Honorable performance for the price
The main reason why the Rowenta X-Pert 6.60 Essential RH6837WO joins our comparison of the best stick vacuum cleaners is its value for money.
For an affordable price, it offers decent performance which is ideal for daily use in a small home.
For an entry-level stick vacuum cleaner, it performs well on most surfaces:
- Hard floors: It effectively vacuums dust, crumbs and animal hair from hard floors such as tiles, parquet and linoleum.
- Thin carpets: it is sufficient to clean thin carpets, but it may have difficulty on thick carpets.
We also like its practicality: the device is light and easy to handle and the motorized brush is equipped with an LED light which perfectly illuminates dark areas and leaves no dust behind.
What is the Rowenta model worth compared to the competition of the same price?
Suction | Autonomy | Getting started | Sound level | Interview | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rowenta X-Pert 6.60 Essential | 6 | 7 | 9 | 6 | 9 | |
Proscenic P12 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 4 | 5 | |
Dreame H11 Core | 8 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 7 |
In the same range, there are two models to which we can compare the Rowenta X-Pert 6.60 Essential: the Proscenic P12 and the Dreame H11 Core.
Overall, these devices fare better than Rowenta’s machine when it comes to suction performance. This is particularly the case on surfaces that are more difficult to vacuum, such as carpets and thick rugs, especially for the Proscenic P12.
In addition, the Dreame H11 Core stands out because it is the only one of the three to also allow floor washing.
What’s left of Rowenta’s model? Its maneuverability and practicality. It is light, has good battery life, and its LED guidance with the motorized brush is well thought out.
Rowenta, specialist in upright vacuum cleaners
Rowenta was founded in 1909 on the initiative of the German industrialist Robert Weintraud (whose name directly inspired the name of the brand).
From the 1960s, the manufacturer focused on vacuum cleaners. Models such as the Compact BS 600 or the Silence Force range are very successful.
Faced with competition, Rowenta is betting on innovation. Flexible tube (Force Flex), pissing and silent suction (Air Force), 2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaner (Powerline), etc. : there is no shortage of developments.
Today, Rowenta, which has passed the French flag, offers a wide range of stick vacuum cleaners to meet all needs and budgets and is positioned as a major player in this market.
