Yet the partnership between Bissell and Samsung didn't end until 2015. buster1849 says the DigiPro was axed around 2010, yet for fantomlightning to find one of the last DigiPros at Bed Bath & Beyond back in 2015, five years after the machine was "dumped." Isn't that all a coincidence?
I don't know about that, but by 2010 Samsung had stopped selling bagged canister vacuums and there were no more new parts for them available. Samsung used to make vacuums for the Singer, Black & Decker, Bissell and other brands like Nilfisk plus their own excellent Samsung brand canisters but it all seemed to end around 2010.
Maybe buster1849 was right, the DigiPro was dumped by 2010, yet the Samsung-Bissell alliance didn't end until 2015.
Weren't they still collaborating on some uprights for Bissell? I just know the Samsung canisters including the Quiet Jet and Digimax along with the Bissell Digipro all disappeared about the same time right around 2010. After that, no parts, not attachments, not even brush rolls.
I know bags are still available.
In the US you can only buy paper bags and they are horrible. Hibbert International in Calgary sells some nice synthetic bags under the Superior brand name. Those are what I use.
Very regional I suspect. Samsungs seemed to be a lot more popular in Canada than in the US. Hibbert and Superior Vacuums seem to stock a lot more stuff for Samsungs than you ever saw in the US. My Samsung Digimax came from Canada. I don't think that model was ever sold in the US though we got its Bissell branded twin the Digipro. Samsungs were also popular in eastern Europe and Russia. The other place I can find good synthetic bags, genuine Samsung bags btw, for them is Lithuania. The only repair video I could find for a Digimax was from Russia. There is a technique for popping off the two pedals on the rear to access the screws underneath without breaking anything and this Russia video showed that technique. Everything else was straight forward.
