At this exhibition, Samsung Electronics plans to strengthen its brand status by displaying products tailored to the North American market, including its Bespoke AI home appliances equipped with more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and the luxury built-in appliance lineup from Dacor.


Representative among them, the Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator is a product that has won the CES Innovation Award 10 times through this year and supports the AI Vision function, which has significantly improved recognition performance. AI Vision uses an internal camera to recognize food ingredients. Previously, recognition was limited to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of processed and packaged food, but by combining it with Google Gemini, the range of recognizable items has been greatly expanded. Based on the recognized ingredient information, AI Food Manager records the inflow and outflow of food items and recommends recipes, providing a more advanced food and cooking experience.


Through the Bespoke AI Family Hub on display, visitors can experience not only recommendations of popular cooking videos, but also the Video to Recipe function, which converts video content into recipes, and the Voice ID function, which recognizes and distinguishes users' voices to provide personalized content for each individual.

Samsung will also exhibit the Bespoke Slide-in Induction Range, a product tailored to the North American market that combines a cooktop on top with an oven on the bottom. In addition to powerful cooking performance, this product supports the SmartThings Food service, which recommends recipes via a 7-inch screen and automatically applies the corresponding cooking settings to the appliance.


Other AI kitchen appliances on display will include: ▲ the Hood-integrated Microwave (OTR Microwave), which automatically sets the optimal cooking time using a humidity sensor ▲ the Bespoke Wall Oven, which supports the AI Pro cooking function that uses an internal camera to

recognize food and provide customized recipes.


The Bespoke AI Vented Combo washer-dryer, a product tailored to the U.S. market, will also be exhibited. This product uses a vented drying system that expels moisture to the outside, and can complete both washing and drying in just 68 minutes (Super Speed cycle, based on a 4.5kg load of fabric consisting of 50% cotton and 50% polyester).


Samsung Electronics will also showcase Dacor's luxury built-in appliance lineup, which harmonizes seamlessly with kitchen interiors. In particular, through an exhibition presentation that makes the kitchen appear hidden inside a closet, the company plans to highlight how Dacor appliances blur the boundaries between interior design and appliance design and achieve a smooth, integrated look.


Samsung Electronics will exhibit: ▲ single-door column-type refrigerators and freezers that use premium metal materials to cover the entire interior, keeping ingredients fresh and hygienic ▲ the Combi Wall Oven, which combines a microwave and an oven so that users can conveniently perform microwave cooking and oven cooking at the same time ▲ a dishwasher equipped with

the StormWash+ function, which thoroughly removes stubborn stains from dishes, and the Auto Release Door feature, which automatically opens the door after the wash cycle ends to dry dishes quickly and efficiently.


The Samsung Electronics exhibition area will also include a special zone dedicated to wine appliances, such as a Wine Cellar and a Wine Dispenser. Dacor's full-column wine cellar protects wine from heat, light, humidity, and vibration like a traditional wine-aging cellar, keeping it in optimal condition. Its three independent interior compartments

can each be set between 4 and 18 degrees Celsius, allowing wine to be stored at the ideal temperature according to its characteristics.


Dacor's Wine Dispenser uses argon gas technology to keep wine fresh for up to 60 days without any loss of flavor or aroma. It can hold up to four bottles of wine and features a Dual temperature zone that maintains two different temperatures simultaneously,

so that red and white wines can each be served at their optimal temperatures. In addition, an LCD touch screen allows users to easily

adjust the pour volume, from a sip to a half glass or a full glass.



Lee Sangjik, Vice President of the Digital Appliances (DA) Division at Samsung Electronics, said, "Samsung Electronics will aggressively target the U.S. market through its Bespoke AI home appliances, which feature functions and performance tailored to the U.S. market, and through its luxury built-in appliance lineup from Dacor."
