Samsung Home Appliances: Leading Customer Satisfaction
Samsung achieved best-in-class rankings for refrigerators7 and washing machines, and leads in appliances with top scores for service experience, ease of arranging service, technician courtesy, helpfulness and timely repairs. These top rankings reflect the confidence consumers place in Samsung’s AI-enabled products to enhance and simplify their lives.
Our latest AI-powered Bespoke appliances were designed to deliver enhanced performance, helping you do more with less effort. The Bespoke Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+ with AI Vision Inside recognizes 33 different food items as they’re added or removed from the fridge, using an internal camera and ‘Vision AI’ technology.8 The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo All-in-One takes the guesswork out of cycle selection by intelligently adjusting washing and drying time and energy.9 The AI Home touchscreen LCD Display simplifies cycle and setting selection while managing other connected Samsung devices.

Empowering Customers with Seamless, Next-Generation Care
Samsung Care continuously invests in ways to give customers choices and easy options for high-quality, convenient care on their terms. Paving the way in next-generation care, Samsung has continued to invest in AI-powered tools to help Care experts resolve issues even faster. Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is one such tool, using AI12 to identify the customer’s intent, product, and issue, ensuring they are routed to the right agent with valuable insights before the call even begins. IVR can also text customers the two nearest Walk-In Service or Authorized Repair Centers based on their zip code and send a link to book an appointment, making the process even smoother.
With connected solutions for home appliances, Samsung makes proactive and preventative care simple and accessible. For example, consumers can use the Home Care service in the SmartThings app, which uses AI to automatically detect and troubleshoot issues. If an error code appears, customers receive an alert with step-by-step instructions for a quick home fix. If further assistance is needed, they can chat with a care professional, schedule a repair with a Samsung-certified technician, or even order replacement parts, like water filters, directly through the app.
Samsung provides 99.9%13 of the U.S. with convenient Care coverage for TVs and home appliances. Even in rural areas, people can access next-level care via Samsung Beyond Boundaries. Customers within a 4-hour radius of a Samsung Care Center can receive at-home repairs.
