Samsung Electronics on Monday said that it will launch its latest
Bespoke Artificial Intelligence (AI) Combo washer-dryer globally within
the second quarter (Q2) of this year.
The Bespoke AI Combo, which
combines a 25 kg washing capacity with a 15 kg heat-pump drying
capability, debuted in South Korea late last month, reports Yonhap News
Agency.
Within just two weeks, it garnered significant popularity, with over 3,000 units sold in the country.
"We've
already initiated shipments to the United States, and the official
launch is scheduled for this month," Vice President Moo-hyung Lee of
Samsung Electronics' home appliance division said in a Press conference.
"The global launch is slated for the second quarter," he added.
He
said the new laundry appliance is targeting the South Korean and US
markets, acknowledging the different consumer preferences in Europe,
where smaller home appliances are favoured due to space constraints.
Samsung
said the new Bespoke AI Combo helps consumers experience streamlined
laundry routines and reduce energy consumption with a space-saving
design.
Utilising the company's high-efficiency heat pump
technology, the washer-dryer combo delivers standalone dryer-level
performance.
Moreover, its integration of high-performance AI
chips and the Tizen operating system enhances operational convenience
while optimising energy usage.
