I’ve had this vacuum for a few weeks now and it is proving to be a superb purchase.
Plus points: excellent suction, lightweight, excellent battery life, ease of use, good choice of tools, spare filter included.
Negative points: the filter blocks quite quickly (you get a spare so you can wash one and use the other), it’s a bit ‘plasticky’.
Overall, better than most at less than half the cost.
I have 2 white cars who moult constantly, they have their own cushion. I just use this on their cushion and it lifts all the hair plus it is great for doing corners and skirting boards. Highly recommend it.
Very happy with this product, as with all GTech good quality and value
This does exactly what I wanted it to do, it’s really handy for the car, the stairs and any other places that a large vacuum doesn’t fit into. I’m very pleased with it and would highly recommend it.
I had the original Gtech handheld and didn’t rate it much. Then I bought a Shark and hated it (constantly overheated) so thought I would take a punt on this newer handheld. Well colour me impressed! The powered head is brilliant and the charge lasts for ages. Definitely recommend.

I have both gtech cleaners, I have brought
a cordless hover which is not very good on suction so I brought a Henry which is falling apart then I got the gtech and it is
amazing, it cleans in half the time.
what can you say about a g tech its a great handheld vacuum cleane

I already have the upright one which is wonderful and this excellent too .I love them .
This handheld hoover is amazing. I brought it to hoover dog hairs from my backseats but now also use it around the house. I highly recommend it.
I have a greyhound who sheds slots so as you can imagine my car seats are covered in hair. This takes seconds to hoover .
This machine is very versatile, especially the rotary brush attachment for upholstery and stairs. But the long nozzle is probably the most used because it has such a long reach. Battery life is excellent. We now have two, upstairs and down.
Good for cleaning carpet and simple to use on stairs. Quite heavy and a bit unbalanced but appears very robust and should last a very long time. Hard to locate charger socket on the cleaner.

What a tool this is. It comes with a number of attachments and I can honestly vacuum the stairs in a little over 5 minutes. I have two cats and fur does not seem to challenge this G Tech. We have the G Tech upright vacuum and the two combined have made life so much easier and quicker and a lot less work!
Having been delighted with the suction power of its big brother we missed being able to apply the same cleaning power to the stair carpet and the car insides. This did the trick. You soon find how quickly you have to empty the dirt and fluff. But…there is a knack to putting the container back!
The price was within my reach
Not comfortable to hold
Detaching the waste bin and emptying was not easy. Compartment tricky to remove. In the absence of the much quoted, ‘Empties with a slide’ feature actually had to use fingers to remove all the dust and fluff.
In spite of the over secure fastening some dust ended up between the cleaner and that waste container.
Was this a Gtech Defect?
Very easy to use, particularly when it comes to emptying and cleaning it. Feels good quality. Suction power is good but could be stronger still.
I bought the Gtech Ka9 upright vacuum last year and it is brilliant, however.it doesn’t get into the corners, skirting boards etc etc. This is quite expensive so when I saw this handheld was on a monthly payments plan like my other one was I ordered it straight away. It really is FANTASTIC and I would recommend it to anyone.
Wow…Gtech have really covered what’s important…an on/off proper switch….Battery charge indicator lights….an extension…. and runs for a long time between charges….. Well done Gtech the slightly heavy side well compensated for by great design elements. Thank you.
Light and easy to handle with very good suction, perfect for stairs and hard to reach places, plus cleans the interior of my car perfectly
It has very strong suction. Has collected vast amounts of cat fur from carpet that a competitors cordless couldn’t even get. It is suitable for the stairs which is why we bought it. It really is the best in my opinion.
Very useful to have a handy small vac cleaner it is ideal for stairs and minor spills etc
Very easy to use, extremely good suction, good accessories and easy to empty. Great for quick daily use, much easier than getting the vacuum out. Don’t know why I haven’t had one before!
Having bought the Air Ram a few months back and being over the moon with it (makes vacuuming a pleasure not a chore) I decided to buy the Gtech Multi Mk2.
The multi Mk2 is Air rams younger sibling. It is excellent for getting into tight spots, under and behind Furniture along carpet edges (skirting boards) and behind the TV, also good on upholstery. Suction is excellent.
Having contacted Gtech before purchasing from Amazon, I can confirm that the Extension Tube is now included in the Box and is part of the package. Overall an excellent buy and if looked after, should last ages.
Wouldn’t be without mine.
Great litter vac love it strong suction power great on carpet and stairs and lightwear very happy customer and would recommend to anyone.
Great handheld vacuum, best one I have had so far. Easy to recharge. Can feel a little heavy if using for a while (or perhaps I am just weak).
I find a a bit heavy and off balance to use, but I’m getting used to i
This is great…..suction good and easy to use to keep my sofas dust free. I live in a flat so haven’t used it on stairs. I bought it mainly for use on soft furnishings and it the car which it is ideal for.
It’s exactly what I needed to do the stairs it’s suction and lightweight makes it so easy to use. Well worth buying. Very happy
This lightweight vacuum cleaner is a brilliant product, it does what it says with exceptional efficiency . Extremely easy to dispose of dust, a dream to use as there are no electrical leads. Would recommend this product.
Very disappointed in this product. Bought it to compliment my GTEC air-ram (which I love). This hand held hoover is not fit for purpose. No good on stairs or in car.
Great on the stairs and edges around the rooms. It brushes the carpet well and lasts a fair amount of time before needing a recharge. Love it!
Very good quality, as you would expect at this price. This is built to last and comes with an impressive pack of fittings, spare filter and odorisers. My only criticism is that it is fairly heavy compared with the dyson equivalent, but that is a minor gripe. Battery life is good and the rotating head is particularly good for stairs and carpets. Good value and recommended.
We have used Gtech vacuum cleaners for a while but the stairs have been a problem, this vacuum cleaner is superb, suction, battery life and quality are all exactly what we’ve come to expect from this excellent brand. Even better after discovering there actually was a crevice tool, it was just very well concealed.

Brilliant suction great for the car stairs or any little mess.
You’ll not be disappointed with this hoove
Could do with longer hose extension when cleaning the floor and standing upright! Otherwise great bit if kit.
Bought this to go with the air ram vac for mum. She absolutely loves it. So easy to use, and really impressed with the suction power.
We have an upright as well as the hand held. It replaced a Dyson which has not been the best with two new batteries over a couple of years. To date it has performed very well and it picks up pet hairs using the front powered brush. Battery life seems very good and uses the same charger as the upright we have. Good value. Very pleased.

Great little vac which collected more dog hair off the rugs than my Miele Cat & Dog vacuum cleane
We hesitated on buying one of these, but there really was no need to – it’s much better than expected.
We’ve also got one of the large g-tech vacuum which paired with this has meant our carpets are all incredibly clean and all much easier to clean – both being wireless makes it all so much easier!
StairsI’ve got 33 steps so when I got the Hand held oneone amazing only took me quarter of an hour 10 minutes all the time I’ve been using the Dyson balancing it on the steps plugged in now I’ve got a cordless machine amazingHappy days
We’ve had a Dyson handheld, and recently a Black and Decker. But this G-Tech version is so much better. Real suction power, decent cleaning, easy to empty. I’m a real fan.
The only small disadvantage is that there’s no charging cable, you just have to run a cable to the base of the vacuum.
Nevertheless, this is an excellent product, well worth the money.
I bought this gadget mainly to clean around our budgie cage. It is proving so versatile we are using it for all types of jobs around the house and even the car. An excellent purchase.
The real weakness is Gtech’s website. I have tried 4 or 5 times to register. I can’t even use the code CAR19 to buy the car kit on the website. The website doesnt even have a search facility. The website is a letdown for a good product, pity.

It has exceeded expectations. Perfect for the stairs and smaller areas. The suction is great and the battery life more than we have ever needed. We did have an issue with one of the parts but contacted G Tech who responded immediately and new part received within 24 hours during a pandemic!
As I got older I was finding hard to balance my vacuum cleaner in one hand whilst using the other hand to apply the flexible hose to the stair carpet. Gtech multi makes this so easy. Also great for vacuuming up pet hairs from the settees.
The new hand vac has been revised and it’s much lighter and easier to use. The power button now stays on until you switch it off. The filter is better and easier to clean and now with added air freshener cartridge. It comes with a mini brush tool that has revolving brushes while you vac. Great for upholstery and the stairs. Overall a Fantastic product. The only hand vac I will ever buy.
This is fantastic to use work work clearing up mess. Car or van and at home suction power is great only one negative is the battery don’t last long and takes a while to charge. But becouse it is so pwerfull of course it will use battery quickly.
Great machine. Not as lightweight as I expected but an efficient machine. I had hurt my back during lockdown so could only do housework sitting down. It was a life saver and I use it all the time for surfaces, floors, skirtings and cobwebs on ceilings and of course the car .
Wanted to support this British company, after they helped with the Covid ventilator challenge. Very pleased with this handheld vacuum. It’s got an on/off button (unlike the Dyson) and it’s great value for money. Powerful suction and some good tools for getting into places and brush head great for cleaning sofa or carpet. Very early days but pleased.
It is heavier than the Dyson, though. And bigger. So consider whether weight is an issue, and where you’re going to store it.
Would be great if it came with a bag to store the attachments, recharging cable etc.

I can’t fault this product, it’s brilliant!! I have two full flights of stairs in my house and my up right vacum cleaner (the make of which begins with a D) is bulky and heavy and has no small attachment for stairs, so cleaning the stair cases has been hard work for years. That has now completely changed, thanks to the gtech multi hand held. It is easy enough to use one handed, the brush head is the perfect size for stairs, its small enough to store in a cupboard, its got great suction power and the brush head even has a little light on it!! All those stupid little things that anoy you about vacum cleaners – Gtech have sorted them!! Its incredibly easy to get to the filter if you need to clean it. Its very easy to empty the bin. Very quick and easy to change the attachments. Easy peesey to get the brush head out if you need to replace or clean it and they have a brilliant little way of getting the hair out of the bristles. It arrives with some charge on it (not full) so you can test it out straight out of the box. AND the packaging is all recyclable!! I can not reccomend this highly enough.
Heavier than I thought, on/off button in wrong place, I keep accidentally turning it off – would I buy again and recommend? absolutely, It’s fabulous and so convenie
Good suction, expensive and stopped working after a short while.
Gtech replaced main body but Gtech customer service very slow and not the most user friendly company.
Expected more.
Ok to clarify I will update this review after a few weeks. I have only used it once.
First impressions were disappointing really.. the plastic looks so cheap.. feels so cheap. The picture on here shows a grey rubberised handle with different textured finishes on the unit itself. Where as you can see from my picture it’s all just cheap plastic.
The suction seems quite weak.. I mean it did the job around the skirting boards but if you hold it to your hand it feels less than impressive. This is with the crevice tool attached.
Using the roller heads again it feels under powered, it does the job but it will not impress.
Weightwise it isnt heavy, but it isn’t light. If you have dexterity issues it may become troublesome. The intended nozzle and crevice tool are wobbly.
All the dust seems to concentrate around the seal of the lid of the bucket. Actually underneath said seal. Which indicates the seal isn’t sealing that well?
The fragrances cartridges smell like burnt rubber or plastic. Far from pleasant. I won’t be using them. Although instructions say you MUST. I’m guessing just ripping the carriage off but keeping the cap in place will be fine.
I got it mainly to get into edge since the regular gtech can’t . It works in that regard it just seems like it should cost like 70 -90 not 170 at all.
For a handheld it is really good. I got it alongside a Neato robovac as the robot is no use on stairs. I’ve been impressed with the Gtech overall. Battery life is great, it’s definitely not one that needs to be kept on charge between use – I charge it once every couple of weeks.
I did have an issue after about 18 months when the “headlight” started flickering in use. But after contacting Gtech they sent me a couple of spare parts (which did not help) then they sent a whole new body which did sort the issue.
I would have given this a full 5 star rating, it’s almost perfect but for two things: there needs to be a crevice tool without the brush for getting into corners and a longer extension tube would be perfect.
Fantastic at picking up all dust and hair/fur from stairs. Powerful until battery recharge needed when it just cuts out. Not a huge battery life but easily enough for stairs, landing and a small room No low power cleaning. Has crevice tool in handle so easy to swap between the two. I am worried that the pull/push way of taking off dist barrel will get damaged over time but it must have been tested. Love it. Nice handle but if using at an angle it feels a bit awkward. Highly recommend

I love this handheld cleaner. No more stretching up or bending down because it does it easily. It is light weight and durable, holds the charge for long enough to do the whole house. Perfec
And never imagined being driven to review or rate a vacuum cleaner, but it really does the job.
Bought it for the convenience of doing the sofa & rug for the cat plus stairs. Sofa was a breeze, the rug really came up and the stairs were done in a jiffy without breaking my back. It lasted for a good 20-25 mins…plenty enough.
The tools are all far-reaching and the powered rotating brush thing goes deep and gets the rug nap up, but it’s ok on upholstery & cushions too.
I was surprised by how much initial muck it drew, enough to need emptying, but a regular refresh round would only take 5 mins.
The Dyson was the only other contender. While it had a few extra bells & whistles and undoubtedly does the job, I was on a budget and chose this with no regrets.
I found no cheaper contenders with the power needed where pets are involved.
I bought this specifically to vacuum the stairs and it does the job well. Battery life and suction power are decent and I’ve had no problems cleaning what is quite a difficult, tightly packed carpet.
I thought it might be a little lighter but it’s not uncomfortable to hold. Comes with 2 attachments/replacement heads and a charger. Pleased with this product. 🙂
Good hand hold vacuum, lasts much longer than our previous hover branded one with much more power too.
The rotating brush attachment makes light work of larger areas.
Value for money is not great though, if you want the attachments. For those that do, be aware there’s a voucher in the box for them, which will save you a bunch; which is insulting to those that did purchase both together, thankfully we didn’t.
Brilliant it’s really amazing. At first I was concerned because it had a scented air freshener in which smelt disgusting and made me feel sick. I phoned GTech they talked me through how to remove the small “stick”air freshener and said would operate fine with out it, which it does. I used it on a carpet which I had cleaned with my dyson and was amazed how much it picked up. This is a must for pet owners. I am going to a full size GTech to complement this hand held model. The Dyson is going to the dump.

Removing the filter is a doddle and the dust container just pulls off the main body with a click to empty. (Its a little stiff to remove at first until it wears in a little).
The suction is very powerful, it even picked up a ‘place mat’ from my dining room table as a test.
It does not last a full 20mins when using the motorised stair attachment but the runtime of 15 min was fine. However when just using suction only and the brush attachment it lasts the full 20mins.
It takes 5 hours to charge from low, however you can get a good 10min of useful service with less than 1 hour of charge. Overall I am very pleased with this product.
I got this specifically for stairs as I have an upright vacuum cleaner that is not suitable for this task. Great for that, easy to empty and maintain. 40 minutes of cleaning on a full charge is more than enough time to do all the stairs and skirting boards too.
Another note on suction: I own a husky and his fur gets everywhere even in places he isn’t allowed to go. This removes that fur from the stairs

This is a really lightweight powerful handheld vacuum. The one problem with it is that if you have the main attachment on it it will not go backwards on carpet, it conks out and you have to wait 20 seconds for it to start up again which is ridiculously annoying. The extra attachments are a bit useless as the tube attachments end is way too big to help get into the little cracks. Really easy to dispose of the dust and does pick up anything you throw at it.
Used mainly for stairs and car and small spills. Suction good and variety of nuzzles allows access to awkward corners. The charge only lasts 20 mins and it takes a long time (2 hours +) to charge. So not for frequent use but very lightweight and can be held with one hand.
Works well, pretty good suction, however, that starts to drop with the battery which doesn’t have the longest life. In saying that, I generally use this for stairs and edges so does the house a couple of times before recharge.
Cleaned the car pretty well also so has more flexibility with use than your corded ones.
Lightweight and easy to extend for the cobwebs when they appear.
Really impressed with this handheld vacuum so far. Battery has lasted a decent amount and suction hasn’t faded at all even as battery depletes. The various attachments it comes with are useful too. There is a handy spotlight that shines when you power, so you can see clearly what you are vacuuming.
My only criticism is that the attachments only fit upright and the unit is a bit big to be easy maneuvered in tight spaces, it didn’t fit easily between the cupboard tops and the ceiling or under the bed. It needs a flexi hose really for these situations so I bought the (overpriced) car kit, which comes with one. This did the job on the cupboards but you can’t put attachments on it so not so good for the carpet under the bed. Some reviewers said they got a 50% off voucher for the car kit with the vacuum but I just got a generic 10% off one.
Other than this minor gripe I’m very pleased with it.
i have been using gtech for about 8years now the old hand held was absolute rubbish went back to using handbrush but the new hand held is brilliant would recomend this
Finally decided to give it a go as we have four flights of stairs. This was a really pleasant surprise to find the ‘stairs’ attachment is actually powered from the main battery. Its performance is excellent too.
As for hair, my wife has a BMW ragtop and the next door cat uses it as a deck chair to laze in the sunshine. It is an absolute pain to de-hair as we use rolls and rolls of double sided tape (the rollers for clothing). This machine did the whole top in about 10 minutes and even aligned the knap. Utterly fabulous and a great relief.
Well impressed. Simply . . . it does what it says it does “on the can”.
I love this handheld, had it for a week and it is great for my stairs and for doing around the edge of the carpet/skiting boards where my main G-Tech Air Ram cant reach.
My only disappointment is that the older models came with an extendable flexible hose built in and a solid extension pipe as standard by this has been removed from the MK 2 which would have it harder for older people and those less mobile to use.
Other than that the battery holds its charge well and the suction is excellent. It even pics up hay that my rabbit leaves laying around without an issue unlike every other vacuum hoover I have bought.
Vacuuming the stairs has suddenly become so much less of a chore! With my arthritis I find upright cleaners so heavy to keep lifting as I go, and the cord has always driven me to distraction. My daughter recommended this one, and I am thrilled with it. It’s perfect for cleaning inside the car, and for getting to some of the hard-to-reach places in the house. I’ve also now bought the upright cordless Gtech and again, I’m thrilled.
The suction on both cleaners is great, and although the dust canister is small on the multi cleaner, it’s easy enough to empty. I may well buy a spare filter, so that I can wash the other one and let it dry. The battery charges well, and the fact that you can take the battery off to charge it means I don’t have to worry about where to plug it in.
Even my husband is enjoying using it ……well, for now!
This is a decent handheld, the suction power is of course much lower than the upright, but it means it’s safer to use on fabric surfaces as nothing clogs it. It’s still effective getting up dirt and dust, and the various attachments are useful. And the small size makes it handy for squeezing into awkward areas.
However, it loses a star as the battery life is short compared to the charging time, and the power button is very stiff – verging on painful to press to get it to respond. The grip also starts to cause discomfort if held for too long, but that might be me holding it incorrectly.
Overall though, a useful addition to household cleaning kit, and definitely glad to have purchased it.
