Samsung research brings out a special wardrobe that can clean clothes without resorting to a washing machine.
Presented last CES 2020 and similar to a tall, narrow refrigerator, Samsung's AirDresser uses a combination of air and steam to clean clothing and get rid of dirt, sweat and the smell of smoke.
AirDresser, washing slowly: this is how it works
That of new Samsung appliance it is a much quieter process than traditional laundry. The company proudly claims that you could have the AirDresser in the bedroom and not hear any noise.
In the washing machine wardrobe there are three special “air hooks” on which to hang clothes. The first function, JetAir, uses powerful jets of air to loosen and remove dust. JetSteam follows which, with its high temperature steam, kills bacteria, viruses and allergens.
The next stage of the process sees a deodorant filter, which breaks down the particles responsible for odors such as sweat, tobacco and food. The self-cleaning process ends dehumidifying and sanitizing the AirDresser itself, without the need for detergents and also dehumidifying the room.
It may make sense
It may seem excessive, but Samsung places a lot of emphasis on this technology. This closet cleaner, the Korean company says, is more efficient than traditional cleaning methods.
Running a washer and dryer for a couple of items is expensive, like dry cleaning which also uses harsh chemicals. Both are quite intense processes that can reduce the life of clothes (especially elegant ones) and completely damage delicate fabrics.
On the contrary, AirDresser can combine steam and air flows to wash and iron with care and delicacy. The sanitizing function can also be used on different items such as children's soft toys.
Samsung Airdresser: could AI have been missing?
I am not surprised by the presence of artificial intelligence, a true obsession (if not fashion) of the contemporary technological industry. The AI in this case promises to learn what clothes you have and suggests the best way to clean them.
The installation does not require a connection to the plumbing system: as with dryers, two removable trays house the water necessary for the processes and collect dirt.
