I’ll explain those in more detail in today’s comprehensive review of the GTech AirRAM Platinum.

So, let’s get to it!

OK, let’s get started…

The AirRAM series started off a few years ago and has since seen some important upgrades, as well as the addition of the GTech AirRAM K9 MK2. That one was specifically designed to cope with pet hair and stubborn dirt.

I’ll compare the other models from the AirRAM series to the Platinum a bit later. For now, let’s take a look at the best features for the Platinum model.

Key Features

Let’s start by looking at the key features at a glance:

Anti Hair Wrap Technology

Dirt-to-bin technology

GTech has always impressed me with its clever design, and the GTech AirRAM Platinum is no exception. They have designed the bin to be just 2cm from the main suction area, so the dirt and hair only have to travel a short distance.

This means that without any cylinders, cyclones, or tubes to clog up with hair, the Platinum has improved power and requires less maintenance. So, you can finally say goodbye to untangling messy knots of hair. 

AirLOC Technology

Patented Technology

The AirLOC technology was invented and patented by GTech, and it has made their vacuums much better at picking up both large debris and smaller dust. 

It works by collecting large debris as you push it forward, and then it locks right before the backstroke so it can pick up embedded hair and stubborn dust. 

1-Hour Runtime

22V li-ion battery

The main reason people are still staying away from cordless vacuums is they don’t usually last too long. But that changes with the GTech AirRAM Platinum. 

Utilizing an enhanced 22V lithium-ion battery, the Platinum model has an excellent runtime of up to 1 hour. And equally impressive is that it can fully charge from 0% to 100% in less than 3 hours.

To avoid being caught off-guard with an empty battery, there’s also a handy LED display showing you how much charge you have left.

Clever Design

Weighs only 3.3kg

With a weight of just 3.3kg, the AirRAM Platinum is very easy to maneuver around your home without tiring yourself too much. 

It also has a handy feature called Forward Inertia Drive that the vacuum propels itself forwards as you push it, so you will find that using it is almost effortless.

While you clean, the LED headlights along the entire front will light up the way and help you spot any dust you might have missed. 

Once you’re done using it, you can just lower the upper handle and store it away in a pretty tight spot as it’s not too big. 

Now that you’re more familiar with how the GTech AirRAM Platinum works, let’s compare it to other AirRAM models so you can decide which one’s the right for you.

GTech AirRAM Model Comparison

As you can see, there’s not much difference in the key specifications, but the new and innovative features, like Anti Hair Wrap and Forward Inertia Drive, as well as the increased runtime, make the Platinum well worth the price increase.
