I bought LG CordZero A9(A950) wireless stick vacuum and I have used it for long.
And now I can say pros and cons of LG CordZero A9 against a wire vacuum and its own.
First, the pros of LG CordZero A9.
As you expect, it is very convenience to bring where you want to clean at. Because it is cordless. And it has two battery packs, you use the vacuum quite long. This stick vacuum has 3 mode by suction power: normal mode, power mode and turbo mode.
With two battery packs, its normal mode working time can be 60 mins, its power mode working time can be 18 mins and its turbo mode working time can be 12 mins.

I think its working time is long enough on normal mode. And the sweeping roller which is attached to its basic cleaning stick head helps a lot to clean up dust and dirt on the floor, even though its normal(?) suction power on the normal mode. The roller is spinning by the separated head motor during the stick is working.
If you buy LG CordZero A9, it includes self-standing charging dock that its competition does not provide but LG CordZero A9 does. And it can be used as wall-mounting mode and compact mode. I use self-standing mode and it is pretty reliable and the bottom of the stand is heavy enough to keep the balance.

And about filter parts and a dust separator. It has two filter parts. Under the top lid where the air outputs, there is a HEPA filter to catch the particle matters and the filter is replaceable. And below the HEPA filter, there is a micro filter and under the micro filter, there is a cyclone filter(cyclone type dust separator). And the micro filter and the cyclone filter can be washable with tap water. With water you remove small dust on the filter easily. And they recommend that after washing the micro filter, it is dried for at least 24 hours. But they give two micro filters.

Now here’s Cons of LG CordZero A9.
First, weaker suction power than a wire vacuum. A wire vacuum I have is much stronger than the LG CordZero A9. The wire vacuum is bought about 4 years ago and it also has cyclone type dust separator. However the cleaning capability can be similar as the LG CordZero A9 has a brush roller I think.
They say hassle-free dust bin maintenance. I hardly agree with it because there are hassles. When you open the dust bin, the location of open button is not good to handle. every time I open the lid of the dust bin, I find where the button is and my hand gets dirty from the floating dust.
And the cyclone filter inside of the dust bin works well but long hair is wound up the filter like a reel and it seems to disrupt and reduce its function.
Actually although it is easy to clean with LG CordZero A9, it is not easy to clean its own dust bin.
