Consensus
our Verdict
Critics lauded the LG CordZero A9 Ultimate and endorsed it for bare floors and carpets. It removed an outstanding 100% of the large debris from bare floors and 83% on low-pile carpets, producing up to 0.85 kPa of suction power.
However, it performs dismally on high-pile carpets, removing just 53% of the large debris during testing. See the Miele Triflex HX1 review for a model that performs better on high-pile carpets.

Analysts at Product Review hailed its relatively low 71.0 dBA noise level and two detachable battery packs that yield a combined total of 74 minutes of battery life.
