Design Your Dream Kitchen with Samsung

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 12:00:07 +0000

The kitchen is a big part of our home – even for homeowners who don’t cook frequently. It is more than just a space where food is stored and meals are prepared. It is also where we spend quality time with our loved ones, and can even double up as a zone for work and play.

Whether you’re a first-time homeowner or simply looking to reconfigure your existing kitchen layout, read on to find out how you can customize and design your kitchen to reflect your personality and preferences.

Get ready to curate the ultimate kitchen experience at home with these three tips from Samsung!

Plan Your Kitchen Spaces Carefully

Consider demarcating important zones in the kitchen for eating, storage, prep, washing and cooking.

After plotting out your kitchen zones, you will then need to figure out appliance placements for each area – such as a table top or kitchen island for eating and prep work, a refrigerator for storage, a sink for washing and a stove for cooking – and plan around these.

While you may not be able to choose specific placements for your sink and refrigerator, you can still decide where you’d like to place your table tops or kitchen islands. As a general rule of thumb, table surfaces should ideally be wide enough to place appliances when needed, with enough leftover space for you to prepare meals, eat, or even do work whenever you need a change of scenery while working from home.

When it comes to choosing appliances, think of your own lifestyle and needs. For those who are always on-the-go, the Samsung Grill Microwave Oven with Grill Fry comes equipped with pre-set cooking modes that helps you whip up meals quickly and easily. Compact enough to tuck away in a corner and available in a variety of fun shades – such as black, mint, and pink – this appliance seamlessly integrates into any kitchen setup.

Play Around with Colors

The kitchen should spark joy. Gone are the days where kitchen walls, cabinets, appliances were only found in white or muted colors. Dare to choose a bold palette to add a touch of joy and excitement to your overall kitchen space.

At the pinnacle of Samsung’s personalized offerings is the BESPOKE Refrigerator¹, which reimagines traditional notions of the fridge being a mere functional storage for food. Available in over 20 original colors and seven finishes worldwide, the BESPOKE Refrigerator is versatile enough to complement any type of kitchen interior design².

BESPOKE refrigerators will be available in Malaysia soon.

Supercharge Your Kitchen with Tech

After figuring out the number of appliances you need and their respective kitchen placements, don’t forget to check whether there are enough electrical outlets to power up each gadget! Consider adding a Wi-Fi signal booster in the kitchen as well, so that you can introduce Wi-Fi enabled devices to your kitchen too – such as a tablet for entertainment purposes or to guide you with meal prep.

Sleek and compact, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ is a handy companion to have around when you need to access recipes quickly online or play music and videos in the background as you cook. Boasting a massive 12.4”³Super AMOLED display – the largest yet on a Galaxy tablet – along with quad speaker sound by AKG® and Dolby Atmos®, the Galaxy Tab S7+ offers all the entertainment you can get in the form of a compact device, leaving ample space to cook and work in the kitchen!

Cleaning up is the least favorite part of cooking for most of us. Transform a tiresome chore into something more sophisticated with the Samsung Jet Bot, which can cleverly map out your kitchen space by accurately scanning it with an improved sensor, including underneath furniture or in lowly-lit spaces. It can also maneuver around blind spots and sharp corners effortlessly for a fast yet thorough clean.

How Samsung’s Jet Bot AI+ is Reimagining Cleaning

Thu, 15 Jul 2021 22:14:12 +0000

Samsung’s CES 2021 lineup showcases exciting ways that its new devices make users’ lives better. The company designed its latest home appliances with a focus on ‘Bespoke’ personalization – creating appliances that are customized for each user the way a bespoke suit is precisely tailored for each wearer. Optimized to fit a variety of lifestyles, Samsung’s newest innovations set a new standard for home appliances.

For as long as people have had dwellings, they have had to commit time and energy to maintaining those dwellings. But now, Samsung is looking to make the age-old task of maintaining our homes far quicker and easier.

Created to give your house an amazing clean with minimal effort on your part, the Jet Bot AI+ is the industry’s first smart robotic vacuum powered by Intel^® AI. It uses cutting-edge object-recognition technology to navigate your home just like you do: avoiding furniture, dog droppings and cables without missing any spaces out. Check out the video and read on below to learn more about how, with innovations like a self-cleaning Clean Station and a camera you can monitor from anywhere, the Jet Bot AI+ allows you to give your house a fast, efficient clean while barely lifting a finger.

Intelligent Navigation

The first-ever smart vacuum to be powered by Intel^®AI, the Jet Bot AI+ uses 3D sensors and enhanced object recognition to navigate your home as well as a person would. Utilizing a high-precision LiDAR sensor similar to those used in self-driving cars to detect distance and track location, the vacuum is capable of moving with a high degree of precision. Able to sense distances of up to six meters, rotate 360 degrees and access hard-to-reach spaces, no dirt is safe when the Jet Bot AI+ is on the case.

When it comes to evading objects, the Jet Bot AI+ features a powerful 3D sensor that allows it to scan an object and expertly maneuver around it without missing any cleanable spaces. Utilizing cutting-edge sensors, high resolution and object recognition technology, the Jet Bot AI+ is capable of not only seeing, but classifying objects in its line of vision to differentiate which items to avoid, and which to clean close to.

The Intel^®AI utilized in Jet Bot AI+ allows for object recognition capabilities based on learning from over 1 million images of household items like home appliances and furniture. Jet Bot AI+ is able to recognize objects such as sofas, bookshelves, tables, dog bowls, towels, and electrical cables.

Thoroughly Clean

Once it has finished cleaning, the Jet Bot AI+ returns to its Clean Station, an elegantly designed dock for your robot vacuum that optimizes health and convenience by automatically emptying the vacuum’s dustbin for you. Dirt, dust and hair is emptied into a dust bag inside the machine through a filtration system that traps 99.999%¹of pollutants the vacuum captures and prevents them from being released back into your home during emptying.

The Clean Station’s dustbin only requires a bag change once every two to three months², and, like the robot vacuum itself, it features a blue LED notification light that alerts you when the bag is full. And the Jet Bot AI+’s innovative dustbin is also made entirely of washable parts, making keeping it clean quick and convenient.

Remote Monitoring and Smart Control

And to make sure you stay connected and in control of how and where your robot vacuum is cleaning, the Jet Bot AI+’s front camera and upgraded smart controls allow you to connect to your vacuum from anywhere via the SmartThings mobile app. You can use the app to see where the vacuum is cleaning in real time, schedule cleanings, and even specify ‘no-go zones’ on a map of your home.

With the Jet Bot AI+, keeping your home clean and hygienic is easier than ever before. Combining powerful intelligence with an elegant and minimalistic design, Samsung’s new Jet Bot AI+ is taking the ‘work’ out of housework, ensuring that you will return to a clean house at the end of the day.

¹ Based on internal testing, using Max mode, in accordance with the IEC62885-2 Cl. 5.11 standard. Results may vary depending on the actual home conditions.

² May vary depending on the amount of dust in actual home environments.

To see how Family Hub for 2021 and SmartThings Cooking can enhance home experiences, Samsung Newsroom followed a day in the life of a family living in a home equipped with a Samsung smart kitchen.

[Monday, 5 PM] Customized Culinary Journeys

Looking to plan out the family’s meals for the week, Dad turns to his Family Hub’s one-stop Cooking Board. SmartThings Cooking’s Meal Planner automatically suggests a full week’s worth of delicious meals based on the family’s preferences and the ingredients they have in their fridge. With a few quick taps, Dad is able to create a grocery shopping basket straight from the recipes and conveniently complete payment through his usual online retailer.²

The family’s meals planned out for the week, Dad turns his attention to their meal for that evening. Considering what they have already eaten that week and the ingredients they have in the house, Family Hub recommends a sumptuous chicken pasta bake.

About to head home for the day, Mom opens the SmartThings app on her smartphone and sees that the family’s meals for the week are all ready to go. She is excited to see that she has a delicious pasta bake to look forward to when she gets home!

[Tuesday, 3:30 PM] Enriching Precious Family Moments

Jenny, the youngest child, goes to the Family Hub to show off the first photos she took all by herself on its screen, proudly displaying them for her family to see and decorating her display with images and stickers. By accessing the Family Hub device plug-in within the mobile SmartThings app, users can quickly and easily add photos to their large 21.5-inch Family Hub screen for all their loved ones to enjoy.

Mom arrives in the kitchen, ready to prepare dinner. She sees Jenny’s photos, smiles, and swipes to the Cooking Board to see what’s for dinner.

[Tuesday, 6 PM] Making the Kitchen Fun

Time to start cooking! Using the Family Hub’s internet browser, Mom pulls up an online cooking tutorial to remind herself how to prepare the meal. That done, she uses one-touch Mirroring from her smartphone to play a video for the family’s youngest child and keep them entertained while herself and her eldest child prepare the meal.

When Dad arrives home, he comes in to find his family all happily cooking together and nodding along to some great cooking tunes.

[Tuesday, 10 PM] A Smarter and Safer Space

With the dishes all done, it’s time for the family to retire for the night. Dad goes to the Family Hub to check that all of the family’s appliances are set to their appropriate modes for the night. The Family Hub also lets him know that the temperature is set to drop significantly that night, allowing him to set the thermostat to the right temperature to keep his family comfortable. Before heading to bed, Dad uses the SmartThings Video Widget to check that the house’s internal and front door cameras are working well, ensuring that his family will rest safe and secure.

Samsung’s Family Hub for 2021 and SmartThings are making it easier than ever before to enjoy rich, memorable family experiences in the kitchen and throughout the home. With the refrigerator serving as their central hub, family members can enjoy more efficient interactions within their home environment, giving them more time to spend on what matters most – each other.
