LG’s new cordless vacuum mops and empties itself via new charging base

A clean home is more important now than ever before, and LG has taken to CES 2021 to debut its brand-new self-emptying stick vac: The LG CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+. This is an upgraded model of the A9 Kompressor that features a charging stand that not only powers up the vacuum, but also empties out the dust bin. When the CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ is docked, the dust bin is automatically emptied into an attached bag. After it is emptied, the vacuum continues to charge.

Aside from the obvious benefits of self-emptying, the docking station also provides efficient storage space. The CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ includes six different accessories and attachments, all of which can be stored within the docking bay. The 2-in-1 Combination Tool, Crevice Tool, and Pet Nozzle fit within the docking bay itself for a more streamlined appearance. You can also adjust the docking bay’s settings directly through its touch display. It is narrow enough to fit in almost any space and can be tucked away when not in use, making it perfect for almost any size home.

In addition to vacuuming, the CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ can also mop. All you have to do is swap out the attachments. The Power Carpet Nozzle attachment provides high-powered suction to pull dirt and debris out of both carpet and hardwood, while the Power Mop attachment uses dual spinning microfiber pads to scrub and shine floors. The pads are removable and can be washed, and the integrated water taken automatically provides the necessary moisture to make your floors sparkle.

The CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ uses one-touch controls and includes two quick-change batteries that allow you to keep cleaning for hours without interruption. It’s part of LG’s CES 2021 lineup and is designed to make cordless cleaning quicker and more convenient. Thanks to multiple attachments and cleaning modes, you can clean all of the floors in your home.

The CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ is an ideal tool for straightening up after a food spill in the kitchen. Just vacuum up the food bits, swap attachments, and mop the floor clean. The CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor+ will make its global debut at LG’s booth at CES 2021, after which we expect pricing and availability information to be released.
