Columnist Mieka Smiles has declared her new £165 Gtech AirRAM MK2 K9 vacuum cleaner a 'life-changing' purchase that has transformed her cleaning habits. Writing for the Daily Express, Smiles described the device as having the potential to 'fundamentally change' her, despite admitting she is 'prone to the odd overexaggeration'.
Replacing the Henry Hoover
Smiles explained that her previous vacuum, a hand-me-down Henry Hoover from her in-laws, had begun to get her down. She described the traditional model as heavy, cumbersome, and prone to rolling about and clunking into things while being dragged into position, tying the user 'up in knots'.
The columnist noted that while Henry and Hetty models are a 'little stalwart' and a 'vacuuming powerhouse' suited to retail or public spaces, a 'seamless and sweat-free Hoovering session' was out of the question in a house.
A lightweight alternative
After what she called 'dogged research - OK, a quick scan of Amazon reviews', Smiles ordered the Gtech AirRAM MK2 K9. She also mentioned that her mother, referred to as 'Nana Dot', gave the selection her seal of approval.
Smiles praised the vacuum's pickup power and its lightweight design, which requires no strength to carry up the stairs. She highlighted its 40-minute chargeable battery life, which she said is enough time to clean the entire house, and noted the convenience of emptying the dust bin in one satisfying move with no bag changes.
At the age of 44, Smiles concluded that her 'cleaning era beckons', and suggested readers could follow her tip for a similar transformation.
