Samsung Malaysia Electronics today announced that it is launching the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo [1] in Malaysia. First introduced at IFA 2023 in Berlin, the all-in-one washer and dryer combo is set to redefine laundry experiences by combining a washer and a dryer into a single space efficient appliance that finishes the wash and dry cycle in one queue. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also leverages advanced AI, and a 7” display to provide an easy, entertaining laundry experience.

“At Samsung, we are constantly innovating to create appliances that seamlessly integrate into our consumers’ lives. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is an all-in-one appliance that combines washing and drying power, eliminating the need to transfer laundry between machines. With its intuitive control panel and SmartThings connectivity, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo elevates the laundry experience, allowing consumers to manage their homes effortlessly and enjoy more while doing less. We are confident that this innovative laundry solution will be a welcome addition to Malaysian households,” said Mr. Denny Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia.

All-in-One Laundry Solution for Hassle-free Laundry Experience

Bespoke AI Laundry Combo seamlessly integrates a washer and dryer into a single unit while performing as effectively as two separate machines by utilizing Samsung’s Ecobubble and Heatpump Drying Technology. It can provide an efficient and space-saving laundry solution.

First, as it combined two machines into one, it eliminated the hassle for customers to move the laundry after washing. Users that waited for their laundry cycles to finish to immediately move it to the dryer to prevent odors, are allowed more flexible use of their time. Also users can save their valuable space, enabling users to take advantage of the freeing space for their interior needs while enjoying benefits of a washer and a dryer at the same time.

Moreover, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo provides the large capacity of 25kg of washing and 15kg of drying, which makes better use of advantages of an All-in-One design. The big drum size is large enough to load even a king-sized comforter, and lots of clothes into a single load as well. Users now can spend less time in the laundry room and can enjoy more time outside.

Elevating the Laundry Experience at Home with AI

A key feature of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, the AI Wash & Dry,[2] sets a new standard for laundry efficiency. This advanced system uses a range of sensors to optimize both washing and drying for each load, freeing users from having to contemplate over about the optimal settings for each cycle. Upon sensing the weight of the laundry, it dispenses the right amount of water and detergent. It also detects the fabric and monitors the level of soiling during the cycle, and adjusts washing time and detergent use accordingly. After the wash cycle, the technology customizes the drying process based on the weight and fabric,[3] ensuring excellent cleaning and drying results. With AI Wash & Dry, users benefit from a thorough, more efficient[4] and personalized laundry experience.

Seamless, Efficient User Experiences

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo offers an enhanced user experience with the intuitive 7” wide LCD display that serves as a central control hub for laundry, and moreover the entire home. With a wide display, it delivers substantial information about the laundry starting with course details, remaining amount of detergent, and energy consumption. When showing courses, the combo uses machine learning to remember user habits and recommend cycles[5] based on periodic and seasonal needs.[6] When the course is finished, it provides an energy and water consumption report that can be viewed on the LCD display or the SmartThings App.[7] Additionally, users have clear view of the 3D Map View, which shows all connected appliances[8] within the home and enables users to seamlessly monitor and turn on/off them. Users can check if the air conditioner is on, or get the robot vacuum cleaner to start cleaning, all while they are in the laundry room.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo was verified to level ‘Diamond’ under UL Solutions’ Marketing Claim Verification IoT Security Rating, proving its competitiveness in security.

Furthermore, users of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo can now enjoy the updated Bixby[9] which comes with better understanding capabilities allowing for more responsive interaction than before. Through AI, Bixby can understand complicated and casual conversations, allowing users to give multi-intended, complex commands.[10] Upon using the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, users can ask “What’s the weather like?”, and then say “Start the wash cycle and lower the living room temperature,” and have their requests finished in one sequence. Bixby provides support for Device Q&A as well, assisting users when they have questions about certain features on their appliances. When an error is displayed on the LCD display, users can ask directly what this means, instead of having to look through the user manual or search on their phones. Lastly, the laundry combo has been updated so that it responds without the “Hi Bixby” or “Bixby” wake-up phrases. Users can naturally approach the washing machine, and say ‘Open the washing machine door’, and then get a prompt response or see the action carried out.
