Excellent sweepe
Excellent sweeper. I use it every day for a quick squiz around. It works well on carpet, wood floor and tiles. It doesn’t always get the hairs from my wooden floor but it’s amazing how much it picks up from the carpet. It’s definitely easier than getting my clunky hoover out. It takes a while to charge. The charge light doesn’t go green but I charge mine 8 hrs twice a week and use it for 15 mins each day.
Happy hoovering 😀
Brilliant. Lightweight. I used to push against the carpet pile but not anymore. Goes from carpet to rug to lino without any problems. Lifts pet hair from a rug my hoover couldn’t. Couldn’t be happier with this
Great little machine
A friend had one,loaned it to us for a trial.We then bought one.Have since loaned ours to another friend who has now bought one.( Any chance of a commission ? )

I would recommend it to everyone

it does the job large and small.
Very good sweeper. Does the job and it is not necessary for me to keep using my vacuum cleaner. As i live in a bungalow and don’t have a dog i don’t know about stairs, and hair, but it picks up my budgie’s feathers and seed husks that get on the carpet.
brilliant hoove
his is the second one that I bought the first one still going strong except the top part of the handle has broken but still works great after ten years of use the new one is equally as good picks up all surface’s really pleased when this one packs up will def get another brilliant product fully recommend.
Does a very good job!
This is the second of these devices that I have purchased. The older of the two has been relegated to the garage as a good alternative to sweeping. The new one is just as good, if not better, indoors. It moves easily from wooden floors to carpet and then back again. The new one seems a little noisier than the original but the cleaning power makes up for any of the louder sounds.
Really not too bad!-Good value for money!
It’s really not a bad little hoover. My Gtech Ram has broken after 18 months of continuous use & due to the pandemic I can’t get it fixed. This souped up little hoover is pretty good all told for keeping on top of the pet hair/dust & cat litter in between hoovering with my regular plug in hoover.

Light but sturdy with good suctio
This is my second one and I’m as pleased with it as the first time I bought it .. arrived very quickly ..great product ..i find it great with pet hair I have 7 cats,and a dog ..as I have arthritis I find it light but sturdy for daily cleaning in between a big weekly Hoover up … only problem i found and that’s because of the arthritis in my hands was pulling the locking clip out on the base to attach the handle .. can recommend this sweeper ..
Not a bad second vac
Nice light weight vacuum using mine for a daily quick vac upstairs very easy to use esp for me with arthritis etc
a srep up from the traditional bissell
A good product but 1 star off for long recharge time and overpriced, I think 50 would be more suitable.
Excellent product!
This is an excellent product, with which I am delighted….in fact, friends are now going to purchase one having seen mine in action. I haven’t used it for cleaning up hair, so can’t comment on that, but it does an excellent job, as far as I am concerned – and it is as light as a feather. Highly recommended!
Very handy sweepe
I like this as I don’t like hoovering with a large machine. I have had two of these before and they were fine although they didn’t last as long as I had hoped, two years maximum. The working time also got much shorter gradually. I’m hoping this one will last me longer.
Lightweight to use and does a great job
I am disabled so can’t use standard hoovers. This is just great to use as it’s lightweight but picks up everything including dog hairs and easy to empty and clean. Best thing I ever bought.

Does the job
Perfect for a quick vacuum up of cat hairs on my hard floors and rugs downstairs. I have a Henry for upstairs carpets.
Does feel a bit plasticy and flimsy for a Gtech but does the job.
My telescopic handle broke the second time I used it. However, one email to the seller resulted in a replacement being sent out immediately!
Great little sweepe
Wanted this for bedrooms which are hard floors and it is great for hair and fluff. Picks others stuff up too of course!
Does the job for me
This is my second one of these. I bought this to replace my previous one which had become a little noisy and not as efficient ( it was over 10 years old !!) I use it for quickly sweeping up crumbs etc in my kitchen. I love it. I have used it on carpets in my lounge and it’s fine for picking up bits. I wouldn’t see it as a replacement for a vacuum cleaner. Would definitely recommend it for what I need it to do for me.
Noisy but awesome.
So much better than my shark sweeper that died on me. So glad I paid a bit more. Quite the best sweeper I have had.
I waited for one year before writing a review. This is an ultra light, easy to manoeuvre gadget. It is effective for everyday use and I do use it daily between weekly vacuuming. Has a good battery life (an hour or so for continuous use and the same for episodic use ) and charges in a few hours. Effective on large tiled areas and carpets. Love it!

Feels flimsy but has good suctio
The little hoover does have good suction but does feel flimsy particularly the drawer where you empty it from. I have only had it a short while so will have to see how long it lasts. Do like the fact it goes from hard floor to carpet easily. I don’t have stairs so can’t comment on how that works.
As always the gtech swiper dose the job have being using them for well over10yrs this is my second as the first one is now used for up stairs it’s a lot easyer than lugging a vacuum up the new one is as good for down stairs with 5 dogs its again helps to limit the lugging of vacuum about and since my arthritis as got worst they are a god send ,only thing is new one is noiseyer but with all the other benefits it offers I can put up with it ,it says 60 min use well on one charge I’ve managed to use it on two full carpeted rooms for 3 days which is marvelous and money saving with all that going for the new one what’s a little noise
Light and very efficient sweeper.Feels a bit fragile, though.
This sweeper is so easy to use. We had a small problem in following assembly instructions,but received excellent advice from the service department.Good value for money
Well what can I say? Done expect the suction of a Gtech Hoover from a carpet sweeper but what this little beast can pick up is pretty amazing! The holding chamber is nearly full even when I can’t see anything visible on the floor! The little circular brush on the right is fab for doing the edges too.
Works well on both laminate/wood and carpets, but with carpets don’t expect as deep clean as you’d get from a proper hoover. It’s good for picking up crumbs and also does manage to pick up pet hairs too to a certain degree!
Totally and utterly impressed, not a waste of your well earned cash that’s for sure!
Good but not brillia
It does most of what it says but is perhaps a bit too light in weight which means it skims over hair on a hard floor but picks it up on the carpet. The suction is not as good as I expected but it is enough for my sewing room and the door mats. I am disappointed but not entirely surprised.
ealiable
only sweeper I can use 83 yrs old [ my old one which I have had for years has just packed up ] hope the new one last as long , great little sweeper regards beatrice
Works well with little effo
I have never used it on stairs. I love this sweeper it is amazing how well it works and takes very little effort. My previous one broke where the handle fits onto the base which was disappointing but we bought another one the same as we liked it.
Magical Device
This magical little device is NOT a vacuum cleaner. However it is a versatile and efficient surface sweeper. It is light,easy to use on either thick carpet or hard bathroom tiles and kitchen floors. It will pick up coins and bits of polystirene with equal ease. However, it is not good with dog/cat hair. Buy one. You will not regre the purchase
Best sweeper I have ever used
This sweeper is magic. It picks up everything, including a lot of dog hair. I even use it on sofas and armchairs.
There is nothing to dislike.
Fantastic, light cleaning machine.
Fabulous little cleaning machine for smaller jobs and perfect weight for anyone who cannot heave around heavy vacuum cleaners. Easy to use, easy extraction of dirt in the special Gtec way and great manoeuvrability. I love it and shall no doubt also buy the Air ram for extra suction power. Perfect for those less able and not strong enough to carry around a bigger cleaner.

Very impressed
Very surprised by this little sweeper. It’s light, very easy to use and empty. With 4 cats and 1 dog it really picks up pet hair. Absolutely great for the days between vacuuming when you don’t have a lot of time. Adjusts very easily from carpet to hard flooring too. Extendable handle which is great for taller people.
Noisy
The sweeper is quite noisy ,rattles in use not its any better than the bissel sweeper which is much quieter and sweeps as good if not better and I think cheape

Excelle
It’s light and easy to use, I use everyday, I have 2 dogs and so need to clean the hair on the carpets. I’m 72 and it saves me dragging out the Hoover, I got one for my daughter who does B&B it’s so quick to use round the bedrooms as it easily goes under the beds and down the stairs, she loves it and so do I. You do need to empty it after use so it cleans effectively, it’s easy to do.
Excellent value
For its price, this is doing the job really well. I love how it is so light and nifty. I use it mostly on carpets and have a small flat, so it’s perfect. The charge seems to last a long time and recharging it is easy. It arrived in a beautifully compact box and slotted together easily.

Great replaceme
The original Gtech sweeper was very good but unfortunately after many years the handle broke where it joins the rest of the machine. So a new Gtech was necessary. Works great and the handle design has been updated so no break expected here.
The Gtech SW2 is lightweight, easy to use and gets the job done efficiently!
Recieved yesterday but today swept carpets and floor tiles. Easy to assemble, but take your time to get it right. No filters or bags so very easy to empty. I was amazed by the volume of hair, fluff and debris collected. I have back pain so this lightweight cleaner is a huge help. It is not a vacuum but the brush design is great and it works equally well on hard or soft floor. You can remove the handle for stairs, so much easier than my vacuum cleaner with stair tools. I even cleaned the boot floor of my car in a couple of minutes. Good battery charge, it took me 25 minutes to do the work. A relief that I don’t need to haul out my Bissel cleaner every time. It looks smart but it is made of a tough plastic but does not have the build quality of the more expensive vacuum cleaners. To be fair, it costs a fraction of the cost of the big brands.
I love this Gtech.
This is a great little machine. Very light, very powerful and I’m going to buy another one to keep upstairs!
I bought the Gtech AirRam. It’s heavy, doesn’t clean corners and the back wheels fell off within a few weeks.
The SW02 is better, much lighter, great on carpet and hard floors and I highly recommend it. Easy to empty and charge lasts ages.
Wow.
We were sceptical that when we ordered this it would be a Micky Mouse cleaner perhaps originally designed by Fisher Price or Triang. But oh no. It took just a few minutes to assemble, a few hours to properly charge up and we’ve used it for well over an hour vacuuming our house. Lightweight to use, almost like pushing a dolly’s pushchair! Easy to empty and when we slide open the dust collection tray we realise how mucky and hairy our house is! Good value for money and competent cleaner when you ponder that there are cleaners costing hundreds on the TV or in the papers. So far so good. Perhaps it will fail us after a year or two. We’ll see…….
It's ok
Not really a powerful cleaner it’s an electrified carpet sweeper. Don’t like the rubber wheels wouldn’t like to use them on wooden floors as l think they would scuff. All in all its a useful every day crumb picker up

Fabulous product, have tufted carpets & woven excellent pick up on both….. haven’t tried stairs yet…. love sweeper being cordless & effortless to use …. weight wise light enough the sweeper does all the work…. marvellous: thank you
Does what it says
The best thing that I have bought in a long while. It is great so lightweight and picks up more than my present cleaner does. 2 of my friends have already bought it and I hope to convince another one when she comes to visit me in 2 weeks time.
lightweight. ideal for elderly people
I bought one of these sweepers about eight years ago .Used it every day. Broke the handle off being careless.So bought another sweeper New model. but works the same. So pleased with it I purchased one for my daughter as she admired my new one. I vacuum clean the house once each week and use the cleaner daily.Grandchildren visit a lot so easy to pick up any bits on carpet or floor which they leave. So easy and lightweight to use.Ideal for elderly people>Picks up every speck on any type of floor. Runs for one hour on full charge. My old one only went for 30mins .
How did I live without it!!!!!!
Just love it.
I was loaned a spare by my elderly nieghbour when I broke my elbow and loved it so much I got myself one and also one for my mother-in-law.
Just charge it , press the button and go. . Fabulous if you have pets . I can wizz. around in 5 minutes . Picks up all the cats hair and other bits . Really light weight. . For the person who said the suction is rubbish they obviously didn’t get the fact that it is a sweeper not a vacuum. But I love it for that. I now have a cleaner that comes every fortnight but this does the trick the rest of the time . So satisfying when I empty the collector! Works on carpet and hard floors and you can take off the long handle to use on the stairs.
Important to note
This is the second sweeper we have had. It is a great product. However when putting it together the telescopic bit goes at the top and connects to the handle. The instructions in the manual don’t say this and it took me a while to work out why the thing wouldn’t stay on. The handle bit as far as I am concerned is the opposite way round to how you would expect.
ALl in all I think it is great especially for my elderly mother as it is light.
This has to be the best sweeper ever! It picks up everything first time and is light and easy to use. Cleaning stairs is a doddle as well as the bottom clicks off from the pole and handle so you’re only using the actual sweeper. Very easy to clean, empty and recharge. We have a cat who uses a litter tray and even my Dyson can’t pick up amount of litter she kicks out of her box on a regular basis. This is my second Gtech small sweeper and I would never think of using anything else. Wish I had bought a full size Gtech instead of my Dyson now – but we live and learn! Quick and efficient service from the seller as well. Thoroughly recommend.
Wow
I’m over the moon. I would buy another one tomorrow. It cleans as good as,if not better, than any standard Vac I have ever had. I love it and I can’t recommend it high enough.

Very pleased
So far this has been excellent for quickly tidying , lightweight and manoeuvrable, charges quickly. Still a relatively recent purchase so hope it will continue to function well
I used to have one of these a long time ago. This one makes much more noise, and seemed to be doing a lot less. I was wrong. I swept about half a room that had been hoovered two days ago. The dust collection box was full – not only with dust, loose fibres, my long hair, random bits dropped…!!!! It had also collected, without complaining, a complete fountain pen that it found under the chair!
I suffer from fatigue and was struggling even to use the lightweight Gtech AirRam. This can be lifted with one finger. It is extraordinary. So light. So easy to use. Such a saving in energy – both human and electricity. What a bargain. I am going to use it most days and do a bigger vacuuming once a week.
Wonderful machine! Got this for a birthday present. Picks up very well especially cat fur! Easy to put together and handle is long which is good as I am 5ft 11″. Delivery was very fast. Price slightly on the high side ( I have seen it much cheaper): all in all though, I am delighted with my sweeper which will make life easier for me, it’s very light. Thank you.

I love this light and cordless cleaner. No more getting the vacuum out every day – once a week is the only time I use the electric cleaner. Every day a quick run round with the GTECH for everything, very light and easy to charge. The only downside is I would love it to run for longer. this is no big deal.
I was bullied into this review - honest!
Odd how minds don’t always gel. I don’t clean the floors or hump the cleaner about but I saw my slightly built 5ft tall wife humping our cleaner up and down the stairs and decided to find something lighter and went with this. Usual great service from Lakeland but on the first test I got a use time far shorter than the claims for a full charge (despite following the instructions exactly). I was all for sending it back but when my wife said “let me use it for a while” I relented and afetr the first use she was raving about it. She was far less concerned about whether she got a full hours use out of each charge and much more concerned that it was so simple to use and weighed so little.
We charged it again and still it came up short on the use time against the claims but would she let me send it back, would she hell. So there you have it, the practical lady beating the pedantic male, it was ever thus.
It appears you can replace the batteries when they fail which they expect will happen every 500 charges but I suspect it may be sooner than that and Lakeland would undoubtedly do the honourable thing as they always do but I think I would have to wrestle it from my wife’s hot sweaty hands before it ever went back. So despite my better judgement I have been instructed to give it 5 stars!
Ideal tool
Bought for my mother.
She finds it lightweight and really easy to ‘pick up the bits’ on a daily basis.
Emptying is simple and should be performed every use.
Probably the best household item she has.
This item uses NiMh batteries and therefore there is no ‘charge complete’ LED indication. The disadvantage of older technology!
The battery pack failed after 5 years. A Gtech replacement has brought the unit back to life.
Just what I needed!
Had reservations about this but bought it on the strength that my parents bought one when they first came out.
Delighted with it. It picks up all the cat fur from our new and thick pile carpet with ease. I use it alot as we have two long haired cats, hence the fur.
Great little sweeper and highly recommend i

Brilliant little sweepe
This is the third one I have purchased, first for me, one for good friends and one for my daughter. Says it all, best thing ever invented. It’s light, efficient, folds neatly into a corner, easy to empty and does an excellent job. I have not plugged in my Dyson since I bought it and don’t need to keep a cleaner upstairs because it is so light to carry up. It’s the one item in the house I couldn’t live without.

first one broke within minutes, but Lakeland replaced within days and new one is fine!
Updated Review:
After the first one I ordered for my 86 year old mother broke within 5 mins of light use (one then the other wheel fell off), I was critical of the product, and Amazon said the Lakeland would contact me directly.
I rang them directly and also received a phone call and email from them.
A replacement was shipped with a promised delivery within 7 days i think, but it arrived in only 2 working days.
Besides the stiffness of the dust draw removal, my mother is now very happy with it I am pleased to say.
DELIGHTED
When it arrived I thought the parcel was so light, it just could’nt be any use. But when I used it a different story!!!
I have all hard floors in my bungalow and rugs I also have a dog the reason for my purchase.It brought the pile up
on the rugs and I could’nt believe the hairs it collected out of 1 rug. On the floors it’s o.k. but does not get into the corners,
so thats a vacuum cleaner job.
Really good for every day but don’t ditch the vacuum.

MAYBE LIGHTWEIGHT BUT GOT A PUNCH
MySO2 arrived next day. I have now had it a week and so far am delighted. A very powerful little motor and always there without all the hassle of having to plug it in. My older upright vac. has got too heavy for me, at 85, so needed something lighter. The GTECH fits the bill perfectly and am very pleased. The only thing I was not sure about was using up the charge, before having to fully charge for the 16 hours, I am not familiar with rechargeable batteries. An indicator would have been helpful, also to tell when fully charged. However on phoning the company they were very helpful.
Good easy to use sweepe
Its good machine, it makes a good job of cleaning all of my pet mess, I have a parrot, guinea pigs and dogs and their food and bedding is always coming out of dishes, cages onto the carpet, Well a quick whizz around with this deals with it and without having to haul out the big hoover all the time, So this is great for clearing up throughout the day whilst giving house a more thorough hoover once a week, Its easy to empty too, only bugbear is the handle keeps falling off
works very well
I was very surprised at the size of the box when it arrived but after assembling it was please with the finished result. Looks the business but feels a little plasticy. However that said it works very well, and for the cost it really is quite a find. It was quite difficult to pull out the dust tray at first but it became easier with use.

It’s as good any sweeper that I ever owned and as the advertising says, it performs equally well on hard flooring or on carpet. The only snag I have come across, and one stopping me giving it a 5 star rating, is that the dust tray is of a very tight fit and as I suffer from arthritic problems in my hands then I struggle to slide it out from the sweeper body. Anyone else should manage fine with it and minor problems like this are often upgraded with next-generation models and I hope that Gtech take my comments on board.

Brilliant for my Restaura
Bought this for my busy family Restaurant, for cleaning up in the day when a hoover is too loud and bulky. Gets in corners really well and does a great job on thick carpet. We use this pretty much every day, and as my team look after it well it has done really well. We have had to buy a new stick for it, and are considering buying a new brush soon, as after 7 months of use every day use parts have started to wear, however parts from G-Tech were cheap and came the next day. It is quiet, hard working and as long as it is looked after will do a brilliant job, I honestly don’t know how we did without one before.

Good Little Sweepe
I have been using this product for a few days now and am pleased with it in general. I should have thought more before buying as it is good at removing pet hairs and surface dirt but cannot suck up grit and worked in dirt. Also I find the dust tray quite hard to remove, so not good of you have arthritic hands. I wish I had waited a couple of weeks and spent more money on the GTECH vacuum cleaner which I shall probably buy in the fairly near future. I still have to vacuum the carpets in between sweeping so now have 2 cleaners to store! If you want a lightweight and efficient carpet sweeper this is for you.
Charged it up for specified time and it goes like a dream
When putting it together it seems a bit frail and I was frightened of it breaking as I fit the handle to the cleaner but it is okay. Charged it up for specified time and it goes like a dream. The Dyson as not been out since this machine arrived. Would I advise anyone else to get one?, I certainly would. Light as a feather and works like a elephant.

Bought to replace a much loved, but very much more expensive cordless Dyson. The Gtech floor sweeper is a great little item and is so light to use. The suction is acceptable (not a patch on the Dyson – but then is about an 1/8th of the price…) and is quite capable of cleaning up dropped crumbs and pet hair from a hard kitchen floor. It struggles a little on carpets and rugs, but then I have bought it primarily for use in the kitchen to clear up after two young children and two furball cats – and for this, it works perfectly well and does a good job. Light weight, easy to operate, affordable, and sweeps up fine.
Its pretty impressive on how much it can pick up but ...
Really handy sweeper. It folds away neatly so a narrow profile so it fits into tight spaces for storage. We use this daily for quickly picking up any debris in the kitchen and hallway. A full charge lasts approximately for a week (around 25-30 mins). Its pretty impressive on how much it can pick up but the only thing that lets it down (slightly) is that it cant get too close to edges and corners.

1) It very light weight - easy to manoeuvre around
We’ve been using this sweeper for 4 months and I think it is time to share our experience:
The Positives:
1) It very light weight – easy to manoeuvre around.
2) Low energy consumption.
3) It is cordless, which makes it convenient to sweep every parts of the house, including areas with no sockets close by.
The Negative:
1) It is not very powerful.
2) It doesn’t hold charge for long (ours works for less than 30 minutes after charging all day).
Overall, I would recommend this sweeper, particularly if your floor doesn’t need a lot of power to sweep.
Best domestic item i ever bough
Best domestic item i ever bought. This sweeper does what I wanted it to do…Sweep from laminate floor to a carpet (small rug) and I can do the stairs also with not a great lot of effort. Very light to handle, easy to empty and even my grandkids love to use it to sweep up the bits of food that miss their mouths and drop on the floor. So pleased with this I can’t praise it enough. Price also is great , just less than 50..Here is the boring bit.. Im 60 odd and fed up of heaving a great big hoover up and down stairs so Im taking the easy way out……..GTECH cordless sweeper for beginners LOL.
a great sweeper.
A great light sweeper for picking up the crumbs during the day. Don’t expect a vacuum job, but this little thing is so light in comparison, and easy to use that it is a joy to sweep with. with a few minutes sweeping after each meal, this lasts a week on one charge. Spare parts are cheap and easy to get from the manufacturer direct, or via amazon (for cheaper postage).
Being low to the ground and thin it is easy to go around and under chairs, tables and other standing furniture.
Having bought one, you will come back for more. We have three!
very handy its like a toy
very handy its like a toy ,but very effective ,I have a henry and a dyson but they are both a pain to get out ,heavy and hard work I need a shower afterwards, but this item is light as a feather and wips around the house in a few mins ,picks up loads .
My only gripe is the recharge 16-24 hours but can damage if you overcharge or leave uncharged so you need to be aware ,shame it dose not switch of when charged as how long do you charge each time you use ?
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!
I adore this little Hoover. No matter how many times I go over my carpeted floors with it, it STILL manages to pick up dust etc. This truly is my best friend and once the front panel has been removed and the handle, it is very lightweight and ideal for doing the stairs. Far easier on my bad back than using my heavy old upright dyson.
I would HIGHLY recommend this to any buyer. Eventually when my current one dies, I WILL be purchasing another one as these are really very brilliant and in my opinion better than the dyson!
Great product. Designed by British designers
Great product. Designed by British designers. Much more functional than I would have thought. Lightweight, easy to use. Picks up well. Better than our Miele for getting fluff off of carpets. But cylinder type vacuum cleaners are not very good on fluff as they (generally) do not have brushes fitted. Wish we had bought one years ago. Easy to store, needs little space and no plug socket to find, constantly swap and better still, no long pipe to constantly ‘run over’.
I ordered one and my wife thought I had wasted money, till she tried it. She soon changed her mind though.
Great little produc
Great little product, I was surprised how much the G-Tech picked up. The G-tech has saved us a lot of time by not having to get the dyson out unwinding the power cord and then putting it away again. It is incredibly light to handle and it gets under furniture nooks and crannies. Charge seems to last a reasonable time and of course storage is a doddle. I would highly recommend this product, I did like the companies description ” it is like a mechanical dust pan and broom” and that is basically what it is. I don’t think we would be without ours now.
To be honest when i took it out of the box i did think it felt a bit cheap and that id wasted 50 quid
I ordered this because of the reviews and am not dissapointed at all. To be honest when i took it out of the box i did think it felt a bit cheap and that id wasted 50 quid. It took minutes to assemble and as my large rug was covered in cat hairs , i have 6 cats,i gave it ago i didnt have any high expectations at all. Its amazing i could not believe how much fluff and hairs it picked up. Its also very light so ideal for the elderly or infirm. This is by far the best 50 quid ive ever spend
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
GREAT PRODUCT – INCREDIBLY LIGHTWEIGHT, MANOEUVRABLE, GOOD BATTERY LIFE, EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE – FOR EVERYDAY CLEANING THIS IS THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR A HEAVY & CUMBERSOME VACUUM CLEANER – MY ELDERLY FATHER WHO SUFFERS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS IS DELIGHTED WITH IT – HE’LL STILL USE THE VACUUM EVERY SO OFTEN BUT THIS MAKES DAILY CLEAN-UPS SO MUCH EASIER – HE DECLARED IT ‘BRILLIANT!’

Brilliant little sweepe
Brilliant little sweeper. Remember, this is not a vacuum cleaner. It’s an electric carpet sweeper. Take it for what it is and it’s great. Sweep away everyday fluff and stuff (have no pets but sock fluff is the bane of my life) light and easy. Only need to get out the cumbersome hoover once a week, mostly so I can do the edges and the corners with the attachments if I’m honest. I have pale carpets both upstairs and down (I know, not sure what posessed me) but now it’s not a constant chore to keep them looking nice. Have read a few reviews where parts have failed or broken but this one seems to be holding its own. Very happy.

I first spotted one of these at my gym and was so impressed that I bought one for myself. I don’t know now what I ever did without it. It sits in a corner of my kitchen out of sight and if I drop anything on the floor, I can have it swept up in the blink of an eye. No messing around unravelling meters and meters of electric cable, moving the plug from socket to socket and hauling round a ten-tonne weight. We have wooden floors throughout the downstairs of our property and it is very effective at picking up pretty much everything – dust, food and dog hairs, small stones, coffee grinds, you name it. It also works well on carpet and a quite shaggy rug. It’s easy to empty, holds a charge very well, manoeuvres well, sweeps right up to the skirting board and lasts for ages before needing to be recharged. I like it so much I bought my mother one.
6 out of 5
As I already own one and know for a fact how great it is, I bought this for my mum to make her life a bit easier!! To say she is delighted is an understatement. (And if mum’s happy – I’m happy).. Now she can whizz round the house without having to bend to plug in/unplug hoover. She likes to hoover early so now she doesn’t bother anyone with excess noise at 5am!! Its lightweight so easy to lift up/downstairs. She can get it under beds, sofa, table etc without having to do her back in moving furniture. And it’s great for doing bits that don’t always justify lugging out the big old heavy dyson. Absolutely love it!!
I ordered this for my mum to use (she’d been finding lugging a traditional vacuum up and down stairs a bit challenging). I had initially been tempted by the Gtech Air Ram – on the strength of the product description, Press and customer reviews – but my dad objected to the price. This seemed like the ideal compromise.
My initial impressions of this weren’t entirely favourable. The sweeper arrives partially assembled in a box smaller than that of many a netbook: which was a little disconcerting. In addition, the Gtech Sweeper (in particular the three-part handle) is somewhat flimsy feeling. It’s so very light and easy to put together that I found myself questioning whether this would work/last at all.
I needn’t have worried. Once I (and then my parents) got past our initial preconceptions of what to expect in a rechargeable carpet sweeper, we discovered that this is certainly sufficiently robust for everyday home use AND surprisingly powerful. The GTech Sweeper does a great job of cleaning up pet hair: my parents’ Black and Tan dachshund and cream carpet are not an enviable combination, but it’s so easy to whip round with this that the dog hair situation is kept under reasonable control! An unexpected positive was that this arrived with some initial charge, so the sweeper could be tested straight away.
It’s not all plain sailing: because this has a rotating sweeper brush at the front long hair and other lengthier threads if caught tend to wrap around the rotating brush section and get stuck (ultimately requiring liberation via scissors). The collection drawer is quite small and requires frequent emptying. However, these are minor issues when taken against how nice, light, easy to use and effective this is at the price point.
Would I buy it again? Possibly not, but only because this has proven to be such a nice, neat simple device to use. Instead, I’d give serious consideration to buying its enhanced-feature sibling, the GTech Air Ram.
And my dad, who wasn’t prepared to consider buying the Air Ram… has since had me buy him a GTech cordless strimmer, having gained so much respect for the brand!
I bought my Gtech sweeper 3 weeks ago and I wished I had bought it long ago, I suffer with arthritis and struggle with any vacuum, it is so light you can pick it up with one finger, at first I thought this is too light to pick anything up, especially pet hair ( I have a black cat ) but when I looked into the dust tray I was amazed it was full of black cat hair. It picks up what you can’t see, I have recommended it to my family and friends and my Mom who is 82 and has osteo-porosis bought one and she loves it.
I would recommend the Gtech sweeper to anyone with disability problems as it is so easy to use and the dust tray is easy to empty.
I love it !!!!
