Pros & cons
Dyson Gen5detect
- ✓280AW Boost suction is the highest of any US cordless stick
- ✓Whole-machine HEPA sealing captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns
- ✓Single-press power button — no more holding a trigger for the whole clean
- ✓Laser dust illumination plus piezo particle counter that auto-boosts on dirty patches
- ✓70-minute max runtime, the longest of Dyson's mainline sticks
- ✓Built-in crevice tool stows inside the wand
- ✗At 7.6 lbs it's noticeably heavy for above-floor and stair cleaning
- ✗Expensive even on sale — reviewers call the gains over the V15 marginal
- ✗70-minute figure is Eco mode only; Auto on carpet drains much faster
- ✗4.5-hour charge time is long for a flagship
- ✗No app connectivity or smart features beyond the onboard LCD
LG CordZero All-in-One Tower Cordless Stick Vacuum with Auto Empty & Kompressor
- ✓All-in-One Tower auto-empties the bin every time you dock it, so you handle dust far less often
- ✓Two quick-release batteries deliver a genuine 120-minute total runtime
- ✓Kompressor compresses debris for roughly 2.4x more usable capacity between tower empties
- ✓ThinQ app adds Wi-Fi, battery/filter monitoring, and SmartDiagnosis
- ✓LG publishes real weight (5.95 lbs), dimensions, and an 84 dB noise figure - most of its own lineup doesn't
- ✗At $799 it's the most expensive LG stick in our catalog before the flagship A949KTMS
- ✗84 dB is on the louder side for a home vacuum
- ✗Tower dock takes up more permanent floor/wall space than a simple wall mount
- ✗Still a 1-year parts & labor warranty despite the premium price
- ✗33.8 oz dust tank is the same size as LG's cheaper single-battery trims, despite the higher price
