Gtech AirRam AR50 1-03-270, White/Black, 60 W, 0.7 Litres

2 year update: battery wont hold charge, replacement battery is hundreds of dollars and not worth it. Only lasted 2 years. I would not recommend this model due to battery issues. I previously had the older model air ram and i loved it. It was a work horse. I specifically like air rams because the weight of the machine is at floor level. Very easy to maneuver. Most of the cordless stick vacs are so top heavy which is tiresome and awkward to use not to mention they wont stand up on their own. The new model (white one) air ram design is fabulous. Lower clearance for getting under furniture , corner spinning brushes (like a roomba) to get the little crevices the main roller brush cant reach, and a really cool compression feature. Every time you finish vacuuming it makes a loud noise (normal) which is the machine compressing the dirt bin. Small dust bin but holds a ton because it works like a trash compactor. Its also considerably less $$ than the dyson stick vacs. If you want a reliable, lightweight stick vac that is not top heavy this is a stellar choice. It does not have attachments but i dont mind that. I just use my big corded vacuum with all the attachments when i need them

Bought for my Mum. She loves it as she’s 78 with health issues and it’s very lightweight and she can easily manage it . She had an earlier version of this . This new model seems to pick up much better than the first version . It’s not for me as I like my Dyson , but it’s perfect for Mum to run around the house and place back on charge base . The older one had to have the battery removed to recharge , but this one just sits on the base without having to remove the battery . She likes it and is definitely a great option for older people

Initially in love with this vacuum. Great cleaning power and battery life. That ended when the right side brush broke after a few months. Been a real struggle finding product support. Mfg site isn't launched. Can't find replacement parts or warranty information. Ugh.

Great little vac cleaner,it’s light easy to use and performs well

This vacuum is definitely something to hype about. I have gone through, WAY too many vacuums. WAY too many. It’s made me feel like a vacuum critic. We’ve had two sharks, two Dyson’s, a WYZE, some other cheaper vacuums, and some thing my wife got off a TicTock special……. They all do fine, but one of the problems that no battery vacuum manufacturer has seemed to figure out yet is gravity. When the motor head is at the top and the vacuum shuts off, debris inevitably falls down the stick to the floor. Seems like a mundane issue, but seriously, why was this so hard to figure out? These guys have figured it out. The entire motor, electronics, filter and catch tray are all in the head. It’s all tight, super easy to use and maneuver, and has incredible “suction”. I mean, it has suction, but just think of the engineering here, it only has to propel the debris an inch into a catch tray, so “suction” is really just to keep and trap the dust in the hopper, which it does so well! So it’s so much more efficient than every other sweeper I’ve used. Charges faster, battery lasts longer, we’re able to go through the house quicker, and the little spinning brushes clean under the cabinets so well. They “throw” the debris in the path of the vacuum, so it catches you off guard at first, but it works well. Did I mention the battery is actually easily changeable too? Honestly…. It looks VERY similar to a Dewalt 20v battery. Almost exact. I’ve been meaning to hook up a multimeter to verify all the voltages are the same before I try one, but I haven’t yet. Please don’t try it and fry the vacuum if you don’t know what you’re doing. The whole vacuum feels VERY sturdy. I have twin 4 year olds and other children and everyone uses it because the adjustable handle can go low enough for a child to easily use it. They all love it, and it still looks brand new! That’s almost a miracle in itself! It makes this loud sound sometimes, but don’t be alarmed, lol, it’s just its “cleaning” cycle. We had to look it up in the manual. Seriously, these people thought of everything. I’m hooked, and we love it. If you’re in the market for a $300 or more sweeper, this is the one. I like it way better than the Dyson battery vacuum I paid A LOT more for.
