[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best vacuum robot I've ever had. Easy to operate and works very efficiently. My kids love how the robot talked and if he gets stuck (what's not happening often) asking very polite to pls assisting to finde back home :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a Samsung fan I bought this hoping it was a quality product like their TV's and phones. After using a few months I'm very happy with the product. The only complaint I have is it lost the Smart Things Wi-Fi connection and I had reset the connection as if it was a new product. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing how well the vac accurately maps the entire house (single story), always knows where it is and cleans in an organized pattern. We have a "dumb" robo vac in another house. It does a good job but randomly wanders around. The Jet Bot literally sees the room, then proceeds to go back and forth vacuuming as you would. It sees all furniture (and other objects on the floor) and maps to go around them. Rarely bumps into things. When creating the map, first pick everything off the floor, shoes, pets, etc. Otherwise, it will think these are permanent things and map around them. After the map is created if it sees a new random object on the floor (like a pet) it will go around the object. Once the map is built the first time you use the vac, it stores the map. Then you use the map displayed on your phone using Smart Things app to select which rooms to clean. Your phone is the control ... no remote and only an on off button on the vac. It is very accurate as it moves around the house, even finding its way under each dining room chair and back out with ease. We have it set to clean the room then go back and clean around the edges of the room. It also talks to you, telling what it is about to do. It never gets lost and always finds its way directly back to its home. Our floors are all hard surfaces. It does a great job cleaning. We have some throw rugs which we must pick up or it just pushes them and can get stuck (the side spinning brush gets under the throw rug). As for noise, it sounds typical for a robo vac. When it returns home and empties into the home station, that vacuum is loud and sounds powerful. The app on the phone is pretty good. You can start it when you are not home and track its progress on your phone. If it does run into a problem (gets stuck on a throw rug) it will ask for help, but if no one responds it will shut down until it is rescued. Our house is 2,000 sq ft and it has just enough power to clean the entire house on a single charge. But if it does sense it is running low on battery it goes home, then finishes where it left off after charging.
This is a terrible vacuum. When the engineers designed this with the cliff sensors, I guess they assumed everybody in America lives in at least a two-story house. You would think they would include a way to turn off the cliff sensors if you live in a one story house. I have some Persian style rugs with designs on them with a lot of black and the vacuum thinks that the black spots are cliffs and it won't vacuum it and it just gets stuck there and doesn't move. It's in the middle of another rug just a blue rug and it thinks some areas of that rug are objects it has to avoid because it doesn't vacuum the whole thing. Even though it's set to the low furniture setting it won't clean under my bed. Sometimes it can find its way back to the docking station and sometimes I have to physically put it in there because it can't climb up in there. Who designed this? Were they drunk? An absolute waste of money. A completely useless poorly engineered device. Why can't you turn off the cliff sensors? My old Samsung allowed me to put electrical tape over the cliff sensors. Can't do that with this one. Stupid useless vacuum.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Brand-new appliances can be challenging to use. Let us get the vacuum working efficiently.
Please follow the steps in "Using the Jet Bot" section on pages 20-24 of the user's manual to help you set up the vacuum before operating it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good looking, but a broom design that I don't feel does a good job of cleaning the floor. The design of automatically collecting dust is good
