Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra Review: Does AI Truly Revolutionize the Cordless Clean?

Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra review: Is AI a game changer for the cordless clean?

The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra enters the crowded field of high-end cordless vacuums as a flagship offering that promises high-tech home cleaning from an old name in the industry. However, this new addition to Samsung’s jet lineup has some great benefits, including powerful suction, long battery life and the (frankly kind of wild) use of artificial intelligence to tailor the clean.

At its heart, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is said to be capable of suctioning 400 Air Watts (AW), making it one of the most powerful cordless vacuums on the market. Supplementing this power is a long-lasting battery meant to deliver up to 100 minutes of cleaning on a single charge in pursuit of unplugged whole-house cleaning without any interruptions. The All-in-One Clean Station that combines the automatic emptying of the dustbin with charging and storage features uniquely designed for the vacuum, which is one of the key highlights of the Bespoke series, is also part of the package.

So, in this Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra review, I’ll take an in-depth look at its best features and performance. By Comparing it with top competitors in the high-end cordless vacuum market and considering real-world user experiences, this article attempts to establish whether this premium offering is living up to the hype and worth the expected premium price.

Design and Build Quality

Bespoke is an intentionally modern and stylistic design that often carries high-end finishes, such as the satin black mentioned. The design is reportedly ergonomic, with some reviewers noting a firm, comfortable feel in the handle (6) that makes it easier to use during those long cleaning sessions. With a telescopic wand, you get an additional range of cleaning thanks to adjustable reach, allowing it to clean both floors and ceilings and under furniture.

The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra comes with an All-in-One Clean Station. This multi-functional docking station plays several vital roles. First and foremost, it acts as a charger for the vacuum’s battery, so the device is charged up and ready for the next job. Second, and certainly most interestingly, it has an automatic dustbin empty system run by “Air Spin Edge Technology.”

With the Clean Station, that system spins at up to 1000RPM to suck out the dust and debris collected in the vacuum’s dust bin and deposit it into a larger, disposable bag inside the Clean Station itself. The whole process, in fact, is a truly hands-free affair, which is much more convenient and hygienic since it alleviates the need for users to have to empty the dustbin themselves and potentially get exposed to dust and allergens in the process.

In conclusion, the Clean Station is also an excellent storage solution for the vacuum itself, where it condenses and requires very little space and can be stored upright. As in older Bespoke Jet models, the Clean Station holds a 2-liter dust bag, which the Ultra likely follows, meaning you’ll have to replace it less often. These features work well together to create one elegant unit, demonstrating that design is not only about looks but also about utility.

Performance and Features

Suction Power

The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra promises brash suction power. That’s based on something called 400AW of suction, which it claims makes the vacuum “the most powerful cordless stick vacuum in the world. The turbocharger is produced by the HexaJet Motor, which is designed to a complex efficiency hexagon stator structure, a 2nd stage diffuser, and an impeller with reduced thickness. Together, these design elements help to maximize airflow and improve the overall efficiency of the motor. As a note, this maximum suction is only attainable when the vacuum is set to its most powerful option, “Jet Setting”. Independent reviews have largely confirmed the vacuum’s strong suction capabilities, with a few highlighting its “excellent suction.” Indeed, how consistently this power plays out on different types of floors or the real-life usability at this setting matters a lot.

Battery Life

Battery life is another one of the things the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra wants to do better. Samsung claims that it has the “longest battery life of any cordless stick vacuum,” with up to 100 minutes of runtime from its “large capacity battery” when used in energy-efficient “Min mode” on a single charge. Additionally, some reviews mention the availability of two interchangeable batteries. If your cleaning takes over 100 minutes, one of its batteries provides an additional 60 minutes of runtime, increasing the total cleaning time to a whopping 160 minutes. The regional availability of a second-standard battery varies. A reminder: Actual battery life and charge cycles may vary based on settings, environment, and usage. Please note that higher power modes such as “Jet Mode” will create considerably longer cleaning times.

AI Cleaning Mode 2.0

Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra — Key Feature: AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 This smart system helps in automatically optimizing the vacuum performance depending on the type of surface. The AI can then sense through brush load and the air pressure during vacuuming and identify the different types of flooring — hard floor, regular carpet, long pile or dense carpet, or mat. The latter can distinguish up to six separate cleaning environments, which allows for more fine-tuned tweaks to suction power, brush speed, and general maneuverability.

One of the new features that this iteration of the vacuum comes with is corner detection via the Slim LED Brush+ attachment. When the vacuum detects that it is getting near a corner on a hard floor, it adjusts the suction power and brush speed automatically to make sure that a thorough clean is being done in a spot usually not touched by household cleaning. This corner detection functionality, however, only works for hard floor environments.

Critics have been somewhat divided over the performance of the AI Cleaning Mode 2.0. The AI adjustments weren’t always on the mark, testers noted, with the vacuum, for example, not always detecting subtle differences in floor type or adjusting accordingly. Conversely, other reviews note that the vacuum could hear and see when a floor surface changed, and it dynamically adjusted its power and brush speed accordingly. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that the performance of the AI features may differ depending on the actual cleaning environment and the sensor’s sensitivity.

Brushes and Attachments

The versatile array of brushes and attachments included with the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra can handle all of your cleaning needs. The main floor cleaning head is the Active Dual Brush with a dual-roller system. The front roller has a soft roller which is great for collecting fine dust and debris from hard floors, without causing scratches, while the rear roller with coarser nylon and rubber bristles designed to agitate and clean carpets including hair from pets. This toothbrush head also includes built-in LED lights to brighten your cleaning path to clearly see hidden data and dirt.

Includes Slim LED Brush+ for hard floors, corner cleaning. It also includes LED lights and is designed to make it easy to maneuver into tight spaces and along edges. For extracting pet hair from upholstery and furniture, the Pet Tool+ (a mini-motorized brush) is included. This attachment is designed to lift and capture pet hair and long human hair effectively, and it often comes with features to prevent hair from wrapping around the brush roll. Usually included accessories comprise: a 2-in-1 duster brush, suitable for dusting desks, shelves and keyboards as well as a crevice tool to reach into the difficult areas like narrow spaces and tight corners. These units sometimes include an accessory carousel or caddy that allows you to easily store and access these many attachments.

Filtration

The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra features a state-of-the-art multi-layer filtration system that collects a high percentage of fine dust and allergens. It claims to capture 99.999% of fine dust particles. This means you’ll benefit from HEPA filtration, removing even the most minute of particles that are 0.3µm in size – great if you’re an allergy sufferer, or just want to have an understanding of good air flow in your house. In addition, when the vacuum is placed on the Clean Station, the dustbin cover will automatically close in order to help ensure dust doesn’t escape during emptying. In addition, a washable dustbin and washable filters make it easy for users to remove trapped odors and ensure maximum performance over time.

Additional Smart Features

Featuring an integrated LCD display control panel, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet UltraS vacuum would normally have it on the handle. Users will have access to real-time information on the current suction level, remaining battery time and maintenance alerts or notifications that may occur on the display. The vacuum also has Wi-Fi so it can be connected to the Samsung SmartThings app. Functions that may be accessible via the app include remotely emptying the dustbin (although this is mostly a Clean Station feature), tracking energy usage, and potentially managing cleaning modes.

It comes with a smart self-diagnosis feature as well, that can send personalised maintenance alerts and can inform users whenever the filter or brush needs cleaning, thereby ensuring consistent and effective performance. It indicates that the vacuum could get new features through software updates. More interestingly, the LCD display can be used to display notifications for incoming calls and text messages received from the user’s connected smartphone — not necessarily revolutionary, but certainly unique, and perhaps not at all essential.

Usability and Convenience

We had the sense that the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra had ease of use and utility in its designs. Comfort DesignMost reviews were amazed with the comfortable and ergonomic cleaning design of the vacuum for handling and maneuvering. It comes with a telescopic wand that makes cleaning in a variety of spaces much more comfortable by letting you adjust the vacuum’s reach.

One notable convenience feature is the All-in-One Clean Station, which automates the dustbin emptying process while serving as a dedicated battery charging/storage solution. On the downside — at least according to some reviews — the vacuum is hard to push on carpets which could be an issue for people with carpeted homes. Noise levels during operation is another consideration, with decibel ratings falling generally in the same range as those of other high-performance cordless vacs. The vacuum is lightweight, which helps its portability, so you can easily move it from level to level in a home or use it in handheld mode for cleaning furniture and other above-floor surfaces.

Comparison with Competitors

The premium cordless vacuum cleaner category is crowded with strong competition, each with its own take on features and performance. The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra faces off against major competitors such as the Dyson Gen5detect, Shark Stratos Cordless, and LG CordZero A949.

When it comes to suction power the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra wins out with its advertised 400AW, followed by the Dyson Gen5detect with 280AW and the LG CordZero A949 with 265AW. The Shark Stratos Cordless employs the brand’s “Clean Sense IQ” tech, which activates additional power when it senses dirt, so directly comparing AW isn’t as cut-and-dry.

When it comes to battery life, the LG CordZero A949 features an impressive 200 minutes of runtime — two included batteries — compared to Samsung’s 100 or 160 minutes, Dyson’s 70 minutes, and Shark’s 60 minutes.

All four models include smart features to improve the cleaning experience. Samsung’s new AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 is designed to intuitively adapt to various floor types and provide cycle outputs 10 times higher than previous versions, while Dyson’s Gen5detect utilizes particle-sensing technology combined with real-time reporting on an LCD screen. The Shark Stratos Cordless has Detect Pro technology with sensors for dirt, edges, floor type, and light, while the LG CordZero A949 has connectivity with its ThinQ app.

This self-emptying dock is a major selling point. The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra and LG CordZero A949 come with a self-emptying base in the box, and Shark has an optional auto-empty base for the Detect Pro. The Dyson Gen5detect does not come with a self-emptying dock. Each of the four vacuums has HEPA filtration to trap fine dust and allergens, with Samsung boasting the best filtration efficiency at 99.999%. Samsung and LG provide two batteries with their premium models, allowing for extended cleaning time, while Dyson and Shark include one. Finally, prices can vary widely. The Shark Stratos Cordless is the cheapest model here, while the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is the priciest, with Dyson and LG in the middle-ground.

User Reviews and Feedback

Looking at the reviewer sentiment from users of the Samsung Bespoke Jet series components, which would be similar to its AI Jet Ultra, some common themes emerge. One of the most praised features of the Samsung vacuums is the strong suction power, with many users noting how they can effectively pick up various debris from multiple surfaces. Another highlight is the long battery life (which allows longer cleaning sessions without frequent recharges).

One of the Clean Station’s big selling points is that it lets users avoid the messy dust cup changes that are commonplace on many other vacuums. For many of them, using the vacuum was straightforward, allowing for an overall enjoyable deep cleaning experience. Some reviews also observe how quiet the vacuum machine is during operation, which is a welcome touch for many homes.

That said, user feedback is giving us a few concerns. One of the drawbacks mentioned by potential buyers is the high price point, suggesting that some may find the cost too high. “There were also issues raised about durability or things breaking in a short period of time, raising the question of how long these things are going to last. Performance on carpets does seem to be ambiguous, with some people stating they find the vacuum works better on hard floors than on carpets. Some users are disappointed with the AI mode not working as well as expected and not being smart enough. Hair tangling round the brush heads isn’t always mentioned, at least not prominently, in these particular snippets, but it’s been a problem cited in professional reviews of similar Samsung models. Despite this criticism, the overall recommendation rates for the Samsung Bespoke Jet series are positive, with many users pleased with their purchase.

Conclusion

Overall, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is an attractive option for anyone in need of a high-end cordless vacuum cleaner. Boasting features such as a staggering 400AW suction and the straightforward Coffee in the One Clean Station, it is a tech champion in cleaning world. Its possible long battery life, particularly with two batteries in areas, makes it capable of dealing with bigger dwellings and even more appealing. AI Cleaning Mode 2.0, which automatically adjusts the vacuum’s behavior according to the type of floor it’s on (even detecting corners along the way) to make the process simpler yet more efficient.

But prospective buyers should weigh the disadvantages. The high sticker price lands it in the top tier of the cordless vacuum industry, and the alleged shortcomings of the AI features may not adequately justify the cost to every potential buyer. Performance concerns around the carpet — potential durability issues — also deserve consideration.

Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra review: Verdict The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is for you if you want cutting-edge technology, cleaning performance that kicks butt wherever it goes and convenience at maximum, and you’re happy to pay extra for a top of the range appliance. If you want the grounded benefits of established and sometimes more reliable automation, the Dyson Gen5detect is undoubtedly a top dog. Alternatively, the Shark Stratos Cordless is a more affordable pick with some smart features of its own, and the LG CordZero A949 has long-lasting battery life and a mopping function for extra versatility.

So, long story short, while the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra seems to usher in a new age of smart cleaning with its abundant AI capability and specifications, whether this new era will feel new in real life, and is indeed a groundbreaking generation of cordless cleaning, will come down to what you need and your expectations. Whether consumers will decide to move forward with this pricier vacuum will depend on weighing its merits with the costs, and the variances in performance offered in user- and professional reviews.
