Vacuum Cleaner
www.greytechnology.co.uk

Introduction
We have designed the HV01 cordless vacuum to take floorcare to a new level. After
spending thousands of development hours at our HQ in Spetchley, Worcestershire our
engineers produced V-technology, which is capable of delivering immense cleaning
performance right up to the edges of any room, on any surface. Combined with our
innovative ‘touch steering’ which allows the HV01 to change direction instantly, we believe
that we have produced the easiest to use and most stylish handheld vacuum cleaner on
the market today. Thank you for your purchasing your HV01 from Gtech, we hope you have
many happy hours using it.
