Samsung has introduced the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo in Kenya, a single appliance that combines washing and drying capabilities. This innovative product aims to make laundry less demanding by bringing intelligent technology, automated detergent dispensing, and connected-home features into one design. The all-in-one appliance is intended to save space and simplify everyday routines for households. With this launch, Samsung is targeting consumers who want to spend less time managing household chores while making better use of available space.
The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo handles both washing and drying stages within the same machine, eliminating the need for users to transfer clothes from a washing machine to a separate dryer. Users can load their laundry, select a programme, and let the appliance complete the wash-and-dry process without manual intervention between cycles. This integrated design is particularly useful for households looking to maximise available space. By combining two appliances into one, Samsung offers an alternative for homes that want the convenience of machine drying without having to accommodate a separate dryer.
Selected models of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo feature ventless heat-pump drying, which recirculates heated air rather than requiring an external exhaust vent. This technology can consume less energy than conventional electric resistance drying, depending on the model and operating conditions. Additionally, the appliance features Samsung’s Flex Auto Dispense System on supported models, which automatically releases detergent and fabric softener according to the load and selected settings. This eliminates the need to measure cleaning products before every wash.
Samsung’s AI OptiWash & Dry technology takes some of the guesswork out of laundry care. Using sensors to assess factors such as load weight, fabric characteristics, and soil levels, the system helps determine appropriate washing and drying settings for different loads. This reduces the need for users to repeatedly adjust programmes and settings when switching between everyday clothing and other household fabrics. The appliance also features a dispenser that can hold enough detergent for multiple loads, reducing the frequency of refills.
For households managing frequent laundry loads, selected models of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo offer Super Speed Wash & Dry, designed to complete a full wash-and-dry load in approximately an hour under specified conditions. Actual cycle times vary depending on load size, fabric type, and the programme selected. This feature is particularly useful for households with large or bulky laundry loads.
The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo also features connected-home capabilities through Wi-Fi and SmartThings integration on supported models. Users can receive notifications when a cycle is complete and access available remote-control functions through a compatible smartphone. Selected models also feature a seven-inch AI Home touchscreen, providing access to programmes, settings, and connected features. Voice control on compatible models offers an additional way to interact with the appliance.
The launch of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo reflects Samsung’s broader push to bring artificial intelligence and automation into everyday household appliances. By combining washing, drying, and digital controls, the company is targeting consumers who want to spend less time managing household chores while making better use of available space. The all-in-one design offers an alternative to traditional laundry setups, bringing several stages of the process into one appliance.
