Samsung unleashed a flurry of announcements at CES 2024, including several upcoming smart home appliances powered by AI. The lineup features an induction cooktop, washer and dryer combo, slide-in range, and refrigerator, all of which use new A.I. features to streamline your daily chores.

The Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator was among the first reveals, debuting ahead of CES 2024. Featuring the premium AI Family Hub+ and AI Vision Inside, the futuristic fridge can scan and identify 33 different types of food items and send you alerts before they expire.

It’s also compatible with the updated Samsung Food app, allowing you to personalize its performance further and add recipes to your family hub based on dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and pescatarian.

Other notable reveals featuring AI integration include the Anyplace Induction Cooktop and Slide-in Range — both of which are equipped with a 7-inch LCD screen to assist with meal prep.

Moving away from the kitchen and into the laundry room, Samsung is introducing the Bespoke AI All-in-One Laundry Combo. With a capacity of 5.3 cubic feet and serving as both a washer and dryer, Samsung hopes it’ll save time by not requiring you to transfer loads between two separate units. There’s even a new Super Speed Cycle, designed to wash and dry a full load of laundry rapidly.

AI will determine exact washing and drying times based on each load as well as the optimal amount of detergent (thanks to several sensors that monitor turbidity, soil levels, fabric types, and load weight).

Along with the Bespoke AI All-in-One Laundry Combo, Samsung revealed the Bespoke AI Laundry Hub — a stacked, single-unit washer and dryer with a 5.3 cubic foot washer drum that features many of the same AI enhancements.

Pricing and release dates are yet to be announced. Samsung Bespoke appliances tend to be among the most expensive on the market, and that’s likely to continue in 2024.

Nanoleaf upgrades its music-syncing skills, launches new lighting products at CES 2024

The Nanoleaf Skylight lighting up a room various shades of purple.

Nanoleaf lit up the stage at CES 2024, pulling back the curtain on a variety of new lighting products arriving later this year. Along with the Essentials Matter Smart Multicolor Lightstrip, Outdoor String Lights, and Permanent Outdoor Lights, the company gave fans a closer look at the upcoming Skylight Modular Ceiling Light and the Orchestrator software -- with the latter bringing massive improvements to Nanoleaf's music syncing abilities.

Orchestrator is arguably the most exciting innovation of the bunch, as it connects directly to your computer's sound source to create a highly accurate lighting performance. This allows your Nanoleaf products to create a light show that's more robust than most other products on the market, which rely on sound alone.

The Anker Solix F3800 charging an EV.

Anker showed off several products at CES 2024, but few were as compelling as the Solix F3800 Portable Power Station. With a staggering 6,000W output (and the option to chain two together for 12,000W), it's shaping up to be a portable power station that can tackle every task around your home, garage, or campsite.

The Solix F3800 is designed as an all-encompassing solution for portable power. Its output allows it to power RVs, directly charge EVs, and run home appliances like your microwave and refrigerator. Along with its 6,000W output, it benefits from up to a 53.8kwh capacity; in other words, it should have more than enough juice to run your gadgets before it needs to recharge itself.

Samsung SmartThings learns a bunch of useful new tricks at CES 2024

Samsung SmartThings -- an application designed to connect and control your smart home devices -- doesn't quite get the same attention as platforms like Google Home or Apple HomeKit. However, it made some big announcements at CES 2024, and it's shaping up to be a big year for Samsung's first-party platform. Along with enhanced support for TVs and new uses for QR codes, SmartThings is rolling out a brilliant Map View feature, which creates a digital map of your home and shows you exactly where all your connected devices are located.

Here's how it works. Instead of scrolling through a list of all your devices or jumping between groups in your smartphone app, Map View lets you see a 3D representation of your home on your smartphone. Inside this map, you'll find icons for all your smart home gadgets corresponding to their actual physical location. That means you can quickly find exactly which device you want to control without needing to scroll through a long list.
