Samsung Introduces First AI-Powered Top Load Washer for Enhanced Laundry Performance and Efficiency

The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer leverages advanced AI algorithms and sensors to enable intelligent, efficient and quiet laundry routines for homeowners

Samsung Electronics Singapore announced the launch of the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer, marking the debut of Samsung’s first AI-powered top load washer in Singapore. Equipped with AI Wash, AI Energy Mode and AI Vibration Reduction Technology Plus (VRT+™) features, the new washer will deliver more intelligent, efficient and quiet washing experiences for homeowners.^[1]

Homeowners can look forward to elevating their laundry routines with the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer

Unmatched Laundry Efficiency and Effectiveness with Ecobubble™

The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer features the Ecobubble™ technology, which provides more effective cleaning performance while minimising fabric damage. Ecobubble™ incorporates two key innovations: BubbleStorm™, a fan-like device which effectively dissolves detergent into a foam for quicker penetration into fabrics, and Dual Storm™, a pulsator that thoroughly mixes the bubbles and clothes together. By combining these components, Ecobubble™ allows homeowners achieve a thorough wash that uses up to 25% less energy^[2] and up to 13% less water.^[3] The technology also allows the detergent to blend into the fabric 2.5 times faster^[4], delivering up to 20% better fabric care^[5] by reducing wear on clothes.

Besides Ecobubble™, the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer also comes with Hygiene Steam cycle, which provides deep cleaning using hot water up to 60°C and steam to eliminate up to 99.9%^[6] of certain types of bacteria^[7] and stubborn stains^[8] without the need for pre-treatment.

The Super Speed option is also available for homeowners who are looking to get their laundry done quicky. The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer can wash a laundry load in as little as 31 minutes^[9], delivering 40% faster washing while maintaining effective cleaning performance.

To ensure long-lasting durability and reliable performance, the Digital Inverter Motor in the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer is backed by a 20-year warranty^[10].

Simplified Laundry Routines, Enhanced Clothing Care with AI

The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer comes equipped with Samsung’s AI Wash^[11], which intelligently senses the fabric type and weight to conveniently recommend the optimal settings for each load. Homeowners can look forward to a simplified laundry process while ensuring that their garments receive the best possible cleaning and care.

Based on the detected laundry conditions, the cycle uses an AI algorithm to recommend suitable settings like the water level, agitation intensity, and washing and rinsing times. For delicate items, AI Wash gently reduces wear and tear, providing more fabric protection^[12]. For heavy duty fabrics, it ensures a thorough, even wash without leaving residue behind.

AI Wash streamlines and simplifies laundry experiences for homeowners

Besides ensuring a thorough cleaning experience, the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer comes with AI VRT+™ technology to enable quieter washing experiences while adjusting to various floor conditions. This advanced version of the VRT+™ system gathers a variety of signals sensed from the washer and sends it to an AI server^[13], which analyses the type of floor the washer is placed on ^[14]. Using an AI algorithm, the server calculates the ideal settings and ensures the washer runs with less noise and vibration during the cycle, allowing users to have a more peaceful environment while washing laundry.

Smart Integration with Your Home with Samsung SmartThings

The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer is compatible with Samsung SmartThings, allowing homeowners greater control and flexibility over their laundry experience no matter where they are.

As a smart assistant for modern homes, homeowners can get the recommended wash cycles for their garments using Laundry Recipe. Laundry Planner also allows consumers to optimise their daily wash schedule, and HomeCare Wizard helps with remote troubleshooting of appliance issues. All of which can be accessed from the SmartThings app.

Additionally, homeowners can take advantage of AI Energy Mode^[15] feature on SmartThings to reduce energy use by up to 20%^[16].

Greater Choice for Diverse Household Needs

Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is an All-in-One washer and dryer
that offers a one-stop, time-saving laundry solution

Besides the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer, Samsung’s suite of Bespoke AI laundry appliances also includes the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ launched in 2024.

The Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo combines innovative design with advanced technology, with the 7” AI Home smart control interface simplifying laundry management while the sleek flat-panel design adds sophistication to any modern home.

Key features of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ include the Heatpump Drying Technology which reduces drying time by up to 60%^[17] compared to conventional washer-dryer combos and the Auto Open Door feature which opens automatically at the end of the cycle to ease unloading and prevent damp odours.
