Wins overall by 0.7 points
Quick Verdict
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS takes this by a clear 0.7 points. Two batteries and a bagless auto-empty tower; 120 minutes means both, with no nozzle. The Dyson V15 Detect Plus only makes sense if it wins on a category you care about more than the total.
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS and Dyson V15 Detect Plus are both closely matched cordless Vacuum models, and the Dyson V15 Detect Plus is $176 cheaper than the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS ($599.99 vs $775.99). On Sustained Runtime, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads (8.0 vs 4.0/10) — how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. On Handling & Ergonomics, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads (9.0 vs 6.0/10) — weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. On Suction Power, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads (9.5 vs 7.5/10) — actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. Overall, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS scores 8.3/10 across our 8 scoring categories versus 7.6/10 for the Dyson V15 Detect Plus. Below, we break down the full spec sheet, category-by-category scores, and exactly who should buy which one.
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS | Dyson V15 Detect Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $775.99 | $599.99 |
| Release Year | 2023 | 2021 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum with a bagless auto-empty charging tower | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld |
| Suction (as published) | 210 air watts maximum, per the Home Depot spec sheet. LG's own product page states no suction figure at all | 240 air watts. Dyson publishes air watts, the only one of the three common numbers that describes work done at the cleaning head |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 120✓ | 60 |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | Not published by the manufacturer | 9 |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | LG states the condition itself: 'up to 120 minutes' is two 60-minute batteries added together, in Normal mode, without a power nozzle attached. Fit the Dual Floor Max nozzle and the figure drops sharply; LG publishes no per-mode table | Dyson's 'up to 60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool. TechGearLab measured 64 min on low and 9 min on Boost with the Digital Motorbar head fitted. Dyson publishes no per-mode table. |
| Removable Battery | Yes — two quick-release batteries included, and the tower charges both simultaneously | Yes — tool-free click-in battery; one included |
| Spare Battery | Not published by the manufacturer | $99.99 for the genuine Dyson click-in pack (shared with V11, Outsize and V15s Submarine) |
| Dock / Wall Mount | All-in-One Tower included: free-standing, charges both batteries, stores tools and auto-empties the bin | Wall-mounted docking station included; it must be screwed into a wall. No free-standing dock and no auto-empty base exists for this model |
| Filtration | 5-step filtration with a HEPA element, LG claims 99.99% of dust; the tower adds a 3-stage filter claimed at 99.9%. LG publishes no whole-machine seal certification | Whole-machine sealed filtration with a washable lifetime filter. Dyson's 99.99%-at-0.3-micron claim is stated for Boost mode |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | Kompressor compresses the contents — LG claims 2.4x the capacity of a non-Kompressor bin. The tower is bagless | 0.77 L bin. Point-and-shoot ejection drives the shroud down through the bin, so your hand never goes near the dust |
| Weight (lbs) | 5.95✓ | 6.83 |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Cyclone and filters are removable and washable, so there is no scheduled filter purchase. The bagless tower means no consumable bags either | Filter is washable and has no replacement schedule — rinse monthly. Cleaner heads and brush bars are stocked as Dyson spares |
| Warranty | 12 months | 24 months |
| Colors | Iron Grey | Yellow/Nickel |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads clearly here, 9.5 against 7.5 — a 2.0-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. If that is what you are buying for, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads clearly here, 8.0 against 4.0 — a 4.0-point margin on how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads clearly here, 9.5 against 8.0 — a 1.5-point margin on whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. If that is what you are buying for, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS does not close the gap elsewhere.
Handling & Ergonomics
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads clearly here, 9.0 against 6.0 — a 3.0-point margin on weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus does not close the gap elsewhere.
Maintenance & Emptying
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads clearly here, 9.0 against 8.5 — a 0.5-point margin on bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus does not close the gap elsewhere.
Battery System
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads clearly here, 9.5 against 8.5 — a 1.0-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus does not close the gap elsewhere.
Versatility
The Dyson V15 Detect Plus leads clearly here, 8.0 against 7.5 — a 0.5-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS leads clearly here, 7.5 against 6.5 — a 1.0-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted. If that is what you are buying for, the Dyson V15 Detect Plus does not close the gap elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
LG CordZero All-in-One A937KGMS
Pros
- +The only machine here that ships with two batteries, and the tower charges both at once — a genuine 2x working session
- +The auto-empty tower is bagless, so unlike Samsung's Clean Station there is nothing to keep buying
- +5.95 lb is the lightest full-size stick vacuum on this page
- +Kompressor physically compacts the bin contents, so you empty it far less often than a 0.5 L rival
Cons
- −The 120-minute headline is two batteries combined, in Normal mode, with no power nozzle fitted — LG's own footnote says so
- −210 air watts sits well under Dyson's 240 and Samsung's 400, and LG only publishes it on retailer spec sheets, not its own page
- −Only 1 year of parts-and-labour cover; the 10-year figure covers the motor alone
- −LG's US stick line churns fast — the A927 and A929 siblings are already discontinued
Dyson V15 Detect Plus
Pros
- +240 air watts is a genuine cleaner-head figure, not a sealed-suction Pa number — only Samsung and Levoit publish anything comparable here
- +The laser head makes fine dust on hard floors visible, which changes how you clean rather than just how you feel about it
- +Whole-machine sealed filtration, so what the filter catches does not leak back out through the body
- +A genuine Dyson spare battery is $99.99 — less than half what Miele charges
Cons
- −You hold the trigger down for the entire clean; there is no latch. This is the single most common long-term Dyson complaint
- −Boost mode with the powered head lasts about 9 minutes — the '60 minutes' is Eco with a non-powered tool
- −The dock is a wall bracket that needs drilling; there is no stand in the box and no auto-empty option at any price
- −$600 street and $850 list for a 0.77 L bin you still empty by hand
