Verdict

The Rowenta X-Force Flex 11.60 RH9879 is a 25.2V cordless stick vacuum cleaner featuring a DigitalForce motor that delivers a maximum suction power of 130 Air Watts alongside a spacious 0.9-litre dust capacity. Main characteristics and pros include its versatile 2-in-1 design that easily converts into a 1.8 kg handheld unit, an interactive LED control display featuring 3 power modes, a Deep Power LED Vision floor head, and a signature flexible joint tube that reaches up to 4 times farther under low furniture without requiring the user to bend over. It comes well-equipped for pet owners with an included mini turbo brush, offers up to 99.9% air filtration, and provides a 45-minute runtime in Eco mode with a 3-hour recharge cycle. However, some cons noted by users include a maximum noise level of 82 dB, a total stick weight of approximately 3.3 kg which can feel heavy during prolonged use, a non-telescopic extension rod, and an inability to stand vertically on its own without using the wall support base.
