At CES 2024 earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its new home appliance lineup. Today, the company has announced the global launch of its new home appliance lineup, including 14 new products, for this year. The new appliances in the lineup were showcased at separate events titled ‘Welcome to BESPOKE AI’ in Paris and New York City.
Samsung showcases BESPOKE AI home appliances lineup and launches it globally
Samsung has added SmartThings connectivity to most of its new home appliances launched this year. Samsung DX CEI JK Han said that the new appliances can do a lot more than just the basic tasks. The refrigerator, induction range, and laundry machines have large touchscreen displays for improved connectivity and smart home integration. Samsung also showcased the new 3D Map View functionality in the SmartThings app. It offers enhanced usability and a bird’s eye view of all smart home devices in the home.
The 4-Door Flex AI Family Hub+ Refrigerator has a giant 32-inch touchscreen and an internal camera. You can view what’s inside the refrigerator without opening its doors. The refrigerator keeps track of groceries inside, tracks their expiry date, offers recipe suggestions via Samsung Food, and reminds you to refill your groceries. It can even send recipe instructions to Samsung’s new induction range or microwave oven. It can also be used to stream videos, listen to music, and control smart home devices.
The Bespoke Infinite Induction Line has a 7-inch touchscreen that can display recipes, notifications from your home, and videos. The Bespoke Slide-in Range with AI Home has a built-in microwave with an internal camera that shows your cooking progress. You can watch the cooking progress video on your Samsung TV while watching movies.
The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo has a dryer and washer in the same device. It also features a 7-inch touchscreen that lets you easily select washing programs, adjust various factors according to the washing load, and send instructions to your phone, refrigerator, or TV when the washing and drying tasks are finished. You can even watch the live video feed from the security camera or a connected smart doorbell camera.
The Bespoke Jet Bot Combo is a robot vacuum cleaner with a built-in mop. It uses the camera, sensors, and AI to intelligently recognize nearby objects, map the whole home in 3D, and adjust cleaning metrics and performance as per the flooring and dirt. It can automatically empty dirty water and get refilled with clean water from its charging station (Clean Station Steam+). It sprays high-temperature steam on the mop to dry it and clean 99.99% of harmful bacteria.
Samsung’s Mobile Smart Connect pushes an alert to the phone when it is close to a registered home appliance. The phone gets a pop-up notification with frequently used quick controls, reducing the need for a remote controller. The Calm Onboarding feature reduces the hassle of registering a product and connecting to it. Products purchased via a Samsung account are automatically registered and added to the SmartThings app.
Samsung DX CEO JK Han said, “Since the first introduction of BESPOKE in 2019, Samsung Electronics has presented to the market on how appliances can be customized to best fit each user’s home and lifestyle. Five years later, we now share our vision for AI in appliances with the products that expand the Bespoke legacy through enhanced connectivity and AI capabilities that will take the consumer experience to the next level.”
