Samsung’s New Bespoke AI Laundry With AI Home Enables Smarter, More Efficient Laundry Care
Company expands screens to washers and dryers, advancing ‘Screens Everywhere’ vision
Heightened ease of use is enabled through upgraded AI Wash+ and AI Dry+
AUCKLAND, New Zealand – November 2025 – Samsung Electronics New Zealand recently announced the launch of its new washer and dryer products — the Bespoke AI Laundry with AI Home¹ — that integrate screens and Bespoke design to elevate the user experience.
This year’s Bespoke AI Laundry products incorporate the 7” AI Home screens, extending Samsung’s “Screens Everywhere” vision that was first presented at CES 2025. These screens offer intuitive control and monitoring of essential information related to the laundry experience, such as wash cycles and remaining detergent levels. They also remember user habits and consider periodic and seasonal needs, suggesting appropriate cycles to free users from having to consider the right cycle every time. The AI Home also functions as a central hub allowing users to monitor and control connected appliances.
“Last year’s launch of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo marked the beginning of integrating screens into our products, providing users access to essential information about laundry and home control,” says Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “This year, we are excited to unveil the complete Bespoke AI Laundry lineup, which caters to a wider range of customer needs and enables them to take advantage of these convenient screens.”
The Bespoke AI Washer & Dryer sets are designed to simplify laundry routines with advanced AI algorithms and sensors, optimising washing and drying performance while enhancing energy efficiency. The original AI Wash and AI Dry are upgraded to AI Wash+ and AI Dry+, with enhanced fabric detection abilities to ensure efficient and high-quality washing and drying for a wider variety of fabric types.
Large Capacity Washer & Dryer Set Brings Extensive Laundry Capabilities
Samsung has introduced a 19.5kg capacity washer and 17kg capacity dryer set, with each device featuring the 7” AI Home and utilising a sleek Bespoke design based on a fully unified flat-panel aesthetic. In addition to the flexibility of vertical or horizontal installation layouts, the substantial capacity allows users to wash large items, like king-sized bedding, with ease.
The washer now features the upgraded AI Wash+, which has been upgraded to newly detect outdoor fabrics and denim². Based on the detected fabric type, soil level and weight of the laundry, the AI Wash+ cycle efficiently³ cleans clothes by automatically adjusting detergent levels, rinsing time and wash settings. The washer also features a Bedding cycle that can sense the thickness of the blankets and adjust the cycle time and water usage accordingly⁴. Users can also experience next-level convenience with features like Auto Open Door.
Users will be able to enjoy thorough and gentle drying with AI Dry+, which has been upgraded to detect fabric types and take them into account to optimise drying⁵ along with real-time temperature, weight⁶ and moisture content. The upgraded feature’s AI algorithm uses an advanced sensor that carefully monitors various factors to detect four fabric types⁷, which results in benefits like heavy duty drying of fabrics such as denim. Previously, denim was harder to dry evenly due to thicker sections like pockets, but the dryer can now detect this fabric to reduce drying inconsistencies, delivering better performance.
The dryer also provides the Bedding feature, which also uses an advanced algorithm to detect a blanket’s size for optimised drying times and dryness⁸.
With the launch of these new products, Samsung continues to push the boundaries of innovation, offering highly intelligent, efficient and aesthetically pleasing appliances that simplify everyday life by delivering enhanced convenience to users.
The Bespoke Front-load Washer AI Home 19.5kg and Bespoke Hybrid Heat Pump Dryer AI Home 17kg can be purchased on samsung.com/nz or from select retailers.

¹ You will need a Samsung account to access AI Home, our network-based service that includes apps and our other smart features available through your device. Does not mean all services available on the AI Home are AI or generate information or outcomes using AI. Certain functions accessible through AI Home utilise AI-based algorithms, which are updated periodically to improve accuracy. AI-based algorithms may generate incomplete or incorrect information. Messages with cycle suggestions are displayed on the control panel or a smartphone with the SmartThings App. The SmartThings App is available on compatible Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.
² Based on an advanced AI-created algorithm. It may not detect certain fabrics or accurately identify them when a load includes a mixture of different fabric types. To prevent wear, wash like fabrics together. Based on an AI-created algorithm and internal testing using the AI Wash+ cycle on a 3kg load. A turbidity sensor operates for all weights, while fabric sensing operates for 3kg and under. Actual results may vary depending on individual use.

⁴ Washes dry blankets weighing up to 4 kg.
⁵ Only available when drying a single type of fabric. Must check the clothing care label before using the AI Dry+ cycle.
Based on an advanced AI algorithm, utilising moisture content and drying temperature data, it can detect four types of fabric: Denim, Towels, Normal and Delicates. The fabric detection capability was tested on a single type of fabric with a dry weight of 1-3 kg, after using the default spin-drying strength of a paired washing machine. AI Dry classifies fabric types based on the composition of the load. The feature can only detect one primary fabric type and will revert to regular drying settings when mixed fabric types are detected.
⁶ Applies to Heat Pump type only.
⁷ The types of detectable fabric are Normal, Heavy Duty, Synthetics, and Delicates for Vent Type, and Normal, Towel, Denim, Delicates for Heat Pump models.
⁸ Only available when drying small items. The Bedding drying cycle can dry up to 4 kg of dry comforters. For thin blankets the time is shortened and for thick blankets the time is increased to dry more evenly and thoroughly.
A thin blanket is IEC 60456 blanket (100% cotton, no filling, 240 x 160 cm). A thin blanket is only available connected with washer (WF90F ADS)'s bedding cycle by MultiControl.
Based on internal testing comparing the DV90F model (with the new Bedding cycle) to the DV17B9750CV/ model (pervious Bedding cycle) when drying 1 blanket (IEC 60456 blanket: 100% cotton, no filling, 240 x 160 cm). When a thin blanket is detected, and the drying time is reduced by 30 minutes.
A thick blanket is an ultra-fine fibre comforter (200 x 200 x 8 cm). Results may vary depending on the actual bedding and usage conditions.
