LG is joining the latest home cleaning trend by combining stick vacuums with robot vacuums.
Its new tower system can do it all thanks to the pairing of the CordZero A9X stick vacuum with the CordZero R5 robot vacuum. The all-in-one system will be on show at Berlin’s tech show – IFA – next month, and Image Matrix Tech will be there to show you first hand.
The All-in-One Tower Combi solution features the Dual Auto Empty function, which automatically empties the dustbins of both the stick and robot vacuums. When docked, both devices start charging to ensure they will be ready for the next clean.
“We have merged the cleaning and maintenance process into one to deliver the convenient and effortless user experience consumer’s desire,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
“We are fully committed to introducing a steady stream of innovative home appliances that exceed all expectations, with a strong focus on constantly redefining the seamless user experience.”
The CordZero A9X stick vacuum uses LG’s Smart Inverter Motor and KOMPRESSOR technology, which compresses dirt and debris to increase bin capacity which helps reduce the frequency of emptying the dustbin. The vacuum also features Spray Mop for efficient mopping on hard floors.
The CordZero R5 robot can vacuum and mop simultaneously. An automatic water supply system from the embedded water tank keeps the mop wet, eliminating the need for frequent trips to a water source. It also uses a 360 LiDAR sensor to navigate obstacles and furniture.
LiDAR is used to map out routes and a front camera that works in unison with several 3D sensors, which recognise up to 96 objects.
The robot vacuum effectively cleans dust with a powerful motor that delivers strong vacuum power of up to 10,000 pascals (Pa), while its rotating mop ensures thorough mopping by spinning at 180 revolutions per minute (RPM). The intelligent vacuum can detects carpets, increasing suction power and lifting its mop to clean more effectively over these rougher surfaces.
It should be noted that automatic water filling and emptying feature is only available with the addition and the installation of the automatic water supply kit, which is sold separately. The installation type can be changed to automatic water supply with the addition of the automatic water supply kit. The installation service may require additional fees or services depending on the region.
We’ll have more details once we get to IFA and check it out for ourselves.
