Verdict

The IAB XT1801 is a 4-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner featuring a 160W motor that generates a maximum suction power of 17,000 Pa (with a 9,000 Pa minimum mode) and a 0.6-litre dust capacity. Powered by a 2200mAh removable lithium-ion battery, it operates quietly at a noise level under 65 dB and includes an integrated 5-layer HEPA filtration system, a 270-degree rotating floor brush with a bright LED light, and a visual charge indicator. Main pros include its highly lightweight 1.5 kg ergonomic frame, space-saving wall-mount storage, and an impressive runtime of up to 50 minutes on its lowest setting. However, notable cons include a long 4-to-5-hour battery recharge time, a significantly reduced 25-minute runtime when running continuously on its maximum suction mode, and the risk of irreversible battery damage if used while plugged into the charger.

What customers like about IAB XT1801?

  • Extremely lightweight and portable (around 1.5kg), making it comfortable to use for extended periods and for carrying up or down stairs.
  • Good value for money as a budget-friendly option.
  • Equipped with a useful LED headlight on the brush head for visibility in dark corners and under furniture.
  • Very quiet operation during use (around 68 dB).
  • Self-standing design allows it to stand upright independently when not in use.
  • Easy to clean with a bagless, one-touch emptying canister and washable HEPA filters.
  • Versatile 4-in-1 design with multiple practical attachments for cleaning cars, sofas, and tight spaces.

What customers dislike about IAB XT1801?

  • Noticeable loss of suction power as the battery drains or when the charge drops below halfway.
  • Battery drains quickly when used on the high-suction maximum mode.
  • Not ideal for medium-to-heavy carpets; the brush roller is too soft to effectively agitate and pull up debris.
  • The telescopic handle and overall design can feel too short or small for taller users, requiring them to bend over while cleaning.
  • Deep-cleaning and taking apart the internal filter assembly can be overly complicated, and the instruction manual provides poor guidance on it.
