Samsung's new Bespoke microwave doesn't need micromanaging

Interestingly, one of the new kitchen appliances that didn't get the AI label is the latest over-the-range microwave. It, too, is now available for pre-order, and early adopters can get discounts of up to $160, along with free installation and a ‘Haul away Old Appliance' service.

But seeing how it doesn't boast AI, is there anything special about this new Bespoke over-the-range microwave? We've already talked about the clever AI-based solutions employed by the latest Bespoke Flex refrigerator, AI-enabled, self-cleaning range, and Bespoke AI Laundry combo, and why most smartphone enthusiasts would probably be impressed by their capabilities. But what about this new microwave?

Samsung's new Bespoke microwave is smart but not ‘AI smart'

Right off the bat, it's clear that Samsung doesn't use the term ‘AI' at all to describe the new Bespoke over-the-range microwave. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean the microwave doesn't have any smart capabilities.

For example, the microwave can sync with compatible Samsung ranges and cooktops to turn ventilation and lights on or off automatically. Likewise, users can adjust ventilation speed and cooking time and receive notifications when heating or cooking is finished right on their smartphones.

And, of course, the new Bespoke microwave is compatible with the SmartThings mobile app, where users get recipe recommendations via Samsung Food and can monitor and manage power usage.

One final smart feature worth mentioning is the Sensor Cook. It can automatically adjust cooking time to give you the best result and, according to Samsung, “takes the guesswork out of your cooking.”

If you want to buy the new Bespoke over-the-range microwave from Samsung, you can now save up to $160 when you pre-order. Hit the pre-order button below for more details.
