Gtech Pro 2 | Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner | 22V Li-ion Battery, Up to 40 Mins Runtime | LED Headlights | Triple Layer Filtration

Product Information

Overall, the machine worked equally well on both hard floors and carpet and was especially invaluable for vacuuming stairs when a cable would get in the way. You do have to keep your finger on the trigger while cleaning which can be a little tiring if you’re doing a full house blitz but it didn’t bother us. It’s also on the noisy side, so you probably won’t do much cleaning when the kids are in bed. Otherwise, we found the pro 2 a gamechanger for keeping the house tidy, even when we didn’t feel like doing a top-to-toe vacuum. The verdict: Gtech pro 2 It seems that some people with pets have had some problems with the suction power and the bag capacity. Our batteries maintain 88% of their performance after 1000 cycles. If we charge and run down a battery once a week, the battery would last for up to 19.2 years. If we do this twice a week, the battery would last for up to 9.6 years.

Double extension tube – the extension tube on the first model was one unit, whereas there are two separate units on the Pro 2. This allows you more flexibility in choosing your length. So, for example, you’d use just one tube for vacuuming the car or use the double for reaching down below larger sofas. Overall, the GTech Pro 2 features plenty of improvements over the first model and provides a much better vacuuming experience. This is all thanks to the superior design and build quality, as well as the various attachments that turn this vacuum into a multi-purpose cleaning tool. The bags are made up of three breathable layers which filter different grades of dust and debris, meaning the airflow can compress dirt more efficiently for maximum capability and durability. Each bag essentially acts as a filter, and with pleats increasing the capacity, you can go longer without changing them. You get a fresh clean every time you use a new bag. All homes have different cleaning schedules (and levels of dirt and dust), but we do our best to offer the most accurate results possible. We conduct user home trials and record how long a bag lasts in different households, from those with pets to family homes with young children. From that, we calculate the average number of bags that would be used in a full year.

You can see performance results of the Gtech Pro and competitor vacuums here How do Gtech test the Pro’s runtime? And while there are plenty of other similarities, like the 4 hour charge time and 40 minutes run time, there are some important areas where the new model outshines the first one. If you’re looking for a reliable vacuum cleaner that can be used instantly without plugging it in, the Gtech Pro 2 might be the right option for you. It eliminates the infamous dust cloud by using disposable triple-layered filter bags that can hold 1.5L of dirt and dust. But the convenience of using a Gtech cordless vacuum cleaner doesn't stop there. Our batteries are removable, meaning you can charge the battery discreetly wherever suits you, and only need to bring the vacuum out as and when you need it. What's more, our bagless vacuum cleaners feature easy-empty bins to make disposal mess-free and fast. Or, if you prefer bagged vacuums, you can avoid the dust cloud altogether and simply remove and replace when full. We found obvious improvements on the previous pro model too. The aluminium extension tube now has a joint in the middle for more cleaning options and the power floor head is much larger than on the earlier version so you can whip through the dreaded chore in less time. The vacuum also comes with a crevice tool and brushed nozzle, which were all easy to fit though we did find them a little stiff to remove.

These figures may vary depending on home type and usage, and our testing shows that cleaning time and charging varies significantly. What do Gtech consider to be a ‘high performance vacuum cleaner’?The pro 2 isn’t the lightest cordless model around but unless you have particular wrist or shoulder problems, you won’t struggle with it. At 2.8kg in its upright state, we found it easy to manoeuvre even on our carpeted stairs or when reaching under furniture. It was certainly considerably lighter than dragging a corded machine around. We also really liked the bright four-stage LED indicator which clearly displays the battery life and was useful when we wanted to vacuum certain areas before the charge ran out. Features Now that the comparison is out of the way, let’s take a look at all the other features of the Gtech Pro 2. Key Features

Cleaning the stairs is no longer a tiresome job either with the help of our lightweight lightweight handheld vacuums. And pesky crumbs? That's a job for our speedy cordless carpet sweepers. However, they were satisfied with the performance and repurposed the vacuum for other areas, and used a stronger vacuum for pet hair. There are internationally agreed methods (IEC standards) of measuring vacuum cleaner performance on carpets, hard floors and hard floors with deep crevices. We consider products with a cleaning width of at least 250mm (10 inches), which achieve an average score of at least 60% across the 3 tests, to be ‘high performance’. Unlike many cordless vacuums, the Gtech pro 2 uses bags, and the ongoing cost of these could put some people off this model. However, four are included in the box and each has a decent 1.5l capacity, lasting around a month when regularly vacuuming in a house with (long-haired!) children. Compact and efficient, our lightweight cordless vacuums make short work of cumbersome jobs. They're a great alternative to corded vacuums, which can make vacuuming between rooms and up and down stairs even more difficult, and less enjoyable too. Instead, all you need to do is charge your vacuum and enjoy the freedom of a cordless cleaning experience. It's that simple.As this is a new product, tests are still ongoing - results will be updated as we discover more. What makes the Pro's battery ‘professional grade’, what do Gtech mean by 'a design life of 10 years' and how is that calculated? Like all batteries, Gtech sweeper batteries don't last forever and after many hours of constant use they can begin to lose their run time. The first thing to establish is that the battery is charging correctly and that it is fully charged before you use your sweeper. When shopping for sweeper spares you will need to know your model number, which can be found on the rating plate on the underside of the main cleaning unit. At first glance, the Pro and Pro 2 models look very similar, with the battery, motor, and the bag all below the handle, connected to the suction head via the extension tube.

We can’t test our batteries for 10 years before we launch a product - this is unrealistic for any brand. Instead, we do an accelerated-use test in our labs to see how long the batteries last in real-life simulations. This involves continuously charging the batteries and then letting them run down while monitoring their performance. We test all of our floorcare products in accordance with IEC standards (international guidelines that all floorcare manufacturers have to follow). When used in ‘Eco’ mode, the Pro can run for an average of up to 40 minutes when used for above the floor cleaning; when used in ‘Max’ mode (recommended for tougher challenges), the average runtime is up to 20 minutes. Our calculations show that the average number of days a bag took to fill was 49.6 - this would require 7.4 bags per year, dependent on the size of area cleaned and amount of debris. We test all of our floorcare products in accordance with IEC standards (international guidelines that all floorcare manufacturers have to follow). When used in ‘Eco’ mode, the cordless 2 in 1 vacuum Pro 2 can run for an average of up to 40 minutes when used for above the floor cleaning; when used in ‘Max’ mode (recommended for tougher challenges), the average runtime is up to 20 minutes.Larger powered brush head – this ensures you can vacuum your entire home much faster as you’ll cover more area with every sweep. The brush bar can be easily taken off to properly clean it from tangled hair. This section explains how we calculate the claims we make in our advertising. Where we can, we test our products in accordance with IEC guidelines using standard IEC62885-2 - these are official international standards for comparing vacuum cleaners. If there are no suitable test standards, we use real homes and record real-life data. Data sample size varies - we test in at least 10 different households and up to 50 if it is practical to do so. Finally, if neither of the above is suitable, we will set up laboratory testing to try and replicate real-life usage. How do Gtech work out Pro's bag usage per year? It’s important to us that we use the best possible components in our products. That’s why we’ve gone for LG Lithium-ion batteries - they’re reliable and robust, two of the most important elements for professional users. Fused together at the top and sides, our hygienic vacuum bags are robust. To ensure you get the most out of each, the airflow continually pushes dirt into the bag as you vacuum. And as they avoid tearing during disposal, your home stays dust-free. You'll get the same cleaning performance as a bagless vacuum, but with extra efficiency due to not having a cyclone bin which requires additional power.
