Robot vacuuming and mopping in front of stairs

The future is now: autonomous cleaning

Simply start our first-class robot vacuums and mops while you're out and about via the mobile app and return to a spotlessly clean home. Our robot series delivers outstanding performance and advanced technology. Using high-tech LiDAR laser navigation, our robots first create a floor plan of your home. Thanks to their precise sensors, they always know exactly where they are, how to manoeuvre around objects in the room and where to turn to avoid stairs during subsequent cleaning runs. Our RCV series does the vacuum cleaning and mopping and provides a comprehensive cleaning solution. Carpets are cleaned thoroughly in suction mode, while the robot skilfully avoids them in mopping mode. In addition, we have developed the RCF 3 especially for hard floors. It enables thorough wet cleaning with its unique roller cleaning method. The intelligent live mapping function allows you to keep an eye on the cleaning progress. You can rely on the first-class cleaning performance and advanced functions of our robots to make your everyday life easier. Have your floors carefully vacuumed and mopped while you get on with other things.

The choice is yours: tailor the cleaning level and choose from various cleaning methods

Kärcher robot vacuums and mops are real all-rounders. Whether it's simple dry cleaning with the suction fan and brush, a combination of dry cleaning and the extra wet wiping function with the microfibre cloth and fresh water tank or pure wet cleaning with the innovative Kärcher roller technology of the RCF 3 – anything is possible. And, thanks to the convenient app control feature, everything is always in hand. Cleaning settings, such as the suction power or the water volume for mopping, can be adjusted to suit individual requirements. Areas of heavier soiling can be passed over multiple times for a more thorough clean.

Cross-section of the Kärcher FC roller technology

Kärcher FC roller technology: now also available as a robot

Discover the proven and sophisticated Kärcher roller technology of our established and very efficient hard floor cleaners, which is now also available also in our innovative autonomous robotic mop RCF 3 for outstanding cleaning performance on numerous hard floors. During cleaning, the roller is continuously moistened with fresh water and detergent. Thanks to the two-tank system, dirty water and dirt particles are reliably transported to the dirty water tank. The non-stop rotation of the roller continuously removes dirty water and dirt particles and keeps it clean for a long time (the dirt does not accumulate in the roller), which allows hygienic and quick cleaning even on larger surfaces, without just spreading the dirt around.

Wet mopping and dry dirt pick-up in one step

With its cleaning roller, the RCF 3 guarantees very thorough mopping results and is extremely convenient. Forget tedious scrubbing – the robot does everything autonomously. Another plus point is that the RCF 3 also picks up light dry dirt during damp mopping. With regular use of the RCF 3 and normal household soiling, there's not even any need to take the vacuum cleaner out of the cupboard. And once the work is done, cleaning the device is also child's play: all removable parts can simply be rinsed under the tap, and the roller can be washed in the washing machine at 60 °C.

Robotic vacuum cleaners and robot mops – The differences

Robotic vacuum cleaner with wet wiping function or robot mop with dry dirt pick-up? RCV or RCF? Here is an overview of the differences between the two robotic cleaning systems.

RCV: Robotic vacuum cleaners with wet wiping function

General

Main application: dry cleaning
Areas of application: hard floor, carpet
Tanks: fresh water tank, dry dirt tank

Vacuum cleaning/dry dirt pick-up

Types of dirt (dry, loose dirt): numerous dry, loose dirt particles
Dry dirt unit: sweeping brush and suction function
Dry dirt pick-up: with the sweeping brush and additional suction function into the dry dirt container

Mopping

Types of dirt (adhering dirt): fine dust and light adhering dirt
Mopping unit: mop pad (static)
Wet wiping function: damp cleaning with mop pad to remove fine dust and lightly adhering dirt

RCF: Robot mop

Dry dirt pick-up: with the microfibre roller into the dirty water tank during wet mopping

Mopping

Types of dirt (adhering dirt): also stubborn adhering dirt such as sauce stains, footprints, coffee stains
Mopping unit: microfibre rollers (rotating)
Wet wiping function: damp cleaning with efficient roller technology for thorough wet cleaning in line with the established Kärcher hard floor cleaners

RCV 3 – the entry-level model

Vacuuming or mopping – our entry-level model can do both

Win back time for the finer things in life, while our cleaning robots take care of the vacuuming and mopping. Our entry-level model, the RCV 3, cleans all the usual domestic hard floors and low-pile carpet coverings autonomously, systematically and completely reliably – even when you're not home, of course. Using the app, you can adjust the cleaning to suit your particular requirements and your home. You decide what gets cleaned when. Set specific cleaning programmes for each individual room. Define no-go zones, if there are certain areas the robotic vacuum cleaner should not enter. Or use the spot cleaning function to direct it to points that need extra attention. All rooms are mapped with precise LiDAR navigation and ultra-sensitive sensors that detect steps and large drops for safety during cleaning runs.

Technical data

Suction power: 2,500 Pa
Run time: 120 min
2-in-1 waste container (330 ml) incl. fresh water tank (170 ml)
Dry waste container: 500 ml

Features of the RCV 3

LiDAR navigation

With its fast and robust LiDAR navigation, the robot scans the rooms, giving it the best maps to navigate safely through rooms even in the dark.

Voice output

Communication is key. That's why the robot provides important information via voice output in addition to signal tones.

2-in-1 waste container and fresh water tank

Once vacuumed, dry dirt is trapped in the container. Within a dedicated chamber of that container, there is also a fresh water tank for wetting the wiping cloth. You can use the app to easily set the amount of water to be used for cleaning. If you want the device to just vacuum, because there's no need to mop right now, you can also change the waste container completely, and insert the exclusively dry waste container, which has a larger capacity for dry dirt than the 2-in-1 bin.

Kärcher Home Robots app

With the app, you can control your cleaning robot wherever you are, get status updates and view the cleaning progress. Thanks to the detailed map of your rooms, you can determine exactly where to clean and where not.

Operating from the device

Switch the robot on or off at the device itself and send it back to the station. The LED shows you the device status at a glance.

Infrared sensor to localise the charging station

The infrared sensor ensures that the robot always returns to its charging station.

Mop plate with microfibre cleaning cloth

To mop specific areas, a mop plate with a microfibre cloth is included in the scope of supply, which is wetted with fresh water from its own tank.

Rotating cleaning brush and suction fan

The combination of rotating brush and suction function removes coarse dirt as well as fine dust for excellent cleaning performance.

Fall sensors

The fall sensors reliably prevent the RCV 3 from falling down steps or other drops. The sensors scan the floor. If a large drop is detected, the controller receives a signal triggering the robot to turn around.

Side brush

The side brush sweeps dirt from along the edges into the centre in front of the main brush, so it can be swept accurately into the waste container. This is how it ensures edges are always well cleaned.

RCV 5 – the smart one

As thorough as the RCV 3 – but with the addition of artificial intelligence

If you want to make sure that shoes and cables that are lying around don't become food for the robotic vacuum cleaner, use the RCV 5's artificial intelligence. Our top model offers you all-round carefree floor cleaning. As well as LiDAR navigation, this robotic vacuum cleaner and mop has a dual laser system and a camera to make sure it reliably detects and navigates every last obstacle. Its low operating noise also makes the RCV 5 a really considerate housemate. Hard floors can be vacuumed or mopped by this robotic cleaning assistant – depending on the program selected. For intensive carpet cleaning, there's also an Auto Boost function that delivers extra power to remove dust from textile fabrics. While in mopping mode, the robot will not travel over carpets. Controlling the RCV 5 is simple too, thanks to the app.

Technical data:

Suction power: 5,000 Pa
