Samsung Electronics today announced that it will showcase its 2019 Home Appliance Innovations at the 2019 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, NV.

Samsung changed the look of the kitchen when it introduced Black Stainless Steel, offering consumers a new stainless with cool tones and a sleek, modern look that quickly became the design trend of the modern kitchen. This year Samsung introduces the new neutral for 2019 – Tuscan Stainless. Inspired by warm, earthy tones, it combines a variety of natural hues for a warm grayish-bronze hue that blends seamlessly with any kitchen environment. Tuscan Stainless will be available across refrigerator, dishwasher, cooking and microwave oven models starting in May. A new Family Hub Refrigerator model in this new color will be available in August.

When it comes to laundry, no longer is the laundry room just a utility space, but a room where designers and homeowners carefully consider color, décor and functionality. Keeping with the warmer tones utilized by designers today, the new washers and dryers will be available in a stunning new champagne finish that turns the mundane laundry room into a space as beautiful and functional as the kitchen.

“At Samsung, we understand what consumers, designers and builders are looking for in the connected home and we know how to deliver on it. Here at the KBIS show we will demonstrate our continued commitment to creating these innovative products in ways that delight and inspire,” said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America. “From entry level all the way up to our luxury Chef Collection suites, Samsung delivers on every aspect of what consumers want in their homes. A seamless connected living experience that provides the performance they expect, available in designs that beautify their homes.”

With Wi-Fi connectivity and new washing technology, Samsung’s new WF6300R Front Load Washer takes the guesswork out of laundry and delivers a more powerful and faster wash. Cleaning a full load in as little as 30 minutes, these new washers free up more time for consumers to focus on things that matter most to them. Wi-Fi capability allows for simple, laundry planning on the go – whether it’s turning on your washer from a mobile device outside of the home, setting up the washer so it completes its cycle just as you return home—or getting Laundry suggestions for specific garments, these new washers turn Wi-Fi connectivity into seamless simplicity.

The new Samsung WA5400R Top Load Washer utilizes a new drum design where the total vertical depth is shallower and the width is increased, so it’s easier to reach into the washer, without sacrificing capacity. The “Active Water Jet” feature allows users to pre-treat and hand wash right inside the machine. Users can even add water for larger loads at the push of a button.

In addition to the new Tuscan Stainless suite of appliances and new laundry innovations, Samsung’s luxury built-in Chef Collection will also be on display at the show and includes many of Samsung’s most advanced technologies. New to the Collection is the Chef Collection 36” Pro Range (NY36R9966). The Pro Range features cast iron grates, which go from edge to edge, and includes two brass burners. It has illuminated knobs in which distinctive blue lights are a unique touch to show that it is on. The Pro Range can also be paired with the new 36” Chef Collection hood (NK36R9600), which is Bluetooth enabled and automatically turns on the fan and adjusts its speed based on the heat coming from the cook surface. Its 22k BTU Dual Brass Power Burners offer intense heat and more precise control, for either a quick boil of water or a slow melt of chocolate. The 36″ Pro Ranges has capacity ranging from 5.9-6.3 cu. ft., both accommodating a commercial size cookie sheet.

All of these exciting product innovations will be on display at the Samsung Booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Last year Samsung’s European home appliances business grew five times faster than the market. As a result of this momentum, Samsung participated in EuroCucina 2018, a showcase for new trends, designs and technologies for European kitchens.

The European built-in market is worth $18.5 billion annually, accounting for 40% of the global built-in market. Samsung’s premium built-in appliances, equipped with and IoT technology, are positioned at the center of the market. The opportunity to experience the kitchen of the future at the Samsung booth attracted the attention of many visitors at the exhibition.

Consumer-Led Innovations

Samsung displayed its full built-in product lineup at EuroCucina. The range included its Twin Cooling Plus technology refrigerator, Virtual Flame cooktop and Waterwall dishwasher. The company also unveiled the new Dual Cook Flex oven at the event.

The Dual Cook Flex zone highlighted how the oven can adapt to the needs of its users. Its innovative Dual Cook technology, for example, allows independent access to the upper oven compartment without compromising on cooking performance in the lower compartment. With research indicating that European oven users are cooking multiple dishes simultaneously three times a week on average, the oven’s Dual Cook system allows users to set different temperatures and time settings for each compartment, giving them greater control over simultaneous cooking.

Dual Cook Flex offers a range of IoT features. Consumers can remotely preheat, monitor and control the oven from anywhere with the SmartThings app. What’s more, the Cooking Guide makes setting recommendations based on ingredients and type of food being prepared.

The booth also demonstrated how Samsung’s industry-first innovations in the home appliance market provide a seamless experience and make a real difference in the kitchen. Samsung’s Twin Cooling Plus technology, which independently controls the refrigerator and freezer, was showcased in a transparent display to best illustrate how the system works. There were also zones exhibiting the Virtual Flame cooktop, an induction stove that mimics the appearance of flames to provide more intuitive visual control over the heat, and the WaterWall dishwasher that delivers remarkable cleaning results with a streaming wall of water.

Seamless Kitchen Connectivity

As people spend more of their time at home in the kitchen, and the space fulfills more roles than ever before, smart technology has become increasingly more important. Yet digitization of the kitchen has been slower than other key spaces of the home.

In addition to exhibiting the IoT capabilities of the Dual Cook Flex oven, Samsung demonstrated the seamless connectivity of key home IoT products at EuroCucina 2018.

On display was the latest generation of Family Hub integrated with SmartThings, Samsung’s IoT platform, which offers seamless connectivity between any IoT device using one app and a single cloud that manages all your devices. The smart refrigerator provides a center point for connecting all devices in the home, and is equipped with features such as Bixby, Meal Planner, Shopping List and Recipes to enhance your smart cooking experience.

Recent strides towards connectivity and innovation have resulted in 90 percent of Samsung products, including smartphones and TVs, being IoT-applicable. Thanks to the company’s collaborative efforts based on the Open Connectivity Foundation, the SmartThings ecosystem is operable and compatible with even more devices and brands.

“We are fully committed to ensuring that all our products are not only IoT ready, but also intelligent by 2020,” said HS Kim, President and CEO of Samsung’s Consumer Electronics Business, at the press conference on April 18^th.

Stylish Built-in Design

With premium designs such as Samsung’s black stainless-steel built-in packages, the exhibit modeled the streamlined look of the modern kitchen, which couples elegant design with intelligent technology.

Based on a philosophy of thoughtful design, today’s kitchen embraces simplicity, timelessness and an aesthetic that emphasizes minimalism while maximizing usability. This “Flat Design” favors clean lines, hidden displays and seamless integration. Samsung’s built-in appliances, such as its premium flat design refrigerators, have a precision engineered flat face which sits flush to the counter front.

Samsung Electronics acquired the luxury US built-in brand ‘Dacor’ in 2016 and has worked with various other partners, such as Nolte in Germany, and Sacvolini and Venetacucine in Italy to increase the competitiveness of premium built-in appliances as part of the company’s commitment to ‘bring the kitchen to life’. As well as displaying the ‘Dacor Modernist Collection’, Samsung also collaborated with numerous European luxury brands such as Nolte at this exhibition. Amongst these designs, the Dacor built-in refrigerator, which imbues a sense of luxury with its porcelain inside, has attracted significant attention.

Integrating smart technology with appliances and pursuing further innovations will transform the way we cook and interact in the kitchen, as Samsung aims to provide a more seamless, connected experience throughout the home.

Samsung Electronics today announced that it will showcase its advanced built-in appliances, including its widely acclaimed Samsung Chef Collection lineup that incorporates Samsung’s most intuitive smart technologies, at the 2018 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Orlando, Florida. The show, on January 9 -11, will be the first time in 7 years that Samsung is attending as an exhibitor, reaffirming its strong commitment to the US as the world’s largest premium built-in home appliances market.

Samsung will be exhibiting in booth W770, displaying its latest innovations in the appliance category to the builder and designers, and demonstrating the strong appeal of Samsung appliances in growing millennials with its advanced appliance designs and technologies.

“Attending KBIS demonstrates our continued commitment to creating innovative products in line with what people want in their home today” said Tom Halford, Vice President of Home Appliances Division at Samsung Electronics America. “Our smart, premium built-in kitchen appliances are also helping us to increase customer satisfaction and build industry leadership.”

The Samsung booth will highlight six different kitchen packages across wide range of prices, including both the black stainless-steel and standard stainless-steel packages from the Chef Collection lineup. Samsung will also highlight the increasing prevalence of the smart home trend with a Connected Living zone that features Samsung’s award-winning Family Hub refrigerator and the FlexWash and QuickDrive washing machines.

Samsung’s premium built-in Chef Collection on display includes many of Samsung’s most advanced technologies such as the Remote View camera incorporated into refrigerators and Virtual Flame of induction cooktops. Also on display will be the chef-inspired features in a premium suite of wall ovens, cooktops, pro ranges, dishwashers, and refrigerators including the fully integrated 42” Built-In 4-Door Flex model. All models have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities for full connected control in a smart home.
