A washer and dryer combined into one hassle free, space efficient machine with large capacity, along with various AI features that enhances users’ lifestyles
AUCKLAND, New Zealand – September 30, 2024 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has just announced that it is launching the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ in New Zealand. First introduced at IFA 2023 in Berlin, the all-in-one washer and dryer combo is set to redefine laundry experiences by combining a washer and a dryer into a single space efficient appliance that finishes the wash and dry cycle in one queue. The Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ also leverages advanced AI, and a 7” display to provide an easy, entertaining laundry experience.
All-in-One Laundry Solution for a Hassle-free Laundry Experience
Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ seamlessly integrates a washer and dryer into a single unit while performing as effectively as two separate machines by utilising Samsung’s BubbleWash and Heatpump Drying Technology. It can provide an efficient and space-saving laundry solution.
First, as it combines two machines into one, it eliminates the hassle for customers to move the laundry after washing. Users that wait for their laundry cycles to finish to immediately move it to the dryer to prevent odours, are allowed more flexible use of their time. Users can also save their valuable space, enabling users to take advantage of the freed-up space for their interior needs while enjoying benefits of a washer and a dryer at the same time.
Moreover, the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ provides the large capacity of 18kg of washing and 10kg of drying, which makes better use of advantages of an All-in-One design. The big drum size is large enough to load even a king-sized comforter, and lots of clothes into a single load as well. Users now can spend less time in the laundry room and can enjoy more time outside.
Elevating the Laundry Experience at Home with AI
A key feature of the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ is the AI Wash & Dry,[2] which revolutionises laundry efficiency. This advanced system uses a range of sensors to optimise both washing and drying for each load, freeing users from having to contemplate over the optimal settings for each cycle. Upon sensing the weight of the laundry, it accurately dispenses the right amount of water and detergent. It also detects the fabric and monitors the level of soiling during the cycle, and adjusts washing time and detergent use accordingly. After the wash cycle, the technology customises the drying process based on the weight and fabric,[3] ensuring excellent cleaning and drying results. With AI Wash & Dry, users benefit from a thorough, more efficient[4] and personalised laundry experience.
The Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ offers an enhanced user experience with the intuitive 7” wide LCD display that serves as a central control hub for laundry, and moreover the entire home. With a wide display, it delivers substantial information about the laundry starting with course details, remaining amount of detergent, and energy consumption. When showing courses, the combo uses machine learning to remember user habits and recommend cycles[5] based on periodic and seasonal needs.[6] When the course is finished, it provides an energy and water consumption report that can be viewed on the LCD display or in the SmartThings App.[7] Additionally, users have clear view of the 3D Map View, which shows all connected appliances[8] within the home and enables users to seamlessly monitor and turn them on/off. Users can check if the air conditioner is on, or get the robot vacuum cleaner to start cleaning, all while they are in the laundry room.
Availability
The Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo™ will be available in New Zealand from 23rd September 2024.
