I like it for fast clean up. Could use a little more power.

Only picks up dust will not pick anything else up ive cleaned it and made sure everything was changed and it didn’t help

The LG CordZero A925KSM Kompressor Stick Vacuum is similar to some other LG cordless vacuum models, and that is a very good thing. The LG A925KSM is an excellent cordless stick vacuum that performs very well and is very pleasant and easy to use. The LG CordZero A925KSM Kompressor arrives very well packed and includes the vacuum motor power head, an aluminum telescoping extension wand (20” collapsed, 29.5” extended), a universal power nozzle (for carpet and bare floors), a combination tool (with removable brush), a crevice tool, a free-standing / wall mountable, portable storage stand with integral battery charger, two lithium ion rechargeable batteries, a spare pre-filter for the motor and a small brush for cleaning the dirt collection canister and motor housing. Assembly of the charging stand is straightforward, and LG provides a quantity of printed product documentation. The stand has a weighted base, which I found to be very stable. The stand may also be wall mounted. The hardware for wall attachment is included. Notably, all of the included components and accessories are accommodated on the charging stand! The combination tool and crevice tool attachments can be used with or without the telescoping extension wand, easily accommodating cleaning out of reach areas, as well as close-up cleaning tasks such as upholstered furniture. The telescoping wand provides four latching positions. All of the attachments easily snap together and latch securely. Cordless stick vacuums are particularly attractive and desirable for their light weight, easy maneuverability and superior convenience. The LG CordZero A925 Kompressor excels in those attributes. The vacuum weighs only 5.95 lbs, with most of the weight concentrated in the motor unit and battery. The handle is large and comfortable. The thumb operated power on/off switch and motor speed control switches (+ / -) are conveniently located and easily operated. Switches only require momentary depression and do not need to be held continuously during operation as some stick vacuums require. The power vacuum nozzle is equipped with a ball-gimbal mount which affords outstanding maneuverability and directional control. The CordZero easily reaches under low furniture, and is easily maneuvered next to walls and furnishings for excellent edge cleaning. The power vacuum nozzle contains a motorized 9” brushroll which operates at all times for both carpeted and hard surface floors. A pair of small rollers facilitates movement on carpeting, but nevertheless, there are times when forward motion required additional physical effort. I found that a high angle of attack exacerbated that issue, and lowering the angle of the stick vacuum reduced the level of required effort. However, I also found that lowering the angle of attack often necessitates bending slightly to lower the handle/stick. This created an occasional annoyance. This issue does not result from the telescoping extension wand being too short. Rather, it is a product of the design of the leading edge of the of the power nozzle which can embed in carpet pile. LG provides a specification of 200 watts of suction power. If LG is actually describing an air watts rating, 200 watts is double the required 100 air watt standard for upright vacuums, and is only slightly below the 220 air watt standard for canister vacuums. I found the suction power to be more than adequate. The CordZero A925 provides three motor speeds (power levels) labeled as Normal, Power and Turbo. The default, Normal mode proved to be extremely effective on both hard and carpeted surfaces. The Power and Turbo motor speeds reduce battery run-time and increase noise level. LG claims 40 minutes of operation (per battery) in Normal mode, 20 minutes in Power mode and 6 minutes in Turbo mode when using the floor cleaning Universal Power Nozzle. When used with a non-powered tool, the claimed operating times are 60 minutes in Normal mode, 30 minutes in Power mode and 7 minutes in Turbo mode. When used with the power nozzle the claimed run times are 40 minutes in Normal mode, 20 minutes in Power mode and 6 minutes in Turbo mode. Using two fully charged batteries provides for doubling of the foregoing operating times. The power unit of the vacuum has an LED display with 3 incremental bars for battery capacity. After using the LG A925 several times, we believe that with the two included batteries, whole house cleaning is well within expectations. The lithium ion, batteries are 25.9 volt, 2.4 Ah / 62.16 Wh (2.3 Ah / 59.57 Wh minimum) capacity. Replacement batteries are expensive so they should be properly maintained. Battery charging is accommodated by charging one battery while attached to the vacuum motor unit as well as the second battery in the charging stand. Batteries are not charged simultaneously; they are charged sequentially. The charging stand first charges the battery which is attached to the vacuum, and upon completion, then charges the second battery in the stand. Each battery requires approximately 4 hours to fully charge (8 hours to charge both batteries). Completion of charging of each battery is annunciated by LED indicators (3 incremental LED bars on the vacuum handle for attached battery, and a single LED on the charging stand for second battery). Completed charging of the primary battery is also annunciated by a push-notification to the available LG Thin-Q smartphone app. The built-in LED panel also shows the progress of charging, the need for filter cleaning, detection of a clogged vacuum flow-path and indicates if Wi-Fi is active. I already had the Thin-Q app installed on my LG smartphone. Nevertheless, it required a few attempts to finally connect the vacuum with the app via wi-fi. The CordZero communicates only on 2.4GHz wi-fi. The Thin-Q app tracks usage of the CordZero by date and cleaning sessions, reporting total hours/minutes of use. It also displays the duration of use in each of the three power modes, and notifies the user when filters require cleaning. Additional data granularity might be useful, such as displaying the duration of individual cleaning sessions, rather than just the grand total of each day’s use. The Thin-Q app displays when the battery attached to the vacuum is being charged and when it is fully charged. It does not provide any additional battery status data such as the remaining capacity of the battery (% remaining), and when charging, the progress of the charge (% charged – time remaining to 100%). There is no information provided for the second battery. One improvement that I believe would be beneficial and appreciated would be the addition of an LED display (with pushbutton) on the LG batteries. Every tool battery pack that I own has such a display. It is very convenient to be able to simply press the button momentarily and for the approximate current remaining charge level of the battery to be instantly displayed on the LED lamps. Air filtration is comprised of multiple filter elements and is listed as being 5 stage HEPA filtration. The filters are removable and washable. A spare pre-filter is also included. The small dust collection bin can fill quickly. The CordZero A925 Kompressor employs a very unique lever operated “piston” to compress the dust and pet hair in the bin, thereby extending the intervals between emptying. A single press of the release latch quickly and neatly dumps the contents of the dust bin. I am hopeful that the CordZero A925 proves to be durable and reliable, but of course, only time will tell. The unit is comprised of a significant quantity of plastic components. The latch and hinge which secure the dust collection bin appear to potentially be fragile. Nevertheless, the vacuum appears to have a high quality build, with a solid feel and well made and nicely finished components. The LG CordZero A925 Kompressor is a high-quality stick vacuum! Overall, the LG CordZero A925 Kompressor stick vacuum is excellent. It is compact, lightweight, easily maneuverable, and efficient. It is powerful, yet not unpleasantly noisy. It is well-equipped with accessories which attach and detach with ease, and all of which have dedicated storage places on the included charging/storage stand. The two large capacity batteries provide approximately two hours of run-time with the non-powered tools or approximately 80 minutes of operating time when used with the power nozzle, which is more than adequate for thoroughly cleaning a large house. The vacuum cleaning power and efficiency are great. I believe that you will be just as thoroughly pleased and satisfied with the excellent CordZero A925 Kompressor stick vacuum as we are with ours!

The LG A9 CordZero is the latest in LG’s stick vacuum cleaner models. I have one of the earliest versions and for the most part was happy with it, but there were a couple of buggy things I didn’t like and this one seems to have cleared those up. The CordZero comes with several accessories and mine came with the main vacuum head (10.2 inches wide) with extension pipe, a second battery, a spare air filter (one is already inserted), a crevice tool and another with a brush, along with a cleaning brush to help clean the canister out. A stand is also included which is very handy as you can set the main container unit in it to charge the battery and hold it. I use mine on it’s included stand on the floor, but you can mount it on the wall if you prefer. The CordZero is smaller compared to some other stick vacuums, so has a smaller dirt container on it. My older model would get easily clogged with dirt and frankly was a little bit of a pain to clean out. The newer A9 model has a lever which they call a Kompressor lever, and you just slide it down a couple of times when emptying the bin, and it forces anything stuck in the upper area out – MUCH easier than before. Being smaller makes it easier to handle as it doesn’t weight much, and the main head swivels and pivots easily around furniture and gets into smaller areas. Unfortunately, there is no LED light on it to light up your path, though. It will let you know when the air filter needs to be changed, but they last a good while. The roller in the main vacuum head slides out for cleaning as well. You have three levels of power (normal, power, and turbo), so your battery life will vary depending on what you use. Normal can get you from 40-60 minutes, but I find this is best for just light duty work. Power mode is noticeably stronger, and you’ll get from 20-30 minutes per charge on that setting. The Turbo mode is the strongest and works the best, but you’ll drain the battery in just 6-7 minutes using this. Having the second battery is essential for this machine, but since the stand can charge both of them at the same time, you’ll be topped off when you need to use it. Again, I find the Power mode to be the sweet spot of good cleaning power and battery power. The handle is easy to hold, and the buttons easy to reach while using it (via your thumb). At only just over 10 inches, the main vacuum head won’t cover huge areas per swath, so if you have HUGE rooms and a lot of them, you might need to look for a larger model, but for many, this one and the two batteries should work. And note – this is NOT for wet vacuuming – just dry dirt, dust, hair, etc. You can download the “LG ThinQ” app from Apple or Google with this model, and it will connect via WiFi to the vacuum (2.4 Ghz only), so after creating an account with it and picking the item you have, you can monitor how often you’ve cleaned it, if the filter is getting clogged up, or run diagnostics should you feel there is an issue. Handy to have to monitor the status of the vacuum and easy enough to navigate through once you get it installed, though it was a bit buggy and unnecessarily fiddly to get connected and working initially for me (eventually it kicked in, though). Overall I really like this updated model. It works as well or slightly better than the original, the Kompressor lever makes cleaning it out much easier, and the size is perfect for many. My only complaint that remains with this one is that the main cleaning head isn’t so great with certain larger items (hair if you get an indoor haircut, nuts, etc), so you have to slightly lift up the head and pull it backward over those items to catch them. Not a game changer, but something to be aware of. Other than that, it works very well on my carpet and hardwood. Look for sale prices but most of these aren’t inexpensive, but it’s worth it for what you get.

The LG CordZero Cordless Stick Vacuum is a great looking, relatively light vacuum cleaner which fits in nicely between our existing corded and robot vacuum cleaners. Unboxing and assembly seemed to take longer than I had anticipated, as some of the references in the quick-start and instructions referred to items that were not included in my set. It appears that there are three different flavors of this vacuum and although I am happy with mine, it had references to accessories, an accessory holder and mopping ability which this one does not have. Again, not a problem as I did not get the vacuum for mopping but it was a bit confusing at first to use the one-size-fits-all instructions. The manual advises charging the batteries before usage so I timed it and it was about an hour or so before the battery was fully charged. Once the vacuum charging mount is assembled, it provides a spot to charge the battery as well as dock the vacuum with its-on-board battery and both will charge in sequence. This means that once the primary battery runs out, you can just swap it out for the spare and then charge that one as you continue cleaning, doubling the effective running time. The vacuum itself will slide down the very top part of the mount and once settled there, it will charge the on-board battery as the other battery remains below, in its mount – very clever! The charging mount can be free-standing or attached to a wall with the included mounting hardware. You can even dispense with the stand’s foot if you are wall mounting and don’t need to free-stand the vacuum. I am using the freestanding mount for now but will likely mount it later down the line. The stand includes two accessory mount points which securely hold the two included tools (crevice and soft brush). It means that the accessories are not with you as you clean but they are at least in an obvious storage spot. Even some corded standing vacuums don’t have the tools on board so this is not a big deal but I occasionally see something I wish I had the tool for and then have to really want it, to stop what I am doing and head back to base for the tool. The vacuum can join your Wi-Fi network and then the LG ThinQ app will track things like battery life, cleaning history and other interesting but not necessary data. For me, it is mostly a novelty but I do like when the app notifies me that the batteries are fully charged again. Using the vacuum is quite liberating. After years of cleaning a 2600 square foot home with various corded vacuums, it was eye-opening to take the same route with a cordless vacuum. With the universal floor tool attached, I found I was moving around quicker than with the corded. As the vacuum is lighter and did not have as aggressive beater bar inside the floor tool, I was concerned it wasn’t as powerful as the corded. It certainly leaves less obvious marks on the carpet but still seemed to collect the same amount of carpet fiber, pet hair and other debris. The manual had warned that the universal floor tool might be loud on hard surfaces but I did not really notice and it did fine on our mix of carpet, vinyl and laminate floor. Being able to just keep going where I would previously have to retrace my steps, in order not to exceed the power cord length was great. In addition, the Kompressor technology helps to reduce stops and visits to empty the debris cannister in the garbage. The Kompressor really is just a push button slide that pushes hair, carpet fiber etc. down near the bottom of the cannister so you can continue vacuuming for longer. I found it did reduce stops but did not really push it to the limit, in case it reduced cleaning power. It also helped keep the cannister cleaner as debris wasn’t able to just gather at the top although it remains to be seen if that will continue to work or dust will build up near the top over time. That said, the manual said you could wash out the cannister so it may not be an issue if you keep up with maintenance. I was able to do about three quarters of our house, including stairs, with a single battery on normal power. Occasionally I would boost the power to get something embedded in the carpet but did not need the turbo function yet. The LG documentation shows that the battery life is drastically reduced if you run it in the higher modes for too long so I was careful. Swapping batteries was painless other than the vacuum abruptly stopping and needing to walk back to the charging station to swap them over. I then had plenty of power to return upstairs and finish the last two rooms. The app kept track of running time and battery status as I cleaned which was interesting but not especially useful. Perhaps over time it could be but the jury is still out for me on the app right now. At worst, it might be helpful when it comes time to replace some of the consumable parts like filters and batteries, which LG warns will wear out and need to be replaced at some point. In summary, I am very happy with the portability and power of this vacuum and it seemed to be on par with the bigger, heavier corded vacuum we own. It could be run as a stick vacuum or you could remove the stick part and use it to clean stairs or inside a car, with lots of power and even more portability to get in smaller spaces. The battery life is good enough to clean a fairly large house, especially as it comes with two batteries and one can always be on charge. The Kompressor tech is useful but not especially glamorous – still makes it better than most cannisters in terms of keeping them clean and how often they need emptying before they affect the cyclone effect. Great job LG!
