the gtech air ram

in case its not obvious lol, its a hoov...err i mean vacuum cleaner.

i already have a dyson, its good but a pain in the bum and probably on its last legs.
the idea of not having a cord looks a good idea. the cord is the worst bit usually.

I'm thinking of buying one too, Bob.

I would only want one of it was as good as my Dyson.

I like the way it compacts the dirt for easy emptying, rather than getting a faceful of dust and debris that you get when emptying the Dyson.

Looks neat and takes up less space, too.

I'm going to do a bit of research.

Brb.

I'm going off the idea already

"A unique Data Bridge allows you to talk to your AirRam's onboard computer via USB. From your PC you can calculate the electricity you have saved, check the condition of the battery and even see how many calories you have burnt whilst cleaning. Through the Data Bridge you can also find cleaning and usage information, get support from Gtech staff and leave feedback about your AirRam experience."

Buying one of these is out the question

From an amazon customer... "It has no tools, so edges and crannies remain dusty"

I couldn't possibly allow my crannies to be dusty

I have many crannies in my 200 year old cottage.

Nowt worse than a mucky cranny.

They can whiff a bit too

You need the right tools for certain spots

Shanelee, you're being a very naughty boy now.

Here are the Amazon reviews for you to read, Bob.

If I didn't want any attachments I'd buy one tomorrow.

not sure i can bothered to read em now. no attachments is a bit sh1t init.

have dyson got a cordless?

"no attachments is a bit sh1t init. "

I'm gutted, to be honest.

Was seriously thinking of getting one

Not sure if Dyson make one. They're sure to bring one out if they don't.

Real men don`t need attachments

Sorry

I bought a 'Samsung Motion Sync Vacuum' a few weeks ago, it has a cord but it's very easy to Manoeuvre, has  tools built in the handle, 2000W Motor, CycloneForce, very happy with it. (£129.99 from Hughes)

I cant see how a 22v battery operated machine is going to suck better than a 240v dyson.

imagine the jokes you get if youre called dyson. nobody sucks like a dyson

300 notes is a bit steep. i think i have the normal dc animal, though i dont have pets, think it cost about 220. 220 is plenty really, 300 is a bit ott.

You surely don't believe what the adverts say (or, rather DON'T say!)

So it gives you "Up to 45 minutes" of use. How long is 'up to 45 minutes' exactly? Forty minutes? Twenty? TEN?

And as for those tidy little compacted thingies that he dumps in the bin...he never says that they were produced whilst using the cleaner. He made them on a bench four days earlier, specially contructed to be a nice tidy fit!
Also, the compacted 'thingies' that he shows seem to be held together by cat hairs or dog hairs. How would they perform on a diet of dust only?

I would guess it will be one of those useless artifacts that gets used for three days and then never seen again.


While I'm at it...I'm not too sure that any of these machines actually sucks. I think they dispel air (blow, if you like) and the 'sucking is simply air from the surrounding atmosphere filling the lower pressure space thus created.
But it certainly wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. And it's highly unlikely to be the last!

been on the grog by any chance?

No. This advert is a bit like the shampoo one...'Up to 100% flake-free' (pardon the expression!).
What tolerance band does is covered by 'up to 100%? I'd say from nothing to everything. Meaningless mumbo-jumbo!

why do i have the feeling it will be utter crap if i buy it?

Bob, simply because everything you get involved with seems to be a tragedy!

People who fall for this sort of promotion, without doing some personal research, deserve to be taken in, imo.

Anyone know where I can get hold of a Hoover Junior?

nonsense, i never liked steps

and i never buy anything withour researching it.

for instance, i wouldnt buy the blu ray of the shining even though i want it because after a bit of research on the interwebz i found out that its 25 minutes shorter than the american release of the same movie. so if i buy it, i'll buy the american one. which is region free anyway so will work over here. research is key my good man.

i got 1 last week pretty good really

Nilfisk is best.
