Pros & cons

Miele Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog

  • Multi Floor XXL head adds an LED headlight the base HX2 doesn't have
  • Included Electro Compact handheld brush is a real motorized tool for stairs and upholstery
  • Same 3-in-1 stick / low-reach / handheld design as the rest of the Triflex line
  • Lifetime HEPA filter rated to 99.999% dust retention
  • Removable, swappable battery
  • Cheaper than the twin-battery HX2 Pro for buyers who don't need extended runtime
  • 8 lbs - among the heaviest sticks in its class, and top-heavy in stick mode
  • 0.5 L dustbin needs frequent emptying on a full-house clean
  • 4-hour charge time is slow next to rivals with quick-swap battery packs
  • No published suction figure to compare against competitors
  • No dock, laser, or screen - Miele charges premium prices for engineering, not gadgets

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
