LG A9 CordZero Cordless Stick Vacuum

Well I bought this rather sheepishly, thinking it would be a fairly scuffed up used affair, plus a little worried it wouldn't really be up to the task. I don't know how they do the renewal, or if I got lucky, but it was absolutely brand new looking. Plastic on everything. Unopened everything. The cardboard box being a work of art unto itself, and therefore insanely impossible to ever put back together if you might need to return it. Dozens and dozens of compartments that fit seamlessly into one another. All cables wrapped/bagged/un-used. Filters, obviously new, never used. *shrug* I don't get it, nor why I'd ever buy 'new' if this was available. Effectively, it is new. I love this thing. It doesn't steer quite as nicely as the dyson. It's really the only slight negative, but the thing that always put me off about the dyson was the built in un-swappable battery and very short battery life. With this design, you have one battery in the base, charging, and one in the machine itself. The one in the machine charges with the vac in the dock. They swap in an instant. It was the pounce point for me, hearing they'd made it this way. I checked it out after seeing them in costco and being interested. You can run it full power and get a solid 25 minutes cleaning time out of it, and though I say that, I usually keep it on speed one, which seems to run for a really really long time, meaning I'm not getting to the swap out point anyway. Regardless, if I ever do, it's there :) Emptying it is a little gross. It works so well that it's fine dust and for us, dog hair mainly. You have to reach in and unscrew the inner filter and pull it out to get it to jettison the cargo, else it stays in place. It seems like maybe there should be a better way than that. Regardless, it's function. Works well. Hangs up and therefore charges again instantly. I'm really happy with it, and it's getting used nearly every day. Once again, I went into this, just slightly nervously. I kept my old vacuum cleaner, just in case, and after a few days knew I could throw it out. This is getting used more because if it's cordless operation. The kids are even using it in their rooms. Very happy. I can't even deduct a star for it not steering like the dyson, or the canister emptying, because they're more gripes than anything functionally bad. It's great. I wish it had a powered smaller head for the car. The floor size is just a little too large for that.
