Samsung has unveiled the Bespoke Jet AI, its most powerful cordless stick vacuum yet, in Singapore.

The Bespoke Jet AI has a suction power of up to 280W and has AI-based cleaning functionality and a self-emptying enhanced All-in-One Clean Station for a convenient and smart-cleaning solution for any home.

The vacuum has a single battery runtime of up to 100 minutes on a single charge, as its battery has 80% more capacity than the previous model.

The Bespoke Jet Premium Extra (Satin Black) variant also comes with an extra battery for a total runtime of 200 minutes when both batteries are used.

Advanced features

With AI Cleaning Mode, the Bespoke Jet AI identifies floor types such as carpets and wooden floors and automatically adjusts the suction power to maximize battery efficiency and cleaning.

Customers may also use the Slim LED Brush+ to make it easier for the vacuum to maneuver and navigate on different surfaces.

Meanwhile, the All-in-One Clean Station leverages Air Pulse technology to empty the dustbin for a quicker turnaround, shutting its cover automatically after every disposal to trap up to 99.99% fine dust.

The new vacuum features the latest Air Spin Edge technology as well, which rotates the Spinning Cyclone at 1,000 RPM to remove 99% of hair.

Moreover, the Spray Spinning Sweeper allows the vacuum to manually dispense additional water which helps clean surfaces with the tool’s microfiber pads.

Additional accessories

Users may also add more accessories for a more thorough clean. The Combination Tool features a small brush at the end suitable for upholstery and keyboards, while the Crevice Tool reaches tight corners and narrow areas.

Lastly, the Flex Tool can bend up to 90 degrees to clean hard-to-reach places like tops of cabinets or shelves.

These can all be stored in the Accessory Cradle in a neat and organized manner.

The new Samsung Bespoke Jet AI is now available online via the Samsung Online Store and selected electronic stores for the following prices:

Bespoke Jet AI – Satin Greige: SG$ 1,399
