Our verdict
Gtech suits UK households who want floor care bought outright rather than paid for on a plan, with the range opening at £69.99. The trade-off is a self empty dock listed as no and a runtime of 80 minutes, so the machine stays where it is left.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of £69.99 sits below the €96.46 median entry price across the brands tracked here.
- Machine types across upright, stick and wet dry let a single brand cover uprights, sticks, wet-dry and handheld jobs.
- Roller mopping is listed as roller, so wet floors are handled within the same purchase.
- A spare parts shop is listed as yes, which keeps an ageing machine going instead of retiring it.
Cons
- A self empty dock is listed as no, so the bin gets emptied by hand after each run rather than by a base station.
- upright, stick and wet dry carries no robot-vacuum, which rules Gtech out for anyone shopping for an automated cleaner.
- Gtech serves a single market, GB, so entry pricing and warranty cover are tied to that country only.
- Warranty cover runs 2 years, so longer term cover rests on parts bought separately from the spare parts shop.
Who it suits
- Households in the UK replacing a vacuum outright and paying at purchase rather than by subscription.
- Shoppers who want wet-dry and handheld from a single brand, since upright, stick and wet dry covers both.
- Owners of an ageing machine who would rather order a brush or a filter, as the spare parts shop is listed as yes.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers set on a robot vacuum: robot vacuum, stick and upright includes robot-vacuum and upright, stick and wet dry does not.
- Shoppers who want an automated cleaner and a handheld from one maker, a combination Daewoo Electricals lists in robot vacuum, stick and upright.
- Buyers who want only robot and wet-dry machines, which is the extent of the Philips floor care line, robot vacuum and wet dry.
How it compares on our data
Entry and flagship pricing tell different stories. On entry price, Gtech ranks 18 out of 65 brands, which places its cheapest cordless machine in the lower part of this comparison. On flagship price, the ranking is 36 out of 66, a little further down still. The distance between those two positions is the part worth holding on to: Gtech competes hard where buyers first start shopping and gives ground as the budget grows.
Core features
The specification is where Gtech is most concrete. Runtime is listed at 80 minutes, the bin holds 800 ml and the uprights stand 112 cm tall, which matters for storage in a cupboard or under a stair. A self empty dock is listed as no, so this is a hand-empty design rather than a base station product. The spare parts shop is listed as yes, meaning worn parts and consumables can be ordered on their own instead of pushing you toward a replacement. Warranty cover runs 2 years across the range.
Plans and prices
Gtech sells its cordless vacuum range outright, so there are no plan tiers or renewal steps to track. The entry end of the range starts at £69.99, and the flagship machine sits at £429.98. Because both figures are purchase prices, the amount at entry is the amount you commit to, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest machine is the only budgeting decision here. Buyers starting at the bottom of the range find £69.99 an easy commitment, while £429.98 places the flagship well up the shelf against rival brands.
The company behind it
The brand is run by Grey Technology Limited, whose headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. The company has traded since 2001, and the range built around that history covers cordless stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld cleaning rather than robotics. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so buyers can reach a person by phone or email as well as self-serve through the help centre. Warranty cover and support sit with the same UK entity, which keeps accountability for problems in a single place.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Gtech cordless vacuum cost?+
The entry point for the cordless range is £69.99, and the flagship sits at £429.98. Both are purchase prices rather than plan fees, so the gap between those figures is the whole budgeting decision. Reference models across the range include the Duo Cordless Vacuum Bundle and the AirFOX Platinum.
Does a Gtech vacuum empty its own dock?+
A self empty dock is listed as no, so the bin has to be emptied by hand after each run. Shoppers who want the machine to handle that part of the job are better served by a robot vacuum line such as Ewbank, which lists robot-vacuum among robot vacuum, stick and upright.
How long does the battery last on one charge?+
Runtime is listed at 80 minutes, with a bin of 800 ml and a standing height of 112 cm. That is a cordless upright setup where you move from room to room rather than trail a cable, so the figure covers a solid pass rather than an entire house.
Can a Gtech machine mop as well as sweep?+
The mop type is listed as roller, so mopping is part of the wet-dry offering rather than a bolt-on accessory. upright, stick and wet dry puts wet-dry next to upright, stick and handheld, which keeps the range compact for buyers who want a single brand to cover every kind of floor.
Where does Gtech sell, and can buyers get help locally?+
Gtech sells in the United Kingdom, and its headquarters is in the United Kingdom. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone, email and a self-service help centre. That means the prices quoted for the range, and the warranty attached to them, apply to that single market.
Does Gtech make robot vacuums?+
Not among upright, stick and wet dry, which covers upright, stick, wet-dry and handheld machines. For an automated cleaner that maps and returns to a dock, Ewbank and Daewoo Electricals both list robot-vacuum in robot vacuum, stick and upright and robot vacuum, stick and upright.
How does Gtech compare with rivals on price at both ends of the range?+
Gtech ranks 18 of 65 brands on entry price, which sits below the €96.46 median for entry prices across the site. On flagship price the ranking is 36 of 66, so the advantage holds at the cheap end rather than the expensive end.
Who is behind the Gtech brand?+
Gtech trades as Grey Technology Limited, is headquartered in the United Kingdom and dates back to 2001. The business makes floor care rather than a wider appliance line, with warranty cover of 2 years and a spare parts shop serving older machines.
