LG will be showcasing during CES 2020 its new cord-free cleaning products with new mopping capabilities.
LG CordZero ThinQ A9 with Power Drive Mop (in the photo) & LG CordZeroThinQ Robotic Mop will be showcased at CES 2020.
The LG CordZeroThinQ A9 Stick Vacuum offers vacuuming and mopping from a single stick-type device, while the new CordZeroThinQ Robotic Mop combines LG’s robotics and appliance knowhow in a compact package.
“With more consumers today opting for hard floors, it was apparent that vacuums alone wouldn’t satisfy everyone. By leveraging our technological expertise and in-depth understanding of consumers’ needs, we developed CordZero ThinQ products to handle the most challenging cleaning jobs,” said Dan Song, president of the LG Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
LG’s proprietary Power Drive MopTM technology drives both the CordZeroThinQ A9 and CordZeroThinQ Robotic Mop.
An automatic water supply system enables the two rapidly rotating mop pads to have just the right amount of water to clean without leaving a puddle behind.
To accommodate different types of flooring and cleaning power, users can choose to increase, decrease or completely shut off the flow of water.

The mid-range phones bring enhancements to OPPO’s Reno series phones in improved Wi-Fi connectivity, photography and video recording.
An interesting feature I tried is the real-time video bokeh where the background is blurred. It’s the video equivalent of the portrait mode in smartphone still photography.
The more affordable OPPO Reno2 Z (S$599) comes in Luminous Black and Sky White with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
