Purchased this unit just over 12 months ago following on from four disastrous Electrolux Stik Vacs. Some of the claims made I was somewhat sceptical, but after 12 months unit is far better than expected. Came with 2 easily changeable 18 volt Li-ion batteries. Takes just over half an hour to vacuum entire house and first battery has not lost any performance, so assume unit runs over one hour before recharging. Another outstanding feature is the turbo roller is belt driven and has four synthetic blades in addition to 2 brushes and never has hair ...Read more

I purchased this handstick to replace a Dyson handheld that had died after 5 years of use. So lets start with the positives...

- Easily manoeuvrable and you can push it around in a breeze
- Plenty of battery life with two batteries to keep you going
- A built in Led light for attracting attention(pardon the pun)

The bad
- The motor head on the vacuum has a 1cm gap on each side which means you can never vacuum along the sides of walls/corners properly unless you just use the handheld without the stick. A bad design floor on LG's part.

Got this based on a review on Lifehacker.

Managed to find it cheapest at the Good Guys 8 months ago from the date of this review as i was living in a furnished apartment with a entry level bagged vacuum.

This unit does a much better job. The dual 30 min batteries are a good idea with the built in lights and the capture canister is easy to access. It also is a splittable unit that turns into a dustbuster. A nice docking station for charging and storage and charging of both the vacuum and the spare battery to have ready at hand.

When our Electrolux stick vacuum died on us recently, I was reluctant to buy another stick vacuum due to the poor performance of the Electrolux (mind you, the battery did last around 3 years, which I'm told is a rarity with Electrolux). Well, the LG CordZero has restored my faith in these vacuums. It's quieter than the Electrolux (though a little heavier but feels more powerful), manoeuvres itself really well over our tiled floor and around furniture, has a light just like the Electrolux that helps me see all the blonde dog fur, the suction p...Read more

Our previous hand stick cleaner only lasted just over 12 months ( Eletrolux) as the rechargeable batter was dead. So it was time to upgrade. Looked and tried different model hand sticks such as Black and Decker, Dyson, LG, Hoover and Bissell). (wont buy a Electrolux again due to the short battery life). Factors that determined what model I chose was ease of use on carpet and tile floor, ability to suck up most type of rubbish, weight of the unit and price. We chose LG as this unit ticked all of these boxes.
It wasn't until we used the hand s...Read more

I use Choice magazine in Australia that test like products to give me a direction of what product will be best for me, but unfortunately in the May 2015 stick vacuum tests, the LG VS8402SCW wasn't included.

I wanted to replace an Electrolux "The Boss" cordless vacuum that has served us well, this was a cordless vacuum rather than cordless stick.

Anyway, I took my own bag of grit including kitty litter dropped whilst filling tray, dog/cat hair plus other dust to The Good Guys and thought I'd ruin the LG CordZero.

Surprisingly, the LG Co...Read more
