Robot vacuums that can also mop often struggle when it comes to stubborn stains on floors, but Samsung’s latest bot has a solution: the ability to superheat its mop heads before it scrubs.
First unveiled at CES 2024 and slated to ship soon, the Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI marks Samsung’s first combination robot vacuum and mop.
While the Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI was first announced earlier this year, Samsung is only now giving us pricing details, and–surprise!–it won’t be cheap.
This news story is part of TechHive’s in-depth coverage of the best robot vacuums.
Look for a $1,699.99 price tag, although Samsung’s retail site is currently showing a $300 discount for the robot, along with a June ship date.
A successor to Samsung’s JetBot AI+ from 2022, the Beskope Jet Bot Combo AI boasts an “upgraded” AI-powered object avoidance system that boosts the number of items that the bot can identify.
Equipped with dual rotating mop heads that spin at up to 170 rpm, the Jet Bot Combo AI’s base station boasts a three-stage “Total Cleaning System” that can auto-wash, steam clean, and auto-dry the mop pads.
Samsuing’s new robot vacuum and mop can either lift its mop heads when cleaning carpets or stow its mop pads in its base before cleaning high-pile rugs.

Even better, the robot can return to its base station after spotting a particularly stubborn stain, superheat its mop heads with high-temperature steam, and then return to the area to apply a thorough steam cleaning.
In another cool trick, the Jet Bot Combo AI can choose (with help from its AI Floor Detect feature) whether to raise its mop heads before rolling over low-pile carpet, or return to its base to stow the mop pads before cleaning your high-pile carpets. Neat.
The AI Floor Detect functionality can also reduce the vacuum’s suction while cleaning hard surfaces, ideal for preserving battery life.
Naturally, the Samsung Jet Bot Combo AI can map your floor layout, name your rooms, and suggest no-go zones.
We’ll have a full review of the Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI once we get our hands on a review unit.
