Thinking of purchasing a G Tech vacuum as I believe they are quite good and light to run around with. Anyone got anything to say about them please before I buy. Thank you.

I have one. It's great.

I have other rechargeable battery operated Gtech tools as well: hedge trimmer and lawn-mower. They're all great.

My Mother in law got one when her old hoover became too heavy for her. I think you have to buy the stair accessories separately? but she found it fine (she has no pets though)

We have a GTech K9 very pleased with it, does a thorough vacuuming, lightweight, no messy hairs tangled up. We had to sell a virtually new Dyson Ball as too heavy to use. Can recommend.

I love mine. Light and easy to use. I changed to the newer version as the filter etc is easier to get at and it came as a deal with the hand-held one.

I used the upright one on the stairs before the I had the hand-held one - just ran it sideways across each step.

I've had an air ram for 4 years, no problems,just bought the Pro 2 with £50 discount,it comes with accessories and extra bags. It seems ok ,I can now discard my heavy dyson.

Love mine, it came in a "bundle" with the hand-held, light and easy to use and really efficient.

Yes, great purchase. So light and so easy to manoeuver.

I use mine as an extra, I have a Miele cylinder, I wouldn’t rely on the G Tech for deep cleaning.

I've had G-techs for several years now and love them! I buy the upright type and not the stick type. I tried the stick one and found it difficult to manoeuvre as I have weak wrists and dodgy thumbs! Too top heavy for me! They allowed me to send it back no problem, even though I'd used it. I replaced it with the K9 which was much better. They are really light and can be carried upstairs easily. The customer service is always excellent The only downside is you need another cleaner for edges, stairs, upholstery etc. I just keep my old Henry in the garage and dig him out now and again so I can use his long hose. grin

I have a GTech and Dyson.

GTech beats Dyson hands down.

Love my G-Tech. We’ve had it a couple years and we got a free hand-held cleaner with it. I have a really bad shoulder but have no problem using the upright as it’s lightweight.

Saw an ad for a well known brand recently which 'even finds the micro invisible dust the eye cannot see'. Well.....that's obviously the kind I've always had and I just didn't realise it. Hallelujah!

I’ve just bought a GTech AirRAM k9 and multi K9. Was a bit concerned that the air ram seemed a bit plasticky but people on here have assured me that won’t be a problem. I was fed up of having to plug vacuums in to do the stairs, the car etc. Really pleased with it so far. Used a discount code VT69 to get both. I’ve wanted one for years!

I have the GTech AirRAM K9 (even though we don't have any pets), It has scented capsules that smells really nice (you don't have to use them) I use it on the stairs just by running it across each stair. It is really light yet powerful. I hardly ever use my trtaditional vacumn cleaner. My DIL had a cordless Dyson, but bought a GTech after using mine.

Ditto!

Hi all, got the cordless vacuum cleaner, then bought small hand held one. THEN bought the cordless mower… must stop!
So easy to use although emptying sometimes a bit of a problem.

MaizieD Mon 02-Aug-21 14:43:17

Very pleased with my Gtech. I've had it for getting on for 3 years now. Much easier than the Dyson I threw out! Sadly, the hand held was dropped from a height and irreparably broken, but I have a small Vax which does the same job (though the fact it has a cord is a nuisance)

Berylsgranny Mon 02-Aug-21 15:34:08

Oh thank you all so much for your positive comments, it sounds as if I should just go ahead and purchase one. Excited or what! wink

Why is it that cleaners are so difficult to empty? My husband managed to empty his hand held Dyson all over the floor yesterday, but my Shark is not much better.

MayBee70 Mon 02-Aug-21 15:44:12

I haven’t got as far as emptying my GTech yet! One thing I did learn quickly was to remove the battery before changing attachments though as it switches on very easily.

Hellogirl1 Mon 02-Aug-21 15:46:22

I love mine, I bought it along with the multi, which is great. I had a problem with my first Gtech when it needed a new motor, was too stingy to buy one so bought a new Shark instead, and HATED it! Have since sold it and bought another Gtech, so glad I did.

Hellogirl1 Mon 02-Aug-21 15:49:41

Meant to add, I don`t have any problems emptying mine.

Have you ordered one yet, Berylsgranny?

I thought I'd posted on here but obviously didn't
Just to say that DD has just bought a Shark and so far is pleased (another former Dyson owner!).

Oh, just saw that.
I will await an update from DD smile
