Battery, runtime and charging

The AirRAM 2 runs on a removable 22V lithium-ion battery rated for up to 40 minutes on a single charge, with a full recharge taking around 4 hours. The battery can be charged off the machine, and there's only one power setting — no need to switch modes between carpet and hard floor.

Filtration and bin capacity

The 0.8L bagless dust bin empties via a slide mechanism. The machine uses a washable filter rather than a HEPA filter, which is worth noting if filtration for allergies is a priority for you. Gtech does not publish suction wattage, sealed suction (kPa), airflow, or noise-level figures for the AirRAM range — its design is built around a motorised brush bar rather than marketed suction power, so these figures simply aren't available for comparison.

Design and what's included

At 3.2kg, the AirRAM 2 is a light upright with a low-profile handle designed for reaching under furniture. Features include LED headlights, an edge-cleaning brush bar with Gtech's AirLOC design (intended to pick up larger debris and lift embedded dust), and dynamic steering. The box includes the battery and charger, a hair removal tool, upper and lower handle assemblies, and a filter.

Warranty and guarantee

Gtech backs the AirRAM 2 with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee and a separate 30-day money-back guarantee, as stated on its official product page.

Is the Gtech AirRAM 2 right for you?

On the published specs, the AirRAM 2 suits light, regular cleaning of carpets and hard floors in smaller homes or flats, where its low weight and 40-minute runtime are less of a limitation. Gtech's own product page lists an average customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 from over 30,000 reviews. The trade-offs are a small 0.8L bin that needs frequent emptying, no HEPA filtration, and no published suction or noise figures to compare against other models. If you need HEPA filtration, a larger bin, or want to compare suction specs directly, browse other Gtech vacuum cleaners or other upright vacuums to find a closer match.
