Gtech HyLite 2 | Cordless Upright and Handheld Vacuum | Lightweight | Powerful AirLoc Technology | Bagged

Awesome, there's nothing else to say. But I'll say it anyway. Amazing carpet cleaner, suitable for a one - two bedroom house or flat if not more. I've had a pull along vacuum cleaner for around 20 years and it's still as powerful as the day I purchased it. But it became a hassle to get it out for my tiny one bedroom flat. I wanted something I could scoot around the flat, light weight, easy storage. Don't mind understand me, my pull along will always be here as it reaches the ceiling and nooks, but for that quick hoover around the flat this little compact Amazing vacuum does the job . Carpet, wooden floors , laminate flooring, furniture, stairs. This little vacuum does it all. Charge it and go, no annoying cable's to snag or trip over, noise level is a bit loud, but it should be , it sucks all the dust and bits .value for money. Despatch was very prompt. Would definitely buy another for a family member. Totally recommended

It really is lightweight, it is also very compact with the telescopic handle down. Not as loud as most electric motors of its size, certainly no need to turn the TV up. It picks up everything except large or heavy items that no one in their right mind would use a vacuum cleaner for in the first place, let alone one designed to clear up small bits between proper cleanings. The dust bags are tiny and my first one was full in no time, so I pulled the contents out and refitted it. I do wish I had worn a mask. Now it is nearly full again and the battery is still on its first charge. It shows how efficient it is but the seven bags per year suggestion is a bit disingenuous. To address a couple of other reviewers complaints: Re the two year warranty, there is a Gtech web address on the front of the machine for warranty information and problem solving. Go to them. The Amazon return date is for people who have changed their minds about an unopened product. Amazon will still replace faulty goods if you persevere and find out which desk customer services are currently hiding under. As for the roller popping out, a simple read of the manual will tell you that the roller is designed to pop out when it's overloaded with hair. The button will pop out and roller stops spinning as it becomes disengaged from the motor spindle. In my case the roller was overloaded so quickly that the clip holding it in was rotated and the roller jumped out of the side of the machine. Remove the roller from the machine by rotating the clip to "Unlocked", clean it using the supplied hair cutter and comb and then push it back into the machine and rotate the clip to "locked". It is battery powered. It uses a rechargeable lithium battery. You have to charge it when it "won't start up". Plug the supplied charger unit into a wall socket outlet. Plug the charger lead into the back of the battery. Wait until the green G on the battery stops flashing and shows solid green.

Bought the Gtech HyLite 2 just to have a small, lightweight vacuum cleaner for small clean ups. Its nice and compact. Powerful enough to pick up most crumbs etc. Battery gives around 20 minutes of cleaning, sufficient for a quick tidy up. It's better than our previous cordless vac from Beldray. Definitely not built for deep cleaning but it serves its purpose well. We have a different machine for that. Was purchased at £67.50 so very good value at that price. Most retailers are still £150.

I love this device, I doubt it would cope well with a shedding pet or messy children, but keeps my carpet and wood floors clean enough. It is so light and easy to store as the handle collapses down. I can do the whole house on a single charge.

It is lightweight so very easy to do a quick vacuum all over the house including stairs, so I am glad to have it. BUt it does have downsides - it clogs up very quickly with long hair so I have to unclog the brush every time it is used (always at least once per house clean) - obviously this would not be a problem for a household with short hair. The bag is very small so needs emptying or replacing regularly. It gets full after one or two full house cleans - so I empty it every time I use it and re-use the bag - or it would cost me a fortune in bags. I do like it, but it should come with a lot more bags AND replacement bags should be cheaper. It needs a long hair guard. I would not buy it again because of these problems.

This is the second one we’ve had, the last one gave up the ghost after Five years of good work. These are very good with cat hair and also easy to maintain. Also very helpful when needing help from Gtech.

Product arrived on time, very easy to assemble, went to charge the battery but instead of flashing green it was flashing red. According to the manual it said that I needed to ring Gtech support. They said that the battery was faulty and were sending me a new one which would arrive the next day. It did indeed arrive the next day and when I plugged it in this time there was no light at all! Rang Gtech (again) spoke to a very unhelpful advisor who I felt didn't want to be troubled by me, she said that it wasn't the battery, it was the charger, so she's going to send me a new one but it will take 7/10 days before it arrives, why I said that means I can't use it! She then talked down to me and said that this time she'll have it courier delivered for the next day, but she insisted on saying that she wouldn't do that again, is she expecting it to still not work? I then received an email confirming part delivery but she sent to the wrong address! So, back on the phone again to speak to someone else who "hopefully" has got it right and the charger will turn up here today, but I'm not holding my breath! Cleaner was delivered Thursday (11 April) and I'm still waiting to be able to use it, Saturday (13 April), I can't actually review the cleaner because I can't use it yet, but my review is, I hope that it finally works but Gtech Customer Support is appalling and would not recommend at all UPDATE New battery did arrive and yes the machine now works (hooray!) Actually it’s a very good little vacuum cleaner, very light and from what I’ve seen so far I’m very pleased HOWEVER I am not changing my score, as no matter how good your product is having bad customer support is not acceptable. I think that if you happen to be lucky enough to get a fully working machine and never have a need to contact Gtech then you’ll be very pleased but if you do need to contact them then good luck - you’ll need it! FURTHER UPDATE 24 April, the handle has broken, will not not lock into the upright position! Spoke to Gtech Customer Support who said that they will send be a new machine, am I really that unlucky?

Bought this cordless vacuum for my disabled mother. She is very impressed with the strong pick up. It folds neatly away and it is extremely lightweight. It does have disposable dust bags but they hold quite a bit and are cheap to buy.

In general ok for light hoovering,came with an English plug no adapter included for France
