Verdict

The Rowenta X-Plorer Serie 220 (RR9465WH) is a rectangular robot vacuum and mop featuring a powerful 5,000 Pa suction motor, smart laser-and-camera navigation, and an extra-large electro-brush designed for deep cleaning across all floor types. Its key advantages include its right-angled design for superior corner and edge cleaning, a large vibrating mop system that aggressively tackles dried stains, an impressive 120-minute battery runtime capable of covering up to 120 square metres, and the ability to detect and avoid low-profile obstacles like cables or shoes without requiring prior room tidying. However, its drawbacks include a relatively small 0.35-litre on-board dust container, a somewhat noisy 70 dB operating volume, occasional software stability issues with the companion app, and the lack of an automatic self-emptying disposal station, meaning the dust cup must be cleared manually.
