Verdict

The Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ is a high-tech 4-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring Smart Exploration 8.0 laser navigation, a reliable suction power up to 2700 Pa, and an integrated auto-empty station with a 4.1L dust bag capacity that provides up to 60 days of hands-free maintenance. Key advantages include its Smart Aqua Power system with four adjustable water-flow levels, intelligent multi-floor mapping with customizable no-go zones via a smartphone app, voice assistant compatibility, and automatic suction boosting on carpets. Its main drawbacks include a relatively small onboard 0.3L water reservoir and 0.26L internal dustbin that require the robot to empty frequently, a basic passive mopping mechanism that cannot scrub away stubborn stains, and occasionally unstable app connectivity.

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a dustbin capacity of 260 mL, compared with 400 mL for the average robot vacuum.
  • 130 mL smaller water tank
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a water tank capacity of 110 mL, compared with 240 mL for the average robot vacuum.
  • More basic obstacle avoidance
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ uses LiDAR obstacle avoidance, while the average robot vacuum uses hybrid.
    What it is: Obstacle avoidance technology uses sensors, cameras, LiDAR or structured light to detect objects and route around them.
    When it matters: More capable systems reduce contact with cables, shoes, pet bowls and other clutter, so the robot needs fewer rescues.

    Importance: HIGH

  • Does not support no-mop zones
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ does not support no-mop zones, while the average robot vacuum supports configurable no-mop zones.
    What it is: No-mop zones are mapped areas that the robot avoids while its mop is attached or wet.
    When it matters: They protect rugs and moisture-sensitive floors when the robot cannot lift its mop high enough.

    Importance: LOW

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ does not support no-mop zones, while the average robot vacuum supports configurable no-mop zones.
  • Does not have a floating main brush
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ does not have a floating main brush, while the average robot vacuum has a floating main brush.
    What it is: A floating main brush moves vertically to stay in contact with uneven floors and carpet.
    When it matters: Better floor contact can improve pickup when the robot crosses joints, rugs or changes in floor height.

    Importance: LOW

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ does not have a floating main brush, while the average robot vacuum has a floating main brush.
  • 1,300 Pa weaker suction
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ delivers 2,700 Pa, compared with 4,000 Pa for the average robot vacuum.
    What it is: Maximum suction power is the highest pressure the vacuum motor is rated to produce, measured in pascals.
    When it matters: Higher figures can help lift embedded debris from carpet, but brush design and airflow also determine real cleaning performance.

    Importance: HIGH

  • 2.33 kg heavier robot
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ weighs 5.9 kg, compared with 3.53 kg for the average robot vacuum.
    What it is: Weight is the mass of the robot itself, excluding its dock.
    When it matters: A lighter robot is easier to carry between floors, while weight has little direct connection to cleaning quality.

    Importance: LOW

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ weighs 5.9 kg, compared with 3.53 kg for the average robot vacuum.5.86 kg vs 3.53 kg
  • 140 mL smaller dustbin
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a dustbin capacity of 260 mL, compared with 400 mL for the average robot vacuum.
    What it is: Dustbin capacity is the amount of dry debris the bin inside the robot can hold.
    When it matters: A larger bin needs emptying less often, which matters in homes with pets unless an auto-empty dock is included.

    Importance: MEDIUM

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a dustbin capacity of 260 mL, compared with 400 mL for the average robot vacuum.260 mL vs 400 mL
  • 2 mm less threshold clearance
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ climbs thresholds up to 18 mm, compared with 20 mm for the average robot vacuum.
    What it is: Maximum threshold height is the tallest doorway strip or floor transition the robot is rated to climb.
    When it matters: It determines whether the robot can move between rooms without becoming stuck at raised thresholds.

    Importance: MEDIUM

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ climbs thresholds up to 18 mm, compared with 20 mm for the average robot vacuum.18 mm vs 20 mm
  • 130 mL smaller water tank
    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a water tank capacity of 110 mL, compared with 240 mL for the average robot vacuum.
    What it is: Water tank capacity is the amount of mopping water carried inside the robot.
    When it matters: A larger tank can cover more hard floor before refilling, though dock-based automatic refill can reduce this limitation.

    Importance: LOW

    Rowenta RR8585WH X-Plorer Serie 75 S+ has a water tank capacity of 110 mL, compared with 240 mL for the average robot vacuum.110 mL vs 240 mL
