Samsung Jet Bot Combo AI review: A solid clean with buggy software
When it works, the Jet Bot Combo AI's suction and design are great. But there are a lot of quirks that left me disappointed with this vacuum.

If you look through any tech site’s list of the best robot vacuum cleaners, one thing tends to stand out: The brands included are all mostly dedicated robot vacuum brands.
You have Ecovacs, Dreame, iRobot, and Roborock popping up everywhere, with maybe the odd Dyson thrown in. You would almost suspect that they were the only brands releasing robot vacuums.
But more and more big brands are playing in the space. Philips just announced its first robot vacuums, and Samsung has had several models, including its most recent, the Jet Bot Combo AI.
Samsung has been on a massive quest to shoehorn AI into every product category this year, from smartphones to ovens. So it’s no surprise that its robot vacuum model boasts AI features.
Unfortunately though, this model is still a long, long way from being intelligent. While it is a decent cleaner capable of maintaining your home’s cleanliness, it also has some extremely frustrating drawbacks.
