I have now had Jet Bot + for over 50 days in use. I would say the quality of the build was instantly impressive the moment I unboxed it. The app took me couple days to learn (I am an android user) all the features. I have 95% hard wood flooring where the cleaning result is unbelievably good. The fact that it even brushes off corner debris & pushes it towards the center of the roller is awesome. I wanted to get the AI version but it was too expensive for me. Fortunately that decision turned out to be a boon, as this Jet Bot + is capable of sneaking under my furniture & cleaning. One of the best feature is where the robot tells u that it is done cleaning & shows u on the map which portions are missed out, so we just have to go move those furniture & let it finish up just those areas with 1 click in second round.
I have had Jetbot for more than a month and it is perfect. I have 3 cats, a small dog and two teenage boys. We live in a house. The robot is really perfect and very reliable. I use it almost every day.
I was literally waiting for this video once I saw an ad on it. One day later here it comes lol. Thanks vacuum wars. Favorite channel which surprises me because it's about cleaning
I dont think they are worth their price, very overpriced, but that AI was the best i have ever seen on a robot vacuum, flawless detection and avoidance but still cleaning as close to the obstacle as possible, amazing. I guess this is where the Samsung's experience with AI and software comes in. Great review as always.
Awesome! been waiting for this one. Though disappointing to hear about some of the subpar results, glad to see they're significantly better than their old models...
For hair tangles, get sewing thread snips. Roborock S7 is easy to clean, but the side brush requires unscrewing. I can clean the hair well with thread snips without needing to unscrew it, or at least I won't need to unscrew it as often.
Samsung doesn't seem to get it with their robot vacuums. They are so expensive, but they have missed the obvious stuff like that AI model being so tall and the poor deep cleaning score. I'd like the AI, but not the price and the other cons.
We bought the Jet Bot some time ago and we're very happy with it :) the hair tingling is the biggest annoyance, requiring regular maintenance about every two weeks. But other than that, it's pretty great :)
@@shanew7361 well, we had just one carpet until recently (small area carpet) and the biggest annoyance was that we needed to put something on top of the edges, otherwise the bot would often pick up the edges and roll the carpet on itself. This of course prevented it from cleaning the carpet. We have another, finer, carpet now as well, but only two weeks and I haven't yet noticed how well it cleans it. Anyway, it doesn't clean the carpet perfectly, but it does a good enough job I think. But again, we only have two small area carpets, so it's not such a big issue.
@@Mike-gz4xn it's alright. The biggest annoyance for me is with the app. It's very slow to load and doesn't update in the background. That means that not rarely, when I want to start the bot, it has to download an update, and that often doesn't work the first time around and takes a long time. Then there's the thing that we can't split the flat into rooms as we want it. The app does it automatically and you can at most merge rooms. You cannot divide them as you'd like. The bot itself is good. I like it's voice very much :)
Yes, Jet Bot AI is really overpriced. If it was absolutely perfect it it's price range and category, I wouldn't say a word though. Jet Bot+ is more than enough for 99% of people.
The bag filters better than bagless, cuz the bag itself IS the filter. With a bagless vacuum, no your not buying bags, but you're still going through lots of filters. If the filter doesn't get changed or cleaned (depending on the machine) the only thing that's happening is the machine is kicking out more crap, or not picking up well.
I recently picked up the Samsung Jetbot 80, which is basically the same as the Jetbot+ but without the dock. It’s performance on hard floors is impressive, and it manages to pick up household dust and pet hair from our golden Labrador without issue. We have hard floors all round and this seems to be one of the better solution available.
interesting about the hair tangling - I thought one of the features on the AI was some kind of "blades" internally that cut through the hair to avoid that problem.
Hmm...wonder if I can 3D print a set of soft rollers for my incoming J7+...or maybe just one and swap out one of the standard rollers...hmmmm. Perhaps I could see how it works before monkeying with it. lol
Warning: If you want to schedule the robot to vacuum certain rooms on certain days you cannot do it. You can only schedule the robot to clean the entire home at a given time. So if you were to just want to do the living room daily and your whole house weekly you would need to just manually go in the app and do the living room daily and set a schedule for a weekly cleaning which will automatically select all rooms.
I have a Samsung Stick Vac with BOTH ROLLER TYPES; BRUSH and SOFT with silver thread on the soft to (mostly) eliminate static charge. Its a really good vacuum for its type. Super lightweight but durable and smartly designed. They have since replaced it with a new design, but the soft brush, on hard floors is superior in just about every metric. If only Samsung or another brand could manage to provide BOTH types of roller brushed -perhaps one of each in a set? It would rise to the top of the nasty, dirty, filthy hill!
I think you actually misunderstood the whole idea of the brush design. It is actually designed to direct all the hair the the center and sides. If you look at the brush cover you will see a sharp edge towards the center and sides. So when enough hair gets tangled it will be cut up by the blade and it will eventually be sucked up. This is actually the first design that i have ever tested that is almost completely maintenance free.
Highly interested in this as the the price difference is crazy! For a brand name original IRobot, it's cheaper than the competition. (In regards to the Samsung with obstacle avoidance) Very rare!
The JetBot AI+ looks very promising! As we have mostly hard floor at home the mentioned missing agitation is no concern for us. The import thing for us is that it has a camera and can avoid obstacles like kids stuff (lego) etc.
I have the ai+ and it does fantastic at avoiding cords and such, BUT, it cant vacuum under the kitchen cabinets at all. I'm actually trying to decide if I should return it. I love it, but I really shouldn't have to sweep my floors after it sweeps my floors. I think it could get under further if it literally went forward for each little section, but that isn't what it does. I love your tests, but since I'm sure I'm not alone in this problem, it would be nice if you showed it working along standard kitchen cabinets.
Congratulations Samsung Jet Bot AI+ for landing in Vacuum Wars' Top Ten Robot Vacuums for 2021! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lRZLcft2PBc.html
I like the S7 auto empty dock the best, it gets dirt out of the filter (which can be very troublesome as dirt tends to get stuck there). However, the only downside is that it is loud. Almost like, jet engine loud! I wish there will be a firmware update in the future to reduce the suction but increase the time needed. Or at least, have it customizable to do just that. Does this auto empty dock get dirt from the filter too? How loud is it and how long does it run for?
I still have my shark IQ robot going strong. And I actually have 2 now. One of them doesn’t work anymore. I will need another robot for my new house. So this really helped me and could be a great option for my downstairs.
For a cheap robot, that Shark IQ surprised me with how good it was. Far from perfect, but a good value for the money, quiet, and it cleaned pretty well.
@@arevee9429 ageeed. Certainly not the best robot. But for the money, it gives you a lot of bang for your buck. I also love that it has a bagless base, and not bagged. Overall, a great value and good robot.
Just picked one up for $300 NIB. After taking all the cellophane off and the stickers it paired to my Motorola edge Plus phone on the first try. However, it would not pair to my wife's Apple 14 after many many many many many tries. Don't know what's up with that. Kept getting an error code. For the 40 minutes it ran it was quiet but then started to develop a squeak in the right wheel as if it had 100,000 miles on it. First 40 minutes. ANNOYING. Otherwise it's pretty quiet vacuum. It did have trouble getting back to the base as I had to pick it up put it back. A confused the base station like going into the bathroom as the base station was on the other side of the wall. Jeeze. Hopefully it does better tomorrow.
I'm relatively deep in the samsung ecosystem but never considered their vacuum robots. I had my first experience with an old roomba j something from a few years ago. Very recently I spent 1400 Euro on a top of the line robot from Dreame XR 40. I never considered a samsung vacuum. They never get mentioned in blogs and tests and they seem too tall to pass under my furniture. Do I miss out on anything. How do they compare?
I really like the option to control the robot with the extra perk of using that in-built camera, shame that for me personally as someone that has a mostly carpet house the cons outweigh the pros.
Thanks for the video, really interested in the Samsung one. A little worried about the hair tangles though. Do you think for a heavy shedding dog with medium hair ( Siberian husky) would get tangled a lot? In your testing what do you think the best vacuum is to resist hair tangles?
I would use the robo vacuums as another layer of cleaning but I still would run my Dyson v10 cyclone absolute vac as needed for spills and also steam my hardwood floors with my Bissell to sanitize once or twice per month for a deeper clean that the robot can just maintain...since I already own those. I only have 4 area rugs and no carpet so the handheld tool from my Dyson and my hoover cleanslate is what I use deep clean on my rugs as anything else would be too much suction for just a rug.
If you want a much deeper clean I would recommend looking around locally for a used Kirby Sentria II, Avalir/Avalir 2. These things are absolute tanks and you'll be impressive with how they revive the pile of your carpet and how much deep down (to the padding) dirt they get. 😊😊
I saw the samsung advertisement video, and some people in the comments were debating if the height would be an issue. It looks like it could be. Anyways, thank you for the intereseting video :)
Dude PLEASE REVIEW THE NEW IROBOT ROOMBA j7 please. Sorry I’m just excited because it has a camera in the front so it’s an ai roomba. It also has a self empty base
Thanks for the review...I am still curious if the AI can recognize liquids of any kind, as it happens that our cat cleans out her stomach from time to time and pukes on the floor 😀...i would expect this kind of feature, especially as the bigger AI version is also claimed as a "pet oriented / friendly" version.
Thank you for the review. Which robotic vacuum cleaner do you recommend to buy that removes long hair without tangling around the brush? This is the biggest problem in our house:(( Thank you.
6:12 lol. i was about to say that robot vacs will improve on many aspects once they move away from the small/short height form factor like this model from Samsung. It is debatable how to go about under the couch cleaning like with much cordless vac. The thing with dust under these places, it is not important to clean these everyday unless there is a child at home exploring/playing on these areas
You forgot to cover the phone app and it's abilities and configurations. Otherwise, as usual, a good review. I've been watching many, many of your reviews and I love them.
Would you recommend either of these Samsung robots to a Roborock S7? I have been contemplating for months now and I know someone that can get me the Samsung Jetbot+ for almost the same price as Roborock S7. I don't have carpets but I do feel lack of mopping features in both Samsung's are disappointing to me atm.
I’d say go for Roborock as they have the best navigation and features. Their application features are incomparable. Their parts are also available everywhere.
There is no reason to take the Samsung according to my opinion - the S7 is much better on carpets and has - despite of the Samsung - a very good mopping function. They both do very good on hard floors. In addition Roborocks proved themselves as very reliable robots over the years...
Revisiting this review after 4 months of ownership. Thus vacuum cleaners dumb as a box of rocks. It will leave the base spin around a couple times then clean a 10-foot diameter area of the front living room and then pronounce it is "finished and is returning to base". Mind you my downstairs is 1300 sq ft. Other times it's proclaim loudly it is avoiding an obstacle. None exist. There is nothing around it. Just stops randomly and likes to hear itself. Then another favorite is "something is stuck in my right wheel ". Nothing in the right wheel. My Neato D3 beats the crap out of this Samsung innevery metric and measure one could possibly imagine. The D3 just goes about it's job and bumos into things but manages to clean the entire downstairs every single day i ask it too. Period. No fuss, no stopping no talking loudly about avoiding obstacle or getting something stuck. It vacuums the ENTIRE downstairs. Without fail. Samsung? 10' diameter and it's finished. Freaking pathetic. I paid $1500 for this based on this guy review and he mentioned nonenof these quirks. Just unboxed it and it never had a single problem. I seriously doubt that. Four months of problems and it has only cleaned the entire downstairs ONCE in what 25 tries? Something is suspect in these videos.
I wanted to get the AI but the price was prohibitive . I'm getting the regular Jet Bot. The clean station is gonna be a great improvement over my Powerbot 7040 and I don't have to worry about opening the blinds since lidar robots can clean in the dark.
Great video since I am definitely in the market for a Samsung/SmartThings HA compatible vacuum bot. Could you tell me the under furniture clearance for each of these models? Thanks.
I have a golden retriever and with the Powerbot the hair get wrapped up around the roller bearings and require cleaning after each run, and then after a few months the bearings would stop turning because the hair keeps jamming them. Does this new Jet Bot have the same issue? I don't have to have to replace my roller every few months due to failed bearings.
Is the jet bot ai+ better than the Roomba s9+? I have a cat with long hair and is a pain in the arse to vacuum up, best vacuum I have found so far would be the shark navigator upright and I have literally just purchased the Roomba s9 hasn’t arrived yet but if this is better I might send it back and get a Samsung
Could you do a review for the Makita 18v stick vac very cheep I use it for light jobs like dirt for from my reptile enclosure so I don’t wreak the vacuum
can you add cat toys and or other small items that kids might leave on the floor to the ai tests in the future? i think it would be rather good to know
I have the AI+ and this is where it shines. I never worry about picking up the floor first. it will avoid things. I wish it wouldn't avoid the dead leaves that fall from my plants, but can't have your cake and eat it too. But, it doesn't vacuum under my kitchen cabinets. It's bit too tall sideways, so it would have to go forward for every section and it doesn't. That is a major problem.
Interesting to see that Samsung have pushed the round robot brush roller forward. Is this purely for the auto empty or is it better than in the middle 🤔
Burts is forward because that way you can get as close to the walls as possible. If the brush was in the middle, like most of the round robots, they won't pick the close edges at all. You will have a band of debris along the edges.
I just recently returned a Roomba i7+ after extremely poor navigation. It wouldn't venture into other rooms unless there was substantial amounts of light and being winter time the hallway in my home just doesn't have enough light for the i7 to go to other parts of the house. Besides that problem I did enjoy the i7... I also tried out the J7+ and it's just not worth the money. Vacuum Wars says it's the best all around bot vac of 2022 but I disagree... I literally watched it clean my hard floors and the suction was so low that it was just leaving stuff everywhere and not picking it up (like crumbs and stuff). I've settled on the Neato D9 as it does an excellent job navigating and has two speeds I can choose from plus a 200 minute battery which destroys all of the iRobots 90 minute poor excuse for a battery. Also... as soon as Neato makes a vac with a self emptying base I'll be dropping the cash on it lol!
It's weird that these companies do not add pet waste avoidance. That can literally destroy your expensive appliance. As far as I know, there are only two: iRobot J7+ and J6+
Would you ever consider doing a giveaway of one of the vacuums you own, or even a new one? Or since you're partnered/sponsored by a third party are you even allowed to do something like that? I love all of your videos and of course a giveaway wouldn't be necessary for me to continue to enjoy your channel and your very helpful content, but I was just curious. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm not sponsored or partnered with anyone. I've dabbled a little in that but it isn't ongoing or anything like that. I also keep all the vacuums for using in later reviews and video footage. Sorry, but thanks for understanding.
