Pros and cons

According to our vacuum expert

You can vacuum carpet and non-delicate hard floors with the motorized multi-surface tool.
The mini turbo brush makes removing pet hairs from your couch and other upholstered furniture extra easy.
The 0.9L dust collector capacity is larger than most vacuums, so you can vacuum the top floor after you've finished the bottom floor.
A parquet brush isn't included, so the vacuum is less suitable for vacuuming delicate floors.

Description

With the Rowenta X-Force Flex 12.60 RH98A8, you can vacuum your top and bottom floor without emptying the dust collector in between. That's because the collector has a 0.9L capacity, which is more than most stick vacuums. Vacuum tiles, rugs, and low-pile carpet with the included multi-surface brush. Thanks to the flexible rod, you can also vacuum under low furniture well. Have pets? Easily remove their hairs from your upholstered furniture with the mini turbo brush. Crevices and baseboards can easily be made dust-free with the crevice tool. The stick vacuum has a 45-minute battery life and is fully charged again after 3 hours.

My daily savior in lint and crumb trails...

Ease
No cord
No way to put it down while vacuuming.

Rowenta RH98A8 — My daily lint savior and crumb vacuum for the teenage cave!

Since I've been happy with my first Rowenta stick vacuum for years, I decided to get another one for the upstairs. Yes, it sounds decadent — but with two cats, two dogs, and a teenage son (with a crumb trail leading straight to his teenage cave), it's a daily vacuuming festival here.

This RH98A8 is ideal for quick vacuuming moments, just before guests ring the doorbell... No hassle with cords or back-breaking movements. The suction is fantastic: it slurps up cat litter, sand, fur, and teenage crumbs like it's nothing.

My personal favorite feature? The click-on handle! I no longer have to get down on my knees to reach under the cupboard. Hallelujah!

Emptying the dust bin is a breeze, as is cleaning the filter. Everything is so user-friendly that I dare to dream... Maybe, just maybe, one day my teenager will voluntarily pick it up to keep his teenage cave manageable. Would that be the first real evolutionary leap?

In short: this vacuum cleaner makes my life a little cleaner and easier. If I had had it sooner, I might even have done a little dance with it, like Freddy Mercury in that famous music video...

Pleasantly surprised

This vacuum cleaner may be a bit larger and heavier than others (dyson), but it is certainly not inferior in terms of suction power and use. Best value for money

Very happy with it!!

Cordless
Battery life (smooth floor)
Steel to bend
Battery life (carpet)

Now in use for a few weeks and highly recommended! We have a spacious living room and 2 dogs, but we can vacuum the downstairs in one go. Upstairs we have carpet, then the battery is empty much faster. Happy with the accessories and that it can be used without a long handle.
