Introducing the GTech Power Sweeper SW20.
How does it shape up…? Find out in this independent review.
First up, some of the highlights…

Ease of Use

- Highly manoeuvrable
Trust
- 1 year warranty
- British Company

Is the Sweeper SW20 Right for you?
The SW20 is 1 of 3 power sweepers – SW02, SW20 and SW22.
A power sweeper is different to a vacuum because it sweeps rather than sucks.
The Power Floor on the other hand IS a vacuum. The latest release from GTech to be precise, as of writing in Autumn 2017.
There are also the AirRam and Multi cordless vacuum cleaners.
Why Choose Sweeper vs a Vacuum?
- They’re around 50% cheaper or more
- This one weights 1/2 as much (1.6kg)
- Highly compact
- Easy to use and quiet
- Requires no bag or filter
- Longer run time – 60 mins
What’s the Catch!?
Well you just don’t get the power that you get from a vacuum. Hoovering a home with lots of pet hair, debris and stubborn dirt requires a little more oomph.
The SW20 sweeper which I am reviewing here is good but not up to the same standard.
However…the customers who are using this do like it. They appreciate all the benefits explained above.
Especially for those who have light amounts of hoovering to do and prefer a quieter, lighter, more compact machine to do it with.
In My Opinion
A great buy for those who don’t have much heavy vacuuming to do.
It’s a very cost effective way to get the job done and on all floor types in your home.
It’s really efficient and getting to the edges of the carpet and around those awkward piece of furniture.

Advantages

Should you Buy it?
If you are looking for a very efficient and cheap way to vacuum, this is a great candidate.
The build quality is high and it’ll last for years to come.
GTech SW20 vs SW22 vs SW02
I have reviewed the SW22 and SW02 cordless power sweepers as well. What is the difference between them?
The SW22 Sweeper is the latest version, it’s lighter, lasts longer and takes less time to charge. It’s all down to the battery used; Lithium-ion instead of NiMH.
