I bought both together about 18 months ago and I am still as impressed with them as I was on day one. The Multi (handheld) is so handy for picking up spilt sugar, crumbs etc. and, with the extension tube, to vacuum up cobwebs, clean down the sides of the sofas, get into awkward corners and so on. OK, it's not as powerful as the Air Ram, but it does the job and I wouldn't be without it now!

Don't speak to me about hand held vacs - my OH is in love with ours. Every time I open my mouth to speak to him one of his two (!) vacs starts buzzing away! He follows me round sucking up my mess. I have threatened to bin it!!!

I bought the 2 together a few weeks ago, love them. The Multi isn`t brilliant on it`s own, but with the power brush attached it`s well OK.

I bought a Gtech Air Ram cordless vacuum cleaner a few weeks ago (after thinking about it for a couple of years because of the price) and really like it. I haven't used my heavy vacuum cleaner since but there are places I can't clean without having attachments. Not that I'm a fussy cleaner, but I wondered what your experiences are with handheld vacuums? Are they useful? I maybe should have bought the Gtech multi handheld at the same time as the Air Ram as it was cheaper that way but didn't know whether it would be worth it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
