The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra was one of our favorite Samsung products in 2025, but we're starting to wonder if Samsung has any plans for a sequel. As a matter of fact, we've been keeping an eye on Samsung's vacuum strategy for the past year, and things are starting to look a little worrying.
There already is a precedent. Samsung stopped selling home appliances and TVs in China earlier this year due to aggressive pricing from domestic home appliance brands.
That decision took everyone by surprise. And with few rumors floating, it's hard to tell whether Samsung is thinking of a similar exit for its Bespoke vacuum lineup in other markets. Is Samsung planning another unwanted surprise?
Recently, we tried to find an answer, but what we uncovered is a little disheartening. We're beginning to seriously question if Samsung is indeed thinking of a restructuring, or worse. Here's what we've observed:
The way things are as of this writing points to two possible outcomes for Samsung's vacuum cleaner business:
The latter possibility was rumored earlier this summer, but some of us found it hard to believe. Now it seems more plausible, particularly because Samsung hasn't showcased any vacuums at IFA 2026 in September, despite the fact that the company had a whole area dedicated to “AI Living” and its connected ecosystem.
We will keep you posted if we find out more.
