Gtech AirRAM MK2 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Powered Brush Head - Perfect for Carpet and Hardwood Floors - Rechargeable 22v Li-ion Battery - Lightweight (7 lbs.)

Far superior to all other cordless vacuums I have purchased! The other brands only last about 2 years at best or as little as 6 months which is after the return window. The Air Ram has strong suction, easy bin empty and you can easily clean the filter, and it is light weight. Two things to mention 1) the head is a little too high to fit under my couch - so I dust mop that space first 2) be aware of the strong suction when using it on an area rug - I move in one direction, then lift the device placing in on the rug—not the edge - before vacuuming back in the other direction ;) This still does not deter me from providing a 5 star review! If you don’t want to have to replace your vacuum every year or two, GET THE AIR RAM!

I purchased this because i mostly have laminate flooring and 1 medium-sized area rug. It's awesome! I tried two other vacs/sweepers before finding this holy-grail sweeper-vac. It picks up ALL the dust and bits that i passed the vacuum over, occasionally needing to "re-do" (go over again, back/forth) a bit of debris. Left and right edging is excellent, as well as front-on being excellent (this failed when testing 2 other vacs ...that i returned). It's not excessively loud (no pets scared), and I can do the whole 1500 sq ft house easily on one charge (with at least half the charge remaining for another sweeping day). When vacuuming a short-pile area rug, you'll notice when pulling back on the vacuum, that it hunkers-down to create a stronger suction. [Note: when vacuuming/sweeping HARD FLOOR surfaces, you'll notice slight resistance when initiating the pulling back action but this lessens after a few days' usage. It also trains you to vacuum in a forward motion, apposed to traditionally going forward/backward repeatedly to direct the vacuumto a new section. It also has the delightful feature of being "wrist-controlled" into the desired direction ...unlike traditional vacuuming that requires a heavy arm/hand to change direction for vacuuming under low furniture, for example. Re charging, I choose to run my vacuum until all the power is depleted then plugging it in for a 4 hour charge. Meaning, I don't leave the appliance continually plugged in, as I believe this considerably shortens a/the battery life. [I do the same for hand vacs.] AND if this vacuum battery someday dies, you can purchase a compatible replacement battery! (I like this vacuum so much that I'm considering purchasing a replacement battery before I need it... in case they're not available in several years.) The price is right for this sweeper/vacuum at approximately $226

This unit takes the fear and anxiety out of the vacuuming chore with its lightweight and ease of maneuverability. A wonderful Unit, and so much so that I have purchased them for two other addresses. Battery life and rechargeability seem excellent, the headlights make it easy to see what you are picking up, and it is such a pleasure to not have to wrestle with long electrical cords. I am so glad that the Gtech company picked up the manufacture where Bissell Co. left off. Both companies produced a fine machine. 👍👍

Tested specification Air flow: 26 CFM not incredible by cordless vacuum standards but it's about on average more than enough given the primary action this machine relies on is a good brush roll for beating the carpet. Agitation: as mentioned above the brush bar and powerful motor make quick work of beating the dirt out of the carpet it's very effective at brushing pet hair and other surface debris off carpet, I would still recommend a corded vacuum as your primary machine for your home however this will make a pretty good quick clean up machine for getting your house presentable for company. Noise level: it's not loud at about 5 and 1/2 ft from the unit the typical distance from the user's head while using it I measured 67 decibels You could easily have a conversation over it. Dustbin: it's a good size of dust cup/bin but has a quirk You have to hold it with the opening that the dirt enters the cup facing upward any other orientation will cause the dirt to fall back out of the container you'll get the hang of it the first time you tried to empty it it's not that big a deal. Replacement parts and serviceability: if you're not afraid of tinkering you could totally keep this thing going for years GTech offers almost every replacement part you would need to keep it running as time goes on and the parts aren't terribly priced either replacement filters and scent pods if you want to install one to make the air smell better can be bought on Amazon or other retailers for about 12 to $15. Runtime: The runtime varies depending on the flooring that you're using the machine on in my tests hard floor got me about 43 minutes of continuous run time and on carpets the runtime is reduced to just 35 minutes I found that was enough to vacuum my 1,200 ft² house two times being relatively thorough before the battery gave up I have medium pile carpet. Filtration: it's not the best if you have allergies you'll definitely be wanting to empty the container outside while the filtration isn't the best I've ever seen certainly not HEPA level it definitely doesn't spew dust into the air either. Clean up score done by measuring out 100 g of sand pouring it into medium pile carpet and then passing the machine forward and backward over the carpet at a constant pace for two passes the GTech air ram MK2 scored a 94% in this test which as far as cordless machines go is almost unheard of The only other machine to reach higher than that in percentage was the Dyson outsize and that machine is quite a bit more expensive. Overall thoughts: if you're looking for a vacuum that's relatively lightweight on the wrist easy to maneuver has relatively good runtime compared to other cordless machines and is relatively well specked for the price you really can't beat this machine especially over the American model the Bissell Air ram this machine particularly the MK2 is a much better deal given that it's basically what the Bissell air ram is based off of. As far as vacuums I've tested this one gets an 8 out of 10 it could have done with a bit more functionality as far as above floor cleaning but if all you're going for is cleaning your floors and getting rid of loose pet hair this will do the job just fine.

Great vacuum!! I waited awhile before writing a review so that I was able to use this vacuum several times and clean the filter before writing a review. Vacuum exceeded my expectations! I was skeptical because it doesn’t have a detachable hose to get hard to reach areas like corners & baseboards. BUT this vacuum has so much suction power there is no need for the detachable hose part. Is fantastic on bare floor surfaces & great on carpet & area rugs. I have approximately 1200 sq feet of area I vacuum and the battery lasts for entire vacuuming of this area & still 1/2-1/4 battery life left, depending on amount of dirt picked up. If it is working harder it uses more battery life. Fast charging when battery does run out. . Also it is easy to empty dirt trap. The vacuum comes needing to assemble but super easy to put together. Very light weight and easy to maneuver. The pick up of dirt & dust far exceeds my previous vacuum which was the Shark upright for pets. I’m so glad I purchased this vacuum!!

This is my third Gtech AirRam, I have 2 “ house horses” that shed like crazy, like the old newspaper cartoon where the car sneezes and there is nothing but a cloud of fluff”, they walk across the floor and you can see the hair fall off. I bust my Gtech out at least 3 times a day and cover 3,500 square feet of hardwood, carpet and area rugs and my Gtech keeps on keeping on. As long as they continue to make the Gtech, I will be buying them, I don’t even bother with the other “big names”, Gtech does and has more power and a longer lasting battery than the others, I had ordered a bissell a while back but immediately called and cancelled that order as the battery life was only 20-25 minutes, with the Gtech, I can do all 3500 sq ft and still have battery life left. As far as I,m concerned, Gtech is and will be the only vacuum that I will ever own,

I have an older model of this vac that I have had for probably 10 years, I love it ! The battery lasts great, good suction for a cordless and great for quick clean ups, the only thing missing is the lights that this "new and improved" model has and I really have come to like the lights on my other full sized so I figured Gtech is the way to go for a new cordless with lights. Only to be disappointed, first off the lights are not bright at all, more of a yellow hue and dont really show the floor unless you use it in the dark I guess. Second, the suction is not near the same as my old one, as soon as I turn it on it even just sounds weak, the batteries read full, but I let it charge anyways, and still same weak sound compared to their older model. What happened Gtech, used to brag about your products, now I wont, newer is not always better. So, Im glad I bought this on Prime day and didnt pay full price

Love that this model can transition from carpet to flooring and function well on both. It has remained durable for six months and has great suction on carpet. My husband tore a rubber piece off the bottom while trying to vacuum paper shreds but whatever that did it hasn’t seemed to impact functioning. This is a bit wider (more like a full size vac) that doesn’t fit well in small spaces (beside the toilet and under cabinets) but I would choose this again over smaller models that only work for three months.

Depuis environs 10 années nous utilisions le premier Air Ram modèle sans le moindre problème déjà très satisfaisant, particulièrement efficace quand il fallait aspirer les poîles de notre Labrador. Seule faiblesse, pas très satisfaisant pour ramasser des choses plus gros que la poussière. Le Mk 2 s'avère encore mieux! Durée de travail entre charges 4 heures, moins bruyant et beaucoup plus efficace. Les objets taille petit pois sans problème. Fourrure d'animaux disparaît encore plus vite, moins bruyant, aspire sans réglage aussi bien moquette et parquet. Gros amélioration pour le facilité et contenu des matières aspiré et du filtre. Il est difficile de trouver de quoi critiquer.

Great lightweight powerful cleaner. This is the second time I’ve bought this cleaner, same model, why, due to I’ll health we needed a lightweight cleaner that did the job powerful, easy to use and empty almost pulls itself around the home, it does them all, love it. Would recommend

sehr zufrieden

This is the best vacuum I’ve ever had in my 61 years it’s light and never fails to pick up it’s unbelievable I love it so much . I’ve got one in all my 2 holiday homes and now in my villa in Dubai.

My 2nd GTech - previous one I had for 10ish years. Only disappointment was it came with an American plug!!!! Buying on Amazon.es I expected it to have a European Plug! Not too much to ask for.
