Verdict

The Rowenta RO3171 Power XXL is a corded, bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner equipped with a 450-watt EffiTech motor, an extra-large 4.5-liter dust capacity, and an advanced filtration system that captures up to 99.98% of dust particles. Its main advantages include a remarkably quiet operation at 70 dB, an expansive 11-meter cleaning radius enabled by an 8.4-meter power cord for managing spaces up to 95 m² without unplugging, and a hygienic Hygiene+ bag with a self-closing mechanism to avoid dust clouds. However, the vacuum lacks an electronic suction control interface on the body, relying instead on a basic manual mechanical air regulator on the handle to adjust airflow.
