Verdict

The SAMBA NEWLUX is a versatile 2-in-1 upright and handheld stick vacuum cleaner featuring an 800W motor that delivers a strong suction power of 16.5 kPa. It is equipped with a triple-phase filtration setup including a washable HEPA filter, a 0.8-litre bagless dust container with a one-touch emptying system, a 180-degree flexible motorized brush head with integrated front LED lights, and a 4.5-metre power cable giving it an overall operating radius of over 5 metres. Key pros include its lightweight 1.8 kg build, direct and continuous corded power that eliminates battery recharging wait times, excellent fine dust visibility via LEDs, and a comprehensive filtration system ideal for allergy sufferers. However, main cons include its corded restriction which limits untethered movement, a moderately loud noise level of up to 72 decibels, and its reliance on a manual cord management system.
