San Francisco, California – In our modern world full of notifications, there seems to be one activity where you can escape the constant buzzing of your phone or smartwatch – vacuuming. Samsung has introduced a solution to this dilemma with its latest cordless stick vacuum, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. Priced at $1,099, this vacuum comes equipped with an LCD display control panel that can notify you of incoming phone calls or text messages, in addition to displaying power level and battery life. With 400AW suction and a 100-minute battery life, this vacuum is definitely a game-changer.
But Samsung’s innovations don’t stop there. They have also integrated touchscreens into their washers and dryers, including the Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo washer/dryer which retails for $3,099. This 7-inch LCD screen allows you to answer calls directly from your appliance, making multitasking even easier. The Combo washer/dryer not only automates the detergent dispensing process but also opens its door when the cycle is complete, adding convenience to your laundry routine.
Samsung has been expanding the ability to answer calls from appliances across its Bespoke AI line, showcasing this feature on various devices at CES. From smart fridges to wall ovens, Samsung is integrating touchscreens with AI Home control panels that work seamlessly with both Android and iOS devices. To access these features, users need a Samsung account and the SmartThings app.
The AI Home screens on Samsung products provide a range of functionalities including music, weather, cooking apps, and smart home controls. The flagship Family Hub smart fridge offers multiple screen options, including a smaller screen for a more streamlined look. These screens can be used to look up recipes, control other appliances, and even interact with Samsung’s SmartThings smart home platform. This integration of technology aims to simplify daily tasks and enhance the efficiency of household chores.
While the idea of screens everywhere may seem excessive to some, Samsung is positioning itself as a leader in AI for the home. The convenience and connectivity that these screens offer can revolutionize the way we interact with our appliances, turning our homes into smart, intuitive spaces. However, concerns about obsolescence and potential advertisements on these screens linger, prompting discussions about the impact of integrating technology so deeply into our daily lives. Samsung’s innovative approach to smart home technology opens up new possibilities for consumers, but also raises questions about privacy, maintenance, and long-term usability.
