Samsung unveils water filter with voice control, instant ramen mode and support for water up to 90°C
The Samsung Bespoke AI Water Purifier Countertop is designed for kitchen counters and, at 17 centimeters wide, takes up relatively little space. Despite its compact housing, Samsung advertises a particularly effective four-stage filtration process that uses a UF filter to remove objects with a diameter as small as 0.08 micrometers from tap water.
According to Samsung, a total of 82 different contaminants can be filtered out. The stainless steel housing can be disassembled for cleaning, but the water filter is also designed to clean itself. The pipes are sterilized every three days via electrolysis, while the pipes are emptied every four hours when the water filter is not in use in order to curb bacterial growth. The corresponding smartphone app can indicate when the filter needs to be replaced.
The Samsung Bespoke AI Water Purifier Countertop not only purifies water, but can also portion and heats it. The dispensed water volume can be pre-set from 50 ml to 1 liter in 10 ml increments, while the temperature can be adjusted in 5-degree increments up to 90 degrees Celsius. This can be done not only using the buttons on the device but also via the integrated Bixby voice control. Another practical feature is that the water purifier supports 38 instant ramen recipes, allowing the correct amount of water for popular ramen types to be automatically selected via voice control.
Price and availability
The Samsung Bespoke AI Water Purifier Countertop is available in South Korea in beige, gray and black for 1.45 million won (approximately $1046). Samsung is yet to comment on a possible international launch.
