The new range of Samsung Bespoke washing machines arrives

In the Bespoke family, after telephones, stick vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, and many other types of products, I ask for washing machines. The new range (of which the Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW is the best equipped representative) has just arrived in stores and, while there is no novelty as remarkable as the hatch on the AddDoor porthole, which dates back several years already, the embedded technologies are still numerous.

The Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW nevertheless benefits from a special washing program, designed to limit microplastic discharges into the oceans as much as possible. We did not have much more information on this subject (temperature used, spin speed, duration…) but this cycle is mainly intended for new clothes. All this is reminiscent of the Grundig GW7P79419W which uses a filter to avoid this type of pollution.

We also find the EcoBubble system already well amortized by the manufacturer. Remember that this injects air during the mixing of water and detergent to form a very fine foam, capable of penetrating deep into the fibers of the linen in order to dislodge dirt, even at low temperatures. . More generic, the Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW also accommodates an automatic detergent dosing system and connected functionalities thanks to the SmartThings application. As often, it is possible to set up a program from your smartphone, to download washing cycles for specific needs (stuffed animals, veils, sportswear, etc.), to be informed of the different stages of the cycle or to monitor water and energy consumption. By also pairing a compatible dryer with the SmartThings environment, the devices communicate to synchronize settings to deliver the best possible result.

Of course, connecting to a smartphone is not mandatory to program your washing machine. The control panel has undergone a slight facelift since WW90T634DHE and the color now invades the entire upper facade, including the detergent drawer, for an original aesthetic unit. The Korean is planning other shades than black and white and also presented on its stand at IFA 2022 a very attractive model with a blue stripe. However, if the aesthetic is original, the control panel is still based on the combination of a wheel and touch sensitive. Samsung has kept the display system which allows all the information to be shown in full, which considerably simplifies handling. We also appreciate that some keys have a Braille sign just below.

As evidenced by its “AI” epithet, the Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW is intended to be intelligent. It should theoretically learn from the habits of the user and adapt by immediately offering the programs most often chosen, already configured (water temperature, spin speed, etc.).

The Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW data sheet recommends a maximum load of 11 kg despite the standard dimensions of the washing machine. To accommodate this amount of textile, Samsung has chosen a 74 l drum called SpaceMax; to gain in volume, it is a little longer than the classic drums. It is a brushless motor which is responsible for driving the latter at the maximum speed of 1400 rpm. This type of motor is, we are promised, less energy-consuming, less noisy and less fragile than a conventional electric motor.

The Samsung Bespoke AI WW11BB744DGW washing machine is already available and you have to pay €949 to equip it. It should soon cross the doors of our laboratory to pass our test protocol.
