Gtech Mk2 AirRam Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

The Gtech Mk2 AirRam Vacuum Cleaner is an upright, cordless cleaning appliance which is suitable for carpets and hard flooring, moving between the two easily and without having to change the floor head. It's a highly manoeuvrable vacuum cleaner, with a lightweight 3.2kg build, and an ultra low profile handle that reclines backward and allows the underneath of furniture to be vacuumed with ease. It performs a thorough clean with its powerful rotating brush bar that picks up dust, debris and hair.

Gtech Mk2 AirRam is cordless, and uses a 22V lithium battery for power. A full battery provides about 40 minutes of run time. There's a handy LED display which indicates how much power is left. The Gtech Mk2 AirRam is designed with edge cleaning in mind, allowing for a fuller clean. We like the hygienic emptying mechanism which allows the contents of the dust tank to be disposed of without you making contact with any dirt. We look at a more detailed list of features later.

We now take a look at the features:

• Suitability - The Gtech Mk2 AirRam Vacuum Cleaner is suitable for hard floors (e.g. vinyl, laminate, hardwood, tile and marble) and short/long pile carpets.
• Cordless - The vacuum cleaner is cordless, which is perfect as there's no snagging or wires to deal with. It's powered by a lithium battery which gives around 40 minutes of continuous run time when fully charged. There's a 4 stage LED display to indicate the remaining power level.
• Light and Manoeuvrable - The vacuum cleaner weighs very little - only 3.2kg in fact. It's highly manoeuvrable due to the fact that it reclines backwards, and also because of its smooth operation.
• Brush Bar - The brush bar rotates in order to remove dust/debris/hair from carpets.
• Air Lock System - The vacuum cleaner traps fine particles of dust and allergens effectively.
• Dust Cannister - The dust cannister has an 800ml capacity. It can be emptied hygienically.
