A reliable and durable robot with excellent suction power. However, we were not entirely convinced by the mopping function.
More time for the pleasant things in life: The smart cleaning robot RCV 3 takes care of floor cleaning. Once started, the RCV 3 systematically and independently cleans hard floors and low-pile carpets. Dry dirt is reliably transported into the built-in dust container by the rotating brush, the side brush for edges, and the blower. If needed, the RCV 3 can not only vacuum but also mop. When the battery capacity drops, the RCV 3 recharges its battery in between and always returns to its charging station after completing its work. Through app control, the RCV 3 goes on an exploration tour and automatically creates a map of the rooms using environmental detection (LiDAR). Individual cleaning parameters can be set for each room, such as where to vacuum, mop, or not clean at all. Additional sensors prevent it from falling down stairs. The RCV 3 can be conveniently started via the app, a pre-set individual schedule, or by pressing a button on the device. If the cleaning robot needs assistance, it communicates this in many situations through voice output.
