Pros and cons

According to our vacuum expert

  • You can vacuum carpet and non-delicate hard floors with the motorized multi-surface tool.
  • The mini turbo brush makes removing pet hairs from your couch and other upholstered furniture extra easy.
  • The 0.9L dust collector capacity is larger than most vacuums, so you can vacuum the top floor after you've finished the bottom floor.
  • A parquet brush isn't included, so the vacuum is less suitable for vacuuming delicate floors.

Description

With the Rowenta X-Force Flex 12.60 RH98A8, you can vacuum your top and bottom floor without emptying the dust collector in between. That's because the collector has a 0.9L capacity, which is more than most stick vacuums. Vacuum tiles, rugs, and low-pile carpet with the included multi-surface brush. Thanks to the flexible rod, you can also vacuum under low furniture well. Have pets? Easily remove their hairs from your upholstered furniture with the mini turbo brush. Crevices and baseboards can easily be made dust-free with the crevice tool. The stick vacuum has a 45-minute battery life and is fully charged again after 3 hours.

Very handy and practical vacuum cleaner

  • Automatic mode that adapts to the surface
  • Runs very smoothly
  • Foldable stem clicks open and closed easily
  • Heavy to hold

This stick vacuum cleaner is a dream! I find it a thousand times more convenient than my previous vacuum cleaner where I always had to pull a tube, container and cord behind me. With this vacuum cleaner I can easily go under the table and cupboards due to the foldable handle and I can quickly clean between chair legs because the thing can rotate super sharply. With 1 click you fold the handle 90° and when you pull it up again, it clicks into place again and you have your long handle again to continue. The battery lasts long enough to clean the living room, kitchen, veranda and stairwell in one go (and even longer). The only downside for me is that the handle on which the dust container hangs is heavy. I feel that when vacuuming. The automatic mode makes up for it completely. It adapts to the surface. This way I can suddenly clean carpets that I couldn't clean at all with my previous vacuum cleaner. Top device!

Pleasantly surprised

This vacuum cleaner may be a bit larger and heavier than others (dyson), but it is certainly not inferior in terms of suction power and use. Best value for money

Very happy with it!!

  • Cordless
  • Battery life (smooth floor)
  • Steel to bend
  • Battery life (carpet)

Now in use for a few weeks and highly recommended! We have a spacious living room and 2 dogs, but we can vacuum the downstairs in one go. Upstairs we have carpet, then the battery is empty much faster. Happy with the accessories and that it can be used without a long handle.
