Samsung 2-in-1 Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI Robot Vacuum Cleaner (US$1,299)
The upgraded AI Bespoke Jet Bot Combo robot vacuum cleaner will be available in Q3 2025 in Singapore.
In the thick of CES 2024 announcements and artificial intelligence trends is a strange, yet expected option for household chores. Samsung announced a new AI-applied vacuum and mop robot cleaner that “improves the user experience both during and after cleaning”. The Korean company calls it the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo.
The Bespoke Jet Bot Combo is an upgrade from Samsung’s previous AI robot vacuum, which was introduced in 2021. The obvious add-on is the new robot’s added mopping ability and other unseen precision-related upgrades.
According to its official statement, the most notable improvement is AI Object Recognition, where the built-in AI recognises spaces and stains. It goes beyond mapping your home to identify the room type (living room, kitchen, etc.) and automatically suggests “no-go zones” it should avoid, like bathrooms and porches.
If the robot detects a stain, it returns to its docking station to heat its mop pads with steam and water before returning to the offending splotch to clean with its 170RPM spinners. Samsung said it can “actively scrub off even hardened stains”. The robot also keeps itself clean with steaming and sanitising its mop pads with its Clean Station Steam+ feature.
Other Bespoke Jet Bot Combo features include detecting floor types via AI Floor Detect. It distinguishes between hard flooring versus carpets, and ramps up suction power accordingly (for example, sucking harder to get dirt and dust out of carpets). It can also retract its mop pads near carpets to avoid cross-contamination of yuck.
The docking station itself offers a three-step mop pad cleaning system: auto-wash, steam-cleaning, and auto-dry.
Samsung’s Bespoke Jet Bot Combo was exhibited at CES 2024, between 9 and 12 January 2024 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Winchester, Nevada, U.S.). Samsung Singapore said that the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI will come to the Singapore market in Q3 2024. It’s price at US$1,299 on the official Samsung website. Exact Singapore pricing and availability details will be announced closer to its official launch date.
