Lineup now includes a new BESPOKE AI™ Washer that boasts A-55% extra energy efficiency, along with a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ and a Bespoke Dishwasher
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced it is showcasing its latest energy-efficient appliance lineup for the European lifestyle at IFA 2024. The new product range includes a BESPOKE AI™ Washer with A-55% extra energy efficiency,[1] a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ that achieves an A rating for the complete cycle,[2] and an A-10% Bespoke Dishwasher. Drawing on its longstanding dedication to enhancing energy efficiency, Samsung has improved its core technologies to respond to the consumer needs for better ways to save energy in everyday life.
“Samsung has a long track record of bringing its energy efficient lineup to European markets, and IFA is an ideal setting for showcasing these types of solutions,” said Moohyung Lee, EVP and Head of the Customer Experience Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “We expect that new models will be the right choice for customers who are seeking for the extra energy efficiency at home.”
A More Efficient Washing Experience
The most notable achievement out of Samsung’s high-energy rating lineup at IFA 2024 is the BESPOKE AI™ Washer. The model, planned for next year’s launching, consumes up to 55% less energy than the minimum energy efficiency requirements for a Class A rating.[3] Following the A-40% model that launched in the first half this year, the new product has applied Samsung’s technologies to achieve an additional energy saving.
Samsung applies advanced technologies to achieve up to 55% less energy consumption than the minimum energy efficiency requirements for the Class A rating. The core of these advanced technologies is the Bubble Shot, which pulls soapy water through the circulation pump and sprays it on top of the laundry inside the drum. This makes washing more effective by drenching the laundry more easily and allowing the detergent to penetrate clothing evenly. It combines with Ecobubble™ and algorithms to enhance extra energy efficiency.
The implementation of AI Home[4] is an additional noteworthy change. This 7’’ wide LCD touchscreen on the device serves as an intuitive control center for the laundry. Not only can users quickly choose their laundry cycle, but they can also receive the personalized washing recommendations that suits their habits and periodic needs.[5] It allows for effective user control and laundry care.
All-in-one, Energy Efficient Laundry Solution
At IFA, Samsung is also displaying the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™, which will soon be available in the European market. The model combines a washer and a dryer in a single machine freeing users from the hassle of transferring the load to the dryer after washing. The combo is distinctive in that there is significant improvement in energy efficiency, achieving an A rating across the entire washing and drying cycle,[6] with an A-20% for washing.[7] This is the highest level in Samsung’s combo lineup in Europe.
Samsung has worked hard to improve the drying efficiency especially. The Heatpump Drying technology dries clothes quickly, gently and efficiently at low temperatures. Furthermore, a specially designed duct structure improves the efficiency of internal air circulation, allowing for the efficient reuse and transfer of heat energy. Meanwhile, to achieve a high energy rating in the wash only cycle, the Bubble Shot Technology is implemented. It make the laundry drench well by spraying soapy water from the top using the circulation pump. As a result, the combo’s complete wash cycle exceeds the minimum energy efficiency requirements for the Class A threshold by up to 20%, with the wash and dry cycle receiving a well-deserved Class A.
Clean Effectively, Save More Energy
The Bespoke Dishwasher[8][9] with extra energy efficiency will be also displayed at IFA 2024. It not only boasts a stylish look with its Kitchen Fit™ Sliding Door[10] design that seamlessly matches kitchen furniture, but also offers effective performance while saving energy by up to 10% than the requirements for an A energy rating.
A WaterJet Clean™ and an Active Fan Dry system play an important role in delivering this extra efficiency. First, WaterJet Clean™ delivers intensive cleaning from every angle with rotating dual wash arms, thanks to the specially designed All-in-one Sump module.[11] It generates a unique flow path to make the product exceptionally power efficient and uses only 7.9 liters[12] of water ― which is a significantly low level compared to conventional models[13] ― without impacting its performance.
The Active Fan Dry system,[14] on the other hand, enhances internal air circulation, leading to less energy consumption. It blows gentle and moderate wind using two fans on the walls of the tub during drying. Since this wind helps evaporate moisture, less latent heat is required from the rinsing water. Therefore, it reduces the amount of energy used for heating the rinsing water. As a result, users can neatly finish the cycle with enhanced energy efficiency.
Additional Energy Savings Through SmartThings Connectivity
With these advancements in hardware, Samsung’s new energy efficient lineup also support SmartThings AI Energy Mode.[15] After connecting appliances to SmartThings, users can check daily, weekly and monthly power consumption. And when the estimated monthly electricity bill exceeds the targeted amount, they can activate AI Energy Mode through SmartThings app to proactively save energy. With the cycles that work with AI Energy Mode, the BESPOKE AI™ Washer saves energy usage by up to 70%,[16] the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ saves energy up to 60% on washing and up to 30% on drying.[17] And the dishwasher uses up to 21% less energy with the Pots & Pans program.[18]
Visitors at IFA 2024 ― being held in Berlin from September 6 to 10 ― will be able to see Samsung’s new energy efficient appliances at Samsung booth. The Bespoke Dishwasher is currently available in several European countries and the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ is set to launch in select European countries in the fourth quarter this year. And the BESPOKE AI™ Washer will roll out in different European countries early next year.
