onsumers are increasingly turning to smart kitchen appliances for the convenience they bring to busy lives, whether it’s task automation, intuitive remote controls, or saving time, money and energy.
But as the market advances, there is less focus on standalone devices and more on AI-led ecosystems that connect all appliances within a space. Working this way, appliances learn user habits and adapt their performance in line with behaviour, creating a truly personalised home.
A network of possibility
Take Samsung’s latest appliances as an example. The individual products – fridges, washing machines, dryers, ovens and more – are packed with intuitive technologies that are impressive in their own right. But working together, they elevate the kitchen experience beyond what was thought possible only a few years ago.
Samsung’s new fridges monitor the items stored inside to offer recipe suggestions to users and also issue alerts when products are due to go out of date. Its washing machines come with Smart Control+, meaning you can switch on and control a wash cycle remotely. When it comes to its voice activated tumble dryers, the machine detects different types of fabrics to adjust performance based on the items loaded, while its ovens monitor usage patterns to create custom-made settings based on user preference.
Each appliance boasts powerful features. But underpinning them all is a connected network offering intelligent insights for ever-more efficient use. Samsung’s AI Energy Mode, for example, monitors energy expenditure across all connected appliances, providing personalised advice on cost savings and efficiency. The Smart Things app also advises on optimising appliance usage to prolong lifespan and minimise maintenance.
