Vacuuming often feels like a compromise between two extremes. You either have a hand vacuum that gives you access to hard-to-reach places but doesn’t have the suction power you want, or you have a behemoth that supplies powerful suction but can’t get into narrow spaces, like underneath sofas or beds.
Our recommended solution to the dilemma: Gtech’s AirRAM3 cordless vacuum cleaner. This lightweight and slim vacuum provides the combination of reach and power you need for every nook and cranny of the house. Plus, it’s currently on sale for over 30% off on Amazon. Let’s get the dirt (both literally and figuratively) on how this sleek machine works.

Right off the bat, you’ll notice the AirRAM3’s design, which is a modern take on the traditional carpet sweeper. With a single slim stick and a wide-mouthed bottom, this vacuum doesn’t take up much real estate in your closet and can stand on the side on its own. And at just eight pounds, you can tote it anywhere without struggle.
But in the vacuum’s simplicity lies its genius, as the stick can be lowered all the way to the floor, giving you the ability to slide the entire vacuum under sofas, beds and tables without issues. The 13-inch-wide roller provides a wide cleaning path, and the vacuum propels itself forward with just a gentle push from the user. The spinning side brushes aligned on the sides of the cleaner also do a great job of scooping up dirt in corners and along baseboards.
The Gtech AirRAM3 vacuum comes with one “strong” suction mode — and, to be honest, you don’t need more than that when it comes to cleaning your hardwood floors or carpet. The bagless collection bin is contained in the roller, which means you don’t have to worry about dirt and debris clogging up tubes like you would with other vacuums. The AirRAM3 also compresses dirt as it adds it to the bin, which means you get a lot more cleaning done than you might expect for such a compact bin.
Speaking of, cleaning out the bin is easy as pie; just pull off the bin, slide it open and empty it into the trash. Better still, the vacuum self-cleans its own filter, removing dirt from it during operation and ensuring you get a lot of use out of each filter. And finally, we can’t downplay the freedom of a cordless vacuum, as this one gives you up to 30 minutes of cleaning time on a single charge.
Amazon users praise the Gtech AirRAM3 for its low clearance, its light weight, and overall value compared to similar vacuums, while TechRadar gives it high marks for passing all kinds of cleaning tasks with flying colors. Power, convenience and ease of use — sounds like the perfect vacuum to us, which is why the Gtech AirRAM3 is at the top of our list of cleaning must-buys.
