Samsung Launches Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™, Innovative All-in-One Laundry Solution in South Africa

This revolutionary all-in-one laundry solution combines a washing machine and dryer into a single unit, offering unparalleled convenience, efficiency, and style

Samsung launches the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ to the South African Market. This washing machine is redefining laundry with AI Technology. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ features advanced technology that learns and adapts to users’ laundry habits, providing personalised washing and drying cycles for optimal results. With its intuitive interface and smart connectivity, users can easily control and monitor their laundry from anywhere using the SmartThings app.

Elevating the Laundry Experience at Home With AI

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is designed to increase space without compromising functionality. This all-in-one combo seamlessly integrates a washer and dryer into a single unit, providing a space-saving and efficient laundry solution with broad functionality. It performs as effectively as two separate machines while conserving valuable space, and more importantly eliminates the need to transfer laundry between a washing machine and a dryer after the wash cycle finishes.

For users, this means they don’t have to keep checking the wash cycle’s progress in the attempt to prevent unpleasant odours and can use their time more flexibly. A key feature of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is the AI Wash & Dry,^[1] which sets a new standard for laundry efficiency. This advanced system uses a range of sensors to optimise both washing and drying for each load, freeing users from having to determine the optimal settings for each cycle.

Upon sensing the weight of the laundry, it dispenses the right amount of water and detergent. It also detects the fabric and monitors the level of soiling during the cycle, adjusting wash time and detergent use accordingly. After the wash cycle, the technology optimises the drying process based on the weight and fabric ^[2] – ensuring excellent cleaning and drying results. With AI Wash & Dry, users benefit from a thorough, more efficient^[3] and personalised laundry experience.

Seamless, Efficient User Experiences

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ offers an enhanced user experience with the AI Home,^[4]  an intuitive 7” wide LCD display that serves as a central control hub for laundry, and moreover the entire home. The wide display delivers substantial information about the laundry including cycle details, remaining amount of detergent and energy consumption. When showing cycles, the combo uses machine learning to remember user habits and recommend cycles^[5] based on periodic and seasonal needs.^[6]

When the cycle is finished, it provides an energy and water consumption report that can be viewed on the 7-inch LCD display or the SmartThings App.^[7] Additionally, users have clear view of the 3D Map View, which shows all connected appliances within the home and enables users to seamlessly monitor and control them.

With Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ you can now enjoy the updated Bixby^[8] which comes with better understanding capabilities allowing for more responsive interaction than before. Through AI, Bixby can understand complicated and casual conversations – allowing users to give multi-intended, complex commands.^[9]

Upon using the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™, users can ask “What’s the weather like?” and then say: “Start the wash cycle and lower the living room temperature,” and have their requests finished in one sequence. Bixby provides support for Device Q&A as well, assisting users when they have questions about certain features on their appliances. When an error is displayed on the LCD display, users can ask directly what this means – instead of having to look through the user manual or search on their phones.

Lastly, an exclusive offer for customers who purchase the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ in South Africa. For a limited time, customers can redeem a Galaxy Watch Ultra worth R9 999 when they buy the innovative all-in-one laundry solution. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ offers seamless ease of use between the appliance and other Samsung devices. With the Samsung SmartThings app, users can control and monitor their laundry from anywhere, and now, with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, they can take their laundry experience to the next level. Users can naturally say: ‘Open the washing machine door’ to the watch and then get a prompt response and see the action carried out.
