Gtech - AirRAM Platinum (AR46)

I really like the AirRams they are great for light cleaning floors. The weight is all down low for better balance. They’re quite effective. I don’t think the AirRam3 is better than the original or AirRam2. I think the little side spinning brushes get lots of hair wrap so I’d go for the AirRam2 or AirRam Platinum instead. A few notes they don’t have any tools, they don’t have a hepa filter but bagless vacuums aren’t good for allergies in general.

I have a GTech Air Ram, it sucks really hard and gets in close to the edges. Easy to move around and has a long battery life. Easy to empty etc. Not sure how much I paid but it wasn't a huge amount.

This is going to be an issue with basically every cordless stick style vac at or below $250, depending on the debris it's picking up etc. They aren't really meant to be your main vacuum or for heavy cleaning. I wouldn't recommend tineco really, many of their models need frequent filter cleaning. Same goes for shark etc and they are judt as likely to clog. If you're ok with not having attachments, the Gtech airram is under budget and works pretty well. Has an extremely short air pathway, debris only travels like 4 inches from the floor to the bin. The weight is also down on the floor and not on your wrist. The airram does need filter cleaning periodically but it's way less likely to clog up with coarse debris. It's not going to last forever but you can get a few years out of them. And again no attachments or handheld unit, but it's a decent pick under your budget. Some versions of the airram on amazon are well below $200.

I highly recommend GTech AirRam vacuum. No shaft for hay to get stuck in.

No, there isn't. Gtech Airram is "good enough" but again, that's not perfect.

Avoid.. I had Gtech and it’s not amazing… If you currently like your v8 but it’s falling to bits then you could get a new v8 or maybe upgrade to the v10/ v11 Gtech is lightweight, picks up.. some dirt and the battery life isn’t too bad I suppose however they aren’t very reliable, they can break easy or just not work when you go to turn it on one day, the brush rollers melt soooo easily too when they get all bunged up with hair in the end cap I found my gtech to seal itself to the floor and it also seemed to have left a few large scratches, it did also fling quite a lot of bits behind Its decent on carpets and rugs since basically it is pretty much just like a carpet sweeper
