On the other hand, CordZero Canister model too uses the same Smart Invertor Motor to boost airflow feature dubbed as the 'Axial Turbo Cyclone' and delivers strong suction with its PowerPack 72V lithium-ion battery. It also houses LG's advanced RoboSense 2.0 technology to make vacuum automatically follow the user, so no tugging or pulling is ever required.
The CordZero Canister's collision detection system intelligently identifies obstacles and avoids them with its front-mounted sensor.
