Our Verdict

Dyson V8

LG CordZero A9 [A916, A916BM]

The Dyson V8 is slightly better than the LG CordZero A9. The Dyson incurs virtually no recurring costs, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, weighs a little less, and performs better on high-pile carpet. Meanwhile, higher-end LG variants come with a second battery, giving them a much longer total runtime. The LG also clears more debris on low-pile carpet.
