Samsung Electronics today announced it is showcasing its connected, AI-powered kitchen vision at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2026, being held in Orlando, Florida from Feb. 17-19. Bringing together its Bespoke AI lineup and Dacor, its premium built-in kitchen brand, Samsung is introducing a premium wine culture that redefines modern living with smart storage, sophisticated design and AI innovation¹ — setting a new standard for smart and reliable homes.

“The kitchen is evolving into the center of home life, and Samsung continues to introduce intelligent solutions that organically connect appliances, services and everyday experiences,” said Sang Jik Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales and Marketing Team for the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “At KBIS, we are showing how Dacor redefines modern living by blending functionality, aesthetics and smart technology, setting the future of kitchen — where every detail elevates form and function.”

Dacor’s Premium Wine Culture and the Innovative Design of the ‘Hidden Kitchen’

At the exhibition, a dedicated wall is showcasing Dacor’s refined offerings, developed with wine aficionados in mind. On display are the 24-Inch Undercounter Wine Cellar, Wine Column and Built-in Wine Dispenser, the last of which holds up to four bottles of wine and features dual temperature zones that preserve wines by maintaining separate recommended storage temperatures for each red and white wine. Additionally, with a simple touch, user can select and serve the appropriate amount of wine.

Dacor is also introducing sleek and organized kitchen designs that seamlessly blend into the overall ambiance of the home when not in use. These designs emphasize the idea of a “hidden kitchen” concealed within curved columns or furniture and encompassing a complete lineup — a refrigerator, cooktop and the 2025 LUXE RED Design Award-winning 24-Inch Dishwasher — ensuring both practicality and functionality.

Dacor’s premium appliances also support SmartThings² connectivity, enabling users to manage key functions through their connected ecosystem.

Bespoke AI: Smart, Connected and Reliable Kitchen Innovation

Also, on display at KBIS is the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, which features the innovation AI Vision. Powered by advanced camera-based recognition technology. This allows users to effortlessly check the contents of their refrigerator and efficiently manage ingredient lists.² Previously, the system could recognize up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food directly on-device.³ Samsung plans to enhance this feature to overcome existing limitations, enabling recognition of an even greater variety of food items.

A diverse range of Bespoke AI products — including dishwashers, ovens and laundry appliances — are also on display for KBIS visitors to experience. Connected control through SmartThings² is a key differentiator of these products, as it allows users to conveniently monitor devices from their smartphones. The seamless harmony among these kitchen appliances is further enhanced by Bixby⁴ voice control. For example, a user can stand in front of the refrigerator and ask, “Hi Bixby, can you recommend a recipe based on my food list?” Then, it offers recipes and guided cooking instructions.⁵

Since reliability is a major factor in making a connected ecosystem strong and stable, Samsung has dedicated a part of its exhibit to its commitment to assuring the quality of Bespoke AI products and services that are available to consumers after purchase. Along with regular software updates, Samsung offers Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM),⁶ which is a service that can help consumers understand and manage the status of appliances through monitoring,⁷ diagnosis and remote service support.

The exhibition showcases Bespoke AI appliances — namely the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo and the Bespoke Slide-in Induction Range — which are great additions to any smart home ecosystem. The LCD screens on these appliances act as a hub, allowing easy and intuitive access and control across various intelligent, connected devices. Visitors can experience how implementation of AI can deliver a personalized experience and make daily routines better and more enjoyable.

Additionally, the exhibition provides information on AI Energy Mode in SmartThings Energy¹ and Samsung Care, both of which support Samsung’s commitment to making users’ daily lives more convenient.

Samsung’s KBIS booth also has a dedicated space with built-in appliances from Dacor, including the 2025 Dacor Induction Range. Designed for a premium kitchen, Dacor’s 30” Column Refrigerator – Panel Ready; 30” Column Freezer – Panel Ready; 30” Combination Wall Oven with Steam; and 24” Built-in Wine Dispenser form a seamless wall to bring a clean and luxurious look to the home interior. A separate wine zone also showcases the 24” Wine Column – Panel Ready that continues into an impressive Dacor Wine Wall where visitors can take photos.

“We are looking forward to introducing our Samsung Bespoke and Dacor appliances, all of which harness powerful hyperconnectivity and AI technology to anticipate personal needs and simplify daily tasks,” said Taehwan Hwang, EVP and Head of the Sales and Marketing Team of Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “And as the premier stage for home innovation, KBIS is the perfect place for us to showcase how these smart, beautifully designed appliances work together to create seamless and personalized experiences for every household.”

Introducing the 2025 Dacor Induction Range: A Powerful Enhancement to Any Kitchen

The 2025 Dacor Induction Range empowers users to quickly and flexibly cook a variety of dishes. The powerful heat of a 4.3 kW Induction Cooktop enables fast and intensive cooking that seals in delicious flavors, making it ideal for sautéing, searing or quickly boiling. The cooktop’s Anti Scratch Glass makes surface cleaning and maintenance super easy, and the matte black finish adds a premium look to the kitchen.

There’s also a 7” Sync Burner that allows users to adjust two separate burners with one control so they can be kept at the same temperature and act as one large cooking zone for large cookware. Since this model is ENERGY STAR® certified, all the power that comes with it doesn’t come at the cost of efficiency, either.

Additionally, Dacor’s Dual Four-part Pure Convection system cooks multiple dishes quickly and thoroughly with no flavor transfer, reducing cooking time by distributing heat evenly across the entire oven. The four key components are as follows:

• a 1300 W heating element to provide heat
• a convection fan to circulate air
• an oven-specific baffle to evenly channel air
• a triple-mesh filter to prevent flavor crossover

Users will also benefit from the luxurious Art Hairline Finish, which features long, horizontal brush strokes on the stainless-steel exterior to contribute to a sophisticated matte appearance that blends harmoniously with kitchen interiors.

Visitors to Samsung’s booth at KBIS will be able to use a buzzworthy photo booth that allows them to take a photo of a miniaturized version of themselves sitting on the shelf of the larger-than-life refrigerator — and then instantly share it on social media.

Samsung is committed to bringing new kitchen experiences to users through partnership and innovation. Visitors to the company’s KBIS 2020 booth are encouraged to share their impressions of the dedicated zones using the hashtag #BUILDwithSAMSUNG

“We’re proud to lead the home appliance industry by offering innovative products for every type of customer, and for every type of home, whether it’s your first apartment or your dream home,” said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America. “We’re excited to be back at KBIS to demonstrate how our personalized, connected products simplify everyday tasks so that you can spend more time doing what you love, with the people you love, in the space you love.”

Our living spaces are evolving. Home is no longer viewed as just a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom. It’s where our friends and family members gather to share and relax with one another. At the same time, the boundaries between our physical and digital worlds are shrinking.

Samsung offers home appliances that eliminate those boundaries, allowing customers to make their living spaces anything they need, and want, them to be. And these appliances are just as beautiful as they are functional—no matter which type of product you are looking for, you will find design and color options that complement your personal style and match your home’s décor.

At KBIS 2020, Samsung will highlight connected products and, more importantly, curated experiences—an ecosystem of intelligent products that make household tasks more convenient than ever, freeing you up to do the things you enjoy most. That means ranges you can control via your favorite voice assistant, so you can adjust the time or temperature while you’re busy chopping vegetables. And it means personal care products that keep your most valuable fashion investments fresh, clean, and ready-to-wear.

All of the Samsung home appliances on display offer customers control over their connected devices, including the one at the center of the smart home: the Family Hub. Family Hub enables families to share life’s important moments with one another and manage the smart devices within their home. You can order groceries, share videos from your smartphone, view multiple cameras at-a-glance, and even be notified when your laundry is done—all on the screen of your refrigerator.

There will also be the new side-by-side refrigerator lineup, the new French door refrigerator lineup, the new slide-in range lineup, 4-Door Bespoke refrigerator, Jet stick vacuum cleaner, and AirDresser, showcased at the booth this year.

In addition to offering solutions for homeowners, Samsung will also display solutions for the home builder industry. As the builder segment has grown, Samsung has invested heavily in products and programs specifically for the home builder, designer, and distributor businesses. With industry-leading design, performance, and connectivity, Samsung is uniquely positioned to provide everything builders need to deliver the experiences that their customers expect from them. Samsung helps builders convert a prospect into a closing—and does it with the broadest, deepest lineup of home appliances, from entry-level to premium.

The latest Samsung innovations will be on display at Booth C6307 in the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information about Samsung Home Appliances and Connected Living, please visit www.samsungbuilder.com.

Dacor, a luxury kitchen appliance manufacturer acquired by Samsung Electronics in August 2016, today announces plans to unveil a new full lineup of premium household appliances at The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show 2017 in Orlando, Florida.

KBIS hosts over 2,500 exhibitors annually from various home appliance brands, while attracting more than 120,000 attendees across diverse industries. Dacor will showcase its new full-package Heritage Lineup which reflects the powerful combination of Dacor’s 50-year expertise in the built-ins segment with Samsung’s industry leading technologies and design.

The new luxury lineup, upgraded from its popular and traditional originals, will feature completely reimagined premium Built-In Column and French Door refrigerators, Range, and Wall Oven. The Range and Wall Oven are Wi-Fi-enabled, allowing users to control the appliances with their smartphone using the iQ^TM feature, and will include Dacor’s Four-Part Pure Convection^TM technology which heats and cooks food quickly and evenly, inside and out.

Award Winning Energy Efficient Refrigerators

Additionally, nine Dacor refrigerators received the EPA’s Energy Star 2016 Emerging Technology Award and were recognized for their innovative refrigerant systems developed by Samsung. All nine including the Built-In Column refrigerator come in various sizes and were the first Dacor refrigerators to be awarded.

To qualify for the EPA award, the refrigerant system must have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating below 15 and produce an energy efficiency gain of 5 percent or higher. Dacor refrigerators have a negligible GWP rating and utilize the eco-friendly R-600a hydrocarbon refrigerant, which can reduce energy usage by 6.5 percent.

“Our most recent luxury packages are built using Dacor’s top-tier technologies and decades of industry knowledge, paired with the strength of Samsung’s pioneering innovation,” said David Nichols, vice president of products at Dacor. “We are honored to receive recognition from the US EPA, and we will continue to invest in new luxury kitchen appliances utilizing green technology in cooperation with Samsung.”

Founded in 1965 in California, Dacor was acquired by Samsung Electronics in August 2016. The brand is well known for its luxury home appliances and has been a prominent player in the housing and real estate markets in the US and Canada.

The Dacor booth will be open at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando from January 10 through 12 for KBIS 2017.
