Samsung Electronics announced on Thursday that it will showcase a wide range of home appliances tailored for the North American market at KBIS 2026 (The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show 2026), taking place from February 17 to 19 in Orlando, Florida. The company aims to capture the U.S. market with its specialized appliances.

KBIS is North America’s largest kitchen and bath exhibition, featuring over 650 global companies. Samsung plans to strengthen its brand presence by displaying products specifically designed for the North American market, including advanced Bespoke AI Appliances and the luxury Dacor built-in appliance lineup.

Visitors can experience the Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator, a ten-time CES Innovation Award winner. This refrigerator features an upgraded AI Vision function that significantly enhances ingredient recognition. By integrating Google Gemini, the AI Vision system has expanded its recognition range beyond the previous 37 types of fresh foods and 50 types of processed and packaged foods.

Samsung will also showcase the Bespoke Slide-In Induction Range, a product tailored for North American kitchens. This appliance combines powerful cooking performance with the SmartThings Food service, which recommends recipes and automatically sets cooking parameters through a 7-inch screen.

The company will display various AI kitchen appliances, including the Over-The-Range (OTR) Microwave with humidity sensors for optimal cooking times, and the Bespoke Wall Oven with AI Pro Cooking feature, which recognizes food items and provides customized recipes.

The Bespoke AI Vented Combo washer-dryer, designed specifically for the U.S. market, will also be on display. This innovative appliance can complete a full wash-and-dry cycle in just 68 minutes, using a vented drying system to expel moisture.

Samsung’s luxury Dacor lineup will demonstrate how high-end appliances can seamlessly integrate with kitchen interiors. The exhibition will showcase Dacor’s ability to blur the lines between design and functionality.

Other highlights include a premium one-door column refrigerator/freezer with metal interior lining for hygienic food storage, a Combi Wall Oven for versatile cooking options, and an advanced dishwasher featuring StormWash+ technology and an Auto Release Door for efficient drying.

The company will also dedicate a special area to wine enthusiasts, featuring appliances such as wine cellars and dispensers.
