Samsung unveils its first AI-equipped top-load washing machine

Samsung has announced its first top-load washing machine with AI features. It is called the Bespoke AI Top Load Washer and will be available in three sizes: 21-inch, 24-inch, and 25-inch. It has three AI features that improve the washing experience and performance.

Before the arrival of this new washer, Samsung's AI features were limited to front-load washers and dryers.

The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer is a smart appliance, which means you can control it using the SmartThings app. It also has three AI features: AI Energy Mode, AI Vibration Reduction Technology Plus (VRT+), and AI Wash. The Bespoke AI Top Load Washer is available in five colors: Black Caviar, Brushed Navy, Deep Charcoal, Lavender Gray, and White.

You can save up to 20% of energy by using the AI Energy Mode. The AI VRT+ feature adjusts to various floor conditions to reduce noise and vibration. The system gathers a variety of signals from the washer and sends them to Samsung's AI servers, which calculate ideal settings for a more peaceful washing experience.

The AI Wash feature uses sensors to sense the laundry load, fabric type, and soiling level. Then, that data is factored in to automatically adjust detergent and water levels, washing and rinsing times, and agitation intensity. For example, the washer chooses low-power wash settings for gentle fabrics to reduce wear and tear by up to 25%.

It also features Ecobubble for a more effective cleaning performance. It achieves that with the help of BubbleStorm and Dual Storm systems. BubbleStorm uses a fan-like device to dissolve detergent into foam that can penetrate fabrics faster. Dual Storm is a pulsator system that mixes bubbles and clothes.

The Super Speed feature is excellent for those who want to get their laundry cleaned quickly (31 minutes). The Hygiene Steam feature uses hot water to help eliminate up to 99% of certain types of bacteria, while Stain Wash uses hot or warm water to remove tough stains like sweat marks.
