When to Choose Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra
No-compromise buyers who want the absolute best suction, runtime, and filtration regardless of price
The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is the most powerful cordless stick vacuum money can buy. With 400 AW suction, 100-minute runtime, and 99.999% filtration, it sets the benchmark — but only for those willing to pay the $1,100 premium.
Strengths
- Strongest suction in the category at 400 AW
- Longest runtime among premium models at 100 minutes
- Multi-layer filtration captures 99.999% of particles
- Full AI Jet system with auto-empty Clean Station
Limitations
- Most expensive vacuum in the category at $1,100
- Heavier at 6.2 lbs than lighter premium alternatives
- Overkill for small apartments or hard-floor-only homes
When to Choose Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty IP3251
Busy households that want hands-off maintenance with powerful auto-empty convenience
The Shark PowerDetect IP3251 pairs strong suction with a 45-day auto-empty dock for true set-and-forget convenience. The weight trade-off is real, but the hands-free maintenance is hard to beat at this price.
Strengths
- Auto-empty dock holds up to 45 days of debris
- PowerDetect technology auto-adjusts suction by floor type
- ~314 AW suction rivals premium competition
- DuoClean head tackles both hard floors and carpets
Limitations
- Heaviest vacuum in our roundup at ~8 lbs
- Bulky dock requires dedicated floor space
- Dock noise can be loud during auto-empty cycles
