LG’s CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor and CordZero A9 stick vacuums, CordZero R9 robot vacuum and the All-in-One Tower are the first in the vacuum cleaner category to have earned the certification, which confirms a product’s effectiveness at reducing the risk of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
VOC emissions can cause a number of health complications and are particularly harmful to young children and the elderly.
Gold is the highest grade achievable in UL's certification program, confirming that a product generates low VOC emissions.
According to LG, both the CordZeroThinQ A9 Kompressor and the CordZero R9 robot vacuum are equipped with a state-of-the-art filtration system, which uses a metal dust filter, pre-filter and fine dust filter to separate and filter dust particles sucked into the vacuums to help prevent re-emission.
"As part of our goal to create a 'Better Life for All,' we are expanding our efforts to provide products that are better for consumers and the environment," said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG’s Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
