Samsung All-in-One Washer & Dryer Review: One Year Later

One Year Later Experience

The main reason to consider an all-in-one washer and dryer is convenience. You put a load in once, start the cycle, and come back when it is washed and dry. There is no wet laundry waiting to be transferred to a separate dryer.

After one year, that convenience is still the part of the Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo that matters most to us. It runs from a normal 120-volt outlet and uses a ventless drying system, which can make installation easier in the right home. It also means ownership feels different from using two conventional machines: a load stays in the same drum through the entire process, so you cannot start another wash while the first load is drying.

Real-World Test Results

For a repeatable real-world test, we ran a 10-pound load through a complete wash-and-dry cycle and measured the total time, electricity, and water used.

The complete load took 2 hours and 39 minutes, used 0.8 kWh of electricity, and used 14.14 gallons of water. Those are measured results from this specific load and setup; cycle choice, fabric type, load size, water temperature, and starting conditions can change the results.

What We Like

• One-step laundry: the same machine washes and dries without a manual transfer.
• Standard outlet: it operates from a normal 120-volt connection.
• Ventless installation: it does not require a traditional dryer exhaust vent.
• Low measured energy use: our 10-pound test used 0.8 kWh for the complete wash-and-dry cycle.
• Automatic detergent dispensing: the machine uses a small amount per load, so the detergent reservoir lasts a long time in our use.

What We Don't Like

• One load at a time: you cannot wash a second load while the first one is drying.
• Different timing: a full all-in-one cycle can take longer than using a separate high-output washer and dryer.
• Maintenance matters: filters and the areas that collect lint and moisture need regular attention.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the lint area, filters, and door seal is important, but the routine maintenance has been manageable in our experience.

Final Verdict

Yes, we would buy the Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo again. It makes the most sense for someone who values putting laundry in once and returning to a finished load, wants a ventless all-in-one washer dryer, or needs a machine that works from a normal 120-volt outlet.

It may not be the best fit for a household that regularly runs several loads back-to-back and wants to wash one load while another dries. But for our use, the everyday convenience outweighs that limitation. After one year, it has earned a positive real-world verdict—not because every part is perfect, but because the way it works fits how we actually do laundry.
