The Jet Bot+ will bring about a smarter, more effortless, and efficient cleaning experience with the Clean Station offering an automated dust disposal solution, precise LiDAR sensor technology, and Wi-Fi Smart Control.

“Our new 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series and Jet Bot+ robot vacuum are packed with innovative and smart features that offer conveniences along with reliable performance,” said Jacqueline Toh, Head of Digital Appliances, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series

The Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series includes four models in Stainless Steel or Classic Matte Black.

Beverage Center2

The new Beverage Center can be found inside the upper-left door of the refrigerator. It consists of the In-Door Water Dispenser and an AutoFill Water Pitcher to provide users with two different ways to obtain hygienic, filtered cold water anytime.

Quick access to cold water is available via the In-door Water Dispenser, kept inside the refrigerator with lesser exposure to air to reduce contamination. It also features a stainless-steel nozzle that is detachable for easy washing.

The separate BPA3-free 1.4 l AutoFill Water Pitcher automatically fills up with purified water, and can be infused4 with your choice of fruits and herbs.

Dual Auto Ice Maker2

The Dual Auto Ice Maker makes regular cubed ice and Ice Bites in two separate ice makers to suit different preferences for cold beverages. Ice Bites are smaller and can chill drinks much faster. The Dual Auto Ice Maker makes up to 2.8 kg of ice a day and has a storage capacity of up to 3.1 kg5.

Superior cooling

Keep food fresher for longer and preserve its natural flavour and taste with enhanced cooling features. A Triple Cooling system independently supplies cool air to three compartments in the fridge and freezer using three dedicated coolers. The system controls the temperature and humidity in each compartment to create optimal storage conditions and prevents odours from mixing.

Precise Cooling also minimises any temperature fluctuation to just ±0.5 °C to preserve the quality and texture of fresh food and prevent the effects of freezer burn. Food is kept fresh, even if the fridge door is opened frequently.

And with Metal Cooling, the fridge’s metal plate in the rear wall helps maintain the optimal internal temperature and prevents the loss of cool air whenever the door is opened.

The new 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series represents Samsung’s continuous commitment to pioneering new innovations, including:

Flexible interior1

Interior customisation is available thanks to its flexible shelving and drawer configuration which helps keep different foods fresh by creating optimal conditions.

Samsung’s signature FlexZone, an independently controlled compartment that can effortlessly convert from a fridge to a freezer, provides users more customised food management options. With this feature, users can store a wide range of items based on five preset temperature modes: Freeze, Soft Freeze, Meat/Fish, Fruits/Veggies, and Beverage.

The 4-Door Flex is also equipped with a Crisper+ drawer which ensures fruits and vegetables retain moisture.

The fridge features Samsung’s signature flat door design and recessed handles that are treated with an antimicrobial coating that protects it from degradation by microorganisms6. The metallic finish is also fingerprint resistant.

Jet Bot+ with Clean Station

The Jet Bot+ with Clean Station brings a truly automated cleaning experience from start to finish. Clean Station serves both as a charging dock and an automated dust disposal solution. The Jet Bot will automatically do all the cleaning and subsequent return to its own Clean Station to empty all dust7 and dirt into a 2.5 l dust bag8 which lasts for up to 3 months9. Additionally, Clean Station is fitted with a Multi-layered Filtration System that traps 99.999% of fine dust10 so less dust escapes back into the air.

LiDAR sensor

The new Jet Bot comes equipped with a high-precision LiDAR sensor. It can accurately optimise its cleaning path by repeatedly scanning the room to gather distance information11. With precise mapping, the Jet Bot easily navigates underneath or around furniture, tight corners, and even lowly-lit spaces for an efficient and thorough clean12. It can also recognise individual rooms and automatically divide them into separate areas for cleaning.

The Jet Bot’s ability to recognise rooms and layouts allows users to choose and even remotely schedule it to clean selected rooms or areas to maximise efficiency and save time.

Users can also mark out no-go zones on a virtual map to stop the Jet Bot from entering specific rooms or areas. There is no need for physical barriers.

Upgraded Wi-Fi control13

With the SmartThings app14, users can stay in control and monitor their Jet Bot even when it is out of sight:

Live report

Users can easily check on their Jet Bot’s current location or cleaning progress in real-time, allowing them complete visibility and control to issue any new cleaning commands remotely.

Powerful cleaning

The Jet Bot comes well-equipped with tools that enable a fast and efficient cleaning process for all kinds of surfaces:

The Jet Bot is fitted with a High-Efficiency Brush that is made of soft woven textiles and anti-static threads that can reach deep into crevices to effectively remove fine dust and dirt on any types of floor including carpets and hard floors.

The built-in Self-Cleaning Grinder also helps to break down hairs and pet fur into smaller particles to prevent dreadful tangles around the brush.

Intelligent power

The Jet Bot is designed to be able to detect types of surfaces and amount of dust on them, to provide the optimum suction power to ensure a deeper clean when required.

Details:

The new Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series and Samsung Jet Bot are available on the Samsung Online Store and major consumer electronics and IT stores in May 2021 and June 2021 respectively. Samsung Jet Bot can be purchased with or without Clean Station.
