Product review (1 stars): LG filter from Hell
After reading some of the great instructions and comments and telling me to look under the filter for buildup of lint, I found a long crevice tool- I've got about 6 vacuum cleaners of all sorts, including Dyson, Hoover (4), Oreck, Sanitaire, Dyson and Hoover bagless are my favorites, I took out the filter and inserted the long crevice tool. The vacuum (Hoover) almost stalled when it sucked up the wad of lint- enough to make a small pillow. After cleaning, the original filter fit perfectly. I want to thank all of you contributors, and also Amazon for having these forums; otherwise, I would have wrapped more bed sheets around this filter. LG ought to be ashamed for putting this product on the market and not owning up to the weakness! of this lousy design Obviously, the filter is not tight enough to keep lint from bypassing it. Lousy engineering. In other words, this filter assembly sucks! I will clean this out every month or so. Just wondering what the rest of the airway looks like beyond the filter which is not accessible nor visible. I give the filter setup a zero- don't even know why they bother with it and give Amazon and contributors five stars- Consumer Reports, you missed this!
