<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="558" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Bespoke-AI-Single-1-Door-Fridge-Freezer-Bespoke-AI-Dishwasher-Extractor-Induction-Hob_main1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24278" /></figure>



<p>A good purchase earns its place in the routines we repeat every week. As Black Friday 2026 approaches, it is worth thinking about what will make life at home easier long after the shopping season ends.</p>



<p>Research from SmartLabX, a dedicated analysis program that tracks the lifestyles of European households and their expectations regarding the technologies that surround them, shows that value has been redefined by the consumer and price is no longer rarely considered in isolation.<sup data-fn="acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd" class="fn"><a href="#acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd" id="acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd-link">1</a></sup></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Value not just today, but for the future</h2>



<p>A refrigerator isn’t bought for just one occasion. It needs to hold all your regular food shopping, make room for ingredients when hosting friends and family, and keep pace as households change and grow. Whether it is keeping milk chilled or feeding three generations of a family, choosing the right appliance matters.</p>



<p>Thinking about those familiar moments can make it easier to choose an appliance that will feel useful throughout the year. On selected Samsung refrigerators, Twin Cooling Plus<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> optimises temperature and humidity in the fridge and freezer using independent cooling airflows to help keep food fresher for longer and prevent odours from mixing.<sup data-fn="00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3" class="fn"><a href="#00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3" id="00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3-link">2</a></sup></p>



<p>For someone who likes to plan meals ahead, that means ingredients are cared for between visits to the food outlets and the next evening spent cooking. It is a practical benefit that becomes part of the rhythm of the kitchen.</p>



<p>Among European refrigerator buyers, 36% consider reliability and durability important, almost matching the 37% who consider price<sup>1</sup> important. What matters is not only what an appliance costs, but how well it works for the people using it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy efficiency that fits the weekly routine</h2>



<p>With laundry running several times a week in many homes, energy use is a key part of the value equation, particularly as the cost of living continues to rise. Energy efficiency ranks as the most important feature for refrigerator buyers (37%), while also ranking second for washing machines (32%)<sup>1</sup>.</p>



<p>A load of bedding for visiting guests may not need to be ready straight away, while clothes for tomorrow’s workday or the kid’s school uniform are a must. Choosing a cycle around the time available can help make energy-conscious habits easier to fit into the week.</p>



<p>AI Energy Mode in SmartThings supports this on compatible Samsung washing machines and selected cycles, reducing energy use by washing at lower temperatures and extending the cycle time. When there is less need to rush, it offers a way to manage energy use within the usual laundry routine.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making the everyday that little bit easier</h2>



<p>Life is busy, and the best value appliances are those that allow customers to spend less time on routine chores, and more time on the things that they enjoy. In the kitchen, it is often what happens after the meal that matters.</p>



<p>Across Europe, 81%<sup>1</sup> of consumers say they are willing to pay more for self-cleaning ovens. After roasting a big family meal or cooking dinner for friends, scrubbing the oven with a full belly is not on the top of anyone’s to do list.</p>



<p>Pyrolytic Cleaning on selected Samsung ovens turns grease and food residue into ash that can be wiped away once the oven has cooled. It makes the clean-up less demanding, so cooking at home feels a little easier from start to finish.</p>



<p>At Samsung we understand how busy life gets, and that is why we have designed appliances that work to make life that little bit easier.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A choice that fits everyday life</h2>



<p>This Black Friday season, a useful place to start is an ordinary week at home. Think about the meals you cook, the washing you do, the amount of food you need store, and the jobs you would welcome a little help with.</p>



<p>The biggest saving may not be the appliance with the lowest price. Genuine value means choosing products that offer lasting performance, support efficient everyday living and make life that little bit easier.</p>



<p>Samsung home appliances can support those familiar routines, bringing value to the moments that continue long after the shopping season is over Enabling Better Living.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/29151731/Press-Release-Samsung-Redefines-Laundry-With-New-A-70-and-13-kg-Bespoke-AI-Washers-at-IFA-2026-1000x563-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26408" /></figure>



<p>From favourite knitwear left out of the washing machine to jeans worn time and again, new research from Samsung reveals how fear of damaging clothes is shaping Britain’s laundry habits.</p>



<p>A poll of 2,000 UK adults found that eight in 10 (80%) experience some form of laundry anxiety, with almost half (47%) afraid to wash certain clothes for fear of ruining them. On average, people have four items in their wardrobe they worry about putting in the machine.</p>



<p>The findings reveal six laundry personalities, from those who take washing in their stride to those who avoid it altogether when unsure how to care for an item:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The Practical Washer (27%):</strong> Prioritises getting clothes clean without overthinking the process.</li>



<li><strong>The Care Label Follower (19%):</strong> Relies on care labels and instructions to decide how to wash clothes.</li>



<li><strong>The Laundry Confident (15%):</strong> Feels confident washing different fabrics and caring for clothes.</li>



<li><strong>The Laundry Risk-Taker (12%):</strong> Puts most things in the machine without worrying too much about the outcome.</li>



<li><strong>The Laundry Worrier (11%):</strong> Is cautious about washing clothes for fear of damaging them.</li>



<li><strong>The Laundry Avoider (8%):</strong> Puts washing off or finds another way to freshen clothes when unsure how to clean them.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The clothes we’re afraid to wash</strong></h2>



<p>Knitwear (28%), embellished items (26%), coats (24%) and cashmere (24%) are among the items people are most likely to avoid machine-washing because they are unsure how to care for them.</p>



<p>Instead, more than half (51%) have hand-washed clothes in the sink, while a third (33%) have paid for dry cleaning. Almost three in 10 (29%) have simply worn an item again without washing it.</p>



<p>Laundry anxiety can even influence shopping habits, with 55% saying concerns about garment care have stopped them buying an item they really wanted. Through the intuitive Bespoke AI laundry appliances, Samsung’s smart technology can help users turn laundry from a chore of chance into a science of certainty, by providing personalised and tailored wash cycle suggestions based on your past usage habits.</p>



<p>Past mishaps may help explain these fears: 51% have ruined an item of clothing during a wash, with shrinking (56%), misshaping (33%) and colour fading (31%) among the most common problems. Following a mishap, almost two-thirds (65%) felt more anxious about washing other items.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>First-wash anxiety: when uncertainty gets in the way</strong></h2>



<p>More than half (52%) have experienced ‘first-wash anxiety’, having discovered that more clothes and fabrics are washable at home than they thought.</p>



<p>Vintage clothing presents another challenge, with 19% concerned about damaging unfamiliar fabrics and 14% worried about lingering smells, stains or marks. For 1 in 10, these concerns have put them off buying vintage altogether.</p>



<p>Denim is another source of uncertainty. Almost a quarter (23%) have avoided machine-washing jeans for fear of damaging them. Instead, 20% have worn them again without washing, 20% have hand-washed them and 14% have spot-cleaned only visibly dirty areas.</p>



<p>On average, Brits wear their jeans six times before washing them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Building confidence in garment care</strong></h2>



<p>Clearer guidance and reassurance could help people feel more confident about washing their clothes. Almost half (45%) said successfully cleaning an item before would give them greater confidence, while 34% said clearer care labels and instructions would help.</p>



<p>A guarantee that an item would not shrink, fade or lose its shape would reassure 34%, while 27% said they would feel more confident with an appliance that automatically detects fabric and adjusts the cycle accordingly.</p>



<p><strong>Zeena Hill, Senior Director of Marketing for Home Entertainment and Appliances, Samsung UK & Ireland</strong>, said: <em>“Most of us have items we love but leave hanging in the wardrobe because we dread the washing guesswork, or worry about shrinking a favourite piece. Laundry anxiety shouldn’t dictate what we wear.</em></p>



<p><em>“The real value of our Bespoke AI laundry range is that it takes the worry off your hands. Rather than making you guess if a delicate item can handle a spin, our AI Wash+ feature uses advanced sensors to read the fabric type and weight, automatically tailoring the cycle to treat delicates with precision they require.</em></p>



<p><em>“And on those damp British days where indoor drying is a battle, you can simply download the Cloudy Day cycle to maximise spin efficiency. The best technology doesn’t ask you to become a laundry expert – it takes the doubt out of the laundry room.”</em></p>



<p>Alongside advanced fabric sensing <sup data-fn="c578b94c-3489-48ca-ba6c-57b082b1cb60" class="fn"><a href="#c578b94c-3489-48ca-ba6c-57b082b1cb60" id="c578b94c-3489-48ca-ba6c-57b082b1cb60-link">1</a></sup>, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/washers-and-dryers/washing-machines/wf90h-24-front-loading-washer-smart-screen-9kg-gray-wf90h09c4st1/">Bespoke AI Series 9 Washing Machine</a> delivers class-leading A-65% energy efficiency<sup data-fn="f5896392-02dc-4a73-ac74-ff2b2412b49f" class="fn"><a href="#f5896392-02dc-4a73-ac74-ff2b2412b49f" id="f5896392-02dc-4a73-ac74-ff2b2412b49f-link">2</a></sup> and connects seamlessly with the SmartThings ecosystem to help households monitor energy consumption, automate detergent reordering, and customise specialty cycles.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />


<ol class="wp-block-footnotes"><li id="c578b94c-3489-48ca-ba6c-57b082b1cb60">Fabric sensing uses an AI algorithm to sense 5 fabric types (Cotton, Delicates, Towels, Denim, Outdoor) for loads up to 2kg.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mobile: choosing your next phone</strong></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Which new smartphones are the best for you?</strong></h2>



<p>The best smartphone depends on what matters most to you, whether that’s photography, productivity, entertainment or a design that fits your lifestyle. Battery life, camera capabilities, display size and long-term software support are all worth considering.</p>



<p>If your battery struggles to last the day, storage is running out or your phone no longer receives regular security updates, it may be time to upgrade. Eligible Galaxy devices offer up to seven years of OS and security updates, helping you get more from your phone over time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Which phone has the best camera?</strong></h2>



<p>When comparing smartphone cameras, look beyond megapixels alone. <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-sets-a-new-standard-for-night-photography" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Low-light performance</a>, detail, exposure and image processing all affect the final result. AI-enhanced features can help balance bright and dark areas, optimise images and, on compatible devices, remove unwanted objects from photos.</p>

<p><strong>Jeremy Demont, Director of TV/AV Product Management at Samsung UK & Ireland</strong>, says: <em>“Buying a TV is a big decision, and choosing the right screen size is an important part of it. A larger screen can make films, sport and gaming feel more immersive, while features such as AI upscaling help bring out the best in the content you already watch. It’s worth looking at the picture technology as well as the inches, so you can feel confident that a bigger screen will deliver an experience you’ll enjoy every day. Think about what matters most to you because you’ll want to enjoy your TV for years to come, so reliability matters too.”</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Home: making everyday tasks easier</strong></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Are AI-enabled home appliances worth it?</strong></h2>



<p>Look for features that make a genuine difference to your routine, whether that’s managing energy use, simplifying laundry or connecting appliances to your phone.</p>



<p>Samsung’s AI Energy Mode can reduce washing machine energy use by up to 70% under specified test conditions<sup data-fn="fb1abb88-671e-4280-bfb5-6f2eb5ffd422" class="fn"><a href="#fb1abb88-671e-4280-bfb5-6f2eb5ffd422" id="fb1abb88-671e-4280-bfb5-6f2eb5ffd422-link">9</a></sup>, while compatible heat pump dryers can reduce energy use by up to 20%<sup data-fn="1885d968-9a3c-42b5-8063-e048e4c38f9b" class="fn"><a href="#1885d968-9a3c-42b5-8063-e048e4c38f9b" id="1885d968-9a3c-42b5-8063-e048e4c38f9b-link">10</a></sup>. <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/a-smartthings-connected-home-is-simpler-than-you-think" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SmartThings also lets you monitor and control compatible connected appliances</a>.</p>



<p><strong>Zeena Hill, Senior Marketing Director for Home Entertainment and Appliances at Samsung UK & Ireland, says</strong>: <em>“Time is precious, and the real value of our household appliances is how they ease the daily demands of life. From taking the guesswork out of how much detergent to use or which wash programme to choose, to helping you keep track of what’s in your fridge and what you need to buy next, our appliances can take some of the mental load out of running a home. The best technology doesn’t just perform a task, it takes the decisions around it off your hands.”</em></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI that adapts to people</h2>



<p>The next phase of consumer AI will not be defined by how often people think about it, but by how naturally it fits into their lives. Samsung’s approach is to make AI easy to adopt: technology that understands preferences, responds to context and removes small points of friction without requiring people to learn new behaviours.</p>



<p>This idea was central to Samsung Connect at IFA 2026, where Samsung showed how its ‘Companion to AI Living’ vision is taking shape across the connected ecosystem. The aim is simple: AI should work for people, quietly personalising experiences and making familiar tasks easier.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TV becomes a personalised companion</h2>



<p>The TV is one of the clearest examples. Samsung TVs already use AI to improve lower-resolution content and enhance sound so dialogue is easier to hear. Vision AI Companion <sup data-fn="46956788-03cf-4397-8962-6793a5a86567" class="fn"><a href="#46956788-03cf-4397-8962-6793a5a86567" id="46956788-03cf-4397-8962-6793a5a86567-link">1</a></sup> takes this further by learning what viewers like and proactively offering personalised recommendations at the right moment.</p>



<p>It also brings together AI services including Bixby, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, allowing viewers to use natural conversation to discover content or find contextual information. The technology becomes part of the viewing experience rather than another system to manage – AI working in the background, ready when it is useful.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="601" height="429" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/11094259/RGB-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26055" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Samsung uses AI across the viewing experience, from optimising Micro RGB picture quality in real time to providing personalised recommendations through Vision AI Companion.</em></figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A connected home that reduces everyday effort</h2>



<p>The same principle extends into the home. Through SmartThings, connected devices can share useful updates across screens, smartphones and wearables – such as letting someone know when the washing is finished, wherever their attention happens to be.</p>



<p>In the kitchen, the latest Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub uses AI Vision to recognise more food items and suggest recipes tailored to individual tastes. Samsung’s AI-powered appliances are designed to support existing routines, helping households manage food, energy and everyday tasks with less effort.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="589" height="393" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/11093753/image.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-26053" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Samsung’s connected appliances use AI to provide timely information and recommendations that help everyday routines run more smoothly.</em></figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mobile AI that keeps people in the moment</h2>



<p>On mobile devices, Samsung is applying the same thinking to creativity and communication. Features such as My FanCam on the Galaxy S26 FE can track a subject, crop footage and create social clips automatically, reducing the time and technical steps needed to turn a moment into content.</p>



<p>Across each category, the role of AI is consistent. It should simplify the experience, not add complexity. By building intelligence into devices people already use and connecting those experiences through its ecosystem, Samsung is making AI feel less like a new technology to adopt and more like a natural companion to everyday life.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="354" height="531" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/11094110/Galaxy-S26-FE-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26054" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Samsung is integrating practical AI across its connected ecosystem to make personalised experiences easier to access and use.</em></figcaption></figure>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced major software updates<sup data-fn="85ac9870-dd22-4c99-9c0b-4434062a35a2" class="fn"><a href="#85ac9870-dd22-4c99-9c0b-4434062a35a2" id="85ac9870-dd22-4c99-9c0b-4434062a35a2-link">1</a></sup> for select refrigerators and laundry appliances. Beginning in September, the update to Tizen OS 10.0 will bring key services and features to select existing appliances in line with those offered on models launched this year.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/10154351/Press-Release-Samsung-Enhances-Long-Term-Value-of-Refrigerators-and-Laundry_low-1000x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26043" /></figure>



<p><em>“Home appliances are products that consumers rely on for many years. We believe supporting them over time requires not only reliable hardware, but also software that continues to evolve,”</em> said <strong>Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of the R&D Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics</strong>. <em>“Through this latest regular software update, we aim to help our appliances remain useful and up to date throughout the ownership journey, enhancing the long-term value consumers receive from products they already own.”</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub’s Newest AI Features Expand Globally</h2>



<p>Building on the software update first introduced to <a href="https://bit.ly/3QTaNiD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">select Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hubs in the U.S. in May</a>, Samsung is expanding its newest AI-powered refrigerator experiences to additional global markets.</p>



<p>Refrigerators with built-in cameras and AI Vision, including 21.5-inch and 32-inch Family Hub released between 2021 and 2025 plus select 9-inch Family Hub models released in 2025, will receive the updated AI Vision built with Google Gemini.<sup data-fn="0b30828e-7cad-49c1-9c4b-7e2b64210b03" class="fn"><a href="#0b30828e-7cad-49c1-9c4b-7e2b64210b03" id="0b30828e-7cad-49c1-9c4b-7e2b64210b03-link">2</a></sup> The update expands the refrigerator’s ability to recognise and manage food items, helping users keep track of what is stored inside and make everyday food management easier.</p>



<p>With this update the refrigerator can recognise a much wider range of fresh and packaged foods, including branded and region-specific items.</p>



<p>In addition, screen-based experiences like Now Brief <sup data-fn="c344c263-f82e-43b4-b968-31953edadd13" class="fn"><a href="#c344c263-f82e-43b4-b968-31953edadd13" id="c344c263-f82e-43b4-b968-31953edadd13-link">3</a></sup> and What’s for Today? provide users with personalised information and help simplify meal decisions on a daily basis.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seamless Interaction with Bespoke AI Laundry Appliances</h2>



<p>Samsung is also extending its latest software experiences to select laundry appliances released in 2024 and 2025, including Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, Washer, and Dryer models.</p>



<p>A key part of the update is Bixby,<sup data-fn="756f72f5-dd38-459a-b9ca-11f0c5060d88" class="fn"><a href="#756f72f5-dd38-459a-b9ca-11f0c5060d88" id="756f72f5-dd38-459a-b9ca-11f0c5060d88-link">4</a></sup> which enhances voice recognition and enables more natural interactions with laundry appliances. This allows users to communicate with their appliances more intuitively while carrying out everyday laundry tasks. For example, users can simply say, “When will my laundry be finished?” and Bixby will understand and reply with a phrase such as, “Your laundry is set to finish in two hours and 25 minutes.” <sup data-fn="7a84752f-69b9-47fa-add7-ba3c34f34479" class="fn"><a href="#7a84752f-69b9-47fa-add7-ba3c34f34479" id="7a84752f-69b9-47fa-add7-ba3c34f34479-link">5</a></sup></p>



<p>The update will introduce a refreshed interface aligned with Samsung’s latest laundry experience, offering more intuitive controls and information delivery on applicable models equipped with 7-inch Smart Screens. This will be achieved by adding Easy Mode<sup data-fn="b33d0684-ec74-497d-87aa-015ba59155e8" class="fn"><a href="#b33d0684-ec74-497d-87aa-015ba59155e8" id="b33d0684-ec74-497d-87aa-015ba59155e8-link">6</a></sup>, which streamlines the screen layout and simplifies key information in an easy-to-access format.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Availability</h2>



<p>The updates will begin rolling out in phases from September 2026. Actual timing, supported features, and availability may vary by product, model year, and market <sup data-fn="6f4737fd-1a4e-4170-9ca0-53c0f0d07f0c" class="fn"><a href="#6f4737fd-1a4e-4170-9ca0-53c0f0d07f0c" id="6f4737fd-1a4e-4170-9ca0-53c0f0d07f0c-link">7</a></sup></p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it is expanding its flat design, previously available on select premium models, to its new front-load washing machine lineup. The new models are currently on display at Samsung Connect, Samsung’s exhibition being held during IFA 2026 from Sept. 2-6, offering visitors an early look ahead of the official launch.<sup data-fn="ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253" class="fn"><a href="#ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253" id="ad501349-948b-44ee-8392-11dbe13ce253-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>“Customers around the world increasingly expect home appliances to harmonise with their living environments,” said Hyoung Min Park, Vice President and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing our flat design to a wider range of laundry appliances, Samsung aims to deliver a consistent design experience that combines refined aesthetics with thoughtful usability.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Refined Flat Design Improves Interior Fit and Usability </h2>



<p>Samsung’s expansion of its signature flat design to the new washing machine lineup marks the latest evolution of the company’s design approach across its home appliance portfolio.</p>



<p>Compared to Samsung’s previous designs that featured more protruding front elements, the updated design offers a flat front surface with a more uniform appearance. This creates a cleaner, more sophisticated look that blends naturally into modern interiors and living environments.</p>



<p>Beyond aesthetics, the design also enhances everyday usability. The larger door with a wider opening angle enables easier access when loading and unloading laundry, making the task more convenient. More broadly, the new lineup and the showcase during IFA reflect Samsung’s continued efforts to expand refined design experiences to more consumers and living spaces.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Features Designed for Everyday Laundry Needs</h2>



<p>In addition to the redesigned exterior, the new lineup incorporates key laundry technologies previously available on select premium models, bringing advanced washing experiences to more consumers. To address growing consumer demand for faster wash cycles and more efficient laundry routines, the lineup features Bubble Shot<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, which sprays water throughout the drum. This helps reduce wash time while maintaining effective cleaning performance, <sup data-fn="de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06" class="fn"><a href="#de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06" id="de9e1b5c-15d5-4397-a967-ba3041d0cb06-link">2</a></sup> providing a more convenient laundry experience for users.</p>



<p>The lineup also comes with Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which allows detergent to dissolve more quickly and distribute more evenly across fabrics, helping users save energy while washing clothes effectively, even at low temperatures.<sup data-fn="ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031" class="fn"><a href="#ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031" id="ee0d0e28-bc55-4f4e-b6eb-2361fb5da031-link">3</a></sup></p>



<p>By combining a refined exterior with advanced laundry technologies, Samsung’s new washing machine lineup delivers a more intuitive laundry experience across diverse households. The company will continue to expand user-focused design approaches and technologies across its home appliance portfolio.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exhibition Information</h2>



<p>Samsung is showcasing its latest innovations at Samsung Connect, which is being held at Humboldt Carré in Berlin from Sept. 2-6. The new washing machine lineup is on display, allowing visitors to see the products’ refreshed design ahead of their official launch.</p>

Product design and specifications are subject to change.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd<strong>. </strong>today announced that it will showcase a new Bespoke AI Washer model during IFA 2026 <sup data-fn="3b9e1e89-2d5c-4143-afd4-e7e7dfa58c90" class="fn"><a href="#3b9e1e89-2d5c-4143-afd4-e7e7dfa58c90" id="3b9e1e89-2d5c-4143-afd4-e7e7dfa58c90-link">1</a></sup> that will be coming to the UK. A 13kg large-capacity model engineered to fit within a standard 600mm depth.</p>



<p>As the official main sponsor of the IFA Creator Hub, Samsung will showcase its latest innovations at Humboldt Carré in Berlin, Germany from Sept. 2-6. The new Bespoke AI Washer will be among the products on display, highlighting Samsung’s latest advances in technology.</p>



<p>The new model combines improved energy efficiency and greater capacity with space-efficient design and AI-powered fabric care to help consumers manage laundry more efficiently and conveniently.</p>



<p>“At Samsung, we are continually challenging the traditional trade-offs between energy efficiency, capacity and convenience,” said Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “During IFA 2026, we’re demonstrating how innovation can help consumers save energy, handle larger loads and enjoy a more intelligent and convenient laundry experience.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">13kg Bespoke AI Washer Offers Increased Capacity With Standard-Depth Footprint</h2>



<p>Samsung will showcase the new Bespoke AI Washer with large capacity, which brings a 13kg washing capacity to a standard European design depth of 600 mm.</p>



<p>Using SpaceMax<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which creates more space inside to enhance the mechanical design and incorporate a larger drum without increasing the external dimensions, the washer increases internal volume while maintaining a compact 24-inch form factor. This space-efficient design allows users to wash larger loads, bedding, and bulkier items while helping the appliance fit within common European kitchen, utility-room, and furniture configurations.</p>



<p>The washer also incorporates Samsung’s mono-body design, creating a unified form designed to blend naturally into a wide range of interiors. A slim front frame reinforces its streamlined silhouette, while refined colours, materials, and finishes contribute to a clean, understated appearance.</p>



<p>At the centre of the interface is a large touch display visually integrated with the detergent compartment. From this display, users can intuitively access cycle controls, connected features, and personalised laundry services through SmartThings.<sup data-fn="f91af41d-dd89-4342-bfb1-7dfa754b60a0" class="fn"><a href="#f91af41d-dd89-4342-bfb1-7dfa754b60a0" id="f91af41d-dd89-4342-bfb1-7dfa754b60a0-link">2</a></sup></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Larger 10kg Bespoke AI Washer Brings New Efficiency Milestone</h2>



<p>There will also be a new Bespoke AI Washer with A-70% energy efficiency<sup data-fn="6bcce8bd-1451-4fe0-8017-3da829bebd13" class="fn"><a href="#6bcce8bd-1451-4fe0-8017-3da829bebd13" id="6bcce8bd-1451-4fe0-8017-3da829bebd13-link">3</a></sup> that marks a new step forward for Samsung, following the A-55% Bespoke AI Washer introduced at IFA 2024 and the A-65% model showcased at IFA 2025.</p>



<p>The new washer will be designed to consume up to 70% less energy than the minimum energy efficiency requirement for a Class A rating in Europe, while increasing washing capacity from 9 kg <sup data-fn="f856a050-9b17-4e9f-a123-2dd1112d6fe9" class="fn"><a href="#f856a050-9b17-4e9f-a123-2dd1112d6fe9" id="f856a050-9b17-4e9f-a123-2dd1112d6fe9-link">4</a></sup> to 10 kg. By improving capacity and energy efficiency simultaneously, the new model builds on the company’s continued research into overcoming the traditional compromise between washing larger loads and reducing energy consumption.</p>



<p>Samsung has achieved these gains through engineering improvements across key areas, including motor efficiency, thermal management, and wash-cycle design. Together, these technologies reduce electricity consumption while maintaining effective cleaning performance and everyday usability.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Auto Open Door Helps Keep the Washer Interior Fresh</h2>



<p>For added convenience, both washers feature Auto Open Door. Once a wash cycle is complete, the washer door opens gradually to help release residual moisture from inside the drum. By automatically ventilating the interior after a cycle, Auto Open Door helps keep the washer interior fresh between cycles.</p>



<p>Together, the new A-70% and 13 kg Bespoke AI Washers reflect Samsung’s continued effort to challenge  traditional laundry trade-offs. They deliver great capacity with lower energy consumption, making everyday laundry more intelligent and convenient.</p>
