You can leave the Miele Scout RX1 robotic vacuum cleaner to do its work while you get on with life.
Miele customers have high expectations of the design and performance of the brand’s appliances, and the Scout RX1 ticks all the boxes.
This sleek, understated robotic vacuum cleaner has an array of infrared and gyro sensors as well as a camera that scans the ceiling, making it very good at navigating and avoiding collisions. It has a systematic navigation system, so it covers the area to be cleaned in parallel tracks instead of randomly crisscrossing the room, which many other robovacs do. This saves time and battery power.
The Scout is small enough to get in under a low sofa, and it can handle getting over a threshold or onto a thick rug.
You can put the Scout to work using the touch panel on the unit or the supplied remote control, or you can set it on a timer.
Prices start at R9 999 and are available at miele.co.za.
