Verdict

The Rowenta RO4B50 Compact Power XXL Animal is a corded, bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner powered by a 900-watt low-consumption motor and an advanced cyclonic 3-stage filtration system that captures 99.98% of fine dust particles. Designed specifically for pet owners, it highlights an impressive 2.5-litre dust container capacity within a sleek, lightweight frame, an 8.80-metre cleaning radius, and a mini turbo brush specialized for removing pet hair. Key pros include exceptional suction power on carpets, highly hygienic dust bin emptying, a compact design for easy storage, and extensive accessories like the parquet brush. However, notable cons include an operating noise level of up to 75 dB, occasional difficulty with steering or stability, a plastic construction that feels budget-friendly, and a shorter 6.2-metre power cable that requires frequent socket switching.
