<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/washers-and-dryers/washer-dryer-combo/wd90h27-combo-all-in-one-19-5kg-dark-gray-wd90h19ahssa/?srsltid=AfmBOoortbR8LQWuw5gVxWQi7QfghmMlMVr__h401dqXONk9lzoZTvUJ">2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo</a></span>, 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Featuring an upgraded AI Wash &amp; Dry + cycle, 10 Star Energy Rating Hybrid Heat Pump drying performance<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, and a 68 minute Super Speed cycle<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>, 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<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“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<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a>. 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Faster Full Cycles, Enhanced Drying and Smarter Care </u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the debut of the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-launches-bespoke-ai-heat-pump-combo-an-innovative-all-in-one-laundry-solution">2024 Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo</a></span>, 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<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To promote smarter care, AI Energy Mode via SmartThings<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a> 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<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a>. By using the SmartThings App<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7900" style="width: 855px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7900" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WD90H19AHSSA_001_Front_Dark-Steel-845x563.png" alt="" width="845" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bespoke AI Laundry Combo (WD90H19AHSSA) now available in Australia.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Upgraded AI Wash &amp; Dry + Enables More Precise, Automatic Optimisation</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the core of the all-in-one experience, the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo integrates AI Wash &amp; Dry +<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a>, upgrading the intelligence that supports smart optimisation of washing &amp; drying. Using enhanced sensing and AI-based analysis, AI Wash &amp; 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<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a> &#8211; including Outdoor and Denim &#8211; and monitors soil levels in real time to adjust the cycle for better results with less manual input.</p>
<p>The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also features Auto Open Door+<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a>, which not only automatically opens the door, but also activates internal air circulation<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a> after wash-only cycles to help prevent laundry left in the drum from developing a musty odour.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><u>A More Advanced Bixby Brings Natural, Conversational Control to the Home</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also features a more advanced Bixby<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> experience. Since 2024, Bixby has enabled Bespoke Combo users to monitor and control connected Samsung devices directly from its AI Home Touchscreen display<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a>, 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Supporting Bespoke AI Combo’s favourite features</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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,<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a> BubbleWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and BubbleSoak<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 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<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Backed by Samsung’s 7-year commitment to software updates on flagship products,<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a> 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<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span>[18]</span></a> by UL Solutions<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a>, while being supported by Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM)<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span>[20]</span></a> 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.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Availability</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is currently available via the Samsung online store and leading retailers nationwide with an RRP $4,999.</p>

<p>Currently in its sixth year, Finder’s Customer Satisfaction Awards is among the most comprehensive consumer recognition programs in Australia, surveying over 60,000 Australians about products and brands they use everyday. In asking consumers to rank brands against the survey metrics, the program recognises brands that best meet consumer expectations with the purpose of helping more Australians make smarter, more confident purchasing decisions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rachel Carter, Head of Department- Home Appliances, Samsung Australia says the abundance of 2025 Finder Customer Satisfaction awards reflects Samsung’s relentless commitment to driving product innovation, performance, value and reliability through security, connectivity and intelligence across every home appliance product category.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung is a consumer-centric business, drawing on a deep understanding of what consumers are looking for to build appliances that will drive long-term value and enable better living at home for years to come,” said Ms. Carter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We’re incredibly honoured to be recognised by tens of thousands of Australian consumers so directly via the Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards. Our range of powerfully performing whitegoods are designed to be powerful individually and extraordinary as part of a connected ecosystem of products, working together to unlock efficiencies and with ease to help you move through your day effortlessly. We’re proud that our 2025 range does all this and more.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, said the Awards celebrate the brands that Aussies can count on to deliver quality, performance, and value.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Appliances and tech are a significant investment for households, and with so many options available, it can be hard to know which brands consistently deliver. The Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards reflect real-world experiences from thousands of Australians, giving shoppers a clear picture of the products that truly perform.”</p>

<p>Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K QN900F is the first Samsung TV to combine Samsung’s 8K picture and sound quality with a premium art experience via the Samsung Art Store<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. Featuring anti-glare technology<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>, a refined Metal Frame Design and Advanced Vision AI, the QN900F offers Australians a sophisticated blend of elevated design and ultra-premium performance. Building on the success of The Frame, this new Mini LED 8K TV fills a gap in the market for those seeking gallery style aesthetics with cutting-edge picture and sound, automatically adapting to user preferences for a truly immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of the <strong>Neo QLED 8K QN900F Samsung Vision AI Smart TV</strong>, the Good Design Award jury said: “Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K QN900F is the first Samsung TV to combine Samsung’s 8K picture and sound quality with a premium art experience via the Samsung Art Store. The Jury really loves the frame design &#8211; congratulations on bringing such a thoughtful product to life. It’s been a long wait for the next evolution of the Frame TV, and this one delivers. The versatility is a standout feature, from the multiple display options to the way it integrates beautifully into designer interiors or homes where a traditional black screen might feel intrusive or unnecessary. It&#8217;s a nice premium product and the design embodies an array of technical innovations and incorporates them in a very compelling, humanistic and engaging user experience story. From Hardware (minimal and modern design and mounting), and materials  to the offering of art (art store) that can be displayed &#8211; this is a smashing piece of design and technology. The product design proves that having the consumer in mind, technical innovation can elevate the user experience and product value.”</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of the <strong>Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo</strong>, the Good Design Award jury said:  “The Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo is an all-in-one, ultra-large 18.5kg smart washer with a 10kg smart heat-pump dryer. It is designed for large families to wash and dry clothes without the need to transfer between two machines, saving time, and helping transform laundry day into a seamless experience. The execution of the UI panel looks elegant, discreet, minimal and feels right for this type of product. Care and attention to detail on user touchpoints is a big plus. Good translation of user insights into useful product features. The product presents a strong minimalist design aesthetic, which effectively communicates ease of use and suggests an experience where much of the cognitive load is handled by the system removing guesswork for the user. The large, clear screen and interface are promising. Overall, a well resolved and thoughtfully integrated product for modern households, combining two appliances into one to save time, space, and effort. Strong emphasis on energy efficiency and smart monitoring aligns with evolving user values. Commendable sustainability steps. This project truly sets a high benchmark for the Domestic Appliance category and the Samsung Design Team should be congratulated here.”</p>
