We had a hand held Dyson vacuum which was great. It got a bit old and the battery power was very limited, and it would run out of power before I'd finished the vacuuming. It was the only problem that vacuum had. Otherwise, it was great.
So, eventually, we went to the shop to buy a new Dyson vacuum with longer battery life.
In the shop we somehow bought a LG vacuum rather than a new Dyson, I can't remember now exactly why. It had an extended battery life, as well as having two batteries.
That was a very big mistake. BIG MISTAKE!
The LG hand held vacuum quite simply is a piece of crap. It really is so bad, it is difficult to see how it was ever fit for purpose.
In the very beginning, it kept turning itself off, so we sent it back under warranty, and, even that, LG couldn't get right. It took forever, the warranty work never seemed to get done, then when it finally was returned to us, they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it and they charged us $70 service fee.
Admittedly, it never suddenly switched itself off again once we got it back, so, effectively, LG made us pay for the repair under warranty. Great warranty.
It has this stupid turbo button, which you are supposed to push if you want the thing to suck harder. (don't we always want our vacuums to suck harder?) That function is difficult to switch on and once you have switched it on, it keeps disengaging very easily.
It has a very narrow opening in the body of the machine from the hose/tube part that keeps blocking up, making it almost impossible to vacuum a room without multiple trips to the bin to unclog it.
It really is a terrible machine.
Why, oh why, did we not buy a new Dyson, which we are going to have to do now, as vacuuming is too difficult with the LG.
My final thoughts, do not buy a LG vacuum, buy a Dyson.
