Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of the Bespoke Top-Mounted Freezer (TMF) refrigerator. Available first in Thailand from late March, the new refrigerator will expand to regions all over the world by the end of the year.¹ The Bespoke TMF refrigerator combines elegant design with a full range of Bespoke color and texture options to help give every kitchen a unique and stylish decor. Equipped with the latest in freshness technologies and energy saving, it makes food storage convenient, efficient and flexible.

“These days, customers expect appliances to go beyond their basic functions,” said Junhwa Lee, EVP and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “With a wide choice of colors and cutting-edge technologies like SmartThings Energy’s AI Energy Mode, Optimal Fresh+ and SpaceMax, users can enjoy the next level of kitchen experiences by storing their food at peak freshness, all while saving energy and keeping the living space looking beautiful.”

Flat Door Design With a Range of Expressive Colors for a Unique, Stylish Look

The Bespoke TMF refrigerator’s flexible design options help customers realize the unique aesthetic of their kitchen. With a range of Bespoke colors and finishes to choose from and an elegantly simple modern flat door design, its stylish finish helps bring the colors of a kitchen to life. Glass textures in Clean Black, Clean Navy, Clean Peach, Clean Pink, Clean Vanilla and Clean White offer a sleek, color-enhancing finish for a refined, modern look. By contrast, Cotta textures in Metal Charcoal, Metal Pink and Metal White offer the warm, matte finish of baked terracotta.²

To complement this range of colors and finishes, the Bespoke TMF refrigerator’s clean, contemporary flat door design features streamlined recessed handles that do not protrude or get in the way. With recessed handles and a smart, refined design, the Bespoke TMF refrigerator enriches color schemes and fits in seamlessly with existing kitchen furniture.

Effortless Energy Saving With AI Energy Mode

SmartThings Energy’s³ AI Energy Mode⁴ uses AI to keep track of usage patterns and power consumption of the Bespoke TMF. AI Energy Mode then analyzes the data to provide useful insights through the SmartThings app to help the user proactively save energy.

Users can monitor consumption cost estimates and get a better understanding of how they use their fridge. This usage statistic can be viewed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, all up to user’s preferences.

If an estimated monthly electricity bill goes over preset targets, SmartThings alerts users by recommending switching to AI Energy Mode, reducing energy use by up to 7%⁵ with just the press of a button.

Optimal Fresh+: Locking in Freshness and Flavor Through Innovative Technology

The Bespoke TMF refrigerator’s Optimal Fresh+ compartment offers four distinct modes of refrigeration and can keep food fresh for up to twice as long as standard cooling.⁶

Located in an independently controlled drawer installed at the top of the fridge, the four unique temperature modes — Fridge, Meat & Fish, Soft Freeze and Power Cool — are designed to store different food types efficiently and optimally.

The Fridge mode is ideal for preserving fresh foods and frequently used daily items like dairy and deli foods. If users want to store unfrozen meat, fish and poultry, Meat & Fish mode is perfect for keeping it fresh and ready for up to seven days. The temperature setting for Meat & Fish mode can go up to -1℃. If users are looking for an even longer storage time without full freezing, Soft Freeze mode applies a thin coating of ice that prevents freezer burn and allows for pliable cutting with no defrosting required. The temperature setting for Soft Freeze can go up to -4℃. For rapidly locking in the freshness of groceries, Power Cool mode blasts the Optimal Fresh+ compartment with cold air, reaching low temperatures fast and chilling foods and beverages quickly.

With the dedicated Optimal Fresh+, the Bespoke TMF refrigerator lets users store all kinds of foods flexibly, making the storage of numerous food types simpler and more convenient.

More Space Inside, Same Size Outside With SpaceMax

To give customers more freedom in how much food they can keep fresh at once, the Bespoke TMF refrigerator comes with 20 liters more storage capacity than previous models with no extra exterior bulk.⁷

The Bespoke TMF refrigerator is designed with special SpaceMax technology that uses high urethane insulation to allow for much thinner fridge walls with no compromise in energy efficiency. This gives the Bespoke TMF refrigerator plentiful drawer and shelf space for foods of many shapes and sizes, all while retaining the sleek, streamlined look of its design.

Sustainable Laundry Solutions With the Bespoke AI Washer and Dryer

Samsung announced the launch of a new Bespoke AI laundry lineup, equipped with groundbreaking eco-conscious technologies to reduce the release of microplastics from clothing, which was developed in partnership with activewear brand Patagonia. Available this month, the Bespoke AI Washer comes with a wash course that reduces microplastic emissions from clothing by 54%¹ by using filter technology to capture these damaging plastic particles. The pollution of microplastics in our oceans and waterways is one of our world’s most pressing issues, and Samsung is proud to play a part in solving this problem.

Beyond reducing microplastics, the Bespoke AI Washer is packed with even more eco-conscious features to empower users to experience everyday sustainability without sacrificing performance. As the number one energy-efficient washer in the market,² the Bespoke AI Washer is equipped with Samsung’s proprietary AI Ecobubble technology. Using cool water instead of warm water without adding extra cycle time helps users save up to 70%³ of energy use with AI Energy Mode of SmartThings Energy. It also ensures high standards of cleanliness and hygiene for clothing by allowing detergent to quickly penetrate fabrics and remove dirt — even in cold water.

In addition, the Bespoke AI Washer comes with AI Wash sensors that measure the weight of the load and the level of soiling to ensure that the optimal amount of water, detergent and energy are used, minimizing waste.

Moreover, SpaceMax technology enables the machine to utilize a larger drum without increasing its external dimensions, giving consumers a large 11-kilogram capacity (5.3 cubic feet capacity for U.S. front load washer models) for larger loads. The Bespoke AI Washer’s unique, flat front design and various color options ensure that the appliance can easily blend into any laundry room and make your laundry space suit your design tastes as you see fit.

An Intelligent Healthy Cooking Experience With Bespoke AI Oven

Launching in October in the European markets, the Bespoke AI Oven comes with intelligent features that make cooking a healthful experience — allowing users to prepare food that is both good for the taste buds and the body.

Cooking with steam has long been associated with healthy cooking, and the new Bespoke AI Oven comes with various steam cooking functions to prepare nutritious and delectable steamed dishes. Natural Steam allows users to obtain crispier, more delicate flavors with a moist inside and crisp outside, making it the ideal choice for many baking dishes. Meanwhile, the oven’s Full Steam⁴ feature helps users steam vegetables or fish with minimal effort and retain more of their natural flavor and nutrients. The Bespoke AI Oven also comes with Dual Cook Steam, combining the upper and lower zones with easy steam technology so users can save time and energy by cooking different dishes simultaneously on different settings. When you’re done with your meal prep, a built-in steam cleaning feature makes for a quick clean-up.

The Bespoke AI Oven also has intelligent features that further enhances the healthy culinary experience. AI Pro Cooking^{5, 6} uses image-oriented food recognition technology to optimize oven cook settings while monitoring food to prevent meals from being overcooked. In addition, users can make cooking more interactive by creating and sharing time-lapse videos with friends and family on social media.

This touch-open oven features a handle-less, flat door design, so it harmoniously matches your kitchen furniture. And with a touch of your fingertip on a button on the control panel, you can open the door⁷ gently and effortlessly. The oven is available in a variety of modern colors and finishes⁸ including Clean Navy, Clean White and Satin Beige. So you can upgrade the appearance of your home by mixing and matching Bespoke appliances.

Adding connectivity into the mix, the Bespoke AI Oven also links with SmartThings Cooking service to provide personalized recipes⁹ and intelligent meal plans by understanding users’ tastes, diets and inventory in their fridge. Also, SmartThings Cooking can sync with Samsung Health to track users’ calorie goals and usage to recommend recipes. Thanks to this new feature, which will be available in October this year, counting your calories and cooking healthier just got even easier.

It also comes with an Auto Open Door that automatically opens the door when you touch it,¹¹ making a sound to alert you as it opens. What’s more, with no handles sticking out and getting in your way, it has a stylishly seamless appearance.
