LG - CordZero™ Q3 Cordless Stick Vacuum with Auto Multi-Surface Detect Dual Floor Max™ Lite Nozzle (C5323B0, C5323GW)

The LG CordZero and Samsung Jet are regarded as great alternatives to the Dyson V15. Many offer 2 batteries and a charging stand for less than the price of a V15. I believe there are a lot of features on the V15 that are showy but do not improve the performance like the particle sensor and laser. You could get a Dyson V11 for the similar cleaning performance as the V15 but without the more expensive screen. The Submarine mop attachment on the V15 is not comparable to regular vacuum/mops, the Submarine does not vacuum and mop at the same time and it doesn't suck up any liquid, it just rolls it up. What kind of flooring do you have? If you have mostly carpets I would recommend cordless versions of upright vacuums like the Hoover Onepwr Hepa+/Oreck Cordless and the Simplicity Freedom/Riccar Supralite Cordless. These are battery powered versions of upright vacuums that have much better carpet cleaning than regular cordless stick vacuums like the Dyson, LG, and Samsung. Also don't buy any Sharks, they're terrible, they break, and they're unrepairable.

For all hard floors you don't need a spinning brushroll and it actually makes the vacuum noisier. I'd avoid the Bissell and most bagless vacuums because they're very loud. I agree with u/totpot, bagged canister vacuums are the quietest. No brushroll, bagged and more sound insulation make they very quiet. Like a fan on medium-high speed quiet. The Miele C1 Pure Suction $319-350 are very good for hard floors, super quiet but powerful, and they have an automatic rewinding cord. The Soniclean Whisper Jet C2 $250 is also very quiet. Good canister vacuums easily last over 10 years. If you want a cordless stick vacuum look for a vacuum with a soft brushroll. The stiffer brushroll will make noise hitting a hard floor surface and it isn't needed for smooth surfaces. The Dyson V8 is above average for cordless vacuums. Look for a model with the fluffy motor head. Downsides are cordless vacuums have a very short run time on high power like 8-12 minutes, and I don't like that you have to hold the trigger on a Dyson. The LG CordZero is a good cordless vacuum and many models come with 2 batteries and a charging stand for the same price as a Dyson. But finding a model with the soft brushroll powerhead is limited. Most better cordless vacuums have digital motors and have a high pitch that's louder than a canister vacuum, but not as loud as a bagless upright vacuum. Cordless vacuums offer convenience but their batteries wear out in 2-5 years.

I recommend cordless vacuums that have removable & replaceable batteries, easy-to-clean bins, and replacement parts available. Dysons are definitely ok, but you pay extra for the name. The Dyson V8 and V12 Detect Slim are the best vacuums with a good weight balance. I really like the LG CordZero. It has removable batteries and many models come with 2 batteries and a charging stand. I'm not confident of the dual brushroll powerhead because most dual powerheads tend to make more problems. It is getting harder to find a model with the 2 separate powerheads but that's my preference. Some of the Dreame vacuums with auto-empty bins look to be good budget values. Parts availability isn't as good as Dyson or LG but they cost less and come with a lot of accessories. If you have most or all carpets, don't forget the Hoover Onepwr Hepa Cordless Bagged Upright $189. This is a battery powered Oreck Elevate and it's great for carpets.

It just depends on your preferences. The R10 Pro $149 comes with 2 powerheads, 2 combo tools, and the mini motorized brush. The R20 Pure $199 comes with a slightly larger battery, 1 powerhead, 2 combo tools, 1 elbow joint, and an lcd screen. The R20 $224 has everything the R20 Pure has plus the soft powerhead. Then the Dreame Z20 is $249. Once you get here an LG CordZero Q3 is $269.

I like the LG CordZero, it has removable and replaceable batteries, the cyclones are removable and easy to clean, and many models come with extra accessories and a charging stand. The LG CordZero Q3 C5323B0 $269 (LG's website), which comes with 1 battery, 2 tools, and a wall mount. The LG CordZero with Auto Empty Bin/Charger A931KWM $349 (lowes). The Dyson V8 Absolute $329 (dyson's website). The V8 is a good balance of weight and bin size. It has good suction. Downside is you cannot remove and wash the cyclones so they can build up dust and odors. It's an established model so there are a lot of aftermarket batteries available. A very affordable alternative is the Simplicity S60 Spiffy $129. This is a large stick vacuum with no brushroll so there's no hairwrap on this vacuum. It has a long 30 ft. cord and the suction power is strong, I use the low power for rugs, and high power for hard floors. The bin is bigger than a cordless vacuum's. Downside is it only has one crevice tool and it's not useful because the upper handle is not removable. What do you think?

I don't recommend the folding tubes, they add another hose that tends to split and you can always feel a little flex when you are using it. I find extendable/retractable tubes more useful. I have an LG CordZero you need to extend the wand for regular use because retracted it's too short for regular floor use. When I'm vacuuming my stairs I retract the wand to make it easier to get closer to the stairs. A fixed tube will be the most reliable because there are no additional moving parts. I would avoid any Shark vacuums because they are unreliable and unrepairable. Also avoid the 2nd vacuum because these cheap generic vacuums tend break within a year and are also unrepairable. What's your flooring and budget?

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.

LG CordZero, has swappable batteries, some models have a dedicated dustbin on the charger, and it has a variety of tools for hard and carpeted floors. I've been using mine for 4 years now. The trigger is a bit better designed than the Dyson V7 I had before.

I have the LG CordZero - HORRIBLE!!! Always gets clogged, never can use it for more than 10 minutes without dicking around with it. I'm buying a new vac which is how I found this thread. DO NOT BUY LG!!!!

I've got the LG CordZero and it works great for all kinds of stuff.

The LG Cord Zero are really good and come with a second battery that can be charged simulaneously with the one installed in the vacuum.

Got three dogs at home and as you can appreciate they leave a lot of dog hair on the carpets. The LG can get most of that up. Also can rinse the filters out under a tap and leave to dry, rather buying new ones when they clog.

This sub will mostly try to lean you away from what it considers a disposable vacuum and into a buy it for life vacuum. The difference generally being complexity in design, gimmicky features, no parts availability and no way to repair once broken. But based on your situation I think a “disposable” vacuum would be just fine. You can use it/beat it up for a few years, move it with you, and not spend a ton. Then down the line maybe consider a buy it for life brand. In that case I would recommend looking at Costco (either in store or online) and getting either the Hoover Onepwr or LG CordZero if you want a cordless vacuum, or a Shark Navigator or Shark Duoclean if you’re ok with a cord. Id personally stay away from Dyson as they tend to be the same disposable quality but with a buy it for life price tag. The exception is the Dyson Ball Animal 3 on sale at Costco right now for $280, but it’s very large which you stated not wanting.

I think the closest BIFL in the cordless market would probably be the LG CordZero. Aside from that you’re probably looking at a 5 years or less lifespan and maybe a battery replacement or two within that timeframe. If you really want a BIFL vacuum, you’d want to look into a bagged unit, and most of this sub will recommend either Miele or Sebo in that market. I personally own a Sebo E3 but also a Shark Apex. I expect the Sebo to last forever and have parts easily available when needed, but I’ve also owned the Shark for around 5 years now with no issues that I keep as a backup/beater vacuum for things I don’t want to use the Sebo for. But for $189 you honestly can’t beat a Shark Navigator from Costco. You can beat the hell out of it and not worry about tearing it up. And the Costco return policy/warranty will help bridge the gap of Sharks truly awful customer service.

Oof, classic Ryobi bait-and-switch. It is great for tools, terrible for vacs. If you’re looking for real performance under $500, start with LG CordZero, Tineco A11/A15 Hero, or a used Dyson V10/V11. If battery cross-compatibility isn’t a must, just get a vac that actually vacuums.

I commonly see the claim that cordless vacuum cleaners cannot clean carpet adequately. To be clear, aside from the claim being entirely too general, there is no study or test that has proven that they do not clean carpet or hard floors effectively. In fact, we have reason to believe the opposite through observable performance. I think it is about time we stop peddling false or misleading claims on here. It takes away from valid criticisms of modern cordless vacuum cleaners. With that said, there are cordless stick models that are up to the task in performance and some that are not. I would avoid cheap, no-name ones off Amazon, for example. Most of them have the power of a DustBuster and are of shameful quality. There are some brands that are worth a look, though. If you can find them for something in or near your price range, Dyson makes the V8, V10, V11, and V12 that would work for your situation and be relatively close to your price range. Costco sometimes has great deals on them. The older models like the V8 and V10 fall quite a bit below the newer ones and some other brands in suction and airflow, but should be fine with hard floors and area rugs. LG cordless vacuum cleaners are also solid next to the competition, with models such as the CordZero and CordZero Kompressor that are on [LG's website](https://www.lg.com/us/vacuum-cleaners). Samsung also has an intelligent design department and sells powerful models such as the Jet 75, Jet 85, and Jet 90. I am partial to the LG models since I have more experience with them and they seem to hold up to abuse fairly well, but Samsung sells a fine unit too.

LG CordZero. There are a few versions of it, but the one we have has been better (and cheaper) than our previous Dyson's.

Everyone here saying they love their LG CordZero but I can’t stand mine. But then again I haven’t had anything to compare to in the cordless stick vacuums area. My simple Shark corded vacuum I use on carpets is just so much better and easier to use. But it’s not as convenient as the cordless sticks. I was about to buy a Dyson V10 from Costco that’s on sale for $399. Maybe I’ll reconsider

It depends on your needs. I have the LG Cordzero and it’s fine for most cleans and pickups, but I have central vac for when I need a good deep clean. We have a mix of carpet and tile, and before this house had mostly vinyl and hard floors. I’ve just bought a carpet cleaning vacuum as well and amazed at how much dirt was being missed by both that just gets embedded. It really depends on your needs. Maybe just rent a beefier vacuum once a year if you want to get it very clean.

Not sure if this will help but I can say I bought the LG CordZero. This Reddit tends to lean anti-Dyson and what do I know. So I saw the LG recommended on this Reddit quite a few times…and long story short… it is awful. So I can only tell you what not to buy haha If you find something let me know, but I have many friends and family with a Dyson v11 or higher and they seem pretty darn good, will probably get one soon.

The only thing going for it is two batteries. They really hate being run at full speed and emptying is atrocious

I would spend an extra $100 to get the V10 or LG Cordzero from Costco because you can return it when it breaks and don't have to deal with Dyson's nonexistant support.

The Miele triflex isn't really good either though. They don't seem to hold up at all. Lots of complaints about them shitting the bed and being cost prohibitive to have repaired. Would 100% recommend an lg cord zero over them just because you can get those for almost half the price if you catch a good sale

The LG CordZero was the worst vacuum I have ever owned. I urge people to look at real customer reviews. Suction is terrible, turn the vacuum off and stuff just falls out, pushes things around vs. picking up. It’s gathering dust in my garage now because I couldn’t deal any longer. Went and looked at unfiltered real customers comments and saw many felt the same.
