Gtech K9 AirRam & Multi Unboxing & First Look

[@jeffallinson8089]

We have had ours a few weeks and it is BRILLIANT. The Air Ram K9 picks up like nothing I have used and the Multi K9 is a great addition to the range as it is sufficiently powerful and versatile, my only reservatioon being the lack of a rigid crevice tool. If your considering getting these, do so. They are superb.

[@neilmansfield8329]

Yes this looks like a good floor sweeper for carpets and floors

Great demo. Well presented and perfectly explained throughout. Ours arrives tomorrow and hopefully will have X2 chargers. Thanks again for a super demo.

[@Marklovesdrama]

A really useful video. It helped me assemble the vacuum, really quickly.

[@mbak7801]

It is necessary and easy to clean the collection bin in the Air Ram. The screw at the end is a miniature torx. Warm soapy water and a 24 hour dry and you are ready to go. I have found the Air Ram and multi get gunged up and dirty quickly. In future I will be using a Charles vacuum for a weekly deep clean and the Air Ram/Multi for daily freshening up.

I have mine for over a year,i love it,no bending over when hovering,its makeing a noise,Gtech AirRam K9,i have cleaned filter and put the spare one in and washed the other one,put a smelly in cleaned the brushes,it when its sucking in the dirt u here a noise sounds like if some think is stuck some where,reminds me of u no the tape sticky that you get round the bread to stop bread comeing undon, got caught somewhere but i dont no where to look,we have 2 dogs thats why i got this one,

[@harrisonread2545]

I do like the look of both these machines.

[@helenday5031]

I have just received my new Gtech K9 today, and so far so good....it appears to have very strong suction, and so far I like it a lot . I have another (previously purchased) handheld of DIFFERENT BRAND, which is a great vacuum but I really dislike this OTHER vacuum's emptying box because it has these awful STIFF PLEATS (looks a bit like CORRUGATED cardboard) on the filter, and the dust gets stuck in the crevices between each pleat. I have to use a small brush to get the dust out, and I found myself breathing in the dust.........in the end, I started wearing one of those white dust masks each time I emptied it.

[@romystumpy1197]

Ive used g tech tub vacuum when i cleaned a building few yrs back very efficient.dont think they make them anymore

[@DeekMacGibson]

Washed the whole cylinder made sure it was all dry works great

[@50plusdad-uk]

When the switches stop working on the multi, try spraying with contact cleaner/lube before replacing the switch.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

does the cylinder fill up quick.... would it need emptying after cleaning each room?

[@helenday5031]

Personally, I breathed a sigh of relief when you mentioned that there is NO extension hose in this model. I have painful memories of the many times (in my old cable cylinder vac) that stuff got stuck in the middle of the extension hose. To me, an extension hose is NOT NEEDED in a handheld vac, because the PURPOSE of an extension hose is for when you have a CYLINDER vac , the main heavy body of which you rest on the floor, so that the extension hose IS needed then, to allow you to reach different parts of your floor. Whereas with a HANDHELD vacuum, you can just carry it around easily to reach different places.

[@levigaming-1]

I feel ya there my family had the whirlwind cylinder and whirlwind upright and it was a pain to use we ended up getting a cordless but I’m getting my own cordless the dyson v7

[@Dentos19]

I’ve got the g tech air ram and multi they are both really good you won’t believe what dust the vacuum picks up, easy to empty just keep the filters clean and g tech after sales is superb if you have a problem

[@ziggysmom5646]

Nice, wish we had it in the US

[@PaulSharpe1966]

Thank you for an informative and helpful video. Had it not been for this, I would never have worked out how to remove the bin on the K9.

I haven't seen one of them commercials in ages

[@jeangavienas9466]

Hi just purchased new air ram vacuum it makes a terrible noise from the visor on the front can this be removed

[@thomasmccullagh8282]

We got both of them,and to be honest I really don't rate them .the handheld tried it on the car,and I thought it was very poor picking up.the upright was ok at best just running around the floors ,but nothing to write home about. We don't use them atall now,and have gone over to another manufacturer now and we are really pleased with the latest results of our new machine.

[@saidrashahid1967]

I have the US version of the multi as a stick vac it's called the multi reach in the UK its called gtech power floor

[@tiredrummertube]

the problem with the air ram was that the handles broke where the upper handle entered the lower handle because of vibration of metal part against plastic part. Seems this may be a new handle design where both up handle and lower handle are plastic. Time will tell; right Roger?

[@ibaisaic]

The whole thing does seem flimsier than the original model but it's unlikely to break in my care. I do like using the AirRam though and it seems to pick up very well.

[@emeagain8359]

see if they have inproved the seal on the multi caniste please, i found on 2 units dust was getting into the handel and down to the battery compartment. if you suffer from astma not good. sent unit back.

[@wilmainches9569]

[@NoZenith]

I heard that on a press release/advert video for the new smaller motor design Dyson put out in the US. Well it started they no longer develop large vacuum motors

[@Thedarkslender]

NoZenith they never have made their larger motors. Most are from Panasonic.

[@helenday5031]

I received mine through delivery today, and so far, I like everything about it. But personally I dislike artificial scents, and so I am hoping that I can remove the scented cartridges.

[@DarthCoco]

Great review, but because this review is 4 years ago, I think people in the comment section who bought it 1 year ago probably have an improved version to say how good it is.

[@joshuagrimes2783]

in the U.S. we have the exact same thing made by Bissell both the air ram and multi

[@nor0845]

Bissell adopted the AirRam for sale in the U.S. and I believe Australasia. It's the same cleaner.

[@NoZenith]

Bissell basically bought the rights to licence and distribute in North America and Australia. We only have the base model Bissell AirRam and Bissell Multi, no K9 version. I was shopping for a vacuum my elderly grandmother could use. The capability, lightweight, easy to maintain nature of Gtech AirRam had me following them for a couple years and I even tried to contact them to get them to ship me one to the United States haha. No-go till Bissell began distributing in the 4th quarter of 2016 (October I believe)

[@NoZenith]

Although now they sell the multi with the floor attachment that was formerly only available in Asia. I bought the Multi and AirRam package deal right after they first came out for the holidays in 2016 to give my grandma. Her arthritis didn't allow her to use the hand unit so I kept it. I saw the floor attachment was available online and purchased it as a standalone replacement part. It is a fantastic idea but the tube is larger than the intake on the Multi diminishing the velocity of air movement and the floor attachment although under-sized is still too large a distribution of that minimal vacuum power. I do not recommend anyone invest in the floor attachment. The Multi with the same brushroll attachment shown here works extremely well though. I should note that the tube is separate from the floor attachment when you purchase from the Bissell website and I feel the tube is a good investment as the included small brush roll attachment is compatible. You can reach behind couches or next to a desk that is difficult or impossible to get to without moving the furniture and still actively vacuum :-) I still take this to my grandma's and vacuum behind her desk and in corners that she doesn't get to.

[@mammamoo3045]

Desperate for someone to tell me how to DISASSEMBLE this product. It’s faulty I need to pull it apart but I can’t do it!!! Please help advice please

[@angelinelam9054]

Where can I get the battery in Malaysia

[@glynroberts8832]

I like a cleaner with stiff brushes, but in your opinion, do they clean deeper than soft brushes Roger.

[@ibaisaic]

I would have thought that stiffer brushes clean deeper as they agitate the pile more to release the dirt.

[@glynroberts8832]

ibaisaic .That's what I believed Roger. Thank you. Just wasn't sure.

[@madabouthoovers9767]

The chargers are 20 quid each, and the scented tab inserts are a tenner each, direct from Gtech, the scented tabs are compatible with the Air Ram Mk2 and Multi, and Gtech say they should be replaced once a month, so these would cost a fair packet each year if you have two machines, a tenner per tab is a bit steep! www.gtech.co.uk/support/cordless-vacuum-cleaners/gtech-multi-mk2-k9.html

[@ibaisaic]

I think the picture showing just one tab is wrong. The scented tabs for earlier models cost £9.99 for six months supply which is six packets of four.

[@nor0845]

The scented tabs are only compatible with the K9 model, not standard AirRam. Remember to take the plastic sleeve off the tab before use. If they lose their scent you could maybe add some lavender oil to the tab?

[@ibaisaic]

You can buy a flat scented tablet from Gtech for the earlier versions.

[@nick4k539]

Isn’t this called the bissle airram?

[@ibaisaic]

In the USA and Canada it is, but this is called Gtech in the UK as Gtech is the manufacturer who designed it. Bissell can sell it under their brand as they have an agreement with Gtech to do so.

[@nick4k539]

ibaisaic oh ok thank you for the clarification Love your videos by the way been watching a lot of your vids during lockdown

[@reamannmacbiatiagh2057]

14:56 "BUT" ,,, Oh dear,,, I think I'll stick to the old Kirby,,, a heavy brute of a thing however works as good as new and lifts just about anything out of the carpet after 28 years of use,,, I wonder how long the G tech will last?

[@helenday5031]

I am scared of spiders, I can't help it. For years, I was terrorized by them. (especially when they were in high places) But then one day, in my local newspaper, I read a review of a horror film, about a man who one day vacuums up a spider and because of what he did, a giant spider appears to take revenge on him and pursues him. But GREAT FOR ME, because ever since I read that review, which gave me the idea of VACUUMING up spiders, my life has been more tranquil. Anyway, I was thus very pleased today to discover that my Gtech K9 came with a 35cm pipe (50 cm if you stick the crevice tool at the end of it) allowing me to capture spiders without having to get too close to them.

[@paulillingworth1242]

Another great video Roger, the new air rams head reminds me of the new Shark cordless cleaning head, the filtration / separation looks questionable on both Gtech machines though.

[@ibaisaic]

During regular use, the filters don't get as dirty so quickly and at least there's a spare set to fit when the others are drying.

[@traindude3332]

But Bissell did make a vacuum in America that was very similar to that one

[@NoZenith]

Train Dude that was addressed above, Bissell did not make it they licensed the rights to sell this vacuum under the Bissell name in North America and Australia. As far as I know they're manufactured in the same facility in China as the Gtech version.

Does Bissell own Gtech?

I have a first generation AirRam. The things that drove me crazy about that were changing the filters (it was fiddly and they didn't seem to sit properly after washing) and the emptying. The whole 'tidy bales" thing seemed poor and not like the ads! There seems to have been an improvement with these two aspects, but I'm not sure how durable that slide mechanism would be longterm. Don't think I'd buy another Gtech now. They...like the ads, just seem a bit zzzzzz zzzz. Look forward to the test though!

I'm quite liking them so far, especially the AirRam but the build quality doesn't seem that good.

These things are *terribly* made. Really poor plastic and built *not* to last. After sending the MK1 back after a couple of months ( couldn't disassemble to fit back in box ) we got a K9. After only about 10 months one of the plastic wheels has fallen off and on examination is not only broken, but badly designed and of very POOR quality. Don't waste your money on these battery TOYS, buy a proper mains vac.

[@nor0845]

If that is the vid with what looked like brick dust on tiles then an AirRam should pick it up no problem. I actually find mine pretty good at edges, you just have make sure it is running flush along the edge.

[@emeagain8359]

yes thats the one. i thought ram was ok but did not like the bin on it. and on multi found the seal at top of bin lacking, so dust particiles were geting past seal and onto hands. if you remove battery you find dust insde handle proving point. also triede a freinds unit which was the same.
