Verdict

The Gtech AirRAM 2 K9 is a cordless upright bagless vacuum cleaner powered by a 22V lithium-ion battery that delivers a 40-minute runtime from a 4-hour charge. Weighing just 3.3kg, it features patented AirLOC technology to pull in large debris on forward strokes and embedded pet hair on the backstroke, a 0.8-litre easy-empty bin, full-width LED headlights, reinforced aluminium components for added durability, and replaceable scented cartridges to neutralise pet odours. Main advantages include its exceptionally lightweight profile, effortless steerable manoeuvrability across carpets and hard floors, and highly effective pet hair removal. However, it lacks a conversion option or hose attachments for handheld use, making it difficult to clean stairs, tight crevices, or upholstery.
