CordZero™ Kompressor Cordless Stick Vacuum - A916BM

I picked up a LG Cord Zero A916 that comes w/ 2 swappable batteries refirb from Walmart a week or so ago for $133 usd but looks like they sold out now. Can still get the A912 new if you don't mind rose color and only 1 battery for $200 usd at Walmart. Look around for the A916, would be excellent if on sale.

Any vacuum with a spinning brushroll will get some hairwrap so my best strategy is to get a vacuum that is easy to remove the brushroll and maintain. Wider diameter brushrolls get less tight hairwrap because the circumfrence is bigger. Only vacuums without a brushroll will avoid all hairwrap but then they don't clean carpets as well. One of the problems with most Sharks is there is no way to remove the main brushroll so debris gets stuck between the brushroll, stresses the motor, and wears out the motor faster. I'd choose a LG CordZero A913BM $279, 1 battery and a charging stand. Or the LG CordZero All-in-1 Tower A931KWM $492. Both LG's have easy to clean filters, and the cyclones and brushrolls are completely removable. If I wanted a cheaper option I'd choose the Dreame Z20 $199. Just be aware the cheaper you go the shorter the batteries usually last. Really cheap batteries wear out in around 1 year, but even expensive batteries only last 2-5 years.

There are vac/mops that vacuum while you mop like the Bissell Crosswave and Tineco iFloor combos. These mostly only mop and cannot dry vacuum floors, carpets, or do anything above the floor. Among the cordless vac/mops I only recommend machines with removable and replaceable batteries because the battery is such a common failure and wear item. The Hoover Onepwr Streamline and Ryobi Swift Clean are the only vac/mops that are decent and have removable batteries. The Dyson V9 with the Submarine mop attachment is a dry cordless stick vacuum good for all around vacuuming with a mop attachment. The mop attachment mops but doesn’t vacuum at the same time so you need to dry vacuum first and then mop. Vac/mops require a lot of cleanup after each use. Dyson’s submarine also is quite messy and requires a lot of cleanup after each use. Personally I would choose a decent cordless stick vacuum like a Dyson V8 or a LG CordZero and get a good manual mop like a O’Cedar Spin Mop or a good reusable spray mop. Both mop better than the Submarine and are less cleanup than a vacuum/mop. There are lots of choices. Hope that helps.

I have an LG CordZero and it’s been a pretty good cordless vacuum. Suction on low is useless, medium is ok, high is very high but you have to hold down the button for several seconds before high turns on. The LG CordZero Q3 is pretty reasonable at $299. The models that have the Kompressor lever help scrape dirt off the metal screen so you don’t have to stick your fingers into the bin. They all have an established wand too. If you buy the more expensive All-in-one models the vacuum will self empty into a bag.

I agree with flatdirection, KPA is a pretty useless number thrown around cordless vacuums. Pretty similar to HP on a shop vacuum, it makes it sound better without having to be better. For cordless vacuums it needs to have removable/replaceable batteries because they're the most likely problem area. And you want an easy to clean bin design and decent filter. Sometimes there's an LG CordZero or Samsung Jet under $200 so always look for those first. Otherwise check out the Dreame Z20 $169. It has a removable battery, multi-cyclonic, and easy to clean filters. Dreame has basic replacement parts available, battery, brushroll, and filters. Downside is customer service isn't great, but most cordless vacuum companies are giving their customer the run around. I also recommend checking out the Kenmore Intuition BU3040 (no lift-up) and BU4020 (with lift-up) both are $149. These are both small corded upright vacuums. If you want powerful suction these corded vacuums will blow away any cordless vacuum. They are as narrow as a cordless vacuum, they have swivel steering, and hepa bags that last around 2 months per bag. The 30 ft cords make them much easier to use than cheap corded vacuums that have really short cords. The BU3040 (no lift-up) is a little lighter. The BU4020 (with lift-up) is popular if you want to vacuum stairs or upholstery. Downsides are they are just average durability for the price. Corded vacuums over $200 that are bigger start to be more durable.

I got an LG with swappable batteries and it's great!

It's a LG CordZero and I got it from Costco. Let me see if I can find a link or model number... Edit: looks like Costco doesn't carry it anymore and it may be out of production but it's this model: https://www.lg.com/us/vacuum-cleaners/lg-a916bm-stick-vacuum It's not as powerful as my corded Dyson but it's great for getting under furniture and stuff. The 2nd battery lives in the charging stand and swaps easily.

We have had a xyz for seven years. Can still do the whole house (3brms) on a single charge. Came with two batteries whicu we alternate. Washable filters, it came with two which we wash and alternate. It's an LG Kompressor

Totally! We also moved away from Dyson as technology has really caught up, so when it's time to replace that one consider other brands. We got the LG Kompressor and it works very well.

We use the shark robot as maintainance cleaning, then have an LG kompressor for our primary cordless. It self empties, stores a lot of fur, and the battery is changeable so we can run it on high then swap to a fresh battery if it dies. It came with a mop scrub head which is a bit gimmicky but does work for spot scrubbing. It has a pet head for furniture too.
