Our Verdict

LG CordZero A9 [A916, A916BM]

Dyson V12 Detect Slim

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim and the LG CordZero A9 each have their own advantages. The Dyson weighs less, is easier to maneuver, and has a particle sensor. Conversely, the LG does a better job on carpets, has a larger dustbin, can be bundled with two batteries, and is quieter.
