In this review, we will look at the best models of LG vacuum cleaners. Let's get acquainted with their characteristics, find out how much they cost, consider their positive and negative sides. We will select the optimal models in terms of price/quality ratio.
The high-tech products of the South Korean concern LG are known for their unusual technical solutions. LG vacuum cleaners can be divided into three groups: with a dust collector, cyclonic and with an aqua filter.
Units with a dust collector have a paper or fabric bag in which dust is collected. Paper bags are suitable for one-time use; fabric bags can be used many times, emptying them each time you throw away the contents. Devices with replaceable bags do not allow harmful dust fractions to pass through. Such devices are small in size, quite light and cheap. But their design does not allow microscopic dirt particles to be retained inside. Give preference to a dust collector with fine filters.
In cyclone vacuum cleaners, the flow of dirty air rotates in a spiral and solid particles are thrown towards the walls of the dust container. These models have a permanent container that needs to be emptied as it fills. Clean air is already coming out of the center of the plastic tank. The wheels are made of rubberized material, the vacuum cleaner can move on any surface without scratching the delicate surfaces of parquet or laminate.
In units with an aquafilter, the air flow passes through a container of water, where dirt is retained. An effective technique is considered ideal, but these vacuum cleaners are heavy and expensive.
The company is also famous for its innovative autonomous models that can clean without your participation. The sensor system forces the robot to avoid obstacles in its path. Special brushes will help you thoroughly clean the dust in the corners.
Wireless units in the form of a mop will quickly clean the room without the use of cords and extension cords. Capacious batteries ensure long operation. Replaceable batteries extend the autonomy of the equipment. A powerful motor with an inverter allows you to regulate the suction process. For an ordinary apartment, a unit with a power of 250 W is quite suitable. For a large, dusty room, it is better to choose models with a power of 300-360 W.

Tips for using household appliances
A vacuum cleaner, like any household appliance, requires careful handling. Of course, before using such a complex device, you need to carefully read the instructions. Unfortunately, this document is not always sufficiently informative, but there are general rules that must be followed.
The HEPA filter must be periodically removed and cleaned of dust. Approximately once a year this element should be replaced with a new one.
For example, you need to plug the vacuum cleaner only into an outlet that has the appropriate characteristics. You should not pull the wire; you must make sure that nothing pinches it and it does not break.
The suction hose is designed to withstand some loads, but still do not pull it too sharply so as not to break it. Particular care must be taken when handling this element if there is a knob and power control buttons. There are wires inside the hose that can break.
After the vacuum cleaner has been purchased and unpacked, it is better to read the instructions to take into account the operating features of this particular model.
Owners of sensitive flooring such as parquet and laminate should be especially attentive to the condition of the nozzles. Using them incorrectly may scratch the floor. Some buyers advise switching the turbo brush to carpet mode. The bristles extend out to protect the surface from scratches.

Criteria for selecting a suitable model
You cannot live without a vacuum cleaner in a modern apartment. Choosing a suitable unit is not difficult, since the models of such devices are very diverse. There are interesting vacuum cleaners that can clean the floor.
The advantage of a telescopic pipe is that you can change its size and adjust it to the height of the person doing the cleaning
They allow you to simultaneously collect garbage and perform wet cleaning. But such units have one significant drawback - after each use, such a device must be disassembled, washed and dried. To do this, you need to spend time and allocate space.
A transparent dust container allows you to control the level of accumulation and clean it in a timely manner. Some modern models have a corresponding indication
Similar problems arise with vacuum cleaners equipped with an aqua filter. That's why classic models designed for dry cleaning remain popular.
The easier it is to remove the dust container from the vacuum cleaner, the easier it is to maintain it after cleaning.
First, you should pay attention to two indicators: power consumption and suction power. Typically, the more electricity a vacuum cleaner consumes, the better it removes dust.
Almost all the latest models from LG have a waste compaction system; such a dust collector is easier to empty from dust and other contaminants
The next important point is the dust collection system and filters. In this regard, LG vacuum cleaners have a nice distinctive feature - a dust pressing system. It saves space and allows you to clean the container less often than in models without such a device.
Vertical parking is a very convenient feature; the pipe with the nozzle can be fixed instead of being placed on the floor if cleaning needs to be interrupted
Filters are necessary to prevent dust from re-entering the room that is being cleaned. The more of these filters, the better the protection, but the more often they need to be cleaned and replaced.
HEPA filters trap even very small particles. They are found on almost all modern models. This filter needs to be cleaned correctly so that it lasts long enough.
Power control buttons on the handle make cleaning easier, but the maneuverability of the suction hose with this design is slightly reduced
A variety of attachments is usually welcome, but not all of them can be useful, but you will have to find a place to store them. A universal turbo brush usually allows you to clean both smooth and fluffy surfaces.
If your home has carpets or similar fleecy surfaces, it is better to choose a vacuum cleaner that comes with a universal turbo brush or an appropriate attachment.
In a home without carpets, an attachment designed for smooth floors will suffice. When you have pets in the house, you will need a brush that collects hair well. The crevice nozzle will help you work in difficult areas.
Large wheels give the device stability and smooth operation, but it is better to check this point before purchasing a vacuum cleaner
The size of the vacuum cleaner matters because you will need space to store it. A long cable is suitable for spacious rooms, but for a one- or two-room apartment a standard five meters is sufficient.

Review of the LG CordZero A9+ cordless vacuum cleaner with wet cleaning function
A little over a year and a half ago, we reviewed the LG CordZero A9 cordless vacuum cleaner, which we remembered for its high suction power, good packaging, and convenient base for storage and charging. Over the past time, LG has updated the line of its battery-powered devices, and now we have a new product from this manufacturer - CordZero A9+. In the review we will reveal what changes are hidden by the modest plus sign in the model index.
The main difference between this model and the previous one is the possibility of not only dry, but also wet cleaning. During operation, we will check the effectiveness of this option, and at the same time understand how the characteristics of the new version have changed.

* To put it very simply: this is the period during which parts for repairing the device are supplied to official service centers. After this period, any repairs in official service centers (both warranty and paid) are unlikely to be possible.
Equipment
The black box with color printing contains a large number of photographs illustrating the device. The vacuum cleaner is packed tightly and thoughtfully: it has a lot of accessories and consumables, and they are all stored in folding cardboard containers. The packaging is organized so intricately that the manufacturer found it necessary to include short unpacking instructions under the lid.
Having opened the box, inside we found:
- motor unit with dust collector;
- vacuum cleaner base disassembled;
- telescopic extension tube;
- set of two batteries;
- power adapter;
- nozzle for wet cleaning;
- two sets of round cleaning nozzles for cleaning the floor;
- a nozzle for dry floor cleaning with a motor brush;
- mini turbo nozzle for animal hair;
- crevice nozzle;
- brush attachment “2 in 1”;
- spare fine filter;
- a cup with a spout for filling the washing nozzle;
- kit for wall mounting base;
- manual;
- warranty card;
- Quick start instructions.
At first sight
The LG CordZero A9+ motor unit is equipped with a pistol grip. On its inner part there is a protrusion, which, with the correct grip, falls between the index and middle fingers. This makes the vacuum cleaner easier to hold because the weight of the device is distributed more comfortably.
The waste container opens downwards. Its lid is secured with a simple latch on the front side of the garbage bin.
The cyclone filter unit is one-piece; it can be removed entirely from the waste bin. The lower part of the cyclone is equipped with a small “skirt” that traps large particles, and dust is filtered by a finely perforated metal mesh on the side of the cylinder.
At the top of the vacuum cleaner, under the screw-on lid, there is a replaceable, washable fine filter. From it, the air flow exits through the holes in the lid to the last filter with a circular non-removable HEPA element.
The vacuum cleaner battery is inserted into the socket under the handle and secured with a latch.
The LG CordZero A9+ traditionally includes two batteries. These are 25.55V lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 2 amp hours. Power supplies are equipped with two terminals and do not have additional contacts for status monitoring - only plus and minus.
The base body has a separate slot for a replaceable battery, allowing you to charge both power sources simultaneously - in the base and the vacuum cleaner.
The base of the vacuum cleaner consists of three parts: the body itself with a charger, a vertical stand and a base. It allows for traditional floor placement, but can also be hung on a wall or placed on a table or other horizontal surface.
The main body of the base provides storage space for two non-electrified attachments: a slot nozzle and a 2-in-1 brush attachment.
There is a groove inside the vertical stand for the power adapter wire. The electrical cord can be secured inside it with two clamps.
The base base reliably holds the entire structure in an upright position. The power adapter cord has sufficient length.
A holder for two spare cleaning nozzles can be attached to the vertical stand.
The design of the base allows you to place almost all the included accessories and attachments - the only thing missing is space to store the small motor brush.
The wall mounting kit includes three screws, two nylon anchors and two self-adhesive seals.
Of the wide range of accessories, our attention was primarily attracted to the device for wet cleaning. The Powerdrive Mop allows you to vacuum and mop your floors at the same time. It consists of two rotors driven by an electric motor. Round cleaning discs are attached to the rotors using Velcro. In the front part of the nozzle, in front of the discs, there is a hole for suctioning debris.
At the top of the nozzle there is a transparent water tank made of dark plastic. There are two rubber plugs at the ends of the tank: you can pour water into the container from either side, and if you open both plugs at the same time, it will be easier to completely drain the water and dry the nozzle before storing it for long-term storage.
In the rear part of the nozzle, facing the user, we see a water supply regulator. The central position turns off the electric pump, and the two extreme ones allow you to select the desired intensity of moistening of the washing nozzles.
Discs for wet cleaning have a pleasant working surface texture and are securely held on the rotors using Velcro on the inside.
The dry cleaning brush has a transparent top: this allows you to control the rotation of the working element.
The rotor of the electric brush is equipped with a spiral row of bristles of medium hardness and a contrasting black and scarlet color. For maintenance and cleaning, this roller can be removed by turning the round lock on the underside of the attachment: for this it is convenient to use a wide screwdriver or a small coin.
There are two rollers in the front of the nozzle, which ensure sliding on carpet or parquet, and the brush elements in the back and sides improve the tightness.
The small electric brush is similar in design to the large one and is intended for cleaning furniture and other objects from pet hair. Its working elements are scarlet rubber slats.
The extension tube of the LG CordZero A9+ is telescopic. It is made of aluminum and can be extended from 51 to 74 centimeters.
The length of the tube is fixed with a latch in one of four positions.
Instructions
The user manual for LG Cord Zero is a fairly thick book with a black glossy cover without images. What makes it more expressive is the part of the name Zero printed in red. All other font is white. The paper inside is matte, quite thick, the font is clear and easy to read. The instructions consist of sections in English, Russian and Kazakh languages. Each section has its own table of contents.
The document begins with a chapter on safety precautions. It is very extensive, and the rules in it are divided into several sections, in accordance with the stages of using the vacuum cleaner - general recommendations, battery, installation, operation, and so on.
The next chapter explains in detail, with clear and simple diagrams, what the user needs to know before turning on the device: the components it consists of, its technical characteristics, possible ways to install the charging station and store attachments. It also describes how to properly assemble the device.
In the “Operation” chapter you can read about what needs to be done when you turn it on for the first time, how to charge the battery, and how to adjust the suction power. It is separately listed in detail what types of attachments there are and how to use them correctly. Quite a lot of attention is paid to the washing function - proper installation, adjusting the water supply to the washing nozzle, drying the entire set after work.
“Maintenance” is a chapter about cleaning the nozzles, dust container and filters. Also in the operating manual there is a table of those malfunctions that the user can fix himself before contacting the service center.
The kit also includes a warranty card.
Control
On the handle of the vacuum cleaner, under the thumb, there are two touch buttons: turning on and switching power.
When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, it operates at minimum power. Pressing the “+” button increases the power to medium, and to turn on the turbo mode, the same button must be held for three seconds.
Exploitation
Before you start using it, you should choose how to position the base, assemble it in the desired configuration (floor-standing, tabletop or wall-mounted) and, if necessary, hang it on the wall using the included mounting kit.
Like all battery-powered devices, the vacuum cleaner should be fully charged before first use. While powering up, CordZero A9+ flashes the indicator on the handle of the device, and reports its readiness for work with a constantly lit signal.
You can charge the battery both in the vacuum cleaner body and in a special socket on the base. If you use two batteries, this can be done simultaneously, but the time to full charge varies: the battery housed in the case charges in approximately three hours, while the battery inside the base is supplied with less current, requiring about four and a half hours.
With the wet cleaning attachment installed, the device is turned on and begins to rotate the rotors without starting the vacuum cleaner engine. To turn on the combined mode, press the “+” button.
Before you start wet cleaning, replaceable cleaning attachments should be rinsed under the tap, thoroughly wetting them (this is stated in the instructions): it takes quite a lot of time and a fair amount of water from the reservoir to wet dry discs. Of course, before you start mopping the floor, you should also fill the water tank.
The discs of the washing nozzle, rotating towards each other, effectively wipe the floor without leaving noticeable streaks or drips. However, the water consumption, in our opinion, is not enough: even when the maximum level of humidification is turned on, in the case of heavy contamination, it may take quite a long time to thoroughly wet the dried debris.
There is a small gap between the nozzle discs, leaving a dry stripe when washing. This feature should be kept in mind. To avoid leaving unwashed areas on the floor, the device should be moved across the surface with some offset. It's funny that this defect is corrected in advertising images of the device.
Expectation and reality
The instructions do not recommend using the cleaning attachment on carpets, but we tried it just in case. We inform you: the instructions are correct - the pile of the washing discs instantly adheres to the coating, the disc stops, and the overload protection is activated.
However, we really liked the Powerdrive Mop. The ability to perform both dry and wet cleaning at the same time is a very valuable option. The brush copes with stubborn and dried-in dirt with some difficulty, but in this case it is enough to pause the movement for 10-20 seconds and allow the discs to spin in one place.
The electric brush for dry cleaning did not give us any special surprises. It cleans both hard and soft surfaces equally well, coping well with corners and spaces along baseboards. It is not often necessary to clean it from inevitably tangled hair and threads, and this procedure is not difficult.
The small electric brush also gave the impression of not being very innovative, but a well-made device. Using it to process upholstered furniture and mattresses is convenient and simple.
The garbage container body makes it easy to control the level of garbage.
You can empty the garbage disposal without getting your hands dirty; it’s a simple and quick task. A certain amount of fine dust remains inside the cyclone element and is compressed quite strongly - it is not always possible to remove it simply by pouring it out; you have to remove and clean the cyclone. It is convenient to use a crevice tool for this.
After several intensive cleanings, we noted some slight darkening of the pre-filter, but did not find any noticeable amounts of dust or larger debris on it.
We were unable to detect any traces of dust on the filter element of the exhaust filter.
The design of the vacuum cleaner's filtration system seemed to us to be of high quality and effective.
Care
Before any maintenance of the device, it must be turned off.
It is imperative to remove all foreign objects that could clog the nozzles, telescopic tube, or the inlet of the housing. This should be done immediately if the vacuum cleaner begins to knock or the suction power suddenly drops. We turned off the device, cleaned it, and continued vacuuming.
The dust container must be emptied after each cleaning and cleaned with a combination nozzle, using it instead of a brush. At the same intervals, you should remove the cyclone strainer, wash it with warm running water and dry it thoroughly before reinstalling it.
In order for the vacuum cleaner to work efficiently, the manufacturer recommends cleaning the remaining filters at least once a month. Particular attention should be paid to the pre-cleaning filter: it is a consumable item, and it is very important to replace it on time by contacting the LG customer center. While it does not need to be replaced, it can be shaken off dust using a combination nozzle or washed with running water.
Since the kit includes two of these filters, they can be alternated. But if you wash the inlet filter, you will have to wait at least a day until it dries completely. By the way, it is recommended to dry all washable parts out of the sun and in a well-ventilated area.
The attachments must be cleaned before each use (as stated in the instructions). In order to remove accumulated dust from them, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool that is turned on. You need to remove the brushes from the collapsible ones and vacuum them separately. It is also worth regularly freeing the guide wheels from adhering debris. After cleaning, wipe the nozzles with a damp cloth, if necessary.
After cleaning, remove the washing attachment, empty the reservoir by opening both caps to fill the water, and allow it to dry completely while open. The brushes from the attachment must be removed and washed by hand with a neutral detergent.
Make sure they are completely dry before storing them. The nozzle itself can be cleaned of any remaining dirt with a damp cloth and then wiped dry.
None of the electrified attachments, including the washing attachment, should be immersed in water or under running water, otherwise the motor may be damaged. The body of the device itself is also prohibited from being washed or immersed in water. It is not recommended to boil, bleach or dry the brushes of the washing nozzle in a drum dryer.
Our measurements
We present the mass measurements of the main components of the vacuum cleaner in the table:
Component name | Weight, g |
Main unit with battery and dust bag | 1545 |
Powerdrive Mop assembly (full tank) | 1460 |
Electric brush, large | 845 |
Electric brush, small | 750 |
Extension tube | 355 |
Crevice nozzle, large | 65 |
Crevice nozzle, small | 45 |
Assembled weight, maximum | 3360 |
Assembled weight, minimum | 1590 |
The tank capacity of the wet cleaning attachment is, according to our measurements, exactly 200 ml.
The noise level of the vacuum cleaner depends on the operating mode used and the attachments installed. We also entered this data into the table:
Operating mode | Noise, dB |
Maximum power, large electric brush | 84 |
Minimum power, large electric brush | 75 |
Maximum power, crevice nozzle | 78 |
Minimum power, crevice nozzle | 70 |
Wet cleaning without suction | 51 |
We determined suction power (what it is and how we measure it is described in a separate article) when operating a vacuum cleaner without a pipe and nozzles, in all three modes. The dependence of suction power on the created vacuum is shown in the graph below:
The maximum suction power we measured is 21 aW in economy mode, 90 aW in average mode, and in maximum mode the vacuum cleaner reaches an impressive 152 aW - this is a very high result. CordZero A9+ is practically no different, within the measurement error, from the previous model of the same series and demonstrates the same high results.
When the test bench valve of the device under test is completely closed, regardless of the power mode, overload protection is triggered, this can be seen in the graphs. After the protection is triggered, the vacuum cleaner automatically turns off. Pressing the start button again turns on the device, but the data obtained in this way is not indicative and is not included in the test results.
Practice tests
To evaluate the efficiency and battery life of the device, we tested its operation in real conditions, cleaning the apartment several times.
Maximum power
We connected a fully charged vacuum cleaner to a nozzle with an electric brush and turned it on in maximum power mode. Under these conditions, the LG CordZero A9+ worked continuously for 6 minutes. The high-power mode of this model is not designed for long-term cleaning, so we repeated the test using the medium mode (even in this mode the device is superior in power to most of its classmates).
The duration of continuous operation with the motor brush at second speed was 19 minutes. During this time, we quickly vacuumed a small three-room apartment.
Result: excellent.
Minimum power, long apartment cleaning
To evaluate the maximum battery life of the vacuum cleaner, we fully charged it again, replaced the motor brush with a 2-in-1 crevice tool, and turned it on at first speed. The design of the selected nozzle allows you to effectively remove most dirt from upholstered furniture and clothing. Although the power of the vacuum cleaner in economy mode was not always enough for comfortable work, we managed to cope with daily cleaning.
The duration of continuous operation in minimum mode without electric attachments was 47 minutes. Not bad for such power.
Result: excellent.
Combined mode, car interior cleaning
One of our mandatory tests of a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner is cleaning the inside of a car. Although the LG CordZero A9+ is more of a home device, we did not miss the opportunity to use it as a car device.
We spent about 25 minutes tidying up the interior and trunk of the station wagon, using a small motorized brush for fabric floor mats and both crevice tools for hard-to-reach areas.
Cleaning was carried out in a combined mode - at all three speeds, with periodic switching between them. Since it is difficult to formalize the conditions of this test, we did not measure the battery life of the vacuum cleaner, but the battery charge was sufficient for a complete and high-quality cleaning of the interior and trunk of a large station wagon.
Result: excellent.
Dry and wet cleaning mode
Of course, we did not miss the opportunity to test the battery life in wet cleaning mode while simultaneously operating the vacuum cleaner motor.
We filled the wet nozzle tank to the maximum and turned on the washing mode, adding a suction mode to it. In the washing vacuum cleaner mode, the LG CordZero A9+ worked for quite a decent time - 34 minutes. During this time, about 3/4 of the tank of water was consumed (just under 150 ml).
Result: excellent.
conclusions
LG CordZero A9+ is one of the leaders in power among the cordless vacuum cleaners we reviewed. What distinguishes it from the previous model is the presence of a nozzle for wet cleaning, which we liked for its efficiency and ease of use. Thanks to the moving discs, the device is able to cope with most contaminants and will make daily wet cleaning quick and uncomplicated. Two other motorized attachments help you effectively clean carpets and remove pet hair.
The additional battery included with the device will double the battery-powered cleaning time, and the thoughtful design of the storage and charging base will help you always keep the vacuum cleaner ready for use at hand.
Pros:
- high power
- possibility of wet cleaning
- good base design
- two batteries included
Minuses:
- high price

What should you consider when choosing the best model?
All lg vacuum cleaners with a compressor are of the cyclone type and have a dust pressing system. Their other characteristics vary significantly; when choosing, it is worth considering the following points:
The power consumption of the unit is usually indicated on the body of the unit. It is many times greater than the suction force and has nothing to do with it. You can find out how efficiently a vacuum cleaner will work only from the technical documentation
Suction and power. One of the main characteristics of the device. The suction power indicates how efficiently the unit will work. A value of 250 W is considered the norm, but if it is higher, it is better.
The series devices are available with power from 380 to 420 W. The difference is small, but it is still better for carpet owners and pet owners to choose a device with maximum suction power.
Sometimes confusion occurs when a potential buyer mistakes the suction power of the unit for the power it consumes, which is usually indicated on the body. This value is from 1500 W and above. Its value does not in any way affect the operating efficiency of the device; rather, it characterizes its efficiency.
Possibility of power regulation. The option may seem superfluous, but this is a mistaken opinion. It makes it possible to configure the unit to clean certain surfaces. For example, to clean smooth laminate or linoleum, high power is not needed, while when cleaning carpet you cannot do without it.
The correctly selected mode allows for gentle but effective cleaning of any surfaces, including tulle, curtains, etc.
It is very convenient if the vacuum cleaner power regulator is located on the handle of the device. Then, during work, you can easily switch cleaning modes, choosing the optimal one.
Another important point. It is optimal for the switch to be on the handle of the device. This way you can quickly and without unnecessary movements switch the device to optimal mode.
Considering that this will have to be done many times during one cleaning, this switch arrangement can be considered the best. After all, if the regulator is located on the body, you will have to bend over to it quite often.
Dust cup volume. For units with a system for compressing incoming dust, the volume of the container is not so important. Their design is such that the tanks hold more debris than their equivalent tanks without a compressor system.
Therefore, a volume of 1.2-1.5 liters, which is considered small for standard devices, in this case will last for a long time. They will collect as much dust as devices with 4-4.5 liter containers.
Features of the camera design. Cyclonic chambers can be very different and have additional systems that improve their performance. Vacuum cleaners of this type are equipped with two types of chambers.
Turbocyclone. The system helps maintain a constant high suction power that does not change as the container fills. Effectively separates the flow entering the filter into dust and purified air.
Scheme of operation of the Turbocyclone system. Its operation allows you to maintain stable high suction power and effectively clean dusty air flow
Ellipse Cyclone. Inside the container there is an element of a special shape. This significantly increases the centrifugal force that separates dust from the air flow. The system is capable of removing even microparticles of contaminants, including plant pollen.
Number and type of filters. Any vacuum cleaner can only work effectively with properly selected clean filters. You need to understand that there are models with elements that need to be washed with water, and there are devices with disposable filters.
It is clear that sooner or later you will have to change any of them, but those that can be washed will last an order of magnitude longer. Therefore, before purchasing, you should clarify which filters are included in the model you like.
It is important to find out their cost and availability. Unfortunately, it often happens that purchasing filters of the right type is very difficult or even impossible. It is optimal if the unit is equipped with universal elements that are suitable for several models. As a rule, they are easy to purchase and the cost is relatively low.
Device configuration. Each model is equipped differently. In any case, there is a brush that can be switched to carpet/floor modes. In the first case, the bristles are removed, in the second, on the contrary, they are pulled out.
In addition, there may be attachments for cleaning crevices, for upholstered furniture, for keyboards, for fabrics and curtains, for parquet, etc. If there are animals in the house, it is recommended to use a turbo brush for cleaning.
This is how a turbo brush works. As it moves, the roller with bristles inside the body rotates and wraps hair and fur around itself.
This is a special attachment with a roller with bristles rotating inside the body, onto which the wool is wound. It is optimal if it has a lid. Then the brush can be easily cleaned of the hair it collects. Another important point is the length of the cord.
If you don’t mind the need to plug the device into different sockets during operation, the cable can be any length. If this option does not suit you, you need to look for devices with the longest cord.

How does a compressor differ from a conventional unit?
If you compare a conventional cyclone vacuum cleaner and a device with a compressor system, you can immediately notice design differences. The container of the latter is additionally equipped with a blade, which is driven by a motor.
During operation of the device, dust enters the container, where it is compressed by a blade moving at a constant speed. The result is a fairly dense briquette.
The unit with a dust pressing system is equipped with a special blade, which is driven by a motor. It compacts the dust entering the container, pressing it into compact briquettes
It is very easy to remove from the container. Just open the lid and shake out the briquette. When emptying the flask of standard cyclone instruments, it is inevitable that you will come into contact with dust. Often it scatters when shaken out, the filter becomes clogged with wool and debris and you have to take it out.
With a compressor system such problems do not arise. In addition, its use makes it possible to increase the maximum capacity of the dust collector three times.
This means that the container of the unit with the dust pressing system will hold three times more than a glass of the same volume with a conventional vacuum cleaner. The manufacturer is confident in the quality of its design and gives a ten-year guarantee on all elements of the compressor system, promising its uninterrupted operation.

Basic recommendations for selection
- When purchasing a device, you should focus on the average suction power of the device, and not on the maximum power or power consumption;
- For cleaning stairs, upholstery and surfaces in hard-to-reach areas of the room, cylindrical type devices are better suited;
- For the fastest possible cleaning of large areas, wireless devices in a vertical design are better suited. They also do a good job of cleaning the floor from hair and animal fur;
- If you want to save time on maintaining daily cleanliness in your home, you should give preference to the LG robot. But do not forget that the product is not a panacea for general cleaning;
- In general, when purchasing any LG cleaning device, we recommend paying attention to models from the middle and premium price segments. The build quality and performance of budget models are, in most cases, far from ideal.
