Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi vacmanuk,

That's merely a pound above my S7 if my recall is correct.   Weight issues are in the eye . . .  um . . . I mean the hand of the user.  A 22-pound upright that won't be being carried around a lot is not necessarily a big deal for one in decent health.  There have been and are heavier cleaners.  In the case of persons of dimunitive size or of age or possessing ailments that would cause use of more weighty machines to be a burden, the 22 pounds is an issue.  They definitely should choose lightweight machines.

As for me, right now I'm thinking tea and cookes.  The steps could stand another sleaning and a trip up and down with the Miele should burn the extra calories right off.

Cordwinder probably adds extra weight [on the LV200] as does the 40 feet of cord [LV300].  Full size uprights generally are greater than 16 pounds in the USA.

Hi,

I like to include those because they speak tomes sometimes -- especially where use and maintenance are concerned.

Hi,

Just a heads-up -- P.C. Ricjhard, an eastern chain of appliance and electronics stores, has dropped the price on both the LuV200 and LuV200 by $30.00 for July 4th.  I'm wondering if the new price will hold after the holiday.

Hi Venson:

Unless sales are going great guns, and I tend to think they are not, these LG vacuum prices will have to come down/keep going down.  Only way retailers will move these LG bagless vacuums [all high price bagless] is to continually discount the prices over time.  If not, they will gather dust on the shelves.

Hi Venson:

I see Home Depot is selling the LG200 now thru July 28 for $299 plus 10 percentb off.  Other retailers are holding the $299 price too before discounts.

Your welcome.  I think it may be worth $270.  Time and more review will tell.

Several appliance retailers who carry LG products have reverted/resorted to gifting the Kompressor with the purchase of LG washer and dryer.  And offering financing on the W/D purchases.

FWIW, the LG Kompressor models are receiving alot of retailers' advertising space these days not just as stand alone purchases but bundled with other LG appliances.  I haven't had an opportunity to scope out yet but it's on my agenda.  Just wondering out loud if others have/will and what their opinions of the LG vacuum products are, Kompressor models in particular.  Venson, Vacmanuk, I know you both are always up to date on the latest and greatest in the vacuum world, have you followed up with these LG Kompressors?
