I tested Gtech’s newest (and most affordable) cordless vacuum – for *only* £180, I didn’t expect it to impress me as much as it did

Gtech's AirRAM range has built a solid reputation for reliable, easy-to-use vacuum cleaners. So I was keen to see how the newer Core model fits into the line-up, especially as one of the most affordable AirRAM models you can buy.

With so many of the best cordless vacuum cleaners leaning into advanced features, smart tech and multiple attachments, I tested the Gtech AirRAM 2 Core Cordless Vacuum in my busy family home to see whether a simpler approach could still hold its own for everyday cleaning.
