LG - CordZero Cordless Stick Vacuum with 80-Minute Run Time - Matte Red

We had a Dyson and loved it and saw the LG cordless and loved how lightweight it was and the reviews were great. I'm thrilled with this vacuum! My husband said it's the best vacuum we've ever had! The LG has two batteries, which is great, so you always have a charge; however, we've only needed power from the one battery. You can have it on the floor or hang it on the wall, which is what we did. It's so functional and love it for the car, sudden messes, etc. Great product and highly recommend.

If you don't want to read a long review, I'll just say this: The LG CordZero is easy to use, lightweight, versatile, and well-crafted vacuum that can serve as the main vacuum for a whole house. With two batteries and multiple attachments, the CordZero is ready for most anything you can throw at it. It's an excellent vacuum for daily chores, and compares favorably to both other top-of-the-line handheld vacs and traditional uprights and canister vacs. Now for the long-winded comparisons... Cordless handheld stick vacs have several advantages when compared to traditional vacs: 1. They are cordless, and can go anywhere 2. They can be hung on a wall or easily stowed upright when not in use 3. They are (usually) light and maneuverable, with nothing to drag behind while using them. Using a cordless stick vac also presents several challenges: 1. They (usually) can't hold very much dirt compared to traditional vacs 2. Their batteries run out in 10-20 minutes and require hours of charging 3. They can't produce as much suction as traditional vacs The LG CordZero exemplifies the benefits and mitigates the challenges of switching to a cordless handheld vacuum, and stacks up nicely against the industry-leading big names, at least for relatively small houses. 1. Its capacity is fine for a whole house once-over or a "big job" like cleaning up spilled cereal, etc. And honestly, it's easy enough to empty that you won't even notice that the capacity is smaller than a traditional vacuum. I don't empty my traditional vac every time I use it, but emptying it is also twice as hard. 2. It comes with TWO batteries, each of which lasts something like 30 minutes on low power, providing enough power for whatever life throws at it. And swapping batteries is easy and fast. One charges in a separate compartment of the docking station while the other runs the vac or charges attached. 3. Although it doesn't suck as hard as a traditional vac, it does provide power from the battery to the brush head to make up for it. The powered brush head does an excellent job of picking up debris on rugs and carpet and even getting deep-down dirt loosened up and cleaned up. 4. It *is* light and easily maneuverable. So easy a 10 year-old can do the job for the half-hour or so required. 5. Its charging station can be hung on a wall or set up for free-standing operation, can charge both batteries at once and has overcharge protection to keep the batteries topped up and nothing more. 6. It's easy enough to use that it will see much more daily use than the Dyson canister vac it's replaced. Dragging that thing out and around the house is a chore, while the CordZero does every bit as good a job and is so easy and available that my house will be vacuumed more often than before! As a current and former user of Dyson uprights, canister vacs and stick vacs, I can tell you I am in love with the LG CordZero vac. I'll relegate my old Dyson canister vac to the garage for cleaning out air purifier filters and the occasional car rug deep clean, and keep the CordZero in the house for everyday use. The only drawbacks I've experienced in a month of use is that emptying the canister requires you to reposition your hands and hold it differently than when you're using it, there's no place to hang the "Power Punch Nozzle" that comes with the grey version of this vac, and this vacuum is priced at the high end of the market. But the canister emptying really isn't much of a quibble, the Power Punch nozzle can come out of a drawer when necessary. If you can afford it, this vacuum compares favorably to the similarly-priced Dyson v11, with twice the battery and a floor stand included.

I am thoroughly impressed with the power of this stick vac being that it is light, small, and battery operated. Our home is roughly 1,800 sq ft and with the two supplied batteries, there is more than enough juice to get the entire house done easily. The top floor of our home is all hardwood and tile, the basement, all carpet. With the supplied attachments (and there are many) you can tackle any vacuuming job that may arise and not break your back doing it. Packaging was superb as seen in my photo. All parts were wrapped separately and in perfect condition upon arrival. Assembly was also very straight-forward. All parts go together in an easy to understand system. Once you change rollers/attachments a few times you will have it down with no problems. The design of this product is not only cool looking, but also makes it super easy to operate. One thing that stumped me at first was that I thought the vacuum’s reach was a little short until I realized that the main tube in-between the head and roller also unlocks and extends. Another tip is to lay all parts on the floor when changing, as opposed to propping them against your leg, or a wall. For example, if you are vacuuming the floor and then want to eject the main tube and floor roller to replace with only the head and crevice tool, the main tube and floor roller (especially on hard floors) will most likely fall if propped up. Be careful with that! This vacuum is light and also stows in a really nice and tidy fashion. You can either mount it to a wall, or use the weighted base. Both options are included and will hold the main head unit (while it charges), the middle extension wand, one floor roller, and both small crevice tools. This means that the other roller and power punch tool (more on that later) will unfortunately just have to hang out somewhere nearby. Even though this vacuum is light, it still feels very well made and all parts click and attach with authority. Quiet! This is much quieter than your typical plug-in vacuum. Even on turbo mode, I find that the volume is very acceptable. Turbo mode is started with the press of a button and gives you some extra oomph when you need it. Alternately, you can press the “minus” button located next to the turbo mode button to slow down the power a little. This actually works quite well for things like dried food spills, or cat litter. The larger plug-in vacuums seem to just throw those types of messes everywhere. Maintenance is really easy with this vacuum as well. The debris container ejects and empties easily. If you find that the filters are extremely dirty, you can simply take them out and wash them to keep the unit in tip top running order. I would recommend setting a personal reminder to check and clean the filters once a month. All filters can be removed with minimal effort. Again, the excellent design plays a part in the ease of maintenance. The kit includes a hard floor roller, a carpet roller, and a really cool nozzle called a “power punch nozzle.” The punch nozzle actually vibrates dust and debris to pull it free. This works great on furniture and gives it an extra deep clean. One really big thing worth mentioning is that you can use the head and a roller together (without the middle tube) to easily clean carpeted stairs. This is a huge bonus for us since our stairs are carpet. Gone are the days of using heavy cumbersome vacuums that have to be propped up somehow while vacuuming stairs. Just awesome! Finally, cleaning power. At first I was worried that it wouldn’t clean carpeting very well because it was so light, but that notion was put to rest when I viewed the debris container. We have been using a bigger Shark plug-in vacuum on the basement carpets regularly so when I saw the debris container filling up, I knew all was well. All in all my family really enjoys using the LG CordZero system. We like it so much that we have since put the Sharks back in the ocean… errr... out in the garage. PROS: Excellent cleaning power, plus turbo mode Plenty of rollers, heads, and crevice tools for all types of areas All parts assemble and disassemble very easily All filters are washable Includes two batteries and one extra washable dust filter Head unit displays battery power with three bars Excellent battery life Lightweight Quiet CONS: No place to store two out of the three floor attachments on the stand Main wand and floor attachment (if left together) will easily tip over on hard floors

The LG CordZero Vacuum is a great addition to my cleaning arsenal. I have a robo-vac that will do scheduled cleaning weekly, but I’ve been wanting to get an actual vac that I can use on stairs and in tight spots that the robo vac doesn’t always get, and my roomies clunky traditional vac doesn’t travel well. When it arrived two days before Christmas, I actually got excited, so I opened it up. Assembly was a breeze, you have the motor unit, the extension wand, and the powered brush unit, two attachments, a charge base with stand that you can customize to mount on a wall or use as a stand-alone charging base for both the vac and spare battery. My configuration is the stand alone base. I wasn’t aware that it came with two batteries, which is smart. Luckily one battery covers the house, and I haven’t had to swap during my cleaning spree. What I absolutely LOVE about this vac, is that it is SO lightweight, and easy to use on stairs, seeing how I live in a townhouse, and there’s three flights of stairs, carrying it around isn’t a problem at all. It works very well, and hits all the major spots in the house that need swept. The cannister is easy to remove, and filters are easy to clean and replace (it comes with a spare filter as well) The canister isn’t large, but I haven’t filled it to the brim yet, and do empty it after each use. It works very well on hard wood floors, and you can control the suction power, which is nice. The default is a lower setting, and I usually turn it up a notch, occasionally using the turbo setting (holding down the plus button for a few seconds). My only real complaint is that the powered brush unit is a little odd to work with on carpet, as I get a lot of resistance from it at first, until I find the right rhythm. But it cleans both surfaces well enough. I eventually want to get around to using it in my car (yes. It is THAT portable). My roommates are impressed with it, and while I would have liked the grey color, matte red looks good in the house!

Before this vacuum, I was a die hard Shark fan. Their vacuums perform so well on hard floors which is what we have mostly. Unfortunately I had a little bit of an accident with my Shark vacuum that involved me tripping in the bathroom with the vacuum wand in my hand and it going right into the toilet. Though I was able to dry out the vacuum and clean it up, it was no longer performing as it used to. Time for another one. I was skeptical that the LG was going to do the trick, but the thing that attracted me to it was the hard floor vacuum head. It was almost identical to my Shark vacuum but larger and seemingly easier to clean. I decided to try it out and to my surprise, it did really well. Here are the pros and cons: PROS -Plush hard floor head that dusts as well as vacuums -Carpet and rug head agitates the carpets really well for as lightweight as this vacuum is. -Lightweight -2 batteries are included, though I have never had to switch them out yet. -Good running time. I have a 1200 square foot condo and I have no issues cleaning with one battery charge. -Compact charging station with options to hang it up or let it free-stand. -Much quieter than most vacuums -Easy to empty and clean the vacuum itself. CONS -You have to switch out the heads when you are switching from hard floors to carpets. My old vacuum just required a button switch. -It failed the "Cheerio" test. It would not pick up anything Cheerio size or larger. Because of this, I put this vacuum more in the "maintenance" category. It's not for heavy duty cleaning. More like in between cleanings. -The assembly you have to do beforehand is a little intimidating. See pictures. -The dust canister is pretty small. Another reason that this fits into the "maintenance" category. -Does not stand up on it's own. Not a deal breaker but it's a little annoying to have to lean it up against the wall or set it on the floor when you need to drop it for a minute. -It's pretty pricey for what you are getting. I like the vacuum but I'm just not convinced it's worth the money especially with other brands out there that can do the same thing for a lower price.

I got this LG vacuum Christmas Eve and I have been using it in a non-stop cleaning frenzy ever since. I have been putting it through its paces and It is INCREDIBLE!!! The performance, the functionality and ease of use and how easy it is to store! The culmination of my cleaning frenzy was today with the final touch of putting away all my Christmas decorations in my house which left dust bunnies, synthetic pine needles, fake snow and glitter everywhere on my sofas and hard wood floors! It sucked it up like a boss and made clean up a 100 times easier than in the past (and fun). First the performance: I expected a lot due to the price point and it did not disappoint! I used it on all my wood and tile floors and it created a tight seal to the floor and gobbled dust, crumbs and dog hair with ease. I was also surprised how quiet it was for the power it produced. It’s not silent by any means but the level is minimal for the power and not annoying. It did not even scare my skittish dog! I really liked that it has three lengths that you can raise or lower the length of the vacuum for comfort, I am 6’1” and the longest setting is perfect for me. My wife is 5’2” and used the shortest length. It’s also so lightweight! My wife thought it was a little heavier than she expected but that was because I let her use it when it was fully extended for my height. After I shortened the vacuum length she said that was better and what she expected. I am super excited that I will never have to use a broom again in my house. This LG Stick has made my broom obsolete!! After getting my floors done, I stored the vacuum shaft and turned it into a handheld vacuum! I moved on to the furniture. My unit came with a "power punch" nozzle that worked great on my sofas and door matts. After cleaning floors and furniture. I scanned around for other things to clean and then it dawned on my how easy and great this vacuum would do in my car! I was amazed how easy and functional attaching the shaft and the different vacuuming accessories was. I changed out the hard floor head for the small "2 in 1 bristle brush" and "crevice tool". Again the design of this unit is so functional and just easy to use that I didn’t get upset or frustrated when I needed to switch out the "bristle brush" for the "power punch" head ect and back and forth. It’s just click and pull and seat and you're done! Well done LG!!! NOTE: The 2 in 1 bristle brush is a two part tool. One part is a hard edge where the bristles are retracted to allow the hard plastic edge to do it's job. If you want the soft bristle parts to dust your car's dash board you need to click the button to extend the bristles away from the hard crevice edge. Examine it and you will see what I mean. So back to the car, hand held, no power-cord, light weight, not annoyingly loud and the incredible power allowed me to vacuum the floors the seats, the trunk! I actually giggled with just how easy and small and easy to hold and clean and how well it got my car clean! I then did my wife’s car. Just amazing! After the cars were done, I scanned again and saw just how much dust was on my wooden blinds. Boom hit the blinds. It did a great job but my blinds were pretty caked with years of dust and will need more than just a cursory pass although it was much better than before I vacuumed. I went on to do air-duct returns, vents and ceiling fan blades and just could not be happier with this vacuum! I love being able to remove the vacuum shaft and use it as a handheld duster with the bristle tool. I dusted my model cars and the top of a book shelf as well (see picture). Amazing. The storage system LG worked out to store this unit is brilliant as well. You can wall mount it which I chose not to do because I liked the stand so much or put all the heads into a compact sturdy beautiful stand. It has a place for all the heads with the exception of the power punch nozzle. Bummer, but there is really no room on the stand itself so I’ll just keep it next to my carpet vacuum. There is an optional sleeve that goes on the stand which allows you to keep the “carpet head” stored on when you are using the hard floor head. Note: This is a stick vacuum and not designed to do medium to high pile carpet. I tried it out on a medium pile (.5”) and it vacuumed debris just fine but the bagless debris holder and head footprint is not very big on a stick vacuum. For large carpeted rooms a person still needs a full size vacuum designed to do those types of rooms. Again, a spot clean up on such carpeted areas with this vacuum is ok but this stick vacuum or any stick vacuum is not designed for that. Just fyi. Emptying the vacuum is a breeze as well and I really like that it has a turbo feature when needed. It comes with two batteries which is awesome. One battery charges in the stand and the other charges when you return the vacuum to the stand. As far as battery life, I depleted the charge on one battery the first day when I was running around like a mad person vacuuming everything I could think of. I just went to the stand and swapped batteries and was back in business. Since the first day, all my normal day to day cleaning and dusting did not deplete the battery. In conclusion, I really Love this vacuum!!! It’s so versatile and fun to use and does such a great job. The quality of the design and the sturdiness of the unit itself is quality through and through. I have an LG washer and dryer which I love, an LG sound bar which I love and now I’m going to add this incredible vacuum to the list of LG love. LG is really bringing their “A” game. I love quality regardless of brand and don’t rely solely on a brand name but how you build a world class brand name is delivering the goods like this! Bravo. Also when you get your vacuum be sure to watch the LG set up video first and then read the instructions. It’s much easier to follow and set up after doing that.

We saw that LG was coming out with a stick type vac and wanted to give it a try. We have had multiple stick type vacs the last few years, this new one from LG is pretty pricey and up there with the Dyson vacs so we were interested to see if this one is as good. Unboxing and setting up: The vacuum is very well packed, with all individual components wrapped and protected. There are quite a few parts in the box and it took a bit to get everything ready to assemble. The first thing we did was assemble the stand, the base simply clicks into the upright, and then the top piece snaps into the other end. The power adapter plugs into the back of the stand and the power hooks into two clips on the back of the stand. It’s a pretty nice setup and I wish the other ones we have had a stand like this. There’s space in the stand for the second battery, and it will charge while in the stand, there’s a blinking LED on the front indicating its charging. No assembling the vacuum itself is pretty easy; just inset the main unit into the extension and then then the motorized head into the other end. Then take the battery and insert it into the bottom of the main unit. It’s very simple to insert and remove the battery, and impossible to put it in the wrong direction. We have a Shark that has a removable battery and I’m constantly inserting it the wrong direction as there’s really no marking on which way it goes, just have to remember which direction it goes in, “not a big deal but the LG design is better. There are also a couple attachments included, a crevice tool and a combination tool. It’s nice that the charging stand holds both tools, makes them easy to keep track of. Actual use: Now to give this new LG vacuum a good test we didn’t vacuum for four days “we normally vacuum every couple days and our Shark runs daily”, so for us it was ready. We have one dog that sheds quite a bit so vacuuming often is a must. Now starting up the vac is simple, the controls are simply laid out and within thumbs reach. Pressing the power button turns it on it normal mode and I noticed right away that this would be good for bare floors there isn’t enough suction for getting our low pile carpet clean. I used the “Power” mode, “second of the three”, and it started cleaning as I expected and felt close to our Dyson V7. Pushing this around is very similar to our Dyson V7, it’s very maneuverable, but the Shark Ion’s motorized head is almost self-propelled and easier to push around, it also has lights built into the head and makes it much easier to see just where you are cleaning, “I do wish other manufacturers would do this”. The Shark on the other hand is heavier and you can feel the difference especially when having a long cleaning session. I found that the battery lasted right at 12 minutes on the middle “Power” mode, so using both batteries I was able to clean our whole house, right around 1600sqft “1400 of that being carpet”, “our Shark does most of it on one battery and it comes with two also”. I was pretty impressed with how much this vacuum picked up, I had to empty the dust bin 3 times. It’s pretty small and holds probably 2/3rd s of what the Shark does and pretty much the same as the Dyson. There was plenty of dog hair and fine dust in the bin with each emptying. The one thing was that the dog hair balled up and had a tendency to get stuck in the bin, if I couldn’t get it out I found that grabbing the end of the “Dust Separator”, give it a counter clockwise twist and pull it out would dump all the stuck dog hair. There’s really not enough room between the separator and the bin to get your finger in there to clean it out. I’ve never had that problem with the Dyson, and occasionally have a stuck wad of hair in the Shark but there’s enough room to get my hand in to pull that out. Now after everything was gone over very well, and I went over everything twice and to the point I wasn’t getting anything else in the bin I switched over to our Shark Ion. I went over the exact same areas as I did with the LG, and only went over the areas one time on regular “carpet” mode. I was sort of disappointed when I got almost a full container in the Shark which to me means the LG wasn’t pulling as much dirt “or hair” out of the carpet as the Shark. But I was willing to give the LG another chance. I let the batteries charge fully and then cleaned everything again, but this time on “Turbo” mode. This time the LG actually picked up some more dirt after going over everything I did with the LG and Shark before “so the carpet was very clean at this point”, it didn’t pick up a lot, maybe a 1/3 of a dust bin, but it did pick up some more dirt. So if I want the same level of cleaning as the Shark I’ll have to run the LG on “Turbo” in the carpeted areas. On turbo mode the battery lasted exactly 6 minutes, so using two I’ll be able to get most of the house, and I’ll use the turbo mode only in the heavy traffic areas and then use the power mode in non-traffic areas and normal mode on the tile floors. Conclusion: I do like this new LG, it really reminds me of the Dyson V7, and it’s lighter than the Shark by a good bit. Its cleaning ability is equal to the V7 and can match the Shark if I use turbo mode and vary the power modes to extend the battery life “I don’t have to do this with the shark there’s plenty of juice from its single battery to clean most of the house. I really like the charging stand and while the manual shows attaching it to the wall I didn’t see a need for it as it hasn’t tipped over yet and seems sturdy enough without using their wall mount/stabilizing piece. Cleaning up the unit is really easy and I like how the dust separator comes out of the main unit and you can wash it off if it’s really dirty. The main filters are easily replaceable by twisting the top of the motor housing and removing it. The top of the motor housing has the exhaust filter in it, it’s washable but you cannot remove it from the lid and the whole piece would have to be replaced once worn. The pre-filter lifts right out and is also washable, and LG was kind enough to include a second filter. The Shark has three filters and are also very easy to get to and are all washable and replacing them when worn is cheap. I did notice too that there wasn’t any hair stuck to the brush of the carpet power nozzle of the LG. I have long hair and always pick a few hairs out of the brush of the Shark after every cleaning. There were absolutely none stuck to the LG's brush roller which amazed me. If you are looking for a really good vacuum that cleans very well, “you just have to figure out which power settings work best for you”. The LG feels like it’s really well built, isn’t flimsy and the extension tube is adjustable so you can adjust it to your height and to help reach out of the way places when using the tools. I really like the adjust-ability as my husband uses it extended most of the way out and I use it about half extended, I can’t do that with any of the other stick vacs we have. If you have mainly hard floors with area rugs this new LG will be perfect for you. It has plenty of cleaning power and the batteries last plenty long if you don’t have to use turbo mode. If you have thick or heavy pile carpet and a lot of it then this probably isn’t the best choice for you.

LG redesigned their CordZero vacuum line for 2020 now with the motor being near the user's hand rather than along the lower end of the vacuum body like their previous CordZero line. The "Ultimate" option also includes a couple extra parts the regular "Charge" model does not. The box includes the vacuum cleaner body, extension wand, charging station (top of stand or wall-mount) + stand/base, charging adapter, Two 2000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, mounting hardware, power floor nozzle, power carpet nozzle, power punch nozzle (upholstery), detachable nozzle storage piece, crevice attachment, 2-in-1 brush/crevice attachment, a spare pre-filter, owner's manual/paperwork, and a suction-cupped maintenance and quick guide to hang nearby if needed. The vacuum comes with a 1-10 year warranty depending on the parts. PROS: ----------- * The fact that you have 2 batteries is one of the biggest reasons to get this package. There is no reason to have a non-ejectable "built-in" battery so that you're unable to complete a job. And you get not 1 but 2 batteries which doubles your cleaning time. * There is NO index finger trigger button to power on/off. This is awesome. I do NOT want to keep a button depressed for 15-20 minutes while I vacuum. Instead, go to my next point... * Simple operation with only 3 buttons. Power ON/OFF, standard mode, power/turbo mode combo (5 sec hold for turbo). When you select a mode, it stays in that mode until you change the mode or turn off the unit. Some OTHER brands will leave a higher power mode on for only a specific allotted amount of time, then you must hit the button again to engage it again to remain at that speed for another finite amount of time. * Extremely easy to vacuum hardwoods/tile. The roller on the backside of the unit is rubber. As you rotate your wrist and move forward/backward, the vacuum moves with good precision and doesn't slide easily from side-to-side. * Good stand design. It can hold 4 of the 5 attachments at one time. The only oddball out is the upholstery tool which can go in a nearby drawer. The power cord attaches to top/back of the stand with the cord running in a small crevice to conceal it from view. If mounted, the base and stand is not used thus eliminating a hanging spot for 1 floor tool (either the carpet or the hard floor nozzle). * 3 simple lights designate the power remaining while vacuuming. Light sequence is 3 solid lights, 2 solid lights, 1 solid light, 1 blinking light, then the unit cuts off. * All nozzles/attachments CLICK into place to secure a nice fit without coming off. * The telescoping "extension" wand is really great for changing lengths of the unit when needed. (ie. Floor = full length. Doing stairs = shorter length). You can also remove the wand completely and attach any of the 5 heads to the base if you need to vacuum up close (ie. car seats, furniture, etc). CONS: ----------- * Not the cheapest of cordless vacuum cleaners (possibly due to the extra battery included) * If vacuuming thicker carpet, you will need a use a bit more muscle as the rollers on the bottom of the unit are not big, thus making it feel like you're simply pushing/pulling the unit without rollers. Some big corded vacuums might be easier to push/pull on carpet even. * Though I did not time this, the owners manual states one battery takes 3.5 hours to recharge fully. And even though both batteries can be engaged in the charging stand at the same time (1 in the stand, the other in the vacuum cleaner), only 1 can charge at a time. And the one in the vacuum charges first, then the extra battery will charge after that even though the white charging light on the bonus battery slot still blinks. It's a bit weird but the instructions explain it. It would be good if there was a quick charge possibility, but given you get 2 batteries, I'll take the trade-off. * The rear slot in which one of the crevice tools is attached to the charging station can be a little more difficult to reach than the front attachment area just due to placement. Definitely not a deal-killer, but keep the most used of the 2 crevice tools in the front if using the "stand" option (not mounted to a wall). * Low suction speed "standard mode" feels a little less suctiony than another high-dollar vacuum brand. I compared it to that brand with no nozzles attached and the other brand did have a bit more suction on its lowest speed. I feel that the user may need to use "power" mode to get the cleaning ability you really want. With 2 batteries and good runtime, most jobs should be ok with that. * Though emptying is simple, the button to release the dust collector was more tight than I would expect. This may be due to the tightness of the bottom lid with rubber gasket so that dust doesn't come out. Again, not a deal-killer. * When putting the unit onto the charging stand, it doesn't just slide into a groove - you must put it somewhat in the groove and just guide itself down until it clicks. This is really nit-picky but it just didn't attach itself into the charging position like for instance the same way the attachments slide (with no wiggle room) onto the unit and click into place. It just feels a little rickety in a small way when placing it on the charging area. OBSERVED TIMES: --------------------- THESE TIMES are with unit simply running but not being used on floor/surface (1 battery pack): LOW "STANDARD" POWER, CARPET ATTACHMENT - 34 min 30 sec (LG claims 30m) MEDIUM "POWER" POWER, CARPET ATTACHMENT - 13 min 32 sec (LG claims 9m) HIGH "TURBO" POWER, CARPET ATTACHMENT - 6 min 30 sec (LG claims 6m) ACTUAL USE (1 battery pack): MEDIUM "POWER" POWER, CARPET (7m) then HARDWOOD(5:30) attachment - 12 min 33 sec Sorry, I did not time any other use. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------------------------------- * Times overall are on par or slightly better than advertised times in the manual. Keep in mind that as time goes on, the batteries will naturally lose their longevity and they may eventually need to be replaced. No battery lasts forever. * The 2 smaller attachments click into place on the charging station and can rotate 270 degrees left, front, right (with the button facing those directions). * After using in power and turbo mode for an entire duration of battery life, the batteries did not get too hot to the touch nor did it feel like the unit was overheated. If there is a blockage in the tube though, it may start to overheat and/or simply power off so the blockage can be removed. * All filters are washable so they can be used over and over. Just make sure they are completely dry before inserting back into the machine. At some point, they may have to be replaced though if used a ton. CONCLUSION: =================== I have tried 3 different cordless vacuum systems including this one. This unit is definite my favorite. The best selling point is getting 2 batteries though at the price point it's selling at, that may be why the price is so high. The other vacuums were a bit cheaper but came with only 1 battery or a single built-in battery that couldn't be swapped out (only charged inside the unit). The other great feature is the number of attachments/nozzles (5) and the ability to house 4 of them easily if the stand is used (see pictures). The base is extremely solid so it won't fall over, and the colors are nice (gray/silver) and can pretty much fit in anywhere. The overall design is well thought out and should be very comparable or better than its competitors. A little more suction would be nice in standard mode, but overall a great product. Great job, LG!
