Samsung brings the 19.5kg Bespoke AI Laundry Combo to Australia. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.Samsung Australia has today announced the local availability of its ultra-large capacity 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, introducing Samsung’s largest capacity all-in-one washer and dryer to Australian homes. The refreshed one-stop laundry solution combines a 19.5kg smart washer and 10kg heat-pump dryer and provides an upgrade to Samsung’s all-in-one laundry range that supports more comfortable lifestyles by eliminating the need to transfer laundry between separate machines.

Featuring an upgraded AI Wash & Dry + cycle, 10 Star Energy Rating Hybrid Heat Pump drying performance[1], and a 68 minute Super Speed cycle[2], the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is designed to help Australian households unlock time and energy savings, while delivering a more convenient connected home experience[3].

“At Samsung, we’re focused on developing intelligent home appliances that respond to the real needs of Australian households,” said Phil Gaut, Director – Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia. “Our insights show that a third of Australians complete three or more loads of laundry each week, with washing demands expected to increase during the cooler months[4]. That’s why features designed to make everyday life easier are becoming increasingly important, from Auto Open Door+, which helps reduce lingering odours after a wash cycle, to hands-free Bixby voice commands that let users keep managing chores while multitasking, and AI Energy Mode, which can help reduce unnecessary household energy costs.

“The new Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is designed to help ease household pressures by combining fast wash-to-dry cycles, intelligent energy optimisation, and ultra-large capacity in one connected appliance, helping Australians spend less time on laundry and more time doing what they love.”

Faster Full Cycles, Enhanced Drying and Smarter Care

Following the debut of the 2024 Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo, the 2026 ultra-large capacity Bespoke AI Laundry Combo brings fresh upgrades that shorten wash-to-dry cycles and enhance drying performance. Under certain conditions, the Super Speed cycle can complete a full wash-to-dry cycle in 68 minutes, helping Australians reduce total laundry time without compromising performance[5].

Super Speed leverages a high-pressure Speed Spray and Swirl+ Drum that helps detergent penetration and rinsing to enable fast and efficient washing, while the newly incorporated Booster Heat Exchanger delivers drying performance using Heat Pump technology.

To promote smarter care, AI Energy Mode via SmartThings[6] helps the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo consume up to 20% less energy during the wash cycle and up to 10% less energy during the dry cycle when compared to using the same cycle without AI Energy Mode[7]. By using the SmartThings App[8] Australians can also easily monitor energy consumption in real-time, provide an estimated electricity bill, and alert users if the estimated usage exceeds pre-set consumption targets.

Upgraded AI Wash & Dry + Enables More Precise, Automatic Optimisation

At the core of the all-in-one experience, the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo integrates AI Wash & Dry +[9], upgrading the intelligence that supports smart optimisation of washing & drying. Using enhanced sensing and AI-based analysis, AI Wash & Dry + uses multiple sensors to optimise performance for each load. It detects the weight to determine the right amount of water and detergent, identifies five fabric types for smaller laundry loads[10] – including Outdoor and Denim – and monitors soil levels in real time to adjust the cycle for better results with less manual input.

The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also features Auto Open Door+[11], which not only automatically opens the door, but also activates internal air circulation[12] after wash-only cycles to help prevent laundry left in the drum from developing a musty odour.

A More Advanced Bixby Brings Natural, Conversational Control to the Home

The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also features a more advanced Bixby[13] experience. Since 2024, Bixby has enabled Bespoke Combo users to monitor and control connected Samsung devices directly from its AI Home Touchscreen display[14], helping families handle everyday routines across the home. While loading laundry, a user could say, “turn on the TV in the living room” without needing to leave the laundry area.

Now, with improved understanding capabilities, Bixby goes beyond fixed commands to understand natural, conversational requests. For example, users can simply say, “can you wash this before 11pm?” or “start a normal wash, but add an extra rinse,” and Bixby will carry out the request.

Supporting Bespoke AI Combo’s favourite features

The 2026 Bespoke AI Combo is packed with popular Samsung laundry features including Flex Auto Dispense which holds enough detergent and softener for up to 22 loads,[15] BubbleWash and BubbleSoak for efficient cleaning even at low temperatures, and Samsung’s Less Microfiber Laundry cycle which minimises garment agitation to help reduce the amount of microfibers released[16].

Backed by Samsung’s 7-year commitment to software updates on flagship products,[17] the 2026 Bespoke AI Combo will stay up to date with the latest features, performance improvements, system upgrades and enhanced security, keeping it reliable, valuable and future-ready for years to come. The 2026 model is protected by Knox technology to keep data safe and has received the highest Diamond level IoT Rating[18] by UL Solutions[19], while being supported by Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM)[20] enables remote troubleshooting to resolve problems without a service visit. The culmination of these features enables Australians to experience less downtime and long-lasting reliability from Samsung.

Availability

The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is currently available via the Samsung online store and leading retailers nationwide with an RRP $4,999.
