Verdict

The Gtech AirRAM Platinum AR46 is a high-performance cordless upright vacuum featuring patented AirLoc technology and a powered brush bar designed for deep carpet cleaning and hard floors. It offers an impressive 60-minute runtime via its 22V lithium-ion battery and includes an integrated LED headlight and Forward Inertia drive for effortless movement. While it excels with its SpeedClean handle, anti-hair wrap brush roll, and Antimicrobial Triple Filtration, its primary drawbacks include a relatively small 0.8L dust capacity and the lack of an integrated hose or handheld mode for above-floor cleaning.
