LG Electronics launches '100-degree steam' robot vacuum

LG Electronics has introduced a groundbreaking robot vacuum cleaner, the 'LG HomeBot AI Object Collection,' featuring 100-degree Celsius steam for both floor cleaning and mop sanitization. This innovation marks the first time such a dual steam function has been integrated into a robot vacuum and its accompanying station.

The appliance utilizes steam to tackle stubborn dirt on floors and then employs the same high temperature to clean its mop pads within the docking station. LG Electronics states this steam cleaning process effectively eliminates 99.99% of four common harmful bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli.

Beyond its sanitizing capabilities, the HomeBot is designed for user convenience and hygiene. It includes a hot air drying function for the mop pads to prevent unpleasant odors after cleaning. The docking station is also equipped with an exhaust fan to expel internal moisture during the drying cycle, further maintaining cleanliness.

In terms of performance, the robot vacuum boasts a 30W suction power and mops that rotate 180 times per minute. A side cleaning brush is also incorporated to ensure effective cleaning, particularly around corners and edges, promising a thorough and hygienic cleaning experience.
