    Detailed Test Results

     

    This expensive model from LG has an unusual look for a robot vacuum - a power nozzle attached to a round robot body. Despite its overall impressive cleaning ability, its edge cleaning score suffered from its lack of side brushes or any edge cleaning features. As proof, it barely touched one of the test corners. The robot smeared pet hair into the carpet which made it more difficult for it to pick the hair up. It was very good at sucking up fine grains of flour that was embedded into test carpets. During the runs to see if it would pass over power cords, the robot tugged at the power cords slightly before passing over them. It easily climbed over a .75" threshold and did not have a tendency to scatter debris during testing. The robot has a higher profile than most tested models and may not fit under some furniture. Features: Cleaning Modes: Cell by Cell, Spot, My Space, Turbo, Smart Turbo, Repeat, Zigzag. Power modes: Normal, Turbo. Smart Functions (not tested): Remote Control, HomeGuard™, HomeView™ ,Cleaning Diary, SmartDiagnosis™, Schedule Cleaning, Condition Mark. The HomeView feature allows you to clean your home remotely and sends real-time videos to your smartphone.

    Bare floors: Indicates the vacuum's ability to remove surface debris from a bare laminate floor.

    Navigation: A composite score that includes combined coverage over multiple runs, clearance under furniture and obstacle and entrapment avoidance.
