AI Technology Delivers the Ultimate Washing Experience
The new washing machines are equipped with Samsung’s AI Wash, which intelligently senses the fabric type and weight to conveniently recommend the optimal settings for each load. Based on the detected laundry conditions, the cycle uses an AI algorithm to recommend suitable settings like the water level, agitation intensity, and washing and rinsing times. For delicate items, AI Wash will gently wash to reduce wear and tear, enabling up to 25% more fabric protection. For heavy duty fabrics, it will ensure an even, thorough wash without residue. Additionally, users can take advantage of AI Energy Mode through SmartThings Energy, which will allow them to reduce energy use by up to 20%.
AI VRT+™ technology ensures quieter operation while adjusting to various floor conditions. This advanced version of the VRT+™ system gathers a variety of signals sensed from the washer and sends it to an AI server, which analyzes the type of floor the washer is placed on.8 Using an AI algorithm, the server calculates the ideal settings and ensures the washer runs with less noise and vibration during the cycle, allowing users to have a more peaceful washing experience.
Efficient Performance with Ecobubble™
The new top loaders also feature Ecobubble™ technology, which provides more effective cleaning performance while reducing fabric damage. This technology incorporates two key components: BubbleStorm™, a fan-like device which effectively dissolves detergent into a foam for quicker penetration into fabrics, and Dual Storm™, a pulsator that thoroughly mixes the bubbles and clothes together. By combining these components, Ecobubble™ allows users to achieve a thorough wash using up to 25% less energy and 14% less water. It allows the detergent to blend into the fabric 2.5 times faster, and also delivers up to 20% better fabric care,12 reducing wear on clothes.
And for those who need to get their laundry done quickly, the Super Speed option can wash a load in just 31 minutes, delivering 40% faster washing while still maintaining effective cleaning performance.
Additional Features for Enhanced Performance

Samsung to Launch Bespoke AI Jet Ultra, World’s Strongest Cordless Vacuum
GURUGRAM, India – April 1st 2025: Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced the global rollout of the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra, the world’s most powerful cordless stick vacuum cleaner,1 which was unveiled at the Welcome to Bespoke AI global event held this month. Featuring the upgraded AI Cleaning Mode 2.0 and advanced HEPA filtration system, this latest innovation builds on Samsung’s leadership in smart home cleaning appliances.
“Samsung has proven its next level innovation in the cordless stick vacuum cleaner segment by launching the most powerful model in the world,” said Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Building on the previous achievement of the Bespoke Jet AI, which was the world’s first UL verified AI-powered cordless stick vacuum cleaner,2 we’re confident that this new model will be a true game changer in the global market.”
The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra boasts suction power of up to 400W3 to tackle even the toughest cleaning tasks. The HexaJet Motor is the key component that generates high suction power. Its unique Hexagon stator structure with a second-stage diffuser and an impeller with the reduced thickness improve airflow and increase motor efficiency, thus enabling up to 400W of suction power. Plus, the motor allows the vacuum cleaner to run for up to 100 minutes on one battery when using Min mode,4 so users can clean their whole house in one go.
Intelligent Cleaning Support Through AI Cleaning Mode 2.0
The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra also introduces the upgraded AI Cleaning Mode 2.0.5 By sensing the brush load and vacuuming air pressure, this mode can classify a total of six different cleaning environments6 using Samsung’s AI Optimum Tech and automatically adjust the cleaning performance. When using the Active Dual Brush, it can recognize whether a carpet is normal or long-pile. The vacuum cleaner senses corners7 with the Slim LED Brush+, as well. And by adjusting the suction power and brush speed8 for the different cleaning environments, it uses power more efficiently, reducing battery power use by 21% and increasing maneuverability by 8% with performance akin to Mid mode.9
Advanced HEPA Filtration System
Complementing this powerful and intelligent experience, Samsung has enhanced the filtration system to ensure dust particles are captured when air is expelled from the vacuum cleaner. The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra features a Multi-layered Filtration system that effectively traps fine dust.10 When air comes in, internal compartments like the cyclone and a metal mesh grille filter catch dust particles in succession. As a result, it achieves a filtration efficiency of 99.999%.11
Another distinctive benefit is that Samsung has implemented HEPA filtration into its Multi-layered Filtration system. With this system, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra captures dust particles as small as 0.3µm, allowing less dust12 to escape into the air.
Mumbai Real Estate Sees Record Stamp Duty, Premium Sales in FY25
Mumbai’s real estate market capped off FY 2024–25 on a robust note, clocking over 15,603 property registrations in March 2025, a 10.3% year-on-year (YoY) increase, according to data from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) accessed by Knight Frank India.
Stamp duty collections for the month touched ₹1,597 crore, the highest ever recorded in a single month, reflecting a 45% YoY surge. The record-breaking revenue was primarily driven by a notable rise in high-value property transactions and sustained demand for premium homes.
On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, March saw property registrations rise by 29%, while stamp duty collections jumped 71%, making it the most active month for Mumbai’s real estate market in the past year. Residential properties accounted for 80% of the total registrations in March, underscoring the strong sentiment among homebuyers.
The daily stamp duty collections grew from ₹35 crore in April 2024 to ₹52 crore in March 2025, while daily property registrations rose from 388 to 503 units during the same period, reinforcing the trend of increased traction in the mid-to-premium housing segments.
For the entire financial year FY 2024–25, Mumbai recorded 143,948 property registrations, marking a 9% YoY growth compared to 132,723 registrations in the previous fiscal. Stamp duty collections for the year increased by 22%, further validating the market’s shift towards higher-value transactions.
Here is what real estate industry leaders have to say:
Mr. Prashant Sharma, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra
“The consistent rise in Mumbai’s property registrations, surpassing the 15,000 mark in March 2025, is a strong testimony to the city’s enduring real estate appeal. The 10.3% YoY growth in registrations and a remarkable 45% surge in stamp duty collections reflect both the growing aspiration for homeownership and the significant momentum in premium housing. This performance, driven by stable economic conditions, robust infrastructure development, and growing confidence in the market, reaffirms that Mumbai continues to lead India’s real estate transformation. We expect this momentum to accelerate further with anticipated interest rate easing and continued government push for urban infrastructure.”Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers
“The impressive growth in property registrations and stamp duty collections in March 2025 clearly indicates a shift in buyer sentiment towards quality living and long-term investment. With a rise in transactions for high-value homes and an increasing preference for larger apartments, it’s evident that homebuyers are prioritizing comfort, lifestyle, and future-ready infrastructure. We have seen a similar uptick in demand across our premium developments, especially in well-connected suburban micro-markets. This data underlines the growing maturity of Mumbai’s real estate market.”Mr. Nishant Deshmukh, Founder and Managing Partner, Sugee Group
“The March 2025 property registration numbers is a reflection of Mumbai’s real estate strength and the increasing buyer confidence in long-term investments. A 22% YoY growth in stamp duty collection for the full financial year clearly shows an upswing in high-value transactions, and we’re witnessing this trend across premium micro-markets including Central Suburbs. The rise in demand for larger homes is particularly encouraging, as it reinforces the growing preference for spacious living in the city’s evolving urban fabric. Our projects have been strategically positioned to cater to this very need, and the market response has been very encouraging.”Mr. Samyak Jain, Director, Siddha Group
“Mumbai’s increased property registration numbers and rising demand for spacious apartments are indicative of a strong, evolving housing market. The surge highlights the aspirational shift of today’s homebuyer, who is now more inclined toward investing in premium, well-located properties. We have always believed in offering value with design, and the current trend validates the need for thoughtfully designed homes that align with changing lifestyle aspirations.”
