All three LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ versions are fitted with Wi-Fi capabilities, putting full control in the user's hands via their smartphone. The flagship model in gold (CR5765GD) also delivers hands-free operation using voice command with the Google Assistant on Google Home. Furthermore, owing to an innovative design that absorbs vibrations and minimizes noise, the LG Hom-Bot is the quietest robot vacuum on the market on non-carpeted floors.
Fitted with two cameras that exactly map the floors to help guarantee that it does not miss a spot, the LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ offers a novel way to maintain a home in a clean and secure manner. With LG SmartThinQ® app on any Android or iOS smartphone, the LG Hom-Bot can be operated from anywhere to start one of up to seven cleaning modes as well as live-stream the home using its front facing camera. The front facing camera therefore serves as a security feature on its flagship model as users can use the live-stream to keep an eye on their home. Furthermore, LG HomeGuard™ motion detection technology offers consumers peace of mind, as the camera clicks five photos if it senses a movement.
LG understands people want not only a clean home, but also a safe home and LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ helps them have both. LG Hom-Bot is the perfect partner in keeping a tidy and secure home, offering the convenience and performance of thorough cleaning functionality, along with the added security benefit of keeping an eye on the home, kids and even pets.

The LG HomeView™ live-stream technology* allows users to view and vacuum their home from anywhere using their smartphone. As LG Hom-Bot steers through the home, it transmits real-time video via the app thus enabling users to see the areas that need a lot more cleaning– or monitor their kids and house while it cleans.
With LG HomeGuard™ motion detection technology, the vacuum automatically detects movement within view, captures images and transmits them straightaway to the user's smartphone via the app. Homeowners can be sure their home is safe while on vacation or ensure the kids are home from school, simply with the help of their vacuum. In case there is a security concern, users can use the emergency call option right from the LG SmartThinQ app.
Quiet, smarter cleaning
LG Hom-Bot's unique slim and square design offers a more effective and efficient clean as it is better equipped to reach corners and tight spaces. The square shape and longer side brushes easily clears off dust particles in the wall edges, corners and other small areas. From cereal to pet hair, LG Hom-Bot can handle any mess. Its ground-breaking design also assists in absorbing vibrations making the vacuum one of the quietest commercial vacuums at just 60 dB on non-carpeted floors.
The Dual Eye 2.0 mapping system uses LG Hom-Bot's front and top cameras to evaluate the room and area by scanning walls, ceilings and floors of all the rooms before cleaning to maximize effectiveness. This technology allows the vacuum to recall the arrangement of rooms, making it more efficient with every use.
With its collision-safe digital bumper, the LG Hom-Bot features a number of ultrasonic sensors that can identify obstacles and objects in its cleaning paths. While other conventional vacuums have to "bump to know," the LG Hom-Bot can easily identify objects it has to avoid. Users can also schedule LG Hom-Bot to clean at a specific time, giving them a pleasant chance to walk into a clean home.
The vacuum features up to seven custom cleaning modes that are uniquely matched to each function. The modes span from Zig-Zag for large areas to Smart Turbo, which cleans with turbo-charged performance. The LG Hom-Bot flawlessly moves from one surface to the next, automatically getting into Turbo once it identifies carpet for a deeper and more methodical clean. To gather up dust from tile, hardwood and stone, consumers have the option to use a slide-in dry mop cloth.
Clean you can count on
Supported by a 10 year warranty, the vacuum's Smart Inverter Motor™ allows highest suction, high efficiency and greater durability. While conventional motors use a carbon brush susceptible to wear and tear, the Smart Inverter Motor functions on frictionless magnetic power.
