and the 3100/4100 series have models with both adjustment methods
The suction power, which Samsung does not hide, unlike some brands, is directly responsible for the quality of cleaning. For devices of the 5100 series - 440 W, 4100 - 390 W, 3100/2100 - 380 W. I must say that 380 W is enough for high-quality cleaning
For household vacuum cleaners, the volume of the dust container in Samsung can be called average. The most capacious bowls for devices from the 5100 and 3100 series are 2 liters, a little less for the 2100 - 1.5 liters, and for the 4100 series - the minimum volume is only 1.3 liters
Almost all new Samsung vacuum cleaners are equipped with 3 different filters: cyclone, sponge motor and fine cleaning. The Anti-Tangle series is just the last one: the 4100/5100 has the latest and best HEPA 13 modification, the 2100/3100 has the EPA
The model is located on the handle or on the body
Medium to maximum suction power
The average capacity of the dust container
The main difference in the filtration system
Other technical characteristics are somehow connected with the listed ones. For example, the series differ in suction power, therefore, their power consumption is different. Noisiness is also different, but it can be noted that quiet vacuum cleaners cannot be found among Samsung.
For those who are looking for units with a quiet progress, we recommend that you look at the models from this rating.
If versatility is important, check the equipment. The 2-in-1 brush in the first series turned into 3-in-1 in the latter.
If the model you like does not have a turbo brush, it can be purchased separately - all accessories have identical connections, suitable in diameter
Devices with Anti-Tangle have two types of design:
- 5100/4100 series - These are devices with a cylindrical tank, on large wheels;
- 2100-3100 series - traditional floor models with a container-bowl.
All models are presented in 2-4 color options, and along with practical black units there are devices in bright colors: blue, pink, red.
