Samsung Gears Up for CES 2026: Next-Gen AI Home Appliances Transform Daily Living

Samsung Electronics is preparing to debut an ambitious lineup of AI-powered home appliances at CES 2026, set to take place January 6-9 in Las Vegas. The showcase will feature four flagship innovations designed to revolutionize how people manage household tasks—from laundry and garment care to climate control and floor cleaning. Each product represents a significant leap forward in blending intelligent automation with user-centric design.

Laundry Just Got Smarter: The Upgraded Bespoke AI Laundry Combo

Building on its successful 2024 introduction, Samsung’s refreshed Laundry Combo tackles one of household’s biggest pain points: time-consuming wash-and-dry cycles. The 2026 model incorporates several game-changing upgrades that deliver both speed and care.

The standout feature is the Super Speed cycle, which employs high-pressure spray technology to optimize detergent penetration and rinsing—cutting wash times while maintaining cleaning effectiveness. On the drying side, the new Booster Heat Exchanger significantly improves moisture removal performance. After a wash-only cycle, the Auto Open Door+ function does more than unlock the drum; it activates internal air circulation to prevent that musty smell that plagues forgotten laundry.

Intelligence is baked in through the upgraded AI Wash & Dry+ system, which uses multiple sensors to fine-tune every load. It weighs garments to determine precise water and detergent amounts, recognizes five fabric types—including specialized modes for outdoor gear and denim—and monitors soil levels continuously. The new Wide Lint Filter features a two-layer design with expanded capture area for thorough debris collection, all accessible via a single-touch mechanism.

Samsung is also addressing price sensitivity with a new entry-level variant featuring a 2.8-inch LCD screen and jog dial, complementing the original 7-inch screen model.

Wrinkle-Free in Seconds: The Reimagined Bespoke AI AirDresser

Three years after its predecessor, Samsung’s upgraded AirDresser returns with enhanced wrinkle-fighting power and smarter drying logic. The star feature is the new Auto Wrinkle Care function, powered by an upgraded Dual AirWash and Dual JetSteam system that smooths out creases quickly—ideal for people who need to look polished in a rush.

Beyond wrinkle removal, the Dual JetSteam goes deeper, infusing high-temperature heat throughout fabric fibers to eliminate 99.9% of certain viruses and bacteria while reducing unpleasant odors by 99%. The intelligent drying course adapts automatically to load size—small, medium, or large—ensuring optimal results without over or under-drying that damages fabric quality.

A clever partnership feature is the Auto Cycle Link, which syncs with the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo. When a special care cycle (like Blouse Cycle) finishes on the washer, the AirDresser automatically queues the matching drying course, creating a seamless garment care journey. The refreshed design includes a streamlined One Body Door and 2.8-inch LCD screen for easier interaction.

Temperature Control Gets Personalized: Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner

Consumer research identified wind mode variety as a key purchasing driver, and Samsung answered directly. The new WindFree Air Conditioner integrates AI technology with Motion Wind capability, expanding the blade system from one to three—enabling airflow redirection based on user preferences.

The Triple Motion Wings generate seven distinct wind modes: Max Wind delivers cooling 15% faster for urgent relief; Surround Wind distributes air evenly across the room; Long Reach Wind projects cool air twice as far as standard models; and Down Wind pushes warm air downward for faster cool-air circulation throughout the space. Radar-powered AI Direct and Indirect Wind modes detect user presence and automatically adjust airflow direction for personalized comfort.

The cooling algorithm analyzes temperature, humidity, and room dimensions to activate AI Fast & Comfort Cooling, selecting from three operational modes based on usage patterns. Meanwhile, AI Energy Mode monitors behavior and external conditions to reduce compressor fluctuations by up to 30%, cutting energy consumption significantly without sacrificing performance.

Cleaning Gets Intelligent: Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra

The new Jet Bot Steam Ultra introduces deep-learning recognition technologies that minimize manual intervention. Powered by Qualcomm Dragonwing processing, the robot detects humans, cats, and dogs with high accuracy, plus identifies hard-to-spot obstacles like cables and rugs that could snag wheels.

A standout capability is AI Liquid Recognition, which spots liquid spills and decides autonomously whether to clean or avoid them based on user preferences. The upgraded Easy Pass Wheel technology raises the body while lowering wheels to clear thresholds up to 2.4 inches—a practical improvement for homes with step transitions.

What’s Next

Samsung’s AI-connected living ecosystem reflects a broader vision: appliances that learn user habits, communicate with each other, and adapt to lifestyle needs automatically. By merging customized AI logic with hardware durability, Samsung is redefining what “smart home” actually means in practice.

CES 2026 attendees can experience all four products firsthand at Samsung’s showroom inside Wynn Las Vegas. The event marks a significant milestone in how household appliances are evolving from static tools into responsive, learning systems that make daily routines simpler, faster, and more efficient.
