The Rowenta X-Clean 5 vacuum cleaner is currently available for 249.99 euros on Amazon, offering a 100 euro discount and a 29% reduction from its original price of 349.99 euros. This price was previously seen during the summer sales in early July. The X-Clean 5 is an upgraded version of the X-Clean 4 and introduces a new feature: a roller that dries with hot air at 60 degrees Celsius, which the earlier model lacked. It is specifically designed for homes with mostly hard floors, such as tiles, where people often use both a vacuum and a mop. However, it is not ideal for homes with carpets or lots of low furniture, as it cannot easily move underneath them. The X-Clean 5 cleans and rinses in one pass, using a roller that spins at 450 revolutions per minute while collecting debris into a dirty water tank. It also has a self-cleaning cycle that takes about 90 seconds to rinse and dry the brush with hot air. The device includes a bilateral brush that cleans both sides of surfaces, making it useful for cleaning skirting boards and corners. It also features an Auto mode that detects the amount of dirt and adjusts its power accordingly. An LED light helps reveal dust and stains in dark areas, while the screen and voice assistance provide real-time updates on the device's status. Compared to some of its competitors, like the Tineco Floor One i7 Fold, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Dreame T16 Pro Heat, the X-Clean 5 is less maneuverable. These other models can navigate under furniture and use hot water up to 90 degrees Celsius. The X-Clean 5 has a dirty water tank with a capacity of 0.44 liters, which may need to be emptied during a cleaning session in a larger apartment. It offers 50 minutes of runtime in Eco mode, but this time is reduced when using the Max mode. The X-Clean 5 is best suited for households where floors get dirty quickly, such as those with young children or high foot traffic. It is not intended for use on carpets or rugs. The current price of 249.99 euros represents a good deal, though not an unprecedented offer. Users should confirm that the price is still valid at the time of purchase.
