Samsung’s new washer-dryer combo fits nearly 20kg of laundry

Samsung’s new washer-dryer combo fits nearly 20kg of laundry

Samsung is going even bigger with its latest appliance in Australia, fitting even more clothes into its washer and dryer combo.

Dubbed the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, Samsung’s appliance fits up to 19.5kg in a single washing load, and as much as 10kg when used as a heat-pump dryer. Compared to the previous model, it fits an extra kilogram of washing. That might be excessive for those living the bachelor lifestyle, but families would no doubt take full advantage.

Designed as an all-in-one appliance that washes and dries laundry without needing two separate machines, the new combo costs $4,999 in Australia, putting it squarely in the premium category. Like many high-end laundry appliances, this one automates much of the washing process, like detergent dosing and adjusting cycles based on individual loads.

On its website, Samsung brandishes a 10-star energy efficiency rating, which applies specifically to the appliance’s drying mode. When washing clothes, it has a 4.5-star energy rating and a four-star water efficiency rating.

Much of the efficiency stems from Samsung’s “AI Energy Mode”, which is activated via the SmartThings smart home platform. When enabled, the 2026 Bespoke AI Laundry Combo uses up to 20 per cent less power when washing, and 10 per cent less when drying. SmartThings can also show real-time energy consumption data, helping you keep an eye on your power bill.

If you regularly forget to do your washing until the last minute, Samsung’s “Super Speed” cycle might appeal. According to the brand, it gets through a small load of laundry in 68 minutes, washing and drying included.

Oh, and you can also talk to the washing machine via Bixby. Advertised as understanding conversational language, the appliance can start cycles just from your voice. What a time to be alive.
