Many customers also loved the fact that this robot can be controlled by Alexa. The vacuum can be turned on and off by simply speaking.

On the contrary, this model doesn't do very well at spot cleaning. We tried it by scattering rice particles on carpets with low pile and sending the robot to clean. The Robot Vacuum Black Friday did a poor job of moving the rice grains around, and did not take any of them. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have performed better in this test.

It's also worth noting that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar quality and performance at a lower cost.
