Dyson who? The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is the final boss of vacuum cleaners
I hate cleaning. That's it — that's the article. I hate cleaning. So when I say that a vacuum cleaner makes me want to get up and start going ham on my carpets, you know it's serious. Finding the best vacuum cleaner can be as tedious as the act of cleaning itself. Personally? Cleaning is like my own personal hell. Every weekend I fill up my phone's Notes app with endless lists of cleaning tasks, and every weekend I wipe frustrated tears from my eyes as I tick off "Dust TV stand" and "Vacuum behind refrigerator". But not with the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. I got this vacuum in for review last week, and, ohmygosh, it's the best vacuum I've ever used. I was actually desperate for my apartment to grow a thick layer of dust so I could get the satisfaction of cleaning it all up. And I'll tell you why it's the best vacuum I've ever used. At just $899 currently, the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is even better value than it was before. This sale price of $899 means the Bespoke Jet AI is cheaper than the Dyson Gen5Detect, which has an RPM of 135,000 compared to the Samsung's 1480,000. Yes, really. Samsung's pretty wild claim that the Bespoke Jet AI Ultra vacuum is "the most powerful stick vacuum in the world" is, in my opinion, true. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra has a max RPM of 148,000, which is 13,000 faster than the strongest-suction vacuum I've ever used, the Dyson Gen5Detect. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra also has a "HexaJet Motor" which means it can reach powers of up to 400W during usage. In real terms, this means it's an incredibly powerful vacuum. Most sticks have three power modes: 'auto', 'min', and 'max'. The Bespoke Jet AI Ultra has five: 'AI', 'min', 'mid', 'max' and 'jet'. Jet is exactly what you think it is: it was able to clean trodden-in hair from my thick-pile rug (using the Pet Tool attachment I'll chat about later) in just a few seconds. While AI mode is only available with the Slim LED Brush or the Active Dual Brush, but I didn't find that negatively affected my usage at all. AI mode is kind of eco mode: it analyzes the floor and mess to reduce the power and save battery. But I know your interested was piqued with that Pet Tool attachment, so I'll get into all the cleaning tools now. I've tested vacuums before that have impressed me effortlessly, but I couldn't award them more than 4 stars as they weren't versatile enough to be a household's sole vacuum. The Gtech AirRAM 3 was one of those vacuums — incredibly powerful, but just not innovative enough to justify the cost. Thankfully, the $1,099 Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is as versatile as they come. The vacuum has a huge range of attachments: Pet Tool, Active Dual Brush, Slim LED Brush, and the usual range of handheld tools, plus a flex attachment. It's almost impossible to maintain cleanliness without a handheld vacuum. I don't know how I ever lived without one. For tasks like cleaning stairs, behind the sink in the bathroom, around the fridge, and baseboards, no other product can come close to using a handheld vac. Not only does it require the least amount of elbow grease, it's also faster than wiping with a cloth. If you want a stick-handheld vac combo but the $1,099 Samsung is too pricey, then I recommend the Ultenic U12 Vesla — I still have this vacuum and it's working perfectly almost a year after I got it. Like the best parts of a stick vacuum and a robot vacuum, the Samsung Bespoke AI Ultra vacuum has a self-cleaning station. While the vacuum itself has a dustbin of just 16 ounces, this isn't a problem as the cleaning station itself boasts an incredible 70 ounces. I didn't need to empty this once during my 10-day testing period. With the Samsung Smart Things app, you can even control the dustbin emptying from your phone. Drum roll, please, another wild Samsung claim incoming: you can receive phone calls to the Bespoke Jet AI vacuum. I couldn't test this as I have an iPhone, but Samsung cellphone users, could this persuade you into getting a Samsung-branded vacuum, too? Imagine answering calls from the doctor or your kid's teacher from the vacuum. ("Hello?" ... "Vvvshhhh!") I joke — answering phone calls on my vacuum is literally the bottom of my vacuum cleaner priorities. It's a good thing, then, that the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI actually does do everything that would be a priority. The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra vacuum has incredible cleaning capabilities, is super lightweight, and beyond easy to use. If I could only have one vacuum for the rest of my life, it would be this Samsung right here. And now that it's on sale for just $899, it rivals every vacuum on the market at the moment.

I've done the math, and the results are in — the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is 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. Price $1,099 / £1,199 Bin volume Vacuum: 16 ounces / Charging station: 70 ounces Max runtime 60 min / 100 min Battery charging time 210 min / 300 min Included batteries 2: 60 min / 100 min No. of tools 5 plus tool stand Filters HEPA Dimensions 11.8 x 33.5 x 11.8 inches Weight 14.1 pounds Bagged or bagless Bagless (vacuum), bagged (charging station) 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
