Companies love slapping “AI” on everything these days, but Samsung actually has the receipts this time. The company analyzed data from roughly 187,000 Samsung AI washing machine across 126 countries and found that AI Energy Mode cuts real-world energy use by around 30%. That’s not a lab estimate or marketing fluff. That’s verified savings from actual homes, backed by the Carbon Trust.
Samsung’s AI Energy Mode works through SmartThings, tweaking water temperature, cycle length, motor speed, and spin patterns so your washer only uses the power it needs. On newer Bespoke AI washers, the AI Wash+ feature goes further. It detects how heavy your load is, what fabrics you tossed in, and how dirty everything is, then adjusts detergent and wash intensity accordingly. You turn it on once in the SmartThings app or on the washer’s screen, pick your cycle, and let it do its thing.
Set it and forget it
The real benefit here is automatic savings without constantly picking eco modes that stretch wash times forever. Traditional eco cycles were slower and often less effective, so people just skipped them. Samsung’s SmartThings platform now uses load sensing and smarter controls to keep performance high while cutting waste. You don’t have to think about it every time you do laundry.
Lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint without changing your routine. Samsung is pushing these AI laundry products as part of its sustainable home thing and plans to expand similar power-saving features to dryers, fridges, and heat-pump systems. Samsung’s been putting AI in everything, but the Samsung AI washing machine delivers measurable, verified energy savings that show the tech can actually work instead of just sounding good in ads.
