Another thing that many users liked about this model is its ability to work with Alexa.

The only thing we didn't like about this vacuum was that it took a little bit longer to charge in comparison to other models we've looked at.

It then either navigates around them or marks them as a no-go zone in the map. This feature isn't present on other robots, which makes the Samsung a very safe option for your home.

This model isn't very good at spot cleaning. We tested it by scattering rice particles on carpets with low pile and sending the robot to clean. The machine was unable to pick up or push the rice grains. This is a sour result considering that other models did better in the test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ isn't cheap in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality for less. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for instance is a top-rated robot vacuum that offers similar features for half the price.
