Samsung highlights laundry solutions tailored to different household needs

Buying a washing machine isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds. Between capacity, washing cycles, energy efficiency, installation requirements and drying options, there’s quite a bit to consider. However, Samsung believes there’s a simpler way to narrow down the choices: start by looking at how laundry fits into the household’s everyday routine.

After all, different households have different laundry needs. Someone living alone might prioritise spending less time sorting clothes and choosing wash settings, while families may want an easier way to refresh frequently used garments and bedding. Pet owners, on the other hand, often have to deal with additional loads of clothes and towels.

With that in mind, Samsung’s range of washers and dryers comes with several features designed to address these everyday challenges.

Keep it simple for solo

Living alone means handling every step of the laundry process yourself, from sorting clothes to selecting the appropriate washing cycle and measuring detergent.

According to a Samsung global survey conducted in 2025 involving 3,200 respondents across four countries, these pre-wash tasks were among the more inconvenient aspects of doing laundry.

Samsung’s AI Wash feature aims to make things easier by detecting factors such as load weight and certain fabric types to help optimise washing performance. It can also sense how soiled the laundry is and adjust the amount of detergent and water accordingly.

For those who prefer having more control, manual cycle selection remains available on supported models. However, AI Wash offers a more hands-off approach for anyone who simply wants to load the machine and get on with their day.

Air Wash makes things easy for families

Not every garment or household item needs a complete wash after every use. Sometimes, a quick refresh is all that’s needed, particularly for frequently used clothes and bedding.

Samsung’s washer-dryer Combos feature Air Wash, which uses super-hot air to deodorise dry garments and bedding without requiring detergent or other chemicals. It’s designed to refresh suitable items while reducing the time and effort associated with a conventional wash.

Samsung also offers Drum Clean+ to help maintain the washing machine itself. The cycle removes dirt and eliminates 99.9% of certain odour-causing bacteria inside the drum, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Additionally, the machine sends a notification after every 40 wash cycles to remind users when it’s time for cleaning.

Extra capacity for the pets

Having pets around the house is great, but the additional laundry can quickly pile up. From muddy paw prints on clothes to damp towels after bath time, pet owners often find themselves running the washing machine more frequently.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo addresses this by combining washing and drying in a single appliance. Its large-capacity design allows households to handle more clothes, towels and other everyday items in one load, potentially reducing the number of cycles needed throughout the week.

Additionally, having both functions in one machine means there’s no need to transfer clothes from a washer to a separate dryer.

Selected models in Samsung’s Bespoke AI portfolio also offer a Pet Care cycle, providing another option for looking after items used by furry family members.

Simple, fast, easy

Sometimes, the most useful improvement to a household appliance is simply making it easier to operate.

Select Samsung models feature a 7-inch Smart Screen, bringing key laundry controls together in one interface. Users can browse available cycles, adjust settings such as rinse and spin levels, and personalise how each load is handled.

On the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, the screen also allows users to select washing and drying cycles, run drying-only programmes or prepare the machine for the transition between washing and drying. This flexibility can be particularly useful when users need to check their laundry and remove items that aren’t suitable for machine drying.

Beyond laundry, the Smart Screen provides access to energy-related reports and lets users monitor compatible SmartThings-connected appliances around the home.
