Samsung continuously provides software updates for Wi-Fi-equipped home appliances, from washing machines to refrigerators. Similarly, it has recently released a new software update for Bespoke washing machines in South Korea and Europe, bringing an intriguing new feature.

What’s New in the Update?

The new feature is called ‘Microplastic Reduction Course’ and allows the machines to reduce cloth friction and microplastic generation by up to 60%. This course uses a special technology in washing machines called “EcoBubble” technology, which helps the machines reduce friction and microplastic generation.

How to install the new update?

According to the official blog of the company, only models produced after 2021 will have this update and feature. To install this feature, users must accept the push notification on the washing machine or SmartThings, which will automatically trigger the update.

By the end of this month, Samsung Electronics plans to introduce various features like the refrigerator’s “AI Saving Mode” and Stick Cleaner’s “Bespoke Jet AI,” which will allow you to call or receive text notifications while cleaning. The company also claims that since 2019, they have updated the functions of home appliances by 400 times.

Other than that, Miyoung Yoo (Vice President of Samsung Electronics) said, “We wanted to reduce the burden on the environment by allowing consumers who own existing products, not new products, to easily use the microplastic reduction course through software updates.”

This means we can expect more updates in the future.
