My Thoughts
With four kids and two pets, my vacuum gets a work out almost every day of week. Two of my biggest messes are the constant shedding from my golden retriever and the multiple cups of cheerios my toddler spills all over our living room on a daily basis. At just under $350, the Gtech AirRam was an affordable option, but I wondered if it would really be able to handle everything my family could throw at it. I put aside my old vacuum for a few days and used the AirRam in its place and I was pretty impressed with the results.
Let's start off by talking about assembly. I always get nervous when things aren't put together for me. But the AirRam was fairly simple to assemble. The only thing that really needed to be done was attaching the handle and the battery, which took a few minutes at most. They just snap into place. No tools required. Once that was done, we were ready to start cleaning. One of the things I noticed about this vacuum right away is that it's extremely light weight. It's great for carting up and down the steps. The handle also bends all the way down to the floor, making it easy to slide the head under beds and chairs. It is a little too big to fit under my sofa but depending on how high it stands off the ground, some people would be able to squeeze it under there as well.
The really unique thing about this vacuum is that it's completely cordless. It runs on a rechargeable lithium battery. I honestly didn't realize how annoying a wire was until I didn't have one. With the AirRam, I could go around the whole house without once having to worry about switching outlets. Going up and down stairs is much easier, and for once, I don't have kids and pets tripping over the wire or stepping on it and preventing me from moving forward. It really is much easier to get done when you're wireless. The charge lasts for several hours, so I have had no issues with it running out of power before I got the job done.
As far as suction, this sucker is definitely powerful. I had no trouble picking up clumps of cat and dog hair, and those pesky cheerios came up easily as well. Because it works on both rugs and hard floors, I also found it worked great sweeping up the excess cat litter that got kicked out of the box. It picked up everything in its path from dried dirt tracked in from outside to bread crumbs the little ones dropped on the floor. My only problem was that because the vacuum doesn't come with any attachments, I couldn't get it in really tight corners and there are some areas the head just can't squeeze into even when I move the furniture. So while it's great for everyday cleaning, I still need to use my larger vacuum if I want to do any really intense vacuuming that requires attachments.
When you're finished vacuuming, there are no bags involved with this vacuum. All the dirt is gathered at the head of the vacuum. This was very easy to dump out, but there are some cons to it. The area holds a fair amount of dirt, but if you have a pet that sheds like mine does, you are going to have to empty it a few times before you finish the whole house. It can also get messy. Make sure you empty it over a trashcan or you'll have to vacuum again.
All in all, I was very happy with the performance of the AirRam. It makes vacuuming quick and easy. The lightweight unit is great for kids or older folks who might have trouble lugging a big heavy vacuum around. It offers a powerful suction, easy maneuvering, and long run time.

I like that it is great for pet hair removal.
No cord!!
love that it is cordless
the cordless feature is awesome but the cleaner emptying has me happy!
I really like that it's cordless. It seems lightweight too and I hate carrying my heavy vacuum up the stairs.
It would be nice to vacuum without having to stop, turn off the vacuum, unplug it, find different plug outlet 10-12 ft away, plug in new outlet, and continue. For each room I have to do that. It's very frustrating!
its so great that its cordless!
I love that the Gtech is cordless, lightweight, and can last up to 40 minutes between charges! It sounds like an ideal vacuum to me!
Would make a wonderful claening tool for my family
I think everyone agrees it being cordless is the coolest thing.
Love that you can connect it to a usb!
I love that it's so light! The cordless is great too :)
I love that it is lightweight and cordless! Definitely makes a difference when you don't have to lug around a 50 pound vacuum to every floor!
I love that this is high powered and lightweight
We own and live in a VERY VERY old and tall (brick vintage, Victorian) 3-flat that is 3 1/2 stories high. Vacuuming the very steep front and back stairwells and landings it literally a nightmare!
First, most vacuum cleaners and both heavy and not nearly powerful enough to handle carpeted stairs. Second, even using multiple, extra long, heavy duty extension cords, we still have to plugm unplug and replug numerous times to go from top to bottom and oven it is very inconvenient (to impossible!) to even find accessible electrical outlets!
Having a cordless, lightweight and yet powerful vacuum cleaner would be a true godsend!

The cordless feature on the Gtech AirRam is wonderful however the best feature for this pet-lover is the powerful rotating brush bars making it ideal for pet hair. AirRam not only picks up surface hair, but also does a great job of lifting troublesome embedded hair from your carpet.
I like AirRam’s Data Bridge that allows you to talk to your vacuum cleaner
I love that it's cordless!

I'd frankly never heard of AirRam before this post, but after looking around their website, I may actually take advantage of their 30 day trial offer (free shipping both ways if you don't like it!!) -- well, if I don't win one first anyway... Thanks!
I simply love that it is cordless.
I love how light weight it is! It would make it much easier for carrying up and down the stairs and around the house!

I love that it's cordless - I always seem to need to vacuum just a little further away than the cord will let me

I like the fact that this vacuum is cordless and yet has a significant suck power.
Thanks for your great review. I could use this much easier than my big bulky upright.
This is very light weight and cordless. No more getting extension cords and taking extra vitamins to lug around something heavy.
I like that it's lightweight and also cordless, yet has the power to clean up after my pets!
I love that it is cordless
I love that it is cordless, much easier to get into some of our large rooms where cords don't always reach all the way
Cleaner Emptying
Traditional vacuum cleaners suck the dirt either into a bag or cylinder. AirRam’s technology compresses the
dirt into bales that you just drop into the wastebasket.
This sounds awesome!
It's cordless!!! YES!
I like the cordless aspect. And, it looks like it can get under my couch good.
My fave feature is that it's cordless! I hate when the cord is short and comes out of the plug in because it's caught on something.
Cordless is the best feature I think!
Independent tests show AirRam delivers up to 3 times the cleaning power of other cordless vacuums but it also matches the performance of electrical, upright vacuums. It runs on a 22v rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
I like that it's cordless
I like that its cordLESS with the power of a corded vacuum cleaner! There is are a variety of cordless already on the market, but I can tell you from experience.... they severely lack suction power!
I also like the idea that its lightweight... having bursitis has limited my ability to clean as well as I'd like to... its impossible for me to lug around all of those heavy cleaning supplies! ---- I can only think of ONE thing that would make this even better --- AUTOMATIC!
i like that its cordless
I like the Powerful rotating brush bars also make it ideal for pet hair. AirRam not only picks up surface hair, but also does a great job of lifting troublesome embedded hair from your carpet.
I love that its lightweight, cordless and can connect to a usb!
I love that it runs up to 40min on a charge.
I love that the AirRam is fitted with lifetime washable filters
Cordless and not heavy are two biggies for me!
Well I most certainly love the cordless feature. Im really excited. Thanks so much for the chances to win.
