This LG bagless upright did quite well in Consumer Reports testing. The only bagless uprights that rated better were the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind UH70120, and the Dyson DC28 Animal.
All three of these rated "excellent" for bare floor cleaning and emissions control. All three were "very good" for carpet cleaning. All three were only "good" at handling. The LG was the quietest of the three (quieter than the Dyson). And the Hoover and the LG rated excellent at pet hair removal, whereas the Dyson only scored a "very good". For airflow through the hose for tool use, the Hoover was best (excellent), the Dyson "very good" and the LG only rated a "good". The Hoover does not have a brush roll on-off feature as the other two offer. Weights: Hoover=18 lbs, Dyson=21 lbs, LG=22 lbs. The Hoover was recalled in May 2010 due to electric shock hazards. Not sure if this has been rectified yet. Just an interesting note, the letters "LG" stand for "Lucky Goldstar", which are the names of the two Korean companies that amalgamated to become one corporation. You use to see a lot of Goldstar computer monitors in the 1990's. |

I see in the photo that the model you are looking at is the LuV200, which actually rated much worse than the LuV300. The feature that tested poorly was "handling" - for some reason, this version does not handle as easily as the LuV300. It also does not control emissions and remove pet hair as well as the higher rated machine.

I'm sure was part of the attraction. It's like pushing a little Mercedes Benz around. |

Why, LG - what gave you the idea for that nice combo tool? |
