Miele’s Scout RX1 “sets new standards” in robotic vacuum cleaners Miele’s Scout RX1 robotic vacuum cleaner incorporates a Smart Navigation system that uses the principle of ‘systematic’ navigation but with enhanced electronics and software, which the German brand says makes it a “benchmark” product in terms of navigation capacity.

The system features an integrated gyro sensor that measures and registers the turning movements, with a high-quality digital camera scanning the ceiling of the room several times a minute to ensure precision. The Scout RX1 also benefits from seven infrared sensors that scan 180 degrees in front of the robovac to avoid collisions, and has a further three sensors beneath to avoid falling off steps. It is claimed to have good traction on all common floor coverings is able to negotiate height differences of up to 2cm. The Triple Cleaning System has two long rotating side brushes that target difficult areas along the walls of rooms or furniture items and sweep dirt towards the centre of the unit, where a removable beater bar picks up the coarse particles. In the third cleaning stage, a fan transports the finer dust into a removable dust box with 0.6L capacity. An AirClean filter ensures clean air in the room. http://www.miele.co.uk/
