It is also possible to schedule cleaning times by using the app. The only downside we found with this robot is that it takes a bit longer to charge than the other models that we've examined, and that the two hand vac attachments can't fit into the base and can be lost easily.

Then, it either navigates around them or labels them as a no-go zone on the map. This feature isn't available on other robots and makes the Samsung an extremely safe option for your home.
On the contrary this model doesn't perform very well on spot cleaning. We tried it out by scattering rice grains across low-pile carpet and sending the robot in to clean. The machine was unable to move or pick up the rice grains. This is a disappointing test considering that other models have done better in this test.
It's also worth mentioning that the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ is a little pricey in comparison to its rivals. Other robotic vacuums provide similar performance for a lower cost. Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, for example is a top-rated robot vacuum that has the same features at a fraction of the cost.
