During the rainy season and sweltering summer heat, Samsung Electronics’ latest all-in-one washer-dryer becomes a household essential. With the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo,¹ users can enjoy fresh, dry clothes every day. The 2025 model boasts the largest capacity available in Korea — 25 kilograms for washing and 18 kilograms for drying² — along with a 79-minute Super Speed cycle³ enhanced by AI-powered functions.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is making waves with its thoughtful, user-centric features, further cementing Samsung’s leadership in home appliances. Samsung Newsroom takes a closer look at the subtle yet impactful details that set this model apart.

No More Shrinkage With the Magic 60°C

Anyone who has experienced heat-damaged or shrunken clothes knows the risks of high drying temperatures. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo addresses this concern by keeping internal temperatures below 60°C,⁴ helping fabrics retain their original shape.

▲ The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo ensures that the internal temperature stays below 60°C, reducing the risk of fabric damage and shrinkage.

AI detects the weight of each load and precisely adjusts the temperature — raising it for smaller loads to save time and lowering it for larger ones to ensure even drying. This prevents common issues like clothes feeling dry on the outside but remaining damp inside.

Hassle-Free Heat Exchanger Maintenance With Auto Cleaning

As a key component of the drying systems, the heat exchanger requires regular cleaning to prevent reduced performance. The Auto Condenser Cleaning⁵ feature takes care of this maintenance by spraying high-pressure water before each drying cycle, clearing out dust to maintain smooth operation.

▲ The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo has the Auto Condenser Cleaning feature that automatically cleans the heat exchanger.

By eliminating buildup in advance, the feature helps ensure optimal drying — especially useful during summer when laundry loads are more frequent. Users can also clean the heat exchanger manually if needed.

Designed To Minimize Dust

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also helps minimize dust accumulation. By reducing airflow resistance in the duct and using a powerful fan, the machine generates strong air currents that effectively remove dust from fabrics. The back of the unit features multiple vents that allow dust to escape quickly, cutting down on residual particles.

A Laundry Machine That Keeps Evolving

Samsung continues to lead in AI-powered home appliances that evolve through regular software updates. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is no exception — last year’s model continues to receive ongoing upgrades to improve both functionality and performance.

One notable update is the lint filter⁶ cleaning reminder, alerting users to clear out dust and debris collected during the wash and dry cycles. Previously, users had to check the filter manually. Starting this year, the machine automatically detects filter blockage levels and sends notifications for easier, more intuitive maintenance.

Fresh, Odor-Free Laundry After Every Cycle

▲ The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo has the Auto Open Door+ feature that automatically opens the door to activate airflow and reduce internal moisture.

Unable to unload laundry right after a cycle ends? The Auto Open Door+ feature helps by automatically opening the door once the cycle finishes, releasing heat and humidity from inside the machine. After a wash-only cycle, this function activates airflow once the door opens — reducing internal moisture by up to 40%.⁷

⁴ Based on internal test results from August 2018, verified by the Korea Apparel Testing & Research Institute (KATRI). Drying at a maximum temperature of 60°C resulted in half the shrinkage compared to drying at 70°C. Shrinkage was measured after two hours of exposure at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C. Test samples were composed of 84% nylon and 16% polyurethane. Results may vary depending on actual usage conditions.
⁵ The Auto Condenser Cleaning feature activates after the wash cycle and before the dry cycle in wash-and-dry programs. The function does not activate during wash-only cycles or if the drying time is under one hour. Cleaning of the heat exchanger is recommended every 180 cycles. Other internal components may also affect overall performance.

Measurement based on a 10° door opening angle.

Designed to boost convenience and make smarter use of time and space, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is reshaping daily life. Samsung Newsroom took an inside look at how that transformation is taking place and why.

Wash and Dry in One Go — A Simpler Routine for Better Living

According to a Samsung survey³ of 206 buyers in Korea who purchased all-in-one washer-dryers released in 2024, respondents cited the following top reasons for their purchase — no laundry transfer needed (23%), saving space (21%), single installation for both washing and drying (12%), and one-step operation from wash to dry (11%).

As laundry becomes simpler and more convenient, how and when people do it is evolving. Compared to before purchasing all-in-one models, people are washing their clothes more frequently. Dual-income households, in particular, are increasingly doing their laundry on weeknights after work.

As washing and drying are completed in a single automated cycle, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo allows users to simply load their clothes, press start and walk away. There’s no need to wait around or manually move wet clothes to a separate dryer. Furthermore, the Auto Open Door feature even opens the door automatically once drying is complete, releasing moisture quickly and enhancing hygiene and convenience.

Simple Setup, Smarter Use of Space and AI-Optimized Cycles

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also offers improved space efficiency and greater flexibility in installation. Unlike conventional setups that require separate space for both washer and dryer units, the all-in-one unit reduces spatial demand by around 40%,⁴ with no need to stack two machines or place them side-by-side. Its lower height also allows for extra shelving in laundry or utility rooms.

▲ The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo reduces spatial demand by around 40% compared to conventional washer and dryer setups.

In addition, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo’s AI-powered features significantly boost efficiency. AI Wash & Dry⁵ automatically selects the best wash and dry settings based on weight, fabric type and soil level, removing the need for manual configuration.

In the survey, customers in Korea expressed high satisfaction⁶ with features like the Flex Auto Dispense System⁷ (91%) and AI Energy Mode⁸ (89%). The Flex Auto Dispense System adjusts the detergent amount to suit the load of laundry when detergent is pre-filled in the compartment, reducing maintenance hassle and preventing overuse or underuse of detergent, which is a common issue with conventional washing machines.

Energy efficiency has also improved, as the 2025 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo consumes 45% less electricity per kilogram than the minimum required for top-rated front-load washers in Korea.⁹ With AI Energy Mode, users can reduce energy consumption by up to 60% without compromising performance.¹⁰

Samsung continues to drive the popularization of all-in-one washer-dryers by introducing products with industry-leading drying capacity.¹¹ The 2025 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo increases capacity by 3kg to a total of 18kg, while reducing drying time by 20 minutes to complete a full wash-and-dry cycle in as little as 79 minutes.¹²

“We are committed to introducing more products like the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo that bring meaningful changes to users’ daily lives,” said Jong-Hun Sung, Vice President and Head of Clothing Care R&D Group at Digital Appliances (DA) Business, Samsung Electronics. “With our innovative technology and focus on personalized user experiences, we aim to open a new chapter in home appliances.”

As laundry becomes an increasingly seamless experience, Samsung will continue to enable a smarter, more convenient way of living, one cycle at a time.
