Aimed primarily at the Millennial market, the Samsung Air Dresser stores, cleans and freshens clothes in a single location. Utilizing Samsung's Internet of Things (IoT) platform, the closet-shaped dresser lets users manage their inventory of clothes and also choose the best cleaning course for the items housed in it. The Samsung Air Dresser also utilizes several pieces of technology from other Samsung products, including the steam technology from the brand's washing machines, odor treatment from refrigerators and the filtration from air purifiers.
According to Samsung, the Air Dresser is capable of removing 99 percent of dust from garments in just 25 minutes, while the steam completes other aspects of cleaning both inside and outside of the clothing. The air purification system in the Air Dresser is also capable of removing harmful germs, including colon bacillus.
