Samsung Electronics’ robot vacuum, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI, has recently been verified to the ‘Diamond’ level for IoT security by UL Solutions. This announcement comes after the product’s initial reveal at CES 2024 in January. UL Solutions awards the ‘Diamond’ rating to devices that demonstrate the highest level of security against potential cyber threats. This rating involves comprehensive testing for the detection of malicious software, prevention of unauthorized access, and protection of user data.
The Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI is an advanced robot vacuum and mop combo featuring laser navigation, impressive obstacle avoidance, and an all-in-one self-maintenance station. It has two spinning mop pads that lift to avoid carpets or detach entirely during carpet cleaning. Strong suction, hot water mop cleaning, and rare steam-based sanitization enhance its performance. Navigation is thorough but can be slow due to lingering. The app includes pet detection and video calls, but it lacks corner-focused side brushes and a dirty water sensor. Despite a high price, it’s a strong choice for homes needing superior obstacle avoidance. See additional info
