Never vacuum or mop yourself again - that's the promise of cleaning robots. Stiftung Warentest regularly tests what the robots can do on hard floors or carpets, how thoroughly they clean - in short, what they are good for in practice. Many appliances show weaknesses, especially when it comes to mopping...

The Kärcher RCV5 can do everything a robot cleaner should be able to do. It is a practical everyday helper and cleans almost all floor coverings thoroughly. The suction station eliminates the need to manually empty its dust container and is therefore not only recommended for allergy sufferers.

The robot works precisely and very rarely bumps into furniture or other furnishings during the test. The cleaning performance is convincing and the mopping function is also acceptable. The suction station turns the appliance, which is also available separately, into a complete cleaning package.
