It's easy to see where design and planning fall short wh
That LG Kompressor Pet Care is a perfect example. The suction is great. The power nozzle is the most aggressive I think I've ever used! The nozzle is so quiet you can barely hear its motor hear through the noise of the brushes beating the carpet. It even has a lifetime serpentine belt made by Gates, same company that makes automotive fan belts.
I was disappointed in the tools. They almost would have been better off supplying the machine with aftermarket fit all accessories and a Wessel Werk floor brush. It was almost a contradiction to have a power nozzle built so well compared to the rest of what the machine has to offer.
By and large I think this is why we identify alot of the "big box retailer brands" as inferior. It's almost as though above the floor tools are an afterthought, as if the manufacturers assume we don't use them that much to make it matter and that we'll be back soon to buy another machine. I grew up using vintage Kenmore, Eureka, Hoover and Electrolux tools. Up until the time I sold my Luxes, I even went to a vac shop to buy vintage dusting brushes. No telling how old they were and they were still good to go!
I don't see a lot of longevity factors in these machines unless they're well cared for.
