G Tech Air Ram

[jakep]

I am thinking of buying this with the smaller Multi as well.
Does anyone have it/them?
Would you recommend? What are the pros and cons?
Thank you

It's amazing and very light. Brilliant if you have pets... I don't have the handheld one though.

I think Boaty has one, doesn't he? Ask him in the morning.

Wife has one of these ( original version) - now wants one of the newer type as well !! (We don't have the smaller one though)

I've had the Air Ram for about 2 years. Love it's portability.
Boaty has both if I'm not mistaken.

My neighbour has one bit says they fill up incredibly quickly

[pastafreak]

They do fill up quickly as the container is smaller than a bag...and also because they pick up so much more dirt than ordinary vacs.

I bought a Dirt Devil compact recently. It it too powerful! It lifts the rugs. I have to open the air nozzle fully and put my foot on the rug to stop it being sucked into the vacuum!

Before parting with your cash, you may find this (from Which?) useful...

(Tho only cordless vacs they recommend are by Dyson and Bosch....the G Techs are "average").

I have a Gtech Multi. It's okish. Manages to pich stuff up; but less powerful that I'd assumed it would be. But there again I had little experience of hand held cordless vacuums and suspect I'd expected too much of the hyped up hi tech wonder vac. I'd classify it as adequate but expensive for what it is.

PICK

I have one (not the hand held one though). It pick up great and is light and portable which is good for me as Im disabled.

It does fill up quickly and is quite noisy but I like it

I like the air ram. Have got the old model and its pretty good for wizz rounds and very light. It does fill up quickly and is messy to empty but the new one with the slidey thing seems to have got around that. I have the multi too and honestly I wish I’d never bothered with it

[jakep]

Thank you all for the replies. Some very helpful comments.

[waterboatman]

I have them. Excellent. Lightweight, powerful, easy to empty. The hand held makes short work of dusting and is ideal for the car too. I can't recommend them highly enough. Good value for money.

[jakep]

Thank you waterboatman

[waterboatman]

You're welcome. I wouldn't be without it now. I have the Mk2, which is simplicity itself to empty. I can lift it on my little finger, and, it steers round corners.

I've had the original one for years and would recommend them to anyone. Lightweight and easy to use. I have just upgraded to the mk 2 with the handheld one and that's even better. Best thing I've ever bought!
