40 years of Samsung: Revolution of smart home appliances for your home!

What is happening in the area of ​​smart home appliances? A look into the world of Samsung shows that the company is impressively looking back on the past and the future on the occasion of its 40th anniversary in the household appliance sector. The Korean manufacturer has not only revolutionized the market, but also simplified the everyday lives of millions of people. As [moebelmarkt.de](https://www.moebelmarkt.de/artikel/samsung-home-appliances- Feiert-40-jahre-smarte-hausger%C3%A4te) reports, Samsung began developing its portfolio over 40 years ago, and the first highlight was the talking refrigerator in 1985, which was equipped with speech synthesis technology.

But that's not all: the refrigerator could not only play predefined sentences, but also play recordings and pass on family memos to all members. This laid the foundation for the AI-powered voice interaction that we take for granted today. In 1982, Samsung introduced a microwave that served as a TV screen and to monitor cooking processes. A milestone that shows how early Samsung reacted to modern demands.

From science to application

Samsung's innovative strength is also evident in the development of the "Neuro-Fuzzy" washing machine in 1991, which was able to detect the degree of soiling and weight of the laundry and optimize the washing program accordingly. In 2006, a vacuum robot with AI came into play that calculated the best cleaning routes thanks to gyroscope sensors. These technological developments speak to Samsung's long-term strategy, as Jeong Seung Moon, EVP of the R&D team for digital appliances, points out.

At IFA 2025, the focus is on the motto “Future Living, Now”. Samsung News impressively shows how networked devices can improve everyday life. Visitors to the City Cube experience first-hand how AI-supported functions increase comfort and safety in the home. Smart home technology is becoming increasingly popular; 62% of Germans now use digital voice assistants occasionally.

Smart and self-determined

The future of living is smart and individual. With the new Bespoke AI series, Samsung is introducing devices that are able to recognize the stored food and suggest suitable recipes. This not only makes cooking easier, but also more creative. The Bespoke AI washing machine adjusts the detergent and washing time depending on the load, and the Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra can independently detect and clean up messes.

Also particularly interesting is the AI ​​Vision in the refrigerator, which creates needs-based shopping lists, and the Samsung Food+ app, which converts recipes and sends the preparation settings to the oven. These thoughtful solutions show how Samsung is making everyday life easier for many people while enabling energy savings of up to 70% thanks to AI Energy Mode in the SmartThings app.

Also noteworthy is the security aspect that the Samsung Knox platform offers for connected devices. Despite all the technology, the focus is on people. 37% of people over 65 want to lead a self-determined life through smart home technology. The Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM) service also ensures quick diagnoses and hassle-free customer service.

In a world in which smart technologies increasingly surround us, Samsung proves once again that they have a good hand when it comes to developing innovative solutions. The journey Samsung has taken over the past 40 years is a striking example of how smart devices can not only make our daily lives easier, but also enrich them.
