LG Kompressor Pet Care Upright Vacuum, Bagless, Red, LuV200R

Demonstration of Features and Vacuum Power


Sucking Amazing!
Whoever designed this vacuum must have spent a lot of time vacuuming, because it fixes all those annoying little details. Retractable cord? Check. Quick and easy access to tools? Check. Simple to switch between carpet and hard floors? Check. Multiple levels for the roller brush, also easy to switch between? Check.

What really impressed me, though, was the little things you never knew you wanted. While setting it up, I said to myself, "Oh, that's clever!" more than once. The hose connects to the body with a magnet. The crevice tool and upholstery brush are actually one tool--the brush slides down over the crevice for use. The extension part of the tube is, well, I can't really explain it, but it's cool and easy to use! And I have no idea how it does it, but it doesn't get the fringe on my rug all tangled up in the sweeper bar, so I don't have to switch to the hard floor to do the edges. Again, it's a little thing, but it makes a difference.

As for how...

Kompresses the Dirt? Kool!
We recently bought the LG Kompressor vacuum cleaner (the LuV200R model). The main selling point for my wife was the retractable cord and that it seemed to have stronger suction than other vacuum cleaners we tested. I liked that it was noticeably quieter than the other vacuum we were considering.

I like the large canister, which opens downward to make disposing of the dirt easier. An interesting feature of this vacuum is the "Kompressor" system that uses a kind of wide wiper blade in the collection canister to pack the dirt tightly. This makes it less messy when disposing of the dirt, and minimizes the number of times that the canister needs to be emptied. With two cats (one a long-hair), and a Golden Retriever, plus three kids, this is an attractive feature because there's a lot of dirt, dust and pet hair that needs to be vacuumed in our house!

There are two filters (including a HEPA), and they're both washable. The filters work well and there seems to be minimal...
