Our Verdict

Dyson V7

LG CordZero A9 [A916, A916BM]

The LG CordZero A9 is a little better than the Dyson V7. The LG can be bundled with two batteries, yielding a much longer maximum runtime if you keep them both charged. It also performs significantly better on most floor types. However, the Dyson has fewer parts that need periodic cleaning and incurs minimal recurring costs.
