This day I love.......

We recently reviewed the Gtech AirRam K9 and we still absolutely love using it.  However it did present with a few problems, the first was cleaning the stairs, the second was edges and the final was cleaning the car.  This however can be solved with the Gtech Multi.

Gtech Multi

The Gtech Multi is a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner.  I have used cordless handheld cleaners in the past but nothing as powerful as this.  It takes 4 hours for a full charge, or you can do a quick 1 hour boost, and a charge lasts 20 - 30 minutes.  There are power light indicators on the handle to let you know how much charge there is left.  At 38 weeks pregnant my nesting instincts have been wanting to clean the car for ages and thanks to the Gtech Multi I easily cleaned the whole car!

Power indicators Gtech Multi

With 2 dogs we obviously need a cleaner that is able to pick up dog hair, and the Gtech Multi handles this with ease.  I put minimal effort into cleaning the car but there were no dog hairs left behind.  The Gtech Multi comes with multiple attachments:
  • Crevice tool
  • Power Brush
  • Dusting brush
  • 36cm (14-inch) extension tube
  • Extendable hose
There is also the option to purchase a car accessory kit, which I have to say I am currently tempted to buy.

The handle on the Gtech Multi has a lovely moulded grip making it sit nicely in your hand and it is very lightweight so is easy to carry and use.  As it is light weight you can easily clean the ceilings [you know those times you spot that cobweb you thought you got a while ago] and also the Extendable hose means you can also dust the skirting boards without having to bend down [I am 5ft4 and could do this with ease].


Other than how easy it is to clean the car and the edges of the floors it makes really light work of cleaning the stairs.  I have to say it is worth every penny if just for cleaning the stairs.  At 38 weeks pregnant I managed to clean our stairs in 10 minutes and with ease.  I have displaced hips and so am in quite a bit of pain, plus with a very low bump I cannot pick things up or bend down easily.  Yet I was able to clean the stairs with ease and with no discomfort.  

As you would expect with a handheld cleaner the bin compartment is small, but I could manage all the stairs or the whole car without having to empty it.  The bin is easy to remove, and the filters are washable.  


The Gtech Multi really compliments the Gtech AirRam K9 and offers a complete cleaning solution.  It is certainly worth having both.  As a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner I am incredibly impressed at how easy to use the Gtech Multi really is and how powerful.  Anything which makes cleaning the car and the stairs easy and can pick up dog hair with ease is a winner!

With two young children and 2 dogs running around it can be said that keeping our floor clean can be very time consuming.  If I do not sweep or vacuum the floor daily the build up of hair is noticeable.  My eldest daughter eczema is also triggered by dust and this is one of the reasons we have laminate/wooden/tile floors in almost every room.

I am now 27weeks pregnant and have been advised not to run the vacuum around because it is too heavy.  I tore my abdominal muscles and have had problems with my pelvis so anything heavy can aggravate the problem and could lead to further complications.  This means our current vacuum cleaner is too heavy for me to lift.

Imagine my excitement when an email arrived from Gtech to ask if I would like to try the new Gtech AirRam K9 vacuum cleaner.  The Gtech AirRam K9 is lightweight and weighs just 3.8kg, this is the same as my daughter weighed at birth.  It is therefore lightweight enough for me to use and as it has a specially designed brush-bar to resist the build up of pet hair it is perfect for cleaning up after our two dogs


I was very excited when the Gtech AirRam K9 arrived, it was actually as light weight as expected.  I was not sure what to expect as I have never used a cordless vacuum before and I was in some ways expecting there to be lots of pieces to assemble, especially when I saw the size of the box.  I was however really surprised, you simply clip the handle in place, then insert the battery and that is it ready to go.  There was also have a charge in our Gtech AirRam K9 which was around 20 minutes.


The Gtech AirRam K9 uses around 100W of energy whereas an average upright cleaner uses 1360W and has around a 40minute run time on a single charge.  It also comes with a Limited 2 year guarantee.  On laminate/tiles/wooden floors it simply glides along and you really do not have to put any effort into using it at all.  With carpets there is slightly more resistance but it is still really easy to manoeuvre.  It can also be used almost complete flat, meaning it can get under the bed to clean there only limited by the height of the AirRam itself.

Never having used a cordless vacuum before I was a little sceptical at how well it would actually clean.  Given that we have two dogs there is a fair bit of dog hair to collect.  I was so surprised and even my husband said that the cleaning power of the Gtech AirRam K9 is far superior to that of our current vacuum cleaner.

There are a few things you do need to be aware of though with the Gtech AirRam K9.  The brush bar is only able to pick up dirt on the forward motion, so if you run the cleaner backwards it will drag the dirt towards you, however going over the same spot in a forward action will pick it up.  Not a problem but worth remembering.  We were unable to use the Gtech AirRam K9 to clean stairs or small spaces such as the car.  There is a solution for this and that is the Gtech Multi.  The Gtech Multi is a handheld cordless solution to cleaning hard to reach places such as the car and stairs.  

We live in a 4 bedroom detached house and a 40 minute charge is almost enough to clean the entire house.  We can certainly do all of the upstairs or all of the downstairs on one charge, but we need a little extra to do the full house.  There is a 1 hour boost charge which works to finish the rest of the house.  We tend to empty the dust tray after every other room, less upstairs because the dogs are not allowed upstairs.  There is a red warning light that comes on to say the tray is full.

Emptying the dust tray is really easy to do.  The dirt is compressed into bales so can be simply tipped out of the tray and into the bin.  We haven't had any issues with tangling of hair in the brush bar, but we do tend to try and stay on top of long hair by cutting it off the bar at the end of each use.  The Gtech AirRam K9 is incredibly impressive at lifting dog hair from carpet, even hair that has got wound into the carpet it seems to lift with no issue.


Overall we have been really impressed with the Gtech AirRam K9 cordless vacuum cleaner.  We are hoping to try the Gtech Multi next year and hope that this in addition to the Gtech AirRam K9 provides a complete cleaning solution.  The Gtech AirRam K9 is certainly a powerful cordless vacuum cleaner that if you have children and or pets will provide you with a great solution to keeping your floors clean and pet hair free.

We were sent a Gtech AirRam K9 for the purpose of review.  All words are my own opinion.
