Tackle two chores at once with these wet and dry vacuums

LG’s wet and dry vacuum features an impressive brushless smart inverter motor. The inverter motor spins at a rapid speed, driving the fan to generate an internal cyclonic airflow that helps separate and filter dust particles, ensuring an effective and hygienic clean. And if saving time is always on your mind, you’ll be pleased to know that the LG A9 Kompressor can remove stubborn stains and dust in one, thanks to its spinning hot mop vacuum head. Vacuum and mop functions operate simultaneously.
