After seven years of faithful service, my old vacuum cleaner finally gave up. I replaced it with the Gtech AirRAM 3 Plus, and it has surpassed my expectations. Normally retailing at £419.99, it is currently available for £269.99 on Gtech's website.
Assembly and Design
The AirRAM 3 Plus was incredibly easy to assemble, requiring only three pieces to slot together. While it feels slightly heavier than my previous model, the ergonomic handle with leather fabric provides a premium, comfortable grip, making manoeuvring effortless. The adjustable height prevents back strain and allows for compact storage.
Performance and Suction
Equipped with LED headlights, the vacuum reveals hidden dirt and dust. It runs on full power only, eliminating the need to switch settings between wood, tiles, and carpet. The dual-edge design ensures thorough cleaning along skirting boards. As a sewing enthusiast, I often deal with loose threads embedded in carpet; the anti-hair wrap brush bar with softer bristles directs threads to the storage area, preventing tangles.
Convenience Features
The bin empties easily via a slide opening without spilling contents. The sleek charging base keeps the vacuum always ready, avoiding mid-cleaning battery failures. The auto-cleaning system sanitises the filter after five minutes of use, announced by a voice assistant that also alerts for low battery or blockages. This smart feature is rare among competitors.
Overall Impression
The AirRAM 3 Plus has transformed cleaning from a chore into an enjoyable task. The only drawback is the lack of included handheld accessories, but these can be purchased separately. For anyone considering an upgrade, this vacuum is a worthwhile investment.
