Samsung launched its Bespoke sequence, a house equipment line for the Wi-Fi-enabled mid-century modern home, a couple of years in the past. Every part has a bunch of “AI-optimized” smarts and appears prefer it belongs on the set of A Single Man. As of at present, Bespoke features a good slide-in induction vary, dishwasher, fridge, garments washer and dryer, and the Jet vacuums—a robotic vacuum and this stunning cordless stick vac.
After I tried the Jet Bot AI+ robot vacuum, it was clear that the equipment had been designed by somebody who had by no means seen a robotic vacuum earlier than. Most robotic vacuums look comparable for very sensible causes, however the JetBot was a lot taller and larger, and it boasted outstanding navigation capabilities whereas leaving a unclean 4-inch border round all the pieces in my home.
The stick vacuum has been designed by somebody born on planet Earth. It has loads of helpful equipment, a phenomenal and easy-to-use docking station, loads of “AI-calibrated” suction, and even a connection to the Samsung SmartThings app. I’m simply undecided you want AI to do this stuff.
Storage Area
In the event you’re contemplating whether or not to get a Bespoke Jet or a Dyson V15, the primary questions you should ask are whether or not ground area is scarce and whether or not you have got a conveniently positioned outlet. My household’s first home had a corridor closet the place we might discreetly hold the V15. Later, we moved to a a lot greater home the place ground area is now not a premium.
I like the Bespoke Jet’s fashionable, free-standing, and self-emptying docking station, which has a round footprint that’s a few foot throughout. The vacuum and station are available in three stylish colours: hunter inexperienced, satin black, and white. The set has a spot of pleasure in my lounge and is mainly the Sword in the Stone. As Samsung’s advertising and marketing supplies say, it’s designed to be seen.
The vacuum additionally comes with three attachments and 7 extra docking station luggage, though the accent I actually wished was the spray spinning sweeper ($150), which is bought individually. The advertising and marketing supplies notice that the vacuum comes with an adjunct cradle and an additional battery that you may swap out for extra cleansing time, however these weren’t within the field with my tester unit.
You may join it to the Samsung SmartThings app (Android, iOS) by scanning the QR code, however though pairing is fast and painless, there isn’t a lot of a motive to make use of the app. It allows you to test the cost stage, when the dustbin was final emptied, and the suction energy, however you may as well do that by checking the show on the vacuum itself.
It has a powerful 280 air watts of suction, which is greater than even the Dyson Gen5detect ($950); my present Dyson V15 has solely 230. At slightly greater than 6 kilos, it’s nearly 3 kilos lighter than the Gen5detect. Nonetheless, its construct high quality doesn’t maintain as much as the Dyson V15. It’s extra plasticky, and the items aren’t engineered to suit collectively as exactly and solidly as a Dyson. It’s a letdown on a premium vacuum marketed as being as slick and exquisite as a tube of Chanel lipstick.

Newer Dyson vacuums, just like the Gen5detect, have HEPA-grade filtration and use gentle to light up mud particles and feed data again to the vacuum’s pc. Samsung notes that the Bespoke Jet AI makes use of a mixture of stress and air sensors to calibrate the extent of suction; however you may as well see slightly gentle illuminating all of the schmutz as you push the vacuum round.
