Samsung Electronics has officially launched its new all-in-one washer dryer, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™, for the Southeast Asian market. Unveiled at the 2024 Tech Forum, this appliance uses artificial intelligence to offer a smarter, more efficient, and convenient laundry experience. It aims to transform how households in the region manage their laundry by saving time, energy, and costs.
AI Takes the Guesswork out of Laundry
The new Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is designed to make laundry day simpler and more effective. Its core feature is the AI Wash & Dry function, which uses advanced sensors to automatically detect the load’s weight, fabric type, and level of dirt. This allows the machine to adjust the water, detergent, and cycle time for the best possible results.
This intelligent system ensures that clothes are cleaned thoroughly without unnecessary wear and tear. By customising each cycle, the appliance prevents damage to delicate fabrics while effectively tackling tough stains on more durable materials. This hands-off approach gives users peace of mind, knowing their clothes are receiving optimal care.
| Feature | How It Helps You |
|---|---|
| AI Wash & Dry | Automatically sets the right cycle for your clothes. |
| Advanced Sensors | Detects fabric, weight, and dirt to save resources. |
| Heat Pump Technology | Gently dries clothes while using less electricity. |
Impressive Energy Efficiency and Smart Control
Samsung has placed a strong emphasis on sustainability and cost savings with this new model. The appliance features heat pump technology, which recycles hot air to dry clothes more efficiently than traditional heating elements. This method is not only gentler on fabrics but also significantly reduces energy consumption.
Further enhancing its efficiency is the AI Energy Mode, accessible through the SmartThings app. When activated, this mode can reduce energy use by up to 60% during the wash cycle and 30% during the dry cycle. This leads to noticeable savings on monthly electricity bills without compromising performance.
The SmartThings app also provides a new level of convenience. Users can:
- Start, pause, and monitor laundry cycles remotely.
- Receive notifications when a load is complete.
- Track the appliance’s energy consumption over time.
This connectivity puts full control of the laundry process directly into the user’s hands, from anywhere with an internet connection.
Designed for the Demands of Modern Life
Understanding the needs of busy families and professionals, Samsung equipped the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ with a massive 25kg capacity. This allows users to wash and dry large loads, such as bulky bedding or a week’s worth of clothes, in a single cycle.
This large capacity is a practical solution that saves valuable time and reduces the frequency of doing laundry. Instead of running multiple smaller loads, households can complete their laundry chores more quickly, freeing up more time for other activities. It’s a smart design choice for a fast-paced, modern lifestyle.
Samsung’s Vision for AI in the Home
The launch of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is part of Samsung’s broader strategy to integrate AI into everyday home appliances. During the event, Daren Tay, a regional VP for Samsung, highlighted this commitment.
Tay stated, “We are redefining what is possible in the home, and by harnessing the power of AI, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ empowers consumers with smarter, more efficient solutions.” This indicates a future where home appliances are not just tools but intelligent partners that simplify daily routines and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
