Laundry. It’s one of life’s never-ending tasks: Even as you’re washing clothes, more dirty items are piling up. Toss in confusing garment-care requirements and the risk of high-stakes mishaps—one stray sock can turn a whole load of dress shirts pink—and it’s no wonder guys avoid the laundry room like the plague.
But keeping your clothes clean and fresh doesn’t have to be a suffer-fest; you just need to get smarter about how you do it. Thanks to Samsung (yep, the same brand that makes feature-packed smartphones, tablets, and TVs), there’s now a galaxy-brain solution for life’s laundry conundrums: the Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo™ All-in-One Ultra Capacity Washer + Dryer.
This innovative combo makes it easy to keep your clothes clean and your laundry day headaches at bay. Forget about deciphering confusing wash settings or shuffling armfuls of damp clothing between machines—Samsung’s new washer + dryer combo eliminates all that and more, thanks to a whole lineup of smart features. Once you experience this way of doing laundry, you won’t go back to a traditional washer-dryer setup—and your clothes will thank you for it.
So, ready to revamp your laundry routine? Read on for our guide to cleaning all kinds of clothing with way less hassle.
Knock out all your dirty laundry—in just one go
Still ignoring that hamper? Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo™ makes quick work of any dirty-clothes pile. It offers a cavernous 5.3 cubic feet of space, enough to handle large loads with ease, and it’s lightning-fast compared to the heat pump washer + dryer combos on the market: Its Super Speed Cycle can wash and dry clothing in as little as 68 minutes total*—all in one machine, with no transferring. It’s not only convenient, but it will also prevent your clothes from getting musty in the washer while waiting to be dried.
Confused about garment care? Let Samsung handle it
Most washers and dryers feature a puzzling array of settings. (What does “permanent press” actually mean, anyway?) With the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™, you can skip the head-scratching and just select the AI Opti Wash & Dry™ cycle**. Once you load your garments, it’ll automatically detect the soil level, load size, and fabric type and adjust its settings throughout the cycle for a dirt-busting wash and a just-right dry perfectly tailored to your clothes.
Say goodbye to stubborn smells in your gear
Over time, high-performance clothing like workout shorts and shirts can develop…shall we say, high-performance smells? Here’s a simple solution: Toss your workout gear into the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ and select the Steam Wash setting. The machine will gently lift out stains and odors for a thorough cleaning.
Make your officewear dazzle
Everyone wants to look sharp at work, but that’s hard to do when your dress shirts are stained and wrinkly. Give them a spa day with the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™’s AI Bubble feature, available only on Bespoke Combo machines. The setting combines detergent, water, and air to generate a cleansing foam that penetrates deep into the fibers of each garment. After that, they’re treated to a fine-tuned drying cycle without any lag time. Samsung’s internal heater and fan circulate hot air through the drum and vent moisture for efficient drying (Pro tip: To have your dress shirts ready for you in the morning, remotely schedule your cycle and select the wrinkle-prevent option.) At the end of the cycle, the door automatically pops open to let any lingering moisture escape.
Cross one big to-do off your list: cleaning kids’ clothes
Ever-changing nap schedules. High-chair spills. Toddlers who turn into ninja-level climbers overnight. Dad life has plenty of challenges, but thanks to Samsung’s suite of smart features, ensuring a supply of clean clothing for your kid won’t be one of them anymore. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ offers hands-free voice activation, so you can turn your machine on, select a setting, and check cycle status, even if your hands are full of sippy cups. The machine also features a Flex Auto Dispense System that can hold up to 47 loads’ worth of detergent at a time, and it’ll automatically dispense the appropriate amount with exactly zero input needed from you. And with the SmartThings app***, you can get end-of-cycle notifications or even start or stop a cycle when you’re away from home. All of which leaves you free for other, more important tasks, like story time…or maybe a nap for yourself? (You know you deserve it.)
Care for synthetic fabrics, care for the planet
Plastic pollution is a serious issue nowadays, and unfortunately, laundry is part of the problem: Typical washing machines cause synthetic fabrics to shed microfibers during the wash cycle, and those tiny pieces of plastic can eventually wind up in the ocean. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ tackles this issue head-on: Unlike traditional washers, it has a Less Microfiber Cycle that’s tuned specifically for synthetic garments like golf shirts and rain jackets. It gently washes synthetic clothing to prevent microfiber shedding; testing from the Ocean Wise Plastics Lab showed that gentle cycles reduce microfiber shedding by up to 39 percent compared to old-school washing machines.**** That’s better for your clothes—and better for our environment, too.
