How long does the battery last on a full charge?

In standard mode, the battery provides up to 40 minutes of runtime. High-power mode reduces runtime to about 20 minutes.

Can I use the AirRam AR20 on carpets?

The vacuum won't start. What should I check?

Ensure the battery is charged and properly inserted. Check the power switch and that the dirt cup is correctly locked in place. If still not working, contact support.

How do I change the brush roller?

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove the base plate screws, take out the old roller, and insert a new one. Reattach the plate. Brush roller replacement is recommended every 6-12 months.

Is the battery replaceable?

Yes, the battery is user-replaceable. Order a replacement battery from G-Technology or authorized retailers. Remove the old battery by pressing the release tabs.

What does the 'AirRam' technology do?

AirRam technology uses a motorized brush roll that agitates dirt while the cyclonic suction separates debris from the air for consistent performance.

How often should I charge the battery?

Charge after each use or when the battery indicator shows low. Avoid leaving the battery fully discharged for extended periods. For storage, keep it partially charged.

Can I use the vacuum as a handheld?
