Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA)

Wins overall by 0.3 points
Quick Verdict
This is close. The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) edges ahead by 0.3 points, but that margin is inside the noise — the Dyson V15 Detect Plus is a defensible pick on its own terms. Real 240 air watts and a real laser — but 9 minutes on Boost and a trigger you must hold.

On Sustained Runtime, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads (6.5 vs 4.0/10) — how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. On Handling & Ergonomics, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads (7.5 vs 6.0/10) — weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. On Battery System, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads (8.5 vs 7.0/10) — removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. Overall, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) scores 7.9/10 across our 8 scoring categories versus 7.6/10 for the Dyson V15 Detect Plus, though the gap is close enough that your specific use case should decide it.

Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Dyson V15 Detect Plus | Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $599.99 | $847.00 |
| Release Year | 2021 | 2025 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld | Dry cordless stick vacuum with a bagged auto-empty Clean Station |
| Suction (as published) | 240 air watts. Dyson publishes air watts, the only one of the three common numbers that describes work done at the cleaning head | 400 air watts. Samsung publishes air watts, so this is directly comparable with Dyson's 240 AW rather than a Pa number |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 60 | 100✓ |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 9 | 16✓ |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Dyson's 'up to 60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool. TechGearLab measured 64 min on low and 9 min on Boost with the Digital Motorbar head fitted. Dyson publishes no per-mode table. | Samsung publishes the whole table instead of a single best case: 100 minutes on minimum, 49 on mid, 16 on max and 1 minute in Jet mode. The 100-minute headline is the lowest setting |
| Removable Battery | Yes — tool-free click-in battery; one included | Sources conflict: Samsung and RC Willey list the battery as removable, while Abt's spec sheet for the same SKU lists it as non-removable. One battery is included either way |
| Spare Battery | $99.99 for the genuine Dyson click-in pack (shared with V11, Outsize and V15s Submarine) | Not published by the manufacturer |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Wall-mounted docking station included; it must be screwed into a wall. No free-standing dock and no auto-empty base exists for this model | All-in-One Clean Station included — free-standing, charges, stores tools and auto-empties. Needs roughly 14 inches of floor width |
| Filtration | Whole-machine sealed filtration with a washable lifetime filter. Dyson's 99.99%-at-0.3-micron claim is stated for Boost mode | Multi-cyclonic with HEPA; Samsung claims 99.999% of fine dust captured. The station is bagged, so emptying never exposes you to the dust |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | 0.77 L bin. Point-and-shoot ejection drives the shroud down through the bin, so your hand never goes near the dust | 0.5 L on-board bin; 2 L bagged Clean Station, which Samsung says holds up to two months of debris |
| Weight (lbs) | 6.83✓ | 7 |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Filter is washable and has no replacement schedule — rinse monthly. Cleaner heads and brush bars are stocked as Dyson spares | The Clean Station uses disposable dust bags — three in the box, more must be bought, and that is the permanent running cost. On-board filters are washable |
| Warranty | 24 months | 24 months |
| Colors | Yellow/Nickel | Satin Black |

Suction Power
The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA) leads clearly here, 10.0 against 9.5 — a 0.5-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted.

Pros & Cons
Dyson V15 Detect Plus
Pros
- +240 air watts is a genuine cleaner-head figure, not a sealed-suction Pa number — only Samsung and Levoit publish anything comparable here
- +The laser head makes fine dust on hard floors visible, which changes how you clean rather than just how you feel about it
- +Whole-machine sealed filtration, so what the filter catches does not leak back out through the body
- +A genuine Dyson spare battery is $99.99 — less than half what Miele charges
Cons
- −You hold the trigger down for the entire clean; there is no latch. This is the single most common long-term Dyson complaint
- −Boost mode with the powered head lasts about 9 minutes — the '60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool
- −The dock is a wall bracket that needs drilling; there is no stand in the box and no auto-empty option at any price
- −$600 street and $850 list for a 0.77 L bin you still empty by hand
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra (VS90F40DMK/AA)
Pros
- +400 air watts, published in the same unit Dyson uses — the strongest honestly comparable number on this page
- +Samsung publishes a complete per-mode runtime table rather than one best case; almost nobody else in the category does
- +The bagged Clean Station empties the vacuum for you and keeps your hands out of the dust entirely
- +10-year motor warranty and full SmartThings integration
Cons
- −Jet mode — the setting that produces the 400 AW headline — runs for one minute
- −The Clean Station needs about 14 inches of floor width and is loud enough to be a problem near a bedroom
- −Bags are a permanent consumable; LG's rival tower is bagless
- −Street price has swung between roughly $500 and $1,100 within a year, and stock has been patchy at Best Buy, Samsung and Abt
