LG A9 Kompressor late 2020 – power Drive Mop Mini-review – 8/10 These are not washable, but it makes it easy to remove long hairs and detritus that you don’t normally see. Each has a lock slot at the end that removes the power drive from the shaft. The HEPA filter may need occasional replacement – it is an LG spare part for about $80. The entire filtration system – metal filter, pre-filter and fine dust HEPA filter are washable. And like all vacuums, it works best if you clean it regularly.
