Customers appreciate the CordZero Cordless Stick Vacuum with ThinQ for its long battery life, powerful suction, and easy-to-clean design. The Kompressor feature is also well-received as a welcome addition. The vacuum's cordless design, charging stand, and attachments are also seen as positive features.
I like it for fast clean up. Could use a little more power.

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!
