LG Electronics has launched the ‘LG CordZero M9 ThinQ,’ a robot vacuum dedicated to wet mopping.

Unlike conventional robot vacuums, the ‘LG CordZero M9 ThinQ’ has no drive wheels. Two mops rotate to clean the floor while simultaneously moving the unit. The substantial weight of the main body presses the mops down firmly, helping to wipe the floor clean.

The product is equipped with an ‘automatic water supply system’ that keeps the mops moist so they do not dry out during cleaning. This technology automatically supplies a consistent amount of water to the mops, and the water supply level can be adjusted across three stages. Using the LG ThinQ app, it can be adjusted up to five stages.

The new product uses AI deep-learning technology, pre-trained on 700,000 object images, to identify the home’s layout on its own. Its convenient MyZone feature distinguishes between spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and bedroom, allowing users to designate areas they do or do not want cleaned. A variety of sensors—including six laser sensors, bumper sensors, and cliff sensors—effectively detect and avoid obstacles.

By eliminating the wheels and applying a low-noise design to the drive unit that rotates the mops, the new product achieves a low noise level of approximately 44 decibels (dB) based on Sound Power Level.

Customers can connect the CordZero M9 ThinQ to LG ThinQ, a home appliance management application, to use its smart features. With the Home View feature, users can check on pets or the situation at home in real-time video via their phone even when away from home. The Home Guard feature automatically takes a photo and sends it to the customer’s smartphone when movement is detected in a designated area of the home while the customer is out.

The CordZero M9 ThinQ is launching in Iron Gray, priced at 699,000 won based on the factory price. LG Electronics plans to add new colors—such as Vintage Wine, Fantasy Silver, and Blossom Pink—in stages.

Ryu Jae-cheol, Executive Vice President and head of the Living Appliance Business Division at LG Electronics’ H&A Company, said, “This new product, with its differentiated cleaning performance and innovative convenience, will introduce a new cleaning culture and deliver a whole new level of value to our customers.” 1544-7777
