Samsung Bespoke AI Combo 2026 gets 25 kg washing capacity

Two versions are offered, with 7-inch and 2.8-inch screens

Samsung has unveiled the refreshed Bespoke AI Combo 2026 washer-dryer in South Korea. The updated model features an improved heat exchanger, increasing operating efficiency and adding 2 kg to the drying capacity. It can now wash up to 25 kg of laundry and dry up to 20 kg. Among washer-dryers, it is the highest-capacity model available on the South Korean market.

The company has revised its operating programmes as well. For instance, the Quick Course fast cycle is now 10 minutes shorter than on the 2025 model and 30 minutes quicker than the 2024 version.

Samsung has also broadened the appliance’s AI capabilities. The AI Custom+ system assesses the laundry load weight, fabric type and level of soiling, then automatically selects suitable washing and drying settings. The machine also includes an updated version of Bixby powered by a larger language model: the voice assistant can understand natural speech and answer users’ questions.

Another addition is Auto Open Door+, which opens the door automatically once a cycle has finished, allowing laundry to air and helping to prevent unpleasant odours. In Korea, the model is available in two variants: one with a 7-inch display, matching the previous generation, and a new option with a rotary control and a 2.8-inch screen. An international launch is expected during the year.
