So let’s dive right into the Power Drive Mop. That’s a pretty versatile kit, allowing you to clean pretty much any surface, with the additional benefit of being able to mop the floor as well. We were sent the purple model (Vintage Wine as LG calls it) in the A9 Kompressor series, which comes with an additional Hard Floor Power Drive Nozzle, the Power Drive Mop and two additional tools for hard dirt and upholstery. Beyond that, each A9 Kompressor model has a different combination of additional tools and Power Drive cleaning heads – the easiest way to distinguish between them all is the color of the handstick. Below the clips for storing the handstick is a niche with charging plates for the second battery pack.Īll four A9 Kompressor models ship with the Multi-Surface Power Drive Nozzle, plus the Combination and Crevice tools, and there’s space to store these on the charging station itself. The charging station can also be wall mounted, but good to know you have a choice.Īs we mentioned, the A9 Kompressor handsticks come with two batteries, and the dock has been designed to top up the spare battery while you’re using the vacuum with the other one. It comes in several pieces that you’ll need to assemble (and might need to consult the manual to get that done), but what we really liked about the charging station is the cable management option at the rear of the vertical piece and the spots available to store your regularly used tools. What sets the CordZero A9 Kompressor apart from is main rival, Dyson, is the free-standing charging station. It requires a relatively tight grip that can be tiring on the arm muscles, and a little time to get used to.Ĭordless handsticks aren’t new and LG has stuck to a familiar design that most people would be instantly familiar with. Moreover, the rotating mop pads also generate some force, which can push the handstick at angles instead of a steady, straight path. The handheld main unit feels heavier than a Dyson handstick and the LG can feel quite unbalanced when you’re maneuvering it around the house, and it’s difficult to hold the unit up for more than a few minutes at a time if you’re clearing cobwebs from the ceiling. The only thing that made us dock that half star in this review is the overall weight distribution of the A9 Kompressor. While this information may be useful to some, we found it quite unnecessary and didn’t use the app once after the initial setup. This allows you to keep tabs on the health of the device, including its filter, the life of the attachments and a cleaning history via a companion app. Like the older CordZero A9 range of handsticks, LG has integrated its ThinQ technology into the A9 Kompressor range as well. Even on Turbo Mode (where the suction power is higher), we got an impressive 27 minutes of battery life from a full charge. LG CordZero A9 Kompressor with All-in-one Tower at Best Buy for $699.99Īnother thing that’s quite impressive about the A9 Kompressor is the battery life: while LG promises that you’ll get up to 60 minutes of power per charge per battery (it ships with two in the box) in normal mode, we actually squeezed out about 75 minutes from one battery and a little over 70 minutes from the second.And while some hard, caked-in dirt might require some elbow grease to get them off your hard floors, we found the LG A9 Kompressor capable of handling most tasks except for the hardiest of grime. The convenience of having a handstick that can both vacuum and mop is immense, and the best part about LG’s Power Drive Mop attachment is it allows you to do both at the same time – it sucks in from the front and spits out water from the back.
