Good deal
This price is lower than the model could usually be bought for anywhere, and lower than on most days of the past month.
5% below the usual lowest price at any shop, and cheaper than on at least three in four of the last 30 days.
Only 7.85 centimetres tall, the Rowenta X-Plorer Serie 70+ RR8497 sits 1.8 centimetres lower than is usual where a station relieves the robot of its dust, so it reaches under sofas and cabinets that turn the others away.
The lowest price today at a shop that delivers to you, delivery included. A price with an asterisk comes from a shop abroad, and its delivery cost is our own estimate.

What you can expect from the Rowenta X-Plorer Serie 70+ RR8497
Lowest price today · all shops€ 189
Robot height7.9 cm
Only 7.85 centimetres tall, the Rowenta X-Plorer Serie 70+ RR8497 sits 1.8 centimetres lower than is usual where a station relieves the robot of its dust, so it reaches under sofas and cabinets that turn the others away.
Low also describes what it climbs. It gets over 10 millimetres and the ordinary figure is 20 millimetres, so the metal strip across a doorway or a deep rug's border can hold it back. The bag in its station is a 4.1-litre one, 1.1 litres above the norm, while the motor's listed 2,300 Pa is far from the 6,000 Pa of the group's middle.
Based on the maker's specifications and our price data. None of our test sources has tested this model.
Rowenta X-Plorer Serie 70+ RR8497 specifications ?
How the mop is built: flat pads, a vibrating pad, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
When it matters
Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
When it matters less
If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.
The noise in decibels while cleaning, in the setting its source names: makers mostly give the standard setting, shops often the highest. 65 dB is like a vacuum at half power, 55 dB like a conversation. Emptying by the dock is louder and listed on its own.

Lowest 20 dBHighest 80 dBMiddle 65 dB
Higher than 628 of the 753 models we track.
When it matters
Cleaning while you work, sleep or watch TV at home.
Open-plan living spaces where sound carries.
When it matters less
When it runs while nobody is home the figure hardly matters.
