Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

my search for the Holy Grail of vacuums is over
There has always been one thing or another about any vacuum cleaner I have owned (and I am much too embarrassed to say how many there have been) that has made me unhappy with it. I hate vacuuming to begin with, and since we live near the beach and have a Golden Retriever, I have no choice but to do it often. Dealing with long cords and vacuums that were heavy, unwieldy and loud made vacuuming even more of a pain than it already was. I know, I know, that makes me sound like a spoiled princess, but I'm trying to be honest. Anyway, this vacuum is LIGHT, QUIET, VERY AGILE and CORDLESS. Proof that there IS a God, right? It is of course not quite as powerful as the corded deluxe ones, but my housekeeping standards are not particularly high, so I don't care as long as it gets up most of the sand and fur, which it definitely does.

Thanks, Gtech, I LOVE this vacuum cleaner.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE OR THE CLAIMS
Editing my initial review (which is still below this revision), on September 16, 2013: So, the description here at Amazon for this vacuum has been changed from "NO MESS" to "LESS MESS." Much better description, as there is plenty of mess to clean up inside the vacuum dirt collection tray area. Also, a price drop, from $350 to $299.95. Over at Brookstone's Website, the "NO MESS" description has also been removed and changed to "Less Mess." I feel the fact the "NO MESS" description has been removed validates my original review. And I thank Brookstone for coming clean (no pun intended). And for those who accused me of lacking credibility with my review because it doesn't say "Amazon Verified Purchase," I'd like to reiterate here that I purchased this vacuum direct from Brookstone and not here at Amazon because at the time of purchase Brookstone had a coupon available, which lowered the price for me a bit. I still own and use the vacuum.

Original Review:

This vacuum...

Like it a lot
Not having to drag around an electrical cord is fantastic. The swiveling handle makes negotiating corners and tight spots easier. The bag-less dirt collection system saves money. The only thing that I think is not so good is the noisy motor which does not run as smoothly as possible. Glad I got it.
