Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot AI+

We have a Samsung smart home — Family Hub fridge, SmartThings hub, the whole setup. The Jet Bot AI+ fits perfectly. Setting up automations was straightforward and it works flawlessly with our other devices. The AI obstacle recognition is impressive; it correctly navigated around our kids' toys, power cords, and even a pair of shoes. The cleaning is good but not class-leading on suction. For the ecosystem integration and design, we'd buy it again.

I've tested seven robot vacuums in the past two years and the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a frustrating product. The technology is genuinely impressive — the AI can tell the difference between a sock and a power cord. But when it comes to actually vacuuming, a $300 Roborock leaves it in the dust (pun intended). After three months I ended up returning it and buying a Roborock Q8 for $450 less. The Samsung is a tech showcase that happens to vacuum, not a vacuum first.

The concept of having your robot vacuum dock also charge your handheld vacuum is genuinely clever and I use both regularly now. I didn't own a Samsung handheld when I bought this, so I had to purchase one separately — that was a surprise cost. The robot keeps the floors clean on a schedule and the handheld is always ready for spot cleaning. The robot suction is fine, not amazing. If Samsung added mopping, this would be close to perfect.
