G Tech Air Ram and Cordless

[Notshortnottall]

Would love to know a but more about these from anyone who has taken the plunge.

They seem brilliant and the write-ups pretty good but concerned that it could be a bit 'mail order TV' quality.

Any feedback or useful considerations?

On ours I've had to repair the switch twice and fix the handle.
Power is good though on both the handheld and the upright.

Through warranty or just take on the chin?

We looked at these (a friend has one) and tested it against a Dyson v7 MotorHead and the Dyson won hands down and was easier to handle - so we bought this Dyson model and a small MotorHead attachment - not looked back since

Our hand held gave up the ghost after 18 months and it was only used sparingly, the upright is still going strong and I do like it but it does not sound healthy.
We replaced the hand held with a Dyson model which is far superior.

Parents have them and unlike them, although have not used the handheld much.

Customer service very good. Had a part fail out of warranty and called them up and new part sent out FOC in a couple if days.

Upright is very effective, albeit not as powerful as decent corded hoover.

Not through warranty.

I really like them but I'd say they work most efficiently if you are a regular cleaner rather than once in a blue moon Hoover when it looks dirty kind of person.

I'm fed up with seeing vacuum cleaner adverts, every time someone pays £200+ for a motor in a tube it just pays for more of them, they'd be making an absolute killing if they didn't have to spend so much money reinforcing the facade that we should be paying a substantial amount of money for something that collects dirt.
Gtech is nothing but a marketing company

So for anyone interested I took the plunge and bought a Dyson V10 Absolute. It's very expensive but I have to say I've never enjoyed vacuuming so much and the Mrs is now much happier as a result!

Seems to be a thoroughly good bit of kit. So far, would happily recommend!

Not just a tube but a very low cost clip together plastic tube.

Never thought I would say it, but I like using the V10 hoover, can whiz around the house, without a heavy weight attached to the end of a plug. perfect for cleaning out the car too.

Surely it’s exactly the type of thing that can be knocked out of China for buttons. Why are there more competitors? They’re all pretty st quality plastics. I accept the motors in dyson are decent quality. But I’d rather have conventional motor and 5 times cheaper.

Four hundred and fifty quid for a hoover. Jesus fking christ on a bike. I will never complain about plugging my 20 year old Sebo in again.
