Customers are dissatisfied with the robotic vacuum cleaner's value for money, durability, and battery life. They find it overpriced, not reliable, and lacking in quality components. Opinions differ on its functionality, cleaning efficiency, navigation, suction, and noise level.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers have different experiences with the robotic vacuum cleaner's functionality. Some say it does a great job and doesn't get stuck. Others report issues where it stopped working or started to fail constantly after a month.

"This is a great robotvac with a few caveats. If you house has corners or edges. if you have any carpeting. Unless your house is spotless...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the cleaning efficiency of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some say it cleans effectively in the center of the room, and can be specified to clean certain areas like furniture or appliances. Others mention that it's good for UI and AI but not good at cleaning, taking up to 90 minutes to clean one room. There are also concerns about carpet deep cleaning and issues with the robot not finding its cleaning station after a few months of use.

"...I set up three zones, and each one is thoroughly cleaned in one round...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the robotic vacuum cleaner's navigation. Some say it maps well and navigates the house well, avoiding obstacles. Others mention it loses the map and wanders around the house getting lost.
"...did a fantastic job getting around everything. Bottom line, it took the black dog hair off the floors and carpets and did not get stuck...." Read more

Customers have different experiences with the vacuum cleaner's noise level. Some find it quiet, while others report that it started making a loud noise after a month of use.
"...- Quiet. Has a "Max", "Smart", and "Normal" suction setting. Smart adjusts based on florring and amount of dirt/dust detected...." Read more
"...It is efficient in it's cleaning. It is quiet (turn off the voice and just go with the chimes). It gets home and empties the bag every time...." Read more
"...Quiet - My two dogs do not want to fight it Now the Cons: -..." Read more
"Other than that it is fast and quiet last one was very noisy" Read more
Customers have different experiences with the suction of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some say it doesn't get stuck on floors or carpets, and has a Max, Smart, and Normal suction setting. Others report poor suction, with only 17 cfm on turbo mode and saying it stopped picking up well.
"...The suction is not as good as my NEATO and the runtime is not as long either...." Read more
"...line, it took the black dog hair off the floors and carpets and did not get stuck...." Read more
"...maps well, it navigates the house well, avoids well but it just quit picking up well" Read more

Customers are unhappy with the value for money of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They say it's overpriced, the AI is not worth the price, and the suction is poor.

"...But the key issue was the suction -- it truly sucked. The unit had serious problems even with human hair (what if I had a pet??),..." Read more

"...I’ll have to contact support but as of right now it’s a complete waste of money should of gone with iRobot..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the robotic vacuum cleaner's durability. They mention it breaks within 6 months, is not a reliable piece of equipment, and the parts are of poor quality. Some say the high price tag when the parts haven't lasted more than 3 months before they broke.
"...I loved this vacuum, but it broke for no reason in such a short time, and my husband and I are receiving ZERO support getting it fixed or replaced...." Read more
"...of their electronics, but instead under the terrible quality of their appliance manufacturing. Save your money and buy a different vacuum...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the robotic vacuum cleaner's battery life. They mention it doesn't charge fully, dies quickly, and doesn't return to the charging station. Some say Samsung doesn't carry replacement parts.

"...I don't disagree that the battery will deteriorate over time. But this is expected...." Read more
"...Actually, there is a huge issue. The battery won't charge to 100% (and also dies extremely quickly), so the robot never finishes a cleaning cycle...." Read more

- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023I am impressed. It cleans well and thus far; the shocking surprise is it's relatively quiet for a vacuum. My Apple Watch reports it as about 65-67 dB with me standing right over it while it is working. Its navigation is excellent- and trust me, and right now, my house would challenge any robot vacuum's navigation. I am in the middle of moving a lot of stuff around and cleaning out things. There's just stuff and boxes all over. Yet, "Snoopy" (hey, it is white with some dark spots!) did a fantastic job getting around everything. Bottom line, it took the black dog hair off the floors and carpets and did not get stuck.
It did have a couple times where it seemed to have "issues" returning to the dock- but it eventually decided it was in the right place and backed in. The clean station, as you might expect, is louder than the unit when it empties, but it's brief. For those that complained about it- I'm not sure why. It must evacuate everything that the unit picks up, and it does it well. The bag should last 2 to 3 months. I already own the Samsung BESPOKE JET plus Clean Station and it is the exact same idea. Same size bag with slightly different configuration. The bag packs in the dirt well and trust me when I say it gets a lot around this house mostly thanks to the dog hair (yes, it's that bad, and if I was allergic, I'd be dead).
The only negative I can see so far- is that the main unit is a tad tall. It's not going to go fit under some lower sofas, furniture, or beds. If that's critical to you, this is not the unit for you. Plus, I still have my excellent Neato D7, which can, if it chooses to, go on the mission impossible of cleaning under beds and furniture should I need it. 😂
The SmartThings app is a bit overwhelming at first, because it encompasses so many assorted products from Samsung, and other companies. If you're not techy, you'll have a bit of a learning curve and could get aggravated. You can always find someone who is tech savvy- and they can help. Part of the issue is that the app does a lot of different things- and it isn't always as intuitive as it should be. However, once you learn the design- you can navigate it well. I think Samsung would do itself a favor if they had a "simple mode" option for the app- especially if someone doesn’t own several products or it’s their first experience with the Smart Things App. I wish they’d refine the app more frequently.
I view these units as the "keep it cleaner in-between" cleaner. If you have a super shedder dog like I have, it can help keep you sane. I love my dog, but shedding is his superpower. The minute you neglect to vacuum, it's EVERYWHERE. There is nothing worse than seeing dog hairs where they never should be seen. Ever. Do not ask. For me, these robot vacuums are a miracle! Yes, I liked my Neato a lot, but neato really needs to improve the dirt disposal process. It is too messy. My solution was just to use my regular vacuum to clean it out. That just became annoying. This is why the Clean Station concept is so appealing! It is so well executed by Samsung, having had such a positive experience with the Bespoke Jet- I knew pretty much the quality I was going to get. So far, I am not disappointed.
If I ever am, I will update this review appropriately. 😉

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2021***UPDATE***
Unfortunately, I have to bump this all the way down to 1 star. Reason: After just over one year the BATTERY NO LONGER HOLDS A CHARGE. Conveniently, it's just out of warranty. I've contacted Samsung support. No service centers around (according to their map, none exist in the United States! at least, not for this robot vacuum). No replacement battery available.
This extremely disappointing as this otherwise was a very reliable, albeit not quite as powerful as others, vacuum. $1,399.67 (with tax) down the drain. Unfortunately, will have to switch brands. Samsungs customer service has been VERY disappointing. And apparently, others have had the same experience.
*****************
(Writing from wife's account) BACKGROUND: Have had 4 of the other brand's D shaped robot vacuum before this(5 if you count the last one, D8, that was replaced in warranty. History with the last brand was very inconsistent ad FREQUENTLY frustrating.
Enter the Samaung Jetbot ai+. My wife and I have said we didn't know whag we were missing bh sticking with the other botvac. This one has taken all of the drama out. Now each scheduled vacuuming day the assumption is it will complete its cleaning run. And for us this has actually been true 95% of the time. Bery happy with this purchase, altbough it's on the expensive side.
PROS:
- Quiet. Has a "Max", "Smart", and "Normal" suction setting. Smart adjusts based on florring and amount of dirt/dust detected. Max and normal are exactly as they sound. Usually use Smart. Will set to Max for spot cleang.
- Map. You can specify it clean a room, designated spot, around furniture or appliances it has detected(ai), or the whole house.
- Communication. It tells you everything it's doing, including when it recognizes an obstacle. Also, the light strip on the front not only looks cool but indicates various modes: green=charged, white=in operation, bule=home monitoring (via the camera). You also see the lihht bar animate when it's 'thinking'.
- Battery. For our 1500+ square foot upper level it cleans it all in one run if on Smart suction and zig zag cleaning pattern. Otherwise it will return to base about 80% through to empty and charge.
-Self emptying. Only have to worry about emptying the bag in the tower every 2-3 months.
- Ai. It does recognize different objects and acts accordingly. If a cord, towel, clothes, cup, plate, etc, is on the floor it will usually recognize it and avoid. I say usually because I have observe it on occasion miss a power cord depending on how it's laying on the floor. I believe it has more to do with there being adequate light for the camera based ai more than anything. But 9/10 times it 'sees' , identifies, and reacta accordingly.
CONS:
- Scheduling. There seems to be no way to schedule it to clean specific rooms on certain days, even though Samsung's website says it should be able. Seems like an oversight in the app software I hope they correct soon.
So far that's really the only one for us. Will update if we discover more.
1.0 out of 5 stars Has completed more cleaning runs in two weeks than my previous bot did in 6 months.***UPDATE***

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2024I have bought this robot vacuum when it first came to market a few years ago. I have recently purchased my second one for a new home currently in. I bought the same one because I was pleased with the first one and the new one performs as well if not better than the first generation. I don't disagree that the battery will deteriorate over time. But this is expected. However out of all the robot vacuums on the market this one is about as strong as a regular vacuum as it relates to suction. I have a very mazey home (approximately 3k square feet). This vacuum can navigate the entire home without getting lost or stuck. I set up three zones, and each one is thoroughly cleaned in one round. I have never found any robot vacuum to be perfect, but out of all of them I have found this one to be the most reliable and consistent. As a side note, I have never found Samsung Customer Service to be great (poor and frustrating at best). So, the complaints regarding that point are fair. Still highly recommend this product.
