Experts in Cordless Cleaning: The Gtech AirRAM Story

Experts in Cordless Cleaning: The Gtech AirRAM Story

Great ideas often start in unexpected places. For Gtech founder Nick Grey, it started in a garage in the English countryside with a simple question: why are vacuum cleaners so frustrating to use?

Heavy machines. Tangled cords. Bulky designs that barely fit in the cupboard. Nick believed cleaning your home shouldn't feel simple. So he set out to build something better.

The result? The AirRAM. A cordless vacuum that took the UK by storm and changed the way millions of people clean their homes. Now, that same British innovation has arrived in the USA and it's better than ever.

Here's how the AirRAM range has evolved over the years, and why the AirRAM 3 is our best vacuum yet.

The Original AirRAM: A Fresh Start

When the first AirRAM launched in 2012, it turned heads immediately. At a time when cordless vacuum usually meant weak suction and a battery that died after ten minutes, the AirRAM offered something different: real cleaning power that lasted.

With up to 40 minutes of runtime, homeowners could clean their entire home on a single charge. No cords, no hassle. It was lightweight enough to carry up stairs without breaking a sweat, and it stored neatly in a corner without taking over the hallway.

British customers loved it. The AirRAM quickly became one of the UK's best-selling cordless vacuums, winning awards and earning rave reviews. People finally had a vacuum they actually wanted to use.

AirRAM 2: Even Lighter, Even Smarter

With the AirRAM 2, we took everything customers loved about the original and made it even better.

Weighing just 7 lbs, it glides effortlessly from room to room. The low-profile handle lets you reach under sofas, beds, and coffee tables without moving furniture. And the LED headlights? They make sure dust and crumbs have nowhere to hide even in the darkest corners.

The AirRAM 2 kept things beautifully simple: no confusing settings, no apps to download, no fuss. Just tap the button with your foot and start cleaning.

AirRAM 2 K9: Built for Pet Owners

If you've got a dog or cat (or both), you know the struggle. Pet hair gets everywhere! Carpets, stairs, furniture, places you didn't even know existed. That's why we created the AirRAM 2 K9 Cordless Pet Vacuum.

Reinforced with aluminium in key areas, the K9 is built tougher to handle the extra demands of pet-friendly homes. It picks up stubborn fur from carpets and hard floors with ease, and the scented cartridges leave your home smelling fresh instead of like wet dog.

Because let's be honest...we love our pets, but we don't love the mess they leave behind. The AirRAM 2 K9 was designed with exactly that in mind.

AirRAM Platinum: Power Meets Elegance

For those who wanted even more from their vacuum, we introduced the AirRAM Platinum Anti-Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum.

The headline feature? Anti Hair Wrap technology. A built-in comb keeps the brush bar clear, so hair ends up in the bin instead of tangled around the brush. No more stopping mid-clean to cut out clumps of hair with scissors.

We also added Forward Inertia Drive, which gently propels the vacuum forward as you clean. It sounds like a small thing, but once you've tried it, regular vacuums feel like hard work.

With up to 60 minutes of runtime, which is more than enough to clean even the largest home, the AirRAM Platinum quickly became a favourite for customers who wanted premium performance without the premium complexity.

AirRAM 3: Our Best Vacuum Yet

And now, there's the AirRAM 3.

We asked ourselves: what would the perfect vacuum look like? The answer was a machine that cleans places other vacuums struggle to reach and requires little maintenance.

Dual Edge-Clean Technology is something you won't find anywhere else. Two small rotating brushes at the front sweep dust and debris from along skirting boards and out of corners, so you don't have to get down on your hands and knees to finish the job.

The Auto-Cleaning Filter means no more washing filters or watching suction fade over time. The AirRAM 3 takes care of itself, so you can focus on the cleaning rather than maintaining your vacuum.

And like every AirRAM before it, it's lightweight, cordless, and ready to go whenever you need it. No cords to untangle. No bags to replace. No complicated modes to figure out.

Just simple, powerful cleaning which is exactly how it should be.

British Innovation, Now in the USA

For years, the AirRAM was one of the UK's best-kept secrets. Customers across Britain swapped their heavy, corded vacuums for something lighter, smarter, and more enjoyable to use. Now, that same innovation is here in the USA.

Whether you want a simple, yet award-winning vacuum with the AirRAM 2, to tackle pet hair with the AirRAM 2 K9, enjoy the long runtime of the AirRAM Platinum, or experience our most advanced cleaning yet with the AirRAM 3, there's an AirRAM designed for you.
