I'm still reeling from the whole experience of buying this LG VC-5316NNDR vacuum for my parents. I thought I was doing them a solid, but in hindsight, I might've made a rookie mistake.

Here's the deal – this thing is a beast when it comes to seasonal allergies. I'm talking top-notch cleaning power that'll leave your place spotless in no time. But, and this is a big but, it gets pretty darn loud. I mean, you'll be able to hear it from a mile away, and it's not exactly the most pleasant sound either.

One thing that actually impresses me is how well it handles tight spaces and upholstery. The crevice tool is a game-changer, and I wish I'd had it earlier. We had to deal with a major renovation last year, and it would've been a lifesaver.

Now, I know what you're thinking – what about the dusting brush attachment? To be honest, it's still finding its footing, but it's not a total loss. It's just not as agile as the one on our magic mop, but it gets the job done.

Here's the thing – I'd say I'm pretty mixed on this vacuum. On the one hand, it's a solid performer, and I love how easy it is to use. The dustbin is a genius design, and the long power cord is a total win. But, the flimsy hose and loud noise level are major drawbacks.

So, would I recommend this vacuum? Honestly, I'm not sure. It's a solid option if you're not too fussy, but if you're looking for something a bit more high-end, you might want to look elsewhere.
