  Review of Samsung - Jet Bot AI+ Robot Vacuum with Object Recognition - White The Robot Vacuum with Object Recognition from Samsung at glance is impressive the package of latest technology put together for the daily home task to clean up the dust. In essence, for navigation use LiDAR sensor to map the area, the same type of sensor used for auto self driving in some brands, and also for Google Mapping. Then it works with object recognition to identify objects and AI to support the task of vacuuming itself. On the actual vacuuming and cleaning, it has 5 layers of filtration, quite acceptable level of suction power, and work on hard floor and carpet. Above description enhance the experience or optimize the house maintaining work by being able to control chewing where to clean, which area not to clean (no go function), real time tracking either remotely out of home, or at home, and scheduling, then for last able to see the report of area covered and duration in which shows date and time stamp. Then for maintenance aspect of the vacuum after the task is completed, it self empty and the dust bin is washable. And as additional feature, it comes with camera for two purpose: first be able to see as it is cleaning where is cleaning, second, as home security monitor, and additional good to have function is find pet if there is one. The video can be downloaded if recorded as side note. There are large number of functionality and hardware that can be described, but going in detail a bit focused on the vacuum on the task of the vacuuming and how it move by itself, four aspects I observed: 1. Used on second floor, without the border or not go zone marker band. As it vacuum nearly the stair, it reach almost to the edge and by itself move away from the very edge where the stair starts. Hence multiple time I was next to it just incase, but never had to touch the vacuum either from falling or stop. 2.Bumping agasint objects alike door or furniture: as it move and approach to the object, noticed in most of cases avoid at all and maneuver enough to be close for cleaning up but not to touch. Some case does bump a bit against but it doesn’t do with all the force of the speed and hitting against the object. Instead it does in quite controlled mode. This is remarkable in a sense that the hardware and its software does good amount of control. Other brand I’ve used, it does almost kind of hitting the furniture and door and can hear from other room. 3. Its sound while working is smooth, although there is some level of noise coming out form the hardware, it is kind of low and but a bit like electric car moving noise. 4. The power suction is more than acceptable level. Vacuuming on the carpet has captured good amount of dust noticeable within the filter. For navigation, it does the mapping and give option via the application to perform it while vacuuming or just map first the area. Then provide option to edit the map and rename/combine/divide room as needed. On how precise is the mapping in overall is close to the actual area, but room recognition is bit off but reasonable enough and need to perform edit. The No Go zone, although I haven’t set it up, and using it as is out of box, it has worked close to well managing which part not to go, like mentioned earlier the very edge starting part of the stair. And as additional cool thing included with video camera. This is really come handy used with in remote mode and need to check on either kids or things via Manual Control. With this is almost like using a drone on the floor version. And I find specially useful for parents with babies from 1 to 5 years old. Now, on parts that I feel it comes short for the price point and what it is with full of latest technology: 1. To use the application, user has to create user account/password. This make one more user id//password to use to all other home things for smart things via mobile device. 2. The video camera doesn’t have capability for sound/mic. As it intend for Home Security, it seems crucial need for the type of usage intended within home while I am away. 3. Filter bag dependency. After the usage, it can’t be emptied, and need to use until it is full and then replace with a new filter. Understandably, there might be some user that prefer to replace as it doesn’t have to do additional work of emptying the filter bag, but for what cost $1,300 wit latest technology didn’t address that aspect of dependency of purchasing frequently the filter bag looks bit shortcoming. 4. Being user that only have this vacuum from Samsung, still its application request for location tracking enablement. I am not sure what it is purpose, but for the purpose of using the vacuum alone, the requirement looks redundant. 5. Charging it from almost zero battery to full charge takes considerable hours. If I am not mistaken it would about 5 hours if I can recall as this writing. As per its specification, cleaning time is up to 90 minutes. But depending on mode of cleaning I observed it end up sometime in the loop between some area having to recharge and continue, and this is were the speed of charging feels to come short. In short, it is not perfect and again it is packed with one of latest technology in the market, and reasonable variety of options to control via application which works seamless with the hardware accordingly.

  Clean Your Home, and Monitor It Too

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  ----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: In the crowded robot vacuum market, does the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ stand out? To me, it does. Its advanced features like mapping, object avoidance, home monitoring, and self-emptying all work very well, and there’s a high level of customization and control offered in the SmartThings app. Though other robot vacuums I’ve tried had similar features, they didn’t work as well as the Samsung Jet Bot AI+. This robot vacuum delivers on its promises. Pros: - Good object avoidance - Effective cleaning on a variety of surfaces (carpet, tile, wood) - Home monitoring capabilities like live video and motion detection - Clean Station automatically empties the dustbin - Easy maintenance with a washable dustbin - Accurate room mapping Cons: - Too tall to fit under some baseboards and furniture ----- DETAILS ----- Setup: In about 15 minutes, the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is ready to go. Much of this time is just unboxing. It was neatly and safely packaged in the box. The Clean Station plugs into a wall outlet, and then you place the Jet Bot on it. The Jet Bot has a switch on the side to power it on. Although there is a partial charge already, Samsung recommends fully charging before first use. Once fully charged, you can use the start/stop/pause button that’s on the lid to begin a cleaning job or connect it to the SmartThings mobile app to enable additional features. App: There are quite a few features in the SmartThings app that make the Jet Bot customizable and versatile. I particularly like the map management, home monitoring, and the adjustable suction power and cleaning modes. After the Jet Bot has mapped your home (which it does very accurately), you can edit it in a variety of ways, such as naming or dividing rooms and setting no-go zones for the Jet Bot to avoid. Home monitoring in the app is a cool feature I’ll go into more detail on below. There are three different suction power settings and three cleaning modes to choose from. For suction, you can choose “Max” to constantly use the maximum power, “Smart” to use normal suction power unless carpet or a large amount of dust is detected (in which case it will switch to “Max”), or “Normal” which minimizes energy consumption. The three cleaning modes include cleaning the entire area first then finishing with the wall, cleaning the walls and edges before cleaning the entire area, or moving in a zigzag pattern to quickly clean the entire area. It’s nice to have this level of customization so that the Jet Bot can suit my specific needs. Other features include maintenance notifications, cleaning schedules, cleaning reports, and basic controls like starting, pausing, or stopping a cleaning job. Design: The Samsung Jet Bot AI+ has a unique, futuristic design. Many robot vacuums look the same, so I applaud Samsung for thinking outside the box. It’s easily the best-looking robot vacuum I’ve seen. The one thing that might be an issue in some cases is its size. When the LiDAR sensor pops up (after you send the Jet Bot on a cleaning job), it’s about 5.5 inches tall. That height makes it less versatile than lower-profile robot vacuums. This hasn’t been an issue with the furniture I have but it doesn’t fit under my kitchen baseboards (often leaving crumbs behind). If you want the Jet Bot to reach every part of your floor, I advise measuring your furniture and baseboard height to make sure there’s enough clearance. The lid is held in place by a magnet, and it’s easy to remove when you need to clean/replace the filters or dustbin. On the lid, there are two buttons, one that starts, stops, or pauses a job, and one that sends it home to the Clean Station. Like the Jet Bot, the Clean Station is also quite tall, but it’s narrow, and the white and grey design gives it a sleek look. The height of the Jet Bot and Cleaning Station hasn’t been too problematic for me, but if a compact design is of utmost importance to you, then you might consider other options. Cleaning Performance: With its methodical navigation and powerful suction, the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ cleans exceptionally well. My home has hardwood floors, tile, and carpet, and the Jet Bot sucks up almost all debris on any surface. As a cat owner, hair and litter are my biggest concern, and it handles those with ease. Upon close inspection, I occasionally notice some of the smaller litter particles in between the carpet fibers, but for surface-level cleaning, the Jet Bot is impressively effective and consistent. I like that it operates cautiously instead of obnoxiously ramming into objects and walls. Where I wish it was a little less cautious is the raised transitions between wood, tile, and carpet. It usually pauses for a bit to make sure it's okay to proceed. When it does decide to go, the big wheels make sure it never has any issues. When the Jet Bot empties its bin, be prepared. It sounds like a plane taking off in your home. Thankfully, it lasts for less than 30 seconds and always does a great job emptying the entire contents of the bin. I haven’t had to manually clear any clogs yet. The Jet Bot itself is reasonably loud while cleaning, so I don’t find it distracting. Home Monitoring: One of the really neat features of the Jet Bot AI+ is its ability to patrol your home. It’s fun to use the virtual joystick in the SmartThings app to manually drive the Jet Bot around and check on things (usually me seeing what my cat is up to). Using the map, you can automatically send it to a particular room as well. The live video feed is remarkably clear, so it truly is an effective home monitoring tool. If you’d like the Jet Bot to monitor while you’re away, you can schedule it to check up to five different spots as frequently as once an hour. If any motion is detected, you’ll get a notification. It might not be as effective as a security camera that’s constantly on, but I’m happy to have an extra layer of security, plus the fun of driving it around. Battery Life: At full power, the Jet Bot can last about an hour. If the battery runs out during a cleaning job, it will return to the Clean Station, recharge, and then resume. I generally have it clean all the rooms on the main floor of my home (roughly 1,000 sq. ft.), and it completes the job without needing to charge. One hour of battery life isn’t the best on the market, but it’s suitable for small or medium-sized coverage. Maintenance: Robot vacuums are supposed to be convenient, but the maintenance steps aren’t always that way. Thankfully, the Jet Bot has a fully washable dustbin for easy maintenance. Removing and emptying the dustbin is simple, then you can just rinse it with water and let it dry. The fine dust filter (separate from the dustbin) isn’t washable, but you just shake it over a trashcan to clean. Samsung recommends changing the fine dust filter at least once a year. Each sensor can be gently wiped with a soft cloth as needed. The most difficult part to clean is the brush because hair can get tangled, but that doesn’t happen too often or seem to significantly impact performance. The design has self-cleaning extractors that grind up hairs to avoid tangles around the brush. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Jet Bot AI+ Robot Vacuum 1 x Clean Station 2 x Dustbag 2 x Pre-motor filter 1 x Roll of boundary markers 1 x Power cord 1 x User Manual
