LG vacuum cleaners: types, accessories and tips for choosing
LG technology has long been the best proven on the market. The Korean manufacturer creates first-class, well-thought-out designs. That is why it is worth paying close attention to vacuum cleaners of this brand.
Peculiarities
The company produces a wide range of household appliances. In the process of its development and manufacture, the latest technological and engineering solutions are actively used. The policy of the company's management is quite clear: it is to achieve impeccable quality and high reliability. At the same time, they do not forget about maintaining optimal prices (more profitable than for similar products from other firms). The range includes robotic and conventional vacuum cleaners, compressor and simple container vacuum cleaners.
Electricity consumption ranges from 0.09 to 2 kW, and air intake power ranges from 0.025 to 0.42 kW. The smallest capacity of the dust collectors is 0.35 liters, and the largest is 1.5 liters. Microscopic filters on vacuum cleaners always comply with the HEPA standard, albeit in different categories. Control can be carried out using special elements located on the handle or on the body. Therefore, you can choose a perfectly satisfying model; regardless of the choice, the device will be comfortable to use.
Components
It is often necessary to purchase not only the vacuum cleaner itself, but also the accessories for it. The choice of such components is determined individually. There are specific accessories for each LG model. The vast majority of vacuum cleaners of the Korean concern are produced without a dust bag, which simplifies the work. But capacious containers (dust collectors) must be attached.
If you are purchasing a bag model, you will have to buy a bag holder over time. Initially, it is included in the basic delivery set. Motors are also ordered additionally, albeit relatively rarely. In addition, a hose may be required.
Various brushes are used in addition to the vacuum cleaner. It is not only a turbo brush that effectively collects wool and hair, but also a brush for knocking dust out of furniture. Some brushes have a latch, others do without it; these accessories are unable to replace each other. Usually these brushes and attachments are matched by diameter. If you cannot do this, you must give preference to universal accessories or brushes with a set of adapters. Most often in practice, "floor-carpet" type brushes (regular and corner) are used. They allow you to clean both soft and hard floor coverings.
You will need to use another accessory if you need to clean parquet or parquet board. Certain types of brushes are designed for:
- cleaning upholstered furniture;
- removing dirt from hard-to-reach areas;
- carrying out wet cleaning.
Regardless of the type of attachments, a telescopic tube is useful. It allows you to work quite far from the problem area. But the manufacturer also takes care that other replacement parts can be purchased. These include:
- roller wheels;
- seals for engines;
- filters for containers;
- outlet air filters;
- dust collector covers;
- bags for regular and washing models;
- charging stations for robotic cleaners;
- microfiber attachments.
Types of devices
Even an acquaintance with the types of accessories and components that are used on LG vacuum cleaners shows that this technique is very diverse.There is nothing surprising here - a large concern offers a wide range of household appliances, trying to cover as many niches as possible.
The washing vacuum cleaner, regardless of the nuances of a particular model, works due to two water tanks. Clean liquid is poured into one before starting work, and the second is left empty - this is where dirty water will be pumped.
Washing machines, contrary to popular misconception, do more than just clean up dirt on the floor. They are also suitable for:
- usual dry cleaning;
- removal of spilled liquids;
- cleaning especially difficult dirt;
- tidying up mirrors, upholstered furniture.
An increase in air humidity is a side effect.
If there is no particular desire or opportunity to regularly clean up the house, a vacuuming robot will help. LG's modern technology makes it much better than before. South Korean engineers have been able to create devices that:
- remove dirt on their own;
- avoid falling from a height or from a ladder;
- avoid obstacles;
- can overcome a moderately high threshold.
It is worth noting that robotic vacuum cleaners are quite expensive. However, they are unable to replace 100% conventional models. Periodically, you still have to carry out a standard cleaning, albeit one that requires less effort. But the advantage of robots is less noise during operation.
Returning to conventional vacuum cleaners, it is useful to pay attention to models with an aquafilter.... This solution (keeping dirt in a special water tank) is deservedly considered the most practical and convenient. Much less dust and other harmful particles are thrown into the room with the air stream. Importantly, dust does not accumulate in such a system (it is poured out with water), and therefore, during long-term operation, the quality of air purification does not decrease.
But you need to understand that an aquafilter is a very expensive solution. Not everyone can afford to buy vacuum cleaners with it. In addition, water filtration makes household appliances heavier. When the cleaning is over, you cannot just put the vacuum cleaner aside (as is done with "dry" models). It is imperative to drain all the dirty water, and thoroughly wash the tank itself.
If this is not done, the risk of breakage will be very high. Not to mention the fact that the subsequent cleaning will still start with preliminary preparation.
Cyclonic vacuum cleaners also deserve attention. They are a subspecies of the classic "dry" apparatus. But the air stream, once inside, moves not in a straight line, but in a spiral. This solution eliminates the need for dust-collecting bags. At the same time, the need for constant cleaning of containers disappears. The cyclone filter always works at the same power level, regardless of the filling of the container, however, for the same reason, it will not be possible to adjust the intensity of the device.
The weakness of "cyclones" is that they cannot work normally, collecting hair, fluff or wool. And if solid objects get inside, they will make an unpleasant noise, scratching the case from the inside. Most cyclone vacuum cleaners are designed for three-level filtration, which protects from dust, from coarse particles, and prevents the release of harmful substances to the outside. Only the most expensive models have 4 or 5 filters. Typically, such devices are recommended for those suffering from allergies and immune disorders.
Models
Having briefly described the main types of vacuum cleaners, you can go on to consider the assortment offered by the South Korean company.
Very good results are obtained by using LG VK76A09NTCR. This version is part of the popular Kompressor line, that is, it not only collects dust, but also compresses it after being sucked in. Therefore, you can get by with smaller than usual dust collectors. Removing the accumulated dirt from the container is quick and easy.
All vacuum cleaners of the compressor series (including this one) are given a one-year warranty.Importantly, the manufacturer guarantees that with proper handling of the vacuum cleaner as a whole, the pressing system will last at least 10 years. The design is designed from the outset to provide a high centrifugal force; as a result, even microscopic dust particles are more efficiently screened out. During operation, this unit emits a sound no louder than 78 dB. The start and stop button is located on the red housing.
The VK76A09NTCR vacuum cleaner is equipped with a steel telescopic tube. A 5 m power cord allows for a range of up to 8 m. With a power consumption of 2 kW, the suction power reaches 0.38 kW. The outlet is equipped with a HEPA 11 filter with eight cleaning layers. The capacity of the dust container, made of polycarbonate, reaches 1.5 liters.
As for the CordZero A9, this is not a model, but one of the varieties of parts that are put on various vacuum cleaners. For example, on the VSF8405SC. The vertical battery pack with lithium ion battery is equipped with a turbine brush. The uniqueness of the cordless vacuum cleaner is that it is made in a 2-in-1 format. The features of vertical and handheld portable models are combined. The designers have taken care of the maximum weight of the product. They did not forget about the pleasant, laconic design. The inverter motor can reduce the noise level by up to 70 dB. A cyclone-class dust collector is hidden in the orange case. According to the manufacturer, 94% of dust and fine debris is collected from hard surfaces and 60% from carpet.
The turbo brush effectively picks up hair and fur and can be rotated 180 degrees as needed. It was equipped with LED lighting. There is also a charge level indicator. The control of the vacuum cleaner is brought to the handle. The suction power reaches 0.025 kW, and the air flow passes through the microfilter.
LG VK76A09NTCR can be a good alternative to the already described model. It is made using highly efficient "compressor" technology. Filtration of dust with a cyclonic container further improves practical performance. The developers have provided for equipping the vacuum cleaner with a multilayer filter of the HEPA 11 standard. The volume of the sound emitted by the red device does not exceed 78 dB.
To some extent, the placement of control elements on the body can be considered a disadvantage. The ratio of electrical and suction power is traditional: 2 and 0.38 kW. The dust collector holds up to 1.5 liters of dust. The scope of delivery includes:
- mixed nozzle for hard floors and carpets;
- a brush for cleaning thick dust;
- slot nozzle;
- turbine brush.
With dimensions of 0.575x0.31x0.315 m, the vacuum cleaner weighs 5.2 kg. This means that it will be quite convenient to use it. LG VK76W02HY differs from the previous model using the HEPA 12 filter. You can control the vacuum cleaner from the handle. The scope of delivery includes a turbine brush and a crevice cleaner.
The dimensions of the silver case are 0.575x0.31x0.315 m. The weight is the same 5.2 kg. LG VK89380NSP is equipped with a HEPA 13 filter. The developers found it necessary to use lighter aluminum instead of steel for the telescopic tube. In addition to the main filter, 2 more are used - with carbon filling and made in the form of a mesh. A 6 m power cord allows you to tidy up within a 6 m radius; the operating volume is 82 dB.
LG VK88504HUG differs from the previous modifications by the unique "Turbocyclone" system. Such an installation not only filters dust, but also maintains a stable air intake speed. Dust and air streams are clearly separated. A brush is provided that removes both dust and upholstered furniture. There is also a nozzle for cleaning in narrow crevices.
When this vacuum cleaner works, it makes a sound no louder than 78 dB. This is possible thanks to the reinforced sound-absorbing system. The red VK88504HUG is controlled by a power regulator placed on the handle. The high quality aluminum telescopic tube works very reliably. Consuming 2 kW, the device sucks in air with a power of 0.42 kW.
LG VK76A09NTCB is equipped with a HEPA 11 filter.As with other compressor versions, minimal contact with dirt is ensured. A steel telescopic tube is inserted into the blue body. With a cord length of 5 m, a range of up to 8 m is supported. The set of attachments is quite typical; The brand warranty is 1 year.
The modern LG VRF6570LVM vacuum cleaner is fully automated. This device was equipped with an inverter motor and tuned in such a way that the corners were removed more carefully. Therefore, the traditional problem of robotic vacuum cleaners has been practically solved - the passage of dirt in hard-to-reach places. A carefully calculated video camera system is provided to coordinate the work. The creators of this model have achieved the maximum variety of harvesting modes; but each of them was also made minimally noisy, which is very important.
The square robot is equipped with 7 cm brushes. The robust motor ensures that the vacuum cleaner lasts longer than usual. The route adjusts not only to the picture given by video cameras, but also to the level of illumination. Even in almost complete darkness, cleaning will continue and be completed properly. The digital system, which quickly recognizes all barriers, works more efficiently than conventional rubber bumpers; a breakage sensor is also provided.
But the robot is also capable of learning independently. Moving around the same room, he accumulates information about all obstacles, cliffs. The "resume motion" option is also very useful. If the vacuum cleaner is moved manually no more than 1 m, it will instantly detect a new point. In the event of any interruption, floor cleaning will resume from where it was left.
The top position of the dust container makes it easy to remove. To open the housing cover, you just need to touch it. The design was thought over with the expectation of minimal re-clogging of the air with dust. The 0.6 l container is sufficient for most practical tasks. If necessary, you can use the robot to wipe the floor - you just need to install a microfiber pad.
If the vacuum cleaner is in turbo mode, the noise will not exceed 69 dB. In normal operation, it is 60 dB at all. Nicely, the red body is covered with a material with a three-dimensional effect. The manufacturer claims that the LG VRF6570LVM will be able to collect 92% of dust from hard floors and 45% from carpets and rugs. Replaceable exhaust filter HEPA 11 compliant; in front of it, the air passes through a dust collector with a capacity of 0.6 liters.
Another good option is the LG VK89304H. This is an excellent compressor vacuum cleaner with cyclone dust collector. The silver device emits sound up to 79 dB during operation. The cleaning radius is 9 m. The total power is 2 kW, and the suction power is 0.42 kW.
LG VC73203UHAO does not deserve special attention, since this vacuum cleaner has ceased to be produced. But it is useful to consider the LG VK76R03HY. A container with a capacity of 1.5 liters is hidden in a compact body. Thanks to the powerful compression, its real capacity is equal to 4.5 liters. Passing through the HEPA 12 multi-layer purifier, the air is effectively freed from contaminants. The nozzle for collecting dirt in crevices works very well in any hard-to-reach place in the room. When used, the unit is no louder than 78 dB.
LG VK89682HU is another dust squeezer with HEPA 13/14 filter systems. It is equipped with an aluminum telescopic tube. A turbine brush will improve the condition of the floor in the room and is guaranteed to remove all dust, all hair from carpets.
The red device emits a sound no louder than 77 dB. The motor consuming 1.8 kW / h of current allows for suction with a power of up to 0.38 kW. The 1.2 l dust collector only seems small: strong compression allows you to keep accumulated dirt from being thrown out of it for a long time. Of course, the South Korean concern has also provided for equipping with a nozzle for cleaning narrow cracks and crevices. The delivery set also includes a brush that simultaneously removes dust from the floor and upholstered furniture.
Choosing a bagless vacuum cleaner, many consumers deservedly stop their attention on the LG VC53000EBNT. In terms of volume, it is at least as good as other analogs. At the same time, it turns out to be even slightly lighter (5 kg versus 5.2 kg for most other models). The blue device comes with a steel telescopic tube, assembled in two parts. A cleaning radius of 8 m is enough to solve most household tasks.
The LG VC42202YHTR was recently discontinued, as was the LG VRF6570LVMB. Instead, you should buy the LG VK89601HQ. The dust, from which the air is released, is compacted 3 times. To ensure that the air discharged outside is completely clean, a HEPA 13/14 filter is used. The aluminum tube is easily adjustable. The optimal balance between power consumption and suction power is guaranteed.
LG VK89382HU has a good position. The six-kilogram vacuum cleaner winds up the power cable itself. The power is infinitely variable. The attachments can be assembled without any problems. LG VK89380NSP is a powerful and inexpensive device. It copes well with dirt, but is quite heavy and prone to overheating.
How to choose?
First of all, you should decide on the required power of the vacuum cleaner. Devices consuming 2000 W are clearly less economical than those designed for 1600 W. But it must be remembered that the current consumption is not directly related to the suction power. If the unit draws in dust more efficiently, the increased electricity consumption is justified.
Equally important is where the dust gets after suction. The paper bag is always disposable, and the cloth bag can be reused many times by cleaning it systematically. However, replaceable dust bags cannot by themselves retain microscopic particles.
Therefore, the best of all are those that are equipped with cleaning filters. With the availability of funds, it is quite possible to buy vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter. But we must remember that they will be larger and heavier than conventional models.
The container should be as capacious as possible: even the weight of the apparatus is quite justified. After all, you will have to throw away dirt and wash the dust collector less often. If you need to regularly disinfect the floor, you should choose vacuum cleaners with a steam generator. As for the volume, it makes no sense to purchase devices for the home that emit a sound louder than 80 dB. This is the maximum volume level of washing vacuum cleaners designed to clean laminate flooring.
Attention should also be paid to:
- the comfort of using the attachments;
- the convenience of the controls;
- the maneuverability of the vacuum cleaner;
- the length of the network cable.
Reviews
The LG VK76102HU vacuum cleaner is praised for the minimum volume and the absence of a dust bag. The convenience of the device is also highly valued. The minimum footprint is very relevant in most homes. Cleaning the container from dirt is very easy. The wire is long enough to clean any part of the house without problems.
The inclusion is also not a big problem. The sound volume does not rise even when turned on at the highest speed. LG VK76A01ND (R / S) is a fairly light model. The designers abandoned the use of bags, instead of them, a comfortable plastic container is placed. The vacuum cleaner runs very well as it is equipped with large wheels.
The brush ensures that the maximum amount of dirt is collected from both carpets and flat areas. Consumers note that the rubberized hose is very durable and elastic. And the strength of the vacuum cleaner body is beyond doubt. The control is simple and logical: the device is turned on and off with one button, and the network cable is wound with the other.
The most important thing is the removal of dirt and dust, very well debugged. LG vacuum cleaners extract maximum dirt from carpets. Users are sometimes even surprised at the first cleaning, how much debris was hidden there. It should be noted that filters have to be changed frequently.
As for robotic vacuum cleaners, it is not so simple. Some models try to climb small obstacles such as furniture legs. Therefore, you still have to prepare the room before cleaning.But the cost of automatic models is fully justified. Dirt can be removed without problems. The sensors are set up very well, but it should be borne in mind that robots only move normally on dry floors.
Battery charging lasts exactly as long as the manufacturer claims. It is recommended to close the doors to the bathrooms, since the robots will not be able to cross the thresholds in the opposite direction. Automation instantly recognizes carpet run-in and immediately increases capacity. Touch control blocking is very useful where pets or small children live. Do not turn the vacuum cleaner over, because then all the dirt will spill out.
