Samsung launches Bespoke AI kitchen appliances
GlobalSpec News Desk | April 10, 2024Samsung Electronics America, Inc. has expanded its Bespoke kitchen appliance portfolio with its new 4-Door Flex refrigerator models and a redesigned line of premium slide-in ranges, including a Bespoke Slide-in Induction Range — the most advanced induction range that Samsung has ever introduced. These products build on new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology to make meal planning and cooking easier than ever.
Samsung has also expanded its Bespoke refrigerator lineup with its 4-Door Flex models — the Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+ and the Bespoke 4-Door Flex with Beverage Zone. Both feature Bespoke’s signature modern design, with flat panel doors, recessed handles and premium finishes.

The AI Family Hub+ has advanced AI Vision Inside technology that uses a built-in camera to identify food items and accurately keep track of what goes in and out of the fridge. It recognizes a variety of fresh food items and automatically generates a list of what food users have in stock in the SmartThings app, sending recommendations for recipes that use those ingredients. In addition to helping with meal planning, this feature lets users know what they need to buy when they’re shopping for groceries. The AI Family Hub+ also has a 32-inch LCD display and comes with an ecosystem of built-in apps that includes YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, Samsung Food, free Samsung TV and more, making it easy for users to watch their favorite shows, find and follow recipes and order pantry staples from Amazon Essentials — directly from the fridge screen.
Another new addition to Samsung’s Bespoke 4-Door Flex refrigerator lineup is the Bespoke 4-Door Flex with Beverage Zone, which offers consumers personalization, food storage and beverage features. The glass door of the Beverage Zone automatically lights up when someone gets close, allowing them to see what’s inside without opening the fridge. A Flexible Mode setting also lets users choose from two temperature options, so they can use the space as a refrigerator or as a wine and dessert fridge with a showcase window that adds an elevated ambiance to the kitchen.
Samsung has completely redesigned its entire lineup of Bespoke gas and electric ranges and added the Bespoke Slide-in Induction Range with 7-inch AI Home LCD Display to its portfolio. AI technology and SmartThings integration enable it to work seamlessly with users’ connected Samsung kitchen ecosystem.
The Induction Slide-in-Range features a knob-less, flat panel exterior and recessed oven door handle. Ambient Edge Lighting adds to the range’s premium aesthetic, providing mood lighting when it isn’t in use and offering helpful visual cues that let users know when their food is done or when it detects an issue, such as a slightly ajar oven door.
With the 4.3 kW induction cooktop, users can enjoy the precision and efficiency of induction cooking. Powerful heat and precise control ensure dishes are cooked quickly and evenly, and the heating elements provide a range of power levels, making it effortless to instantly go from low to high heat.
And with its AI Home Display and built-in Voice Control capabilities, Samsung’s new range offers cutting-edge cooking convenience. Users can view and adjust oven and cooktop settings with the intuitive touchscreen display and pull up recipes to easily follow directions while they cook. A built-in Smart Oven Camera and Wi-Fi connectivity also make it easy to record time-lapse video that can be shared on social media.
Rounding out its suite of new Bespoke appliances, Samsung also unveiled a new Bespoke Over-the-Range (OTR) Microwave with edge-to-edge glass controls. The microwave features Auto-Dimming Glass Touch Controls that illuminate with a simple touch and dim when the microwave isn’t in use. And with a roomy 2.1 cu. ft. capacity, the microwave can accommodate dishes of all sizes.
Plus, the microwave does more than heat food. Convenient Auto Connectivity and built-in Wi-Fi let users sync it up with compatible Samsung ranges or cooktops using the SmartThings app. This allows the microwave’s ventilation and lighting to automatically turn on and off in tandem with the burners on their cooktop, giving them one less thing to do in the kitchen. Users can also remotely adjust ventilation speed and cooking time with their smartphone and receive alerts when food is done.
