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

Product Information

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. 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 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. 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.

Low maintenance

The bright LED lights across the main head were our favourite feature overall though. They really made a difference when cleaning by illuminating dirt and dust that we’d otherwise easily miss under our sofas and beds. Performance

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.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. 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. 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. Sturdier design – straight out of the box, you can feel that the design is much more thought of in this model, and the whole vacuum feels much better as a whole. 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.

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. 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.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.

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. However, they were satisfied with the performance and repurposed the vacuum for other areas, and used a stronger vacuum for pet hair.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.
