This is where Samsung’s revolutionary AirDresser comes in. The Samsung AirDresser is a garment refreshing device that provides users with effective and efficient care for their personal belongings. Check out the infographic below to learn more about the Samsung AirDresser and just what exactly it can do for you.

Enter the Samsung AirDresser, which makes it easier than ever before to manage specialty and delicate clothing items right from home. Delivering deodorization, pollutant removal, wrinkle care and drying functions in a sleek plug-in device, the AirDresser allows you to keep your clothing, accessories and fabric items in top condition while cutting down on trips to the dry cleaner.

Run the ‘Delicates cycle’ for materials like chiffon and lace, or for more precise care look to the ‘Special cycles’, which are customized for items like down jackets, outdoor wear, and school uniforms. Not sure how to take care of your ties or your child’s first birthday dress? Leave it to the AirDresser.

And the AirDresser has a lot to offer beyond specialty garment care for every household, including a ‘Sanitize cycle’ that uses high-powered steam to remove germs and allergens from items like bedding and babywear. So how did this new device come about? Samsung Newsroom sat down with Chul-Kie Park and YunKyung Kim from the Living Product Planning Group at Samsung Electronics’ Digital Appliances Business to hear the story behind the AirDresser and how it is reimagining garment care for various types of lifestyles.

Q. What brought about the development of the AirDresser? What were some important considerations regarding its development?

Chul-Kie Park: Today people are bringing more aspects of their lives into their homes. Consumers can now make restaurant-quality meals in their own kitchens and work out at home like they’re exercising with professional trainers. However, until now, this convenience had not spread to the area of clothing care. People still had to take their delicate and specialty clothing items to professional cleaners – trips which are often onerous and expensive. Consumers across the globe also have increasingly high standards for personal hygiene these days, meaning that demand is high for a quick and easy solution that can remove pollutants from clothes that have been worn outdoors.

To answer this call, we developed a device that is both powerful and easy to use. With the AirDresser users just need to fill the water tank and plug the product into a standard electrical outlet to begin refreshing their clothes inside and out. The powerful, high-temperature steam produced by the AirDresser enables the solution’s ‘Sanitize cycle’, which eliminates 99.9% of certain types of bacteria¹ and helps prevent pollutants from the outdoors from compromising your home environment. And to make things even easier, the ‘Self Clean’ function minimizes the need for hands-on cleaning.

Q. How do you predict the AirDresser will come to positively impact consumers’ lives?

YunKyung Kim: The AirDresser makes it simple to refresh clothes at home, at any time. With this advanced device, users no longer have to shy away from buying or cleaning clothes that are made from specialty materials like leather, as the AirDresser provides customized care for a range of sensitive materials. For frequently worn items like school uniforms and coats, consumers can make a habit of hanging their clothes up in the AirDresser as soon as they get home. By the next day, their garments will all be refreshed and ready to be worn again.

Chul-Kie Park: The Sanitize Cycle was a particular draw for DINK (double income, no kids) couples who wear business attire to work, have busy schedules, and are also very health-conscious. But even beyond that, the AirDresser has a wide range of features and services to suit users in all stages of life. For families with young children, for instance, the AirDresser offers cycles that are designed to care for soft toys, bedding and babywear.

Q: What special features and capabilities set the AirDresser apart?

YunKyung Kim: My personal favorite is the ‘Inner Fabric Care’ capability. This function sends powerful air through the inside of your garments using the AirDresser’s specialized ‘Air hanger,’ refreshing each garment inside and out. This allows the product to remove unseen bacteria and odors from the parts of your clothing that actually make contact with your skin.

‘Air hanger’ allows for the removal of creases from garments like shirts and jackets.

‘Care Recipe’ is another feature worth noting. Accessible through the SmartThings smartphone app, users can select their fabric and garment type and receive tailored cycle recommendations. The ‘Standard cycle’ is often sufficient for everyday garments, but the ‘Care Recipe’ feature can really go a long way toward making your specialty items last longer.

You can download additional cycles from the SmartThings app. (*App subject to change without prior notice)

Chul-Kie Park: Some other SmartThings features I like are ‘My Closet’, ‘Special Course’ and ‘Home Care’. While ‘My Closet’ stores details for each item and suggests courses for them, ‘Special Course’ allows you to download and store cycles, while ‘Home Care’ remotely identifies problems and provides troubleshooting services.

But this is only the beginning. With the AirDresser, users can access their frequently selected cycles and tailor cycles based on seasonal needs, ensuring that they always have a clothing care system to match their specific circumstances. And to top it all off, the AirDresser is a beautifully designed device that runs discreetly and quietly, making it an excellent complement to your home environment.

Q: Why was now the time for the AirDresser?

YunKyung Kim: Since the introduction of electronic washing machines and dryers, the world of clothing maintenance has been waiting for the next big leap forward. The AirDresser is just that, refreshing and deodorizing using just air and steam. I expect that the AirDresser will go on to become an essential home appliance just like the washing machine and dryer.

The AirDresser is also important because it empowers consumers to care for their garments on their own terms. Whether your main concern is your kids’ soccer uniforms or tailored suits – whether you do laundry once a week or thrice a week, the AirDresser is a great complement to your routine that offers daily freshness for your entire wardrobe, whenever you need it.

These special items generally can’t be washed in the washing machine, while taking them to the dry cleaner on a frequent basis can prove expensive and time-consuming. In the face of these issues, Samsung is delivering a solution that is bringing about a new era of garment care.

Released in a range of territories in 2020, the Samsung AirDresser delivers a range of clothing care solutions to ensure that your garments are kept in tip-top shape. Whether you need to make sure your suits always look pressed for work, ensure your chiffon dress is steamed and sanitized in a delicate manner or refresh your kids’ uniforms in a pinch, the AirDresser has your back.

Using powerful air and steam to remove odors, relax wrinkles, refresh and dry your clothes, the AirDresser brings truly comprehensive clothing care to the home environment, all in a sleek, appealing package. What’s more, Samsung’s AirDresser is suitable for a wide range of users, delivers proven benefits in all seasons and boasts a range of smart features to make maintaining your clothes more convenient than ever before.

Below, we outline the expansive range of features that the AirDresser is delivering to consumers as Samsung brings powerful performance to clothing care.

Comprehensive Revitalization and Drying With a Touch of Fragrance

For consumers with busy lifestyles, ensuring that their clothes are fresh and ready to take out and wear when needed is very important. Thankfully, the Samsung AirDresser has them covered. In addition to refreshing clothes with the JetSteam and JetAir features, the AirDresser offers powerful deodorization for your clothing. Able to comprehensively break down and separate odor-causing particles from clothes (including 99% of sweat and smoke odors¹), the AirDresser leaves clothes fresh and odor-free. Check out the video below to see just how the AirDresser’s innovative JetSteam feature thoroughly cleanses your clothing.

And once your clothes are refreshed, the AirDresser ensures that your garments are comprehensively dried and ready to be taken out and worn. While the AirDresser’s HeatPump Drying technology administers gentle and cost-effective drying, the solution’s Upper JetAir technology combines with the Lower HeatPump to employ air circulation that reduces damage and shrinkage to clothing. What’s more, once your clothes are fresh and dry, the AirDresser’s Fragrance Kit feature provides you with the option to add a perfume of your choosing to your clothing.²

Making Wrinkly, Contaminated Clothing a Thing of the Past

With AirDresser, untidy wrinkles in your clothing become a distant memory. In addition to treating garments with powerful steam that smoothes out wrinkles, the AirDresser employs a weight kit system that helps to relax wrinkles in your garments from top to bottom. Independent testing by Intertek has shown that the use of Samsung AirDresser leads to 100% of wrinkles being removed from woolen garments and approximately 80% being removed from rayon items.³

More pollutants cling to our clothes than we realize. Fortunately, Samsung’s AirDresser employs a number of methods to thoroughly refresh your clothing inside and out. These include the Air Hangers, which disperse air through the hangers that your garments are hung on to revitalize your clothing from the inside. Meanwhile, the JetAir feature treats your clothing with air from both the top and bottom to ensure that no patch of fabric is missed. And the AirDresser does this all quietly and discreetly, delivering comprehensive clothing rejuvenation with minimal noise and vibration. Take a look at the video below to see how JetAir and AirHanger technology combine to revitalize your garments.

Smart Control for Ease of Use

And best of all, the AirDresser’s host of powerful features are now accessible wherever you are with the Samsung SmartThings app.⁴ Features accessible through SmartThings include ‘Care Recipe’, which recommends cycles according to your clothing’s fabric type, ‘My Closet’, which allows you to manage your garment list and usage history and ‘Cycle Management’, through which you can download and add new cycles to your AirDresser’s repertoire. With SmartThings you can get cycle recommendations for a wide range of different fabric types, receive diagnoses from the AirDresser itself if the product encounters a problem and even utilize Bixby to control your AirDresser remotely with voice commands.⁵ Watch the video below to find out just how SmartThings is complementing the use of the AirDresser with intelligent usability.

As the world continues to change, and users increasingly demand more of their home environments, top-notch clothing care remains a priority for consumers everywhere.
