Samsung’s CES 2026: New AI-powered home appliances

Samsung has given us a glimpse into its upcoming 2026 home appliances as we approach the first hours of CES 2026, the annual international consumer electronics trade show held in Las Vegas, USA.

As with its previous years, Samsung’s latest and greatest home appliances are AI-powered, with new toys like steaming wardrobes, laundry machines, robot vacuums, and air conditioners all getting upgrades.

While it’s still early days with little to no details on specifications (like weight, or suction power), we are at least privy to the key changes that supposedly make these new appliances improved over their predecessors. Here are the updates in a nutshell.

Bespoke AI Laundry Combo: better detergent penetration

First debuted in 2024, the updated Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo has shorter wash-to-dry cycles owing to its improved detergent penetration.

This 2-in-1 washer-dryer machine also comes with several new hardware perks. There’s a Super Speed cycle that uses its Speed Spray for faster washing, a new Booster Heat Exchanger for improved drying, and a new Auto Open Door+ that mitigates musty smells by popping the laundry door open when the washing is done.

Its automatic AI Wash & Dry cycle also received upgrades. It now reads the laundry weight to figure out optimal amounts of detergent and water, and it can even tell apart from five different fabrics on top of real-time checking of cleanliness.

Perhaps more exciting is that Bespoke AI Laundry Combo now has an additional model with a 2.8-inch LCD panel that comes with a jog dial, so you’re no longer restricted to only getting the expensive one that has a 7-inch display.

For a thorough look at how Bespoke AI Laundry Combo can be different from your typical 2-in-1 washer dryer, be sure to check out or hands-on of its 2024 model here.

Bespoke AI AirDresser: steam, sanitise, slay

With its predecessor being a 2022 product, Samsung has finally gotten around to slapping on the Bespoke AI name onto this steaming, sanitising wardrobe, replete with new features.

The 2026 Bespoke AI AirDresser now has a new Auto Wrinkle Care function, using its Dual AirWash and Dual JetSteam system to smooth out fabric wrinkles before you hit the streets. By nature of its steaming, it also cuts down on odours (99%), bacteria (99.9%), and viruses (99.9%), per Samsung’s claim.

Since it’s now AI-powered, it can also monitor loads in small, medium, and large to prevent over-drying.

As an added bonus, the Bespoke AI AirDresser gets further compatiblity with the washer-dryer above: after going through the laundry, the Auto Cycle Link queues up the appropriate drying option via the Bespoke AI AirDresser.

Oh, and Samsung also added a 2.8-inch LCD panel, because why not?

Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner: every aircon hole is a goal

Do you remember Samsung’s unique-looking air conditioner with 23,000 holes? It looks like Bespoke AI is also here to replace its job, too.

This time around, the 2026 Bespoke AI WindFree Pro aircon combines its AI prowess with its multi-wind modes. Samsung also tripled the number of wind blades (now 3 pieces) to give us up to seven wind modes with one unit. 

Of note are Max Wind (which brings the cold air out 15% faster than usual), Surround Wind (which favours even airflow), Long Reach Wind (which favours distance, up to twice as far), and Down Wind, which forces away warm air downwards.

The AI component of these air conditioners detects user presence and directs airflow, improving comfort. The AI also monitors ambient temperature, humidity, and room size to select the optimal cooling mode, in addition to AI Energy Mode, to minimise compressor fluctuations and reduce energy consumption where possible.

Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra: now with Qualcomm inside

It’s not just smartphones that carry the Ultra designation. Samsung’s 2026 robot vacuum is the Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra. Not only does it suck your floor, but it also mops using its built-in steam function.

The most intriguing part of this updated robot vacuum is the use of a Qualcomm Dragonwing processor. Qualcomm offers Snapdragon for phones, while Dragonwing is for AI-enabled IoT products, such as this smart vacuum. Perhaps Samsung having to pay a premium for Qualcomm’s processing platform led to its Ultra name, much like how the Galaxy S25 Ultra also uses a high-end Qualcomm’s chipset.

The Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra has AI Object Recognition that can differentiate between humans, cats, dogs, as well as tricky obstacles like cables, and rugs. Also added is AI Liquid Recognition, where it can detect spills before it enacts the user’s preference to either clean it up or leave it alone.

Upgrades come in the form of Easy Pass Wheel technology, which makes the robot vacuum’s wheels lift its body higher or lower (2.4 inches), allowing it to climb tiny ledges. This seems especially useful for houses with the odd mortar base or kerb in wet areas, but they won’t be helping the robot climb stairs anytime soon.

The previous sucker was a tall, full-sized vacuum cleaner, making this Bespoke AI robot vacuum complementary to Samsung’s existing smart appliance lineup.

We will update this article once local availability and pricing are out.
