Verdict

The IAB WSD9221 is a 6-in-1 cordless stick and mop vacuum cleaner powered by a 160-watt brushless motor that operates on a 22.2V lithium-ion battery. Key technical characteristics include two suction levels peaking at 25,000 Pa, a 5-stage cyclone separation filtration system with a HEPA filter that captures 99.99% of dust, a 0.6-liter bagless dust container, and a 270-degree rotating motorized floor brush equipped with built-in LED headlights. Main pros include its versatile, lightweight design weighing only 1.5 kg (or 2.1 kg gross package weight), low operational noise at 68 dB, a user-friendly touchable LED display for monitoring battery status, and washable, removable filters and roller accessories that simplify maintenance. However, notable cons include its relatively short maximum runtime of 40 minutes on its lowest setting, a lengthy 4-hour recharge cycle, and the operational requirement to let the motor cool down for 10 to 20 minutes before storage.
