Verdict

The Rowenta X-Pert 6.60 Essential is a 2-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by a 100W motor providing 23 AirWatts of suction power and utilizing cyclonic separation with a HEPA filtration system. Key characteristics include an 18V removable lithium-ion battery delivering up to 45 minutes of runtime on a 4-hour charge, a 0.55-litre bagless dust canister, and a motorized brush head equipped with LED headlights. Its primary advantages are a highly maneuverable, lightweight design weighing just 1.4 kg in handheld mode, automatic Eco and Surface speeds with a Boost trigger, and a convenient "Stop & Go" self-standing tube position. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively loud noise level of 85 dB, a drop in battery runtime to around 27 minutes when used in full stick vacuum mode, and an inability to pick up larger debris effectively.
