Verdict

The Rowenta X-Force Flex 9.60 Complete RH2099WO is a 250W cordless stick vacuum cleaner that features a 18.5V lithium-ion battery delivering up to 100 Air Watts of suction power in boost mode, an automatic surface-detection system, and 99.9% HEPA filtration. Its main advantages include an ultra-lightweight design weighing just 1.1 kg in handheld mode (2.1 kg total), a flexible joint tube for effortless cleaning under low furniture, a 45-minute runtime, a Smart Control digital display, a 180° rotatable LED floor head, and a comprehensive 7-piece accessory kit. However, its small 0.44-liter dust container requires frequent emptying, and it produces a relatively high noise level of 83 dB during operation.
