Hi Carmine,

Yes, I saw it the other day. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Sears usually asks more than $320.00.

Hiya,

Hiya,

You bet it astounds me. I still can't get my head around why Sears just doesn't adjust its everyday prices to more attractive levels. However in regard to the DC14, maybe they are merely trying to deplete their stock for that model? They're carrying the DC28 and other more current standard and ball models.

Hi Venson:

Yes indeed.  Lowes selling dysons at 30 percent off of MSRP.  Bed Bath and Beyond at 25 percent off.  DC24 at $ $299.  DC25 Animal $399.  DC28 $449.  If I recall correctly so is Target at 35 percent off.  How low can they go!

Carmine, et al, You're gonna love this. Madison Avenue big gun Young & Rubicam has picked up the gauntlet on behalf of the LG Kompressor vacs. http://www.adweek.com/aw/creative/ad-of-the-day/article_display.jsp?creativeId=274770 Venson

I luv it!  Beats the king size bed bugs one bagless maker use to use years ago.  My 4 grand daughters will enjoy this video too.

BTW, I note that most big box retailers are selling the LG 300-B for $350 before discounts.  A decent price.

LG Web Site is updated with all 3 uprights: 200, 300 and 400.

BEST BUY stores is advertising and selling the LG 200 upright [with auto cord rewind] on sale this week for $250.  A $50 savings from MSRP.

To anyone who has used the LG vacuum, how does it compare to Dyson products?  Is it a good copy or is it a clunker?

Hi Severus,

There's no copying going on. I actually have both the LuV200 and LuV300 in my possession. The high-end LuV400 is basically the same cleaner but has a couple more bells and whistles plus more attachments.

I feel the best in show is the LuV300 which has a decent attachment set-up though it sacrifices a cordwinder that offers 30 feet of cord for a 40-foot cord that you must rewind by hand. As I'm pleased at not having to worry over spots where I can plug in every 20 feet or so of travel, to me that's no big deal though it may be a tragedy to some.

The LG vertical cyclonic system is blessedly simpler and easy to maintain. A foam pre-filter is at the frontlines and, as long as the cylonics are not compromised does a good job. LG suggests that it be checked every three months and rinsed out under plain, cool tap water if need be. LG also supplies two with each machine so should one need cleaning a fresh one can be used in its place. The HEPA is the same -- just pop it out rinse it out under the tap and put it back when dry.

The cleaners weigh 22 pounds but feel less flimsy that most of the Dysons I've tried and best of all they clean well. The "300" model incorporates its hose handle, wand and turbo tool for guiding and steering the machine for upright use. The parts come off the machine with just the press of a button and you're good to go above the floor.

Suction is quite impressive and as always I'm in the process of discovering how mean you can be to this cleaner. Thus far I've been pleasantly surprised. I'd go just about anywhere with this machine and anticipate a job well done.

As for value, the only Dyson comparable to it would be the DC28 that lists at 600 bucks. However, regarding price points laid against features offered (two speeds, height adjustment, remote switch, more convenient attachment use), as far as I'm concerned the LG LuV300 leave's Uncle Jimmy's DC28 -- pardon the pun -- in the dust.

Best,

Venson
