The star of the event was Samsung’s All-in-One washer dryer, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, which features innovative technologies including heat pump technology which uses heat from the air to dry clothes instead of conventional methods, reducing energy consumption and offering more efficient drying. Integrated with artificial intelligence, the AI Wash & Dry function automatically adjusts washing and drying parameters based on sensors that monitor the weight, dirt, and type of fabric of the clothes, ensuring impeccable results in each cycle and promoting water and energy savings. 

AI Energy Mode also optimizes energy use based on usage patterns and operating conditions, helping to reduce energy consumption and costs without compromising washing and drying performance. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo uses up to 60% less energy during a wash cycle and up to 30% less energy during a dry cycle when using the AI Wash & Dry cycle with AI Energy Mode² switched on, accessible via the SmartThings App.³ The appliance also features a larger capacity of up to 25kg, ideal for large families or those looking for practicality, allowing large volumes of laundry to be washed in a single cycle. 

“We are excited to share Samsung’s latest innovations in smarter living to this region, and to offer a deep dive into the innovations that we are bringing to transform everyday life. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is a glimpse into the future of innovative laundry care, and by harnessing the power of AI, we are redefining what is possible in the home and at the same time, empowering our consumers with smarter and more efficient home solutions,” said Daren Tay, VP & Regional Head of Digital Appliances for Southeast Asia & Oceania, Samsung Electronics.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo will be available in the Philippines on December 2024. For more information on Samsung’s lineup of innovative home appliances, please visit www.samsung.com/ph.
