What Exactly Are Air Watts in Vacuums?.

Air watts (AW) is a way to measure the suction power (or output) of a vacuum cleaner.. We’ll get into the formula for Air Watts later, but the calculation involves both.When you turn the vacuum on it will start up in medium power, which we think is a good combo for battery life and cleaning performance.. Samsung says it’ll take 3.5 hours to fully charge a battery, but it can be up to an hour less than this.

This is quicker than many cordless vacuums, despite the relatively long run-time..If you need more battery run-time, there’s the option of buying additional batteries – but they’re expensive.
