Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra: A 5-star vacuum cleaner
I’m not going to lead you on: the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is the best vacuum cleaner in the world. Certainly it’s the best one I’ve ever tested or used. I adore everything about this vacuum cleaner, from its super-powerful cleaning capabilities to its sleek design.
Samsung makes a range of Jet vacuums, including the Bespoke Jet robot vacuum and the Jet Pet. However, the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is the best-of-the-best, top-of-the-range vacuum. After announcing it in March 2025, the vacuum was officially released in April 2025. It brings me great joy to announce that Samsung’s claim of “the most powerful vacuum in the world” is, in fact, 100% true.
So, if it’s so good, why bother reading the rest of the review? Well, I’ll get into all the cleaning details and smart home features in this Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra vacuum cleaner review.

Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Price & availability
The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra (say that 10 times) is $1,099 from Amazon U.S. and £1,199 from Samsung U.K.. It doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon U.K. yet.
This makes it one of the priciest vacuum cleaners I’ve ever seen, but that’s for a valid reason. Sometimes good things are expensive. The Bespoke Jet AI (as I will now refer to the vacuum to save my fingers) self-cleans, it has Wi-Fi and smart home compatibility, and it’s really good at cleaning. I see no issue with the price.
The Dyson Gen5Detect I use is $949, but has no cleaning station or app control. If you want to save $$$ but still get a decent vacuum, I’d recommend the Shark Clean & Empty, which is just $349.
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Design
Where the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI vacuum excels is its design. It’s super unique, and definitely one of the most intelligently designed vacuums I’ve ever reviewed.
The Bespoke Jet AI is a mix between a cordless stick vacuum and a robot vacuum: it has a stick vacuum and a cleaning station. This cleaning station automatically empties the vacuum dustbin when you place the vacuum on top. But, be warned — it’s not magnetic, nor does it click into place. One jiggle and the vacuum might fall right off.
The Bespoke Jet AI comes in black or mint. I tested mint, which would have been my choice had I been purchasing this vacuum for myself. The cleaning station is quite big, so make sure you choose the color that will look best in your space.
The vacuum itself has five tools and a tool stand. This tool stand looks like an old iron fire tool stand, but is made from a thin plastic. Considering how well-made the vacuum cleaner itself is, I was a little disappointed to feel that the tool stand is flimsy. However, it still held my tools adequately, so this weaker construction didn’t negatively affect usability.
The tools are: pet tool (great for hair), active dual brush (general), slim LED (hard floors), and then handheld crevice tools and a flex tool for hard-to-reach places. The pet tool is absolutely phenomenal at cleaning up ground-in hair, which I’ll discuss in full later. Even though the slim LED is intended for hard floors only, I found it worked really well on my low pile carpet. Finally, the active dual brush is the ideal all rounder: it was able to clean my low pile carpets and hard floors instantly.
As the vacuum easily converts into a handheld, I found it super versatile for cleaning my entire house. I could clean the carpeted areas and hard floors without needing to switch brush. I could reach into the crevices beside my fridge and under cupboards easily.
On the vacuum handle itself is a bright screen that shows you battery time, current cleaning power, and allows you to control cleaning mode. I found this screen very easy to use and helpful. It’ll alert you if there are any blockages, or if it’s powered up to a more intense cleaning mode.
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Smart home capabilities
I’m a little disillusioned with smart home at the moment (what do you mean, I need to download an app to use my hair dryer?), but the Bespoke Jet vacuum is perfect for smart home aficionados. As with other Samsung gear, it links up with the Smart Things app. I already have a Samsung washing machine, so watching my virtual house grow when I added this vacuum was pretty cute, I can’t lie.
Setting up the vacuum was easy: simply scan the QR code and you’re good to go. I named my vacuum cleaner (following the silly nomenclature trend of my washing machine’s moniker ‘Mayor Spinny’) and was good to go.
Smart Things is basically an easily-accessible control panel: no fiddling with tiny buttons on the vacuum itself (even though my experience with controls on the screen was fine). Here are a few screenshots of the Smart Things capabilities.
As you can see, there’s not really too much you can do on the Smart Things app. This could be because I have an iPhone, or it could be because, well, it’s a vacuum. Even so, I like being able to remote control emptying the dustbin.
Bizarrely, if you have a Samsung cellphone, you can receive calls to the vacuum cleaner. As I have an iPhone, this feature was a little beyond me, but I suppose it’s… nice to have if you like receiving calls on your vacuum?
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Cleaning capabilities
Samsung has some bold claims about this vacuum: it’s “the world’s most powerful stick vacuum”. And honestly? I believe it. There’s a reason you see a 5-star rating above.
The Bespoke Jet AI has an RPM of 148,000, compared to the Dyson Gen5Detect’s 135,000 and the Dyson V15s’s 125,000 RPM. The Bespoke Jet AI has something called a “HexaJet Motor”, which effectively means the vacuum can reach powers of up to 400W during cleaning. In reality? This translates to 100% clean floors almost instantly.
On top of using this vacuum as my main vacuum for over a week, I ran through Tom’s Guide’s standardized tests too.
Carpet cleaning
To test the Bespoke Jet AI’s ability to clean on carpet, I used hair, cat litter, and Cheerios on my medium-pile rug. For the hair, I used the Pet Tool, and for the other two I used the standard Active Dual Brush.
Item | Target clean | Actual clean |
|---|---|---|
Cat litter | 20g | 100% |
Cheerios | 20g | 100% |
Hair | One hair extension | 100% |
As you can see from these results, the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra utterly demolished these tasks. The Cheerios took just one pass to be completely cleaned up. I was shook. The hair took a few slow passes with the Pet Tool, but I had really ground the hair into the carpet.
Hard floor cleaning
This table below is the result of our cleaning tests repeated on hard floors rather than a thick pile carpet.
Item | Target clean | Actual clean |
|---|---|---|
Cat litter | 20g | 100% |
Cheerios | 20g | 100% |
Hair | One hair extension | 100% |
Again, the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra made light work of these tasks. As with above, I used the Pet Tool for the hair and the Active Dual Brush for the other two.
Volume
I use DecibelX to monitor volume. On AI mode (standard mode, basically), the Bespoke Jet AI ran at an average of 71dB, and topped out at 84dB in ‘Jet’ mode. This is 1dB quieter than the Dyson Gen5Detect’s max mode, and a faster RPM, so in actuality this means it’s a considerable degree quieter than the Dyson.
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Battery life
One of my favorite aspects of the Bespoke Jet AI is that it comes with two batteries. One battery has a max runtime of 100 minutes, and the other is 60 minutes. As with other vacuums, these ‘max runtimes’ are calculated in the lowest power mode. From fully charged, this is what the screen displayed as battery runtime.
Power | 60 minute battery |
|---|---|
Min | 42 |
AI | 24 |
Mid | 24 |
Max | 13 |
Jet | 14 |
I’ve not tested any vacuums that come with two batteries before. The Dyson V15s tops out at 60 minutes, the Dyson Gen5Detect 70 minutes, which puts the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra in pole position here.
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Storage & maintenance
As the Bespoke Jet AI is a self-emptying vacuum, there’s very little day-to-day maintenance required. Obviously you need to empty the cleaning station dustbin, but this holds 70 ounces so that will be a rare occurrence. Samsung provides 3 cleaning station bags in the Bespoke Jet AI box. Once these run out, Samsung sells 5 bags for $39.
It will depend on the size of your house, but I didn’t get anywhere close needing to empty the cleaning station bag during my 10-day testing.
As I only had this vacuum on a loan (whereas usually I get to keep vacuums for long-term testing, so I can say for certain that they hold up over time), I had to clean the vacuum and tools thoroughly before returning to Samsung. I can report that while removing the hair extensions from the pet tool was laborious, it was relatively straightforward to clean.
For those purchasing the Bespoke Jet AI for personal use, Samsung offers a 5-year warranty on the vacuum cleaner itself and a 2-year warranty on the batteries. You can purchase additional Jet AI batteries for a cringe-inducing $200.
Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra review: Verdict
Even though it’s expensive, sometimes good things just are expensive. And for once, I don’t mind that the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is over $1,000. The vacuum cleaner earns its price: it has a massive 100 minute battery (alongside a 60 minute battery too), it’s the most powerful vacuum I’ve ever used, and does all of that while being super lightweight too.
I have nothing bad to say about the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. I was scratching my head trying to think of cons, and nothing came to me. I loved everything about this vacuum during testing. It sucked up hair, cereal, cat litter, and everyday mess with ease, and made light work of both thick carpets and hardwood floors.
If I could keep one vacuum forever, it would be the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. The results are in: this is the best vacuum in the world.
