If you just need to mop, then normal power is what you need, but if you’d like to vacuum and mop as you go – like we did as it saved us a huge amount of time every time we used the handstick – then bump up to Turbo power and dirt, debris and stains are gone in the one cleaning run. The good thing about the Power Drive Mop is there’s a suction hole in the front as well. With water in the tank, you’re ready to go. All you have to do is choose a matching pair, wet them, wring them out and stick ‘em onto the Velcro discs. Two pairs of round mops come in the box – one soft, the other a little rough for ‘polishing’ the floor. The clamp for the tank seemed to be drip-proof during our testing.
The top tank pops right off with the push of a button, and can be filled through an opening on the side. This is the largest cleaning head in the box – on top is a transparent, grey ‘tank’ and on the underside is a pair of rotating discs with Velcro. 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.
#KOMPRESSOR MANUAL#
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.
