Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Rowenta RR8277 X-Plorer Serie 45

  • The compact, discreet body is about 8 cm high and cleans under furniture.
  • Its Aqua Force 2-in-1 system vacuums and mops simultaneously.
  • The smartphone app and voice assistants make control easy.
  • Reliable infrared sensors prevent collisions, stair falls, and other accidents.

What customers don't like about Rowenta RR8277 X-Plorer Serie 45

  • Limited suction sometimes leaves debris and supplements rather than replaces deep vacuuming.
  • The relatively small 0.25-litre dust bin requires frequent emptying.
  • Loose cables and other floor objects can become tangled.
  • The mobile app occasionally has connectivity problems.

Verdict

The Rowenta RR8277 X-Plorer Serie 45 is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring a compact 8 cm height, a 0.44-liter dust capacity, and an Aqua Force system that wipes floors while vacuuming. Key specifications include a high-performance lithium-ion battery delivering up to 150 minutes of runtime per charge, 3 navigation modes (Auto, Auto Express, and Wall-Follow), and a 3-in-1 cleaning design with a motorized turbo central brush and two side brushes. Major advantages include comprehensive smartphone app control, compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and basic infrared, bumper, and drop sensors to avoid falls. However, notable drawbacks include its reliance on a less efficient random navigation system rather than advanced laser mapping, a lack of virtual walls or customizable no-go zones, and a lack of systematic route mapping which can cause it to miss areas or get stuck in complex spaces.
