Save $1,515 on Samsung’s new Bespoke AI laundry combo: It’s an all-in-one washer-dryer
Samsung recently announced a major new addition to its lineup of Bespoke appliances — a state-of-the-art washer and dryer combo that’s so smart, it uses artificial intelligence to sense what you’re washing and adjust accordingly. Even better, you can control it all through your smartphone, via the SmartThings app. And because this is a washer-and-dryer combo, you no longer need to move your laundry from the washer to a dryer. Just load up the machine, press a few buttons and the combo unit washes and dries your clothes.
Right now, Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is available for $1,999, reduced from its list price of $3,339 for the Fourth of July.
Plus, Samsung is throwing in free delivery and installation, along with free haul away of your old appliance. Meanwhile, if you have an eligible smartphone to trade in, you could receive up to $527 in additional instant credit toward the purchase of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo. And if you’re a student, educator, active military, first responder, veteran, government employee or an employee of a participating company, you could save even more by taking advantage of the Samsung Offer Program.
Wash and dry your clothes with just one appliance
With the new Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you no longer need to move your laundry between a separate washer and dryer. Just load in your clothes, press a few buttons, and in as quick as 98 minutes (when you select super-speed mode), your laundry will be clean and dry.
Instead of taking up the space of two appliances, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo serves as a single, electric, 5.3 cu. ft. capacity washer and dryer that’s ventless, so it’s easy to install. It plugs into a standard 120-volt power outlet.
The AI Laundry Combo uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyze fabrics and soil levels and then adjusts its settings to deliver a better wash. You also get access to a 7-inch AI hub LCD touchscreen that gives you quick access to cycle and setting options. Or you can remotely control the AI Laundry Combo from your smartphone.
The artificial intelligence also automatically dispenses the ideal amount of detergent and fabric softener based on the load. The dispenser holds enough detergent for up to 47 loads. And when washing and drying is done, you get a smartphone alert and the the appliance’s door automatically opens.
This washer/dryer combo is Energy Star certified, so it uses less energy without compromising performance. During Samsung’s Fouth of July savings event, you can get the AI laundry combo for just $1,999 and save $1,515. Alternatively, you can finance the washer/dryer combo for $83.29 per month for 24 months.
This year, several major appliance brands have released their own version of a washer/dryer combo. Be sure to check out our review of the recently released LG WashCombo ($1,999), which has a 5 cu. ft. capacity and offers similar functionality to Samsung’s AI Laundry Combo.

Teacher, student killed in Wisconsin school shooting identified
A teacher and student killed in a shooting earlier this week at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, were identified Wednesday by authorities.
The Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office said in a news release provided to CBS News that 42-year-old Erin West and 14-year-old Rubi Vergara were fatally shot Monday morning at Abundant Life Christian School.
Preliminary examinations determined the two died of “homicidal firearm related trauma.” Both were pronounced dead at the scene, the medical examiner said.
An online obituary on a local funeral site stated Vergara was a freshman who leaves behind her parents, one brother, and a large extended family. It described her as “an avid reader” who “loved art, singing and playing keyboard in the family worship band.”
West’s exact position with the school was unclear.
The medical examiner also confirmed that a preliminary autopsy found that the suspected shooter, 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow — a student at the same school — was pronounced dead at a local hospital Monday of “firearm related trauma.” Madison Chief of Police Shon F. Barnes had previously told reporters that Rupnow was pronounced dead while being transported to a hospital.
Police had also previously stated that she was believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting at the private Christian K-12 school was reported just before 11 a.m. Monday. In addition to the two people killed and the shooter, six others were wounded.
Police said the shooting occurred in a classroom where a study hall was taking place involving students from several grades.
A handgun was recovered after the shooting, Barnes said, but it was unclear where the gun came from or how many shots were fired. A law enforcement source said the weapon used in the shooting appears to have been a 9 mm pistol.
