Miele’s new Scout

As winner of a Best in Category Award for Domestic Appliances at the recent 2015 Good Design Awards, the Miele Scout RX1 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is a combination of high-end technology and pure design excellence.

The result is a high performance automatic cleaning unit with carefully-designed functionality that allows it to operate even when no one is at home! Distinguished by Miele’s exclusive Smart Navigation System, this efficient model navigates the home to deliver a most thorough cleaning with outstanding precision.Miele Scout RX1 Insitu (3)

Miele’s exclusive Smart Navigation System comprises a unique combination of a roof-mapping camera, gyro sensor, electronics and innovative software to effectively navigate the unit. Unlike chaotic systems which clean randomly, the Miele Scout RX1’s indoor positioning system maps out the home in order to chart out a course for the most intelligent cleaning journey ensuring it never misses a spot! The smart Scout RX1 then vacuums in parallel paths so that even the most difficult-to-access areas and edges are methodically, and reliably, cleaned.

For further convenience, the Scout RX1 even offers four cleaning modes. In Auto Mode, with just the touch of a button the unit autonomously accesses all the required areas and charges itself when necessary. Should there only be a minor spill, the Scout RX1 can quickly remove dirt in only that specified area in Spot Modeimages

Should the home require a more thorough clean, you can simply select the Corner Mode and the RX1 will clean  in Auto Mode and return to thoroughly clean corners, while in Turbo Mode the RX1 removes dust, dirt and pet hair in half the time, ideal when only a quick clean-up is required. Activation and selection of the cleaning modes is incredibly simple using the Scout RX1’s touch user interface or the accompanying remote control. Users can even set a timer for automatic cleaning at any time of day.Miele Scout RX1 deep etch (2)

While small and compact, the Miele Scout RX1 guarantees Miele’s signature level of hygiene. Two-stage AirClean filters ensure room air is perfectly purified after vacuuming, while the practical 0.6L capacity dirt storage is incredibly easy to empty. The Miele Scout RX1 features a superbly sleek and compact design at only 8.9cm high. This ensures that this efficient unit can easily reach difficult-to-access areas such as under furniture or staircases. Furthermore, the RX1 can even effortless cross door thresholds and easily move onto carpets up to 2cm high.

Delivering virtually non-stop power, the Scout RX1’s rechargeable battery conveniently lasts for up to two hours, with the ability to clean an area of 150m2 without a break. Complete with its own charging station and a host of accessories including a cleaning brush, 1 metre magnetic strip to establish borders, as well as a spare filter, the Miele Scout RX1 is available from Miele Centers and the Miele Online Shop for a retail price of $999.
