New 1Door Fridge & Freezer and Bespoke AI Dishwasher deliver precision cooling and adaptive cleaning for today’s modular kitchens

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – May 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled three new kitchen appliances — the 1Door Fridge & Freezer and Bespoke AI Dishwasher. Developed under a design philosophy that prioritises seamless integration and intelligent performance, the line-up brings enhancements across cooling and dish care.

 

“With this line-up, we're strengthening Samsung’s position in the premium kitchen by combining seamless design with purposeful intelligence,” said Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of the Customer Experience Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “From AI-driven cooling to adaptive dish care, these appliances are engineered to respond to real usage patterns, helping people create kitchens that are both refined and responsive.”

 

 

Precision Cooling and Seamless Access for Modern Kitchens

 

1Door Fridge & Freezer offer flexible options to suit different storage needs. The two units can be used together as a coordinated pair or selected individually to expand refrigeration or freezing capacity as required. Additionally, the fridge introduces enhanced cooling functionality designed to improve freshness management. The 1Door Fridge and Freezer is available now in New Zealand.

 

Energy Efficient Dishwashers With Intelligent Cleaning Performance

 

The Bespoke AI Dishwasher line-up is designed to address varying energy standards and lifestyle needs across global markets. The product is available in Built-Under types,¹ supporting both integrated cabinetry environments and more traditional kitchen configurations.

 

Cleaning performance is driven by AI Wash,² which uses a high-resolution turbidity sensor and machine learning algorithm to measure food particles at each stage of the cycle. Based on this analysis, the system automatically adjusts washing and rinsing times to effectively remove stubborn residue — without the need for pre-rinsing. The upgraded,³ space-saving 3rd Rack Washing System further enhances flexibility by providing dedicated zones for cutlery, utensils and drinkware. The Bespoke AI Dishwasher will be available from August.
