Well what can I say? G-tech have invented what seams to be a direct air cordless vacuum. It looks very good and is even cordless! This must be a huge step forward for eco-cleaning! CLICK HERE TO GO TO jakesvacs's LINK | ||

It was "tested" in the Daily Mail, mentioning 4 hour run time (wrong!). I don't think it is a direct-air vac. It might work like the bin of the Electrolux Trilobite robot - a clean fan design, where the suction compacts the dust and fluff into "bales". | ||

Air Ram demonstration video Hello, I have just got a G Tech Air Ram and have uploaded an unboxing and demo video of it on my YouTube channel. I have to say I impressed with it, even though I have only cleaned my house once with it. Roger CLICK HERE TO GO TO sensotronic's LINK | ||

 I had heard about the Air Ram a while ago, and I was surprised to see it in a Brookstone magazine a few weeks ago. I had just walked by where my dad puts the mail at and saw it out of the corner of my eye. I was actually quite surprised, as Ii was really not expecting them to sell them in America-at least not under the G Tech name. | ||

The Air Ram is just the next logical step up from Gtech's long standing cordless sweeper. As told in previous threads, I adore the Gtech's basic design as a cordless sweeper and its a good and cheap alternative to taking out your main size vacuum. Gtech now have a lithium battery powered SW22 cordless sweeper, priced around £70 to £90.

I don't think its fair to judge a cordless vacuum with a brush roll on any shag or long tuft rug to be honest. Of course that is going to snag and cause the brush roll to slow down. I watched an excellent video online about this Air Ram at You Tube and its pretty impressive - it isn't an official video but just a home video (see link.)
The whole concept behind it is that it offers owners a very lightweight cordless concept, able to do carpets, hard floors and compacts the dust up in the square bales. It also has an extended run time. Gtech are the home company who produce their cordless carpet sweepers - Gtech probably gave license to Shark for selling the cordless types.

Gtech Air ram IMO Is not a very nice performer, I ttried it at comet :( and it spilt the dirt out!!! Go for Dyson, Cordless c lewaning, suction, excellent stair cleaning, car and above the floor cleaning, and can go into tight confined spaces | ||

Again though, one has to consider what buyers are prepared to do and to consider what they would need in terms of a vacuum in the home. The Dyson hand held is a good design WITH the tubes and floor head attached. I can't see the elderly lady who lives down from me using the Dyson though instead of the Air Ram - whilst the Dyson has good and versatile cleaning attachments that employ constant changing per cleaning need, for carpet care alone, the Air Ram looks like a neat design.
Comet et al are known for having demo machines that have been pretty abused. It doesn't surprise me in the least that the Air Ram at your store could well have spat out dirt - John Lewis stores are notorious for badly maintained demo vacs. | ||

 This video popped up on my Youtube Subscriptions this morning. Bissell now has the G-tech under their name in Australia.
