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. 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 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 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. 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.

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. 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 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. 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. 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?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 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. 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.

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

Some homes with rigorous cleaning routines and 4 inhabitants (and pets!) filled their bag in around 3 weeks; others used the same bag for a couple of months. We chose a wide range of household styles and cleaning routines to replicate those of real-life customers.
