Showcased in the laundry and master closet; LG Styler provides unmatched flexibility for any home – no plumbing required – and its sleek design and finish choices (white or new, full-length mirror) transition easily into any décor or space.
- LG CordZero A9 Stick Vacuums (A907GMS): Powerful cordless suction delivers up to 80 minutes of uninterrupted performance with powerful suction and an intensive 5-Step Filtration System designed to catch 99.99 percent of dust and dirt.6
