From dust to drops: Samsung's new Ultra robot vacuum detects liquids

Samsung's prestigious Ultra brand transitioned to vacuum cleaners earlier this year, when the company released the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra cordless stick model. We reviewed it not long ago, and it's surprisingly awesome. However, at IFA 2025 in Berlin, Samsung unveiled another Ultra-branded vacuum. And this one is an AI roaming robot rather than a cordless stick.

This new vacuum cleaner joins the existing Bespoke Jet Bot series. Samsung calls it Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra, making it the first-ever robot vacuum to bear the Ultra brand. What's so ultra about it? For one, it boasts cleverer object recognition.

Samsung hasn't really said a lot about the Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra at IFA 2025, which suggests that, for the most part, the new model might share most of its specifications with the existing Jet Bot Combo AI.

The main upgrade Samsung was keen to highlight at IFA 2025 in Berlin is an improved object recognition system. The company said the Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra was “upgraded with improved AI Object Recognition.”

The existing Jet Bot Combo AI already possesses a high degree of awareness and object recognition capabilities, but Samsung's new Jet Bot Steam Ultra can now detect liquids — even transparent ones.

Depending on user settings, the new Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra can mop or avoid areas containing liquids.

Last month, when Samsung first hinted at the Ultra robot vacuum, the company also mentioned that it boasts Diamond-level security based on Underwriters Laboratories' evaluation.

All in all, the Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra is bound to become the best Samsung robot vacuum to date, but as to when it will be available for purchase, that remains to be seen.

As of this writing, Samsung hasn't revealed any concrete launch and pricing details at IFA 2025, but we will keep an eye out and let you know as soon as we find out more. Stay tuned — Samsung's smartest robot vacuum yet might soon clean your living room.
