Many customers also liked the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. The vacuum can be turned off and on with a simple voice command.

Additionally, the two hand vac attachments included aren't able to fit in the base and are easily lost.

This feature is not available on other robots, which makes the Samsung a safe choice for your house.

This model is not very good at spot cleaning. The robot was sent to clean a low-pile carpet with rice grains scattered over it. The robot did a poor job of moving the rice grains around and failed to take any of them. This is a disappointing result considering that other models did better in the tests.

It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums offer similar performance for a lower cost. For example, you can get a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features for half the price with the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid.
