Verdict

The Rowenta X-Pert 6.80 Flex is a lightweight 4-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by an 18.5V removable lithium-ion battery and a 100W motor, delivering up to 60 minutes of runtime in Eco mode. Key characteristics include a flexible wand that bends to reach under low furniture without crouching, a 0.55-litre bagless dust container, and a motorised floor head equipped with integrated LED lights for superior dust visibility across various floor types. Main advantages highlight its highly agile design, three distinct suction settings (Eco, Surface, and Boost trigger), an intuitive digital display, and an independent "Stop & Go" parking position that allows the tube and brush roll to stand completely upright on their own. On the downside, the vacuum requires a lengthy 4-hour recharge time, experiences significantly reduced battery life when operating continuously in its high-power Boost mode, and the cyclonic filter assembly requires frequent cleaning to maintain optimal suction power.
