The Gtech SW02 is a superb cordless vacumn cleaner. I would recommend it to anyone. It is very lightweight and cleans really well. I thought it was so good I bought one for a friend who had a stroke and couldn't manage her normal vacumn cleaner.
It has a small tray which pulls out so it is very easily emptied. The plastic guard at the front can be removed to clean right up to the surface which is useful for stair cleaning but to be honest it is rarely necessary to remove it. It cleans up broken glass, and even heavy things like metal screws.
The picture above shows it without a handle but it does come with an adjustable handle which easily alters for different heights The handle can be removed if required, and then it can be used as a hand held vac, for cleaning stairs on top of a sofa.
It is simple but very effective. It cleans very well right up until it runs out of charge. When it requires charging it needs aprox 12 hours and then it will clean continually for 45 mins. The only disadvantage is that if it is not emptied frequently it can leave a slight trail of dust. It is however easily vacumned back up again.
It is only very small and is easy to store. Measurements are approx 28cm length x 21 width x 6cm depth.
I have owned mine for 12months. Recently there do appear to be more brands on the market offering similar features but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to try them out, so I cannot compare them fairly.
It is not going to compete with the deep cleaning from many electric vacumn cleaners but it does a really good job and is excellent for busy people either as a top up or on its own used regularly. When I saw it advertised on television I was very sceptical but it is one of those purchases which I can truely say has been an excellent buy.
