I’m running out of names for the robots in our house, and I don’t want to repeat one – anyway, introducing Jason, the Jet Bot. Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI is a mouthful, but it’s basically Samsung’s best Robot Vacuum.

It’s a big unit, but according to my wife – it’s one of the better looking Robot Vacuums we’ve had in the house. And that’s critical, these days you’re mad not to get a robot vacuum complete with the full auto-empty station which cleans the robot after every time it cleans.

But still, so big you really need a “place” for them – and if you don’t have a Butler’s Pantry – that’s going to be somewhere out in the open.

Samsung’s Jet Bot carries the Bespoke title meaning it fits in with the rather premium bespoke appliance range across the kitchen and laundry from Samsung – it’s not in any way a cheap look, it’s a premium finish and a sleek minimalistic design.

The whole base/home unit is quite tall, and the dirty water, clean water and vacuum bag are all access from simple handles across the top. The water units are huge – probably similar or slightly smaller than the Ecovacs T30 range, but i do think bigger than the Ecovacs X4 Omni.

Make note, the left hand water tank is the dirty water, the middle tank is the clean water tank – took me two goes to get that going.

And here’s the thing, walking the tank from the laundry through the house is my greatest fear. Dropping litres of water on the floor – disaster. So on many many units over the years I check the clamp from the lid to make sure it’s locked in.

Gotta say, the Samsung Jet Bot Combo water tanks are ultra secure, but – really hard to close. While filling it in the sink I pushed it shut then it fell over and spilled – in the sink. Turns out when it is shut you need to click the clip back into place not just shut the lid.

The robot itself is traditionally round with dual rotating mopping pads on the back and a single swing brush on the front right “corner”.

This model has AI Cameras on the front, but still uses a form of LiDAR it seems on top to map your room. I can spot a LiDAR map happening in that initial setup because you see the beams of light passing through gaps in the wall into other rooms when it hasn’t completed it’s map setup.

What you end up with is an ultra detailed map, it’s stunning. And you can view it in 3D if you like too

Send it out for a clean, and things are quick – I did get a feeling it was doing a quicker job, but also, it was one of the only times I’ve stood and watched a Robot Vacuum do it’s clean.

Then I noticed, it wasn’t doing the edges first. With any other I’m sure they go around the edges then do the inside of the room.

Turns out that’s a settings. I really don’t know why, but this seems a better way. Things get flicked to the edges, do them last.

Now, the way I use a robot is let it do it’s thing on schedule a few days a week, but then once a week or fortnight I get all the chairs up on the tables and let it do a thorough clean with no obstacles.

Perhaps because I was watching Jason the Jet Bot do his thing I really misjudged the whole area then edge cleaning process.

The whole area of our dining room was done, and it started doing some edges. So I put the chairs down, and thought it would do the edges. Turns out it wanted to come back through the middle and thus the chairs really threw it. I think then every leg became an obstacle or wall. A really strange process. But, not on I think you’d experience in normal operation. Don’t watch paint dry, don’t watch your robot clean.

Mopping results are excellent, the rotating mopping pads are the most advanced modern way to mop with a robot. And they lift when it approaches carpet.

Again, in my observation it appears to do the hard floors first then head into the carpeted area, so that’s quite efficient.

My main observations of the Samsung Jet Bot Combo AI are that the mopping pads don’t move out for the edges – this has become a feature on other brands and really at this price – should be a no brainer.

Additionally, the vacuum in the base station that cleans the robot out is the noisiest I’ve ever heard. My family commented on it too.

But the mop washing and drying is exceptional, the app counts down the process for you, and it’s amazing that the pads are dry after use – this means no smells and better hygiene.

The AI component of this does pickup some obstacles, but it failed my Lego test – to be fair it was on a very complex rug pattern, so hard to discern perhaps.

I think perhaps the market for this are people who are all-in on the Samsung ecosystem. This means you can use the Smartthings app to control all your devices, get notifications in or on all your Samsung devices, and have them work together.

Value is the toughest challenge for this device, at $1900 it would be fantastic value. But at $2,499 you’re wanting to look for a deal or bundle it with some other Samsung appliances.

But performance is excellent, you’re going to go hands off with the cleaning if you bring a robot into your home and you’ll never look back!
