Verdict

The Rowenta RH2037WO X-Force Flex 9.60 is a cordless bagless stick vacuum cleaner powered by an 18V lithium-ion battery and a 250W digital motor that delivers a constant suction power of up to 100 Air Watts. Key characteristics and pros include its exceptionally lightweight design—weighing 2.5 kg overall and just 1.1 kg in handheld mode—alongside an automated system that adjusts suction by floor type, a 99.9% filtration HEPA system, a Smart Control display for real-time tracking, a motorized floor nozzle with LED lights, and a unique flexible tube joint that allows effortless cleaning under low furniture without bending. It offers up to 45 minutes of runtime on a 4-hour charge using its 3-speed settings plus a boost trigger, and features a 0.4-litre cyclonic dust container. However, notable cons include its relatively small 0.4L dust tank capacity that requires frequent emptying, a loud operational noise level of up to 83 dB, a significantly reduced battery life when operating continuously in its high-power boost mode, and the fact that the stick design cannot stand upright on its own.
